Overview
A space-saving ultrawide, the LG 29U531A offers 2560 × 1080 across 29 inches of IPS panel, with 40–100 Hz FreeSync, 99% sRGB and factory calibration. Besides HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 it has a USB-C input, and MaxxAudio speakers are built in. It weighs only 4.5 kg and the stand is fixed, so a monitor arm may help if you want height control. Brightness is 250 nits. It is a sensible pick when desk depth is limited but you still want the extra width for timelines and side-by-side windows.
