Product Overview

LG 29WL50S UltraWide is an affordable ultra-wide IPS monitor with an UW-FHD resolution. Despite its affordability, it covers close to 100% sRGB color space, supports HDR 10 and FreeSync, and comes with stereo speakers for convenience.

Still, the LG 29WL50S should not be mistaken for a premium monitor. It has thick bezels that reminds us of monitors from a decade ago. While it comes with dual HDMI 2.0 ports, there is no other import options. Indeed, while compatible with FreeSync, the 29WL50S's mediocre 75Hz maximum refresh rate means that it is not a good gaming monitor, either.

These compromises, however, are not major concerns to consumers who purchase this monitor for general computing scenarios. Its relatively rich color gamut, wide viewing angle, and LG's great compatibility and support means that it can make for a good option to get a lot of screen real estate without dishing out a lot of dough.

The sister model of the 29WL50S is the 34WL50S, which carries the same specs to a more generous display area. Another sister model is the 29WL500, which drops the stereo speakers but is largely the same otherwise.
