LG 38UC99

Rating: 4.9

The largest monitor in our collection. The diagonal of its display reaches an enchanting 38 inches. At the same time, the device is completely unlike any TV with a similar parameter. The fact is that the monitor screen is stretched wide, as a result of which he received a ratio of 24:10. Therefore, it is not intended for viewing videos obtained with standard cameras (we do not take into account widescreen films) - you will be disturbed by black stripes on the sides. But on this monitor the games look gorgeous. And we don’t even talk about simultaneous operation in two applications! Also in favor of the LG 38UC99 some people who are professionally involved in video editing make their choice. In short, if you regularly come across situations when you needed a second monitor, be sure to pay attention to this model - in fact, it replaces two ordinary screens at once.

Traditionally, for LG products, the monitor has received an IPS display. As you know, this screen has a maximum viewing angle. But it must be admitted that such a wide display would still be inconvenient to use from a normal workplace if it had not been bent. As a result, the monitor was also very beautiful! People visiting you will undoubtedly admire such a miracle of technology! The screen resolution is 3840x1600 pixels - this is an adequate parameter for such a diagonal. Up to 4K or 5K resolution is not enough, but the copy turned out to be not the most expensive. Yes, you may not believe it, but now there are computer monitors, which are much more expensive than 70 thousand rubles.

The model opening our rating has a number of other advantages, which should be mentioned. For example, the screen set here has a response time of 5 ms. Not bad for this size! Of course, to cybersportsmen this will not be enough, but the monitor was not created for them. Regular players will appreciate the increased refresh rate, which is 75 Hz. Well, the backlight without flickering will be useful to absolutely everyone - the eyes with it do not strain at all.

The display used here is capable of displaying over a billion colors. This means that through the monitor you can even watch HDR content.However, do not expect a perfect result - the IPS-matrix is ​​equipped with a separate layer with backlight, and therefore the monitor's capabilities are limited by low contrast.

Of course, the buyer may want to connect the device to several sources of the image at once. Here we use two HDMI 2.0 connectors and one DisplayPort. There is also the possibility of receiving images via USB. The monitor can also be used as a USB hub - it is proposed to connect peripherals to two USB 3.0 connectors. Another on the body of this model is the headphone output. However, you can use the built-in 10-watt speakers for audio output. And the monitor can also transmit sound to a Bluetooth accessory, be it a speaker or a headset. In short, impressive! But this is a monitor, not a TV.

The product has received the support of technology FreeSync, which is especially important in dynamic games. Well, if we talk about the shortcomings of this model, then you can only find fault with the power supply, which is external. Also, not everyone will like the power consumption reaching 120 watts. It turns out that the monitor eats the same amount of electricity as any 50-inch TV.

LG 34UC89G

Rating: 4.8

Another monitor with a curved screen in our ranking. It turned out a little cheaper, but also smaller. The diagonal of the IPS display used here is reduced to 34 inches. And the aspect ratio turned out not so impressive. However, 21: 9 is an ideal option for watching many Hollywood films, in most cases there will be no black bars on either side. By the way, in some ways, the monitor even surpasses the previously considered model. This representative of our rating can boast a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The picture is as smooth as possible - this is especially noticeable in games, if a powerful graphics card is used, and action films.

However, it is still impossible to call the curved screen installed here perfect. Yes, it has a response time of 5 ms, which should suit many gamers. However, it uses the traditional 8-bit matrix, so you should not count on a full HDR. Well, the manufacturing technology does its job - because of the bright backlighting, the contrast is 1000: 1. Perhaps because of this, the monitor is recommended for purchase only to gamers - in games, the above disadvantages are completely invisible. Such people are quite satisfied with the standard 16.7 million colors, as they will be satisfied with the maximum viewing angles. And they will appreciate the function of G-Sync.

Dealt with the display. However, the monitor consists not only of it. We must not forget that the picture on the screen must somehow be transferred. For image reception, HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 connectors are used here. And on the back of the monitor there is a pair of USB 3.0 sockets - they are used to connect any peripherals. Do not forget the manufacturer and headphone out. In short, with such a monitor, you can hide the system unit out of sight, somewhere far away, because all the necessary connectors will be on hand even without it.

If the previous model considered consumed electricity in an unstoppable mode, the LG 34UC89G shows itself from the best side. Of course, 70 watts is also quite a lot, but for such a diagonal, perhaps, it is quite acceptable. Confuses the power supply, which is external here. However, this is a typical situation for most monitors, especially if we talk exclusively about LG Electronics products.

By default, the monitor is used in a pair with a stand, which is adjustable in height here. But in some cases it is easier to hang the device on the wall - this is done using the standard VESA mount measuring 100x100 mm.

LG 27UK650

Rating: 4.7

Of course, our rating will consist not only of purely game monitors. For example, the LG 27UK650 is a good option for any usage scenario. It has a standard 16: 9 aspect ratio. The screen is flat, but its resolution is 3840x2160 pixels. This means that the 27-inch thin-frame monitor is ideal for watching movies and other video content in 4K resolution. We recommend doing this also with HDR activation — the IPS panel used here supports this, displaying over 1 billion colors. However, the manufacturing technology still does not allow to squeeze out of HDR absolutely everything - the presence of the backlight does not make the picture perfectly contrast. But the IPS-screen has maximum viewing angles. Also its advantage is the response time not exceeding 5 ms.

In the Russian stores for this monitor are asked around 32 thousand rubles. So, the South Korean manufacturer had to save on something. In this case, this is the refresh rate of the screen - it does not exceed 61 Hz. That is why even with the support of technology FreeSync monitor is not called gaming. Everyone knows that any gamer with a powerful video card wants to see a faster frame rate.

During its operation, the device consumes approximately 45 watts of electricity. This is an excellent result, especially if you remember the brightness of the backlight used here and the resolution of the matrix. To connect to a computer using two connectors HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort. Please note that there is no USB hub - the manufacturer also saved on this. There are no speakers either, although the 3.5 mm headphone output still remained.

Otherwise, this is a familiar monitor belonging to the mid-budget segment. LG has used a height-adjustable stand here. Unusually, it looks like the ability to rotate the monitor by 90 degrees - portrait mode can be useful to people who actively draw or are engaged in retouching photos. And on the back of the device there are traditional holes for wall mounting 100x100 mm in size. Monitor weight does not exceed 4.9 kg. Because of this, it seems that even drywall will withstand it (we do not recommend checking).

LG 24UD58

Rating: 4.7

This monitor was even more compact - it has a display, the diagonal of which does not exceed 23.8 inches. Also, from the model just discussed above, it is distinguished by a wider framework. And the stand here is more simplified - the buyer does not need to wait for the possibility of either turning the monitor or adjusting its height. But many people do not care. It is much more important for them that the IPS-screen installed here can boast of a full 4K resolution. It allows you to enjoy every photo.It also encourages to get an action camera that can shoot 4K video. Or a quality quadcopter. However, the monitor can boast not only the resolution, but also the maximum viewing angles. Players will love the response time of 5 ms. And this screen can display 1 billion colors. This means that any content that supports HDR10 will look gorgeous here. And if computer games with such a color palette require an incredibly expensive video card, then the purchase of a game console will be relatively inexpensive. Connecting it with a computer is not difficult, because on the back of the monitor there is a pair of HDMI 2.0 sockets and one DisplayPort. And there is also a headphone jack.

Of course, it could not do without simplifications. To some, the display may not seem bright enough. And if you can argue with this, then you can not deny the lack of contrast. It is because of this that the HDR effect will feel worse than on any OLED TV. Also, not everyone will like the refresh rate of the screen, which is 61 Hz.

As mentioned above, the monitor can not be called huge. In this regard, its power consumption is only 35 watts. And the surprise: the power supply is hidden under the back cover! Because of this, the monitor at certain moments can get very hot, but you should definitely not worry about it.

LG 29UM69G

Rating: 4.6

The most affordable monitor among those whose screen can boast an aspect ratio of 21: 9. This alone makes the device gaming. Although it must be admitted that not every gamer wants to buy a monitor for 15 thousand rubles. Many players will feel some kind of trick, eventually settling on a more expensive model. So, what did the manufacturer save on?

The first thing to note is the display resolution. It is 2560x1080 pixels. If you have a GeForce 1080 Ti video card at your disposal, this will surely seem a little. Well, if your computer does not have top-end components, then the above resolution will be fine - it will not force the graphics adapter to strain too much.

Savings are noticeable and on a fairly wide frame. It must be admitted that now there are a large number of LCD monitors with thinner frames. Well, the matrix used here is standard, that is, 8-bit. This means that watching the content with the HDR effect just will not work. Not everyone will like the number of connectors - for receiving a picture, HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 and USB Type-C are used one by one. Well, the last serious drawback can be considered an external power supply. However, for many people it will be located under the computer desk, without interfering at all.

If this monitor is in our rating, it means it has a lot of advantages. Indeed it is. When watching movies and other videos please maximum viewing angles. But nothing else was expected, because the company LG Electronics traditionally for themselves set here an IPS-matrix. Also, the monitor has a response time of 5 ms. A special technology allows you to increase the response in dynamic scenes up to 1 ms. This should suit absolutely every gamer.

The monitor turned out to be absolutely small - the diagonal of its display does not exceed 29 inches. In this regard, their power consumption is only 35 watts. And that's with a 5-watt speaker in here! To display the image, a flicker-free backlight is used here. The picture itself is updated with a frequency of 75 Hz. Frankly, this is most unexpected - usually budget monitors have a standard update rate.

The device has some other limitations.But about them there is no need to tell in detail. The fact is that many of them can be guessed immediately after you learn that the IPS-matrix is ​​used here. In particular, the screen has a fairly low contrast, due to the presence of a separate layer with backlight.

Interestingly, even such a relatively small monitor can be hung on the wall. For this, a traditional 100 mm mount is used.

LG 25UM58

Rating: 4.5

Oddly enough, the cheapest monitor in our rating is also a widescreen one. Its screen has an aspect ratio, the resolution is 2560x1080 pixels. You can buy this model in Russian stores for only 10 thousand rubles. Of course, such a monitor could not get some serious simplifications. The most important of these is the lack of DisplayPort. So, only two HDMI 1.4 jacks should be used to connect a desktop computer and a laptop. Also, the manufacturer did not endow his creation with stereo speakers, even the simplest. At the same time, the headphone jack has not gone anywhere - that is, the sound received via HDMI by the electronic part of the monitor is still being processed.

The IPS panel is used as the screen here. Surprisingly, it is endowed with an update rate increased to 75 Hz. This will certainly be noticeable when you start almost any computer game, especially if a powerful graphics card is hidden in the depths of the system unit. The response time here is 5 ms, which should also suit 99% of gamers. Should be pleased and the backlight does not have the effect of flicker. It is impossible to notice, but the eyes will surely tire less. And the screen installed here has maximum viewing angles - the picture is not distorted at all, no matter which side you look at it.

The cost of the monitor is small, so the IPS-screen did not receive any improvements. As a result, the user is waiting for the standard contrast, equal to 1000: 1. That is, the black colors here in fact are not. But this is a problem for all monitors, which include WLED-backlight. There is also a limited number of colors - 16.7 million colors are displayed on the screen. So, to see the HDR content will not succeed.

The LG 25UM58 monitor that came to our rating was relatively small. It is possible that it was the 25-inch diagonal of the screen that influenced the manufacturer to supply its creation with an external power supply — there was simply no room under the back cover of a sufficiently thin monitor. And small size has affected the power consumption, which in this case does not exceed 27 watts. Interestingly, even such a monitor can be hung on the wall - on its rear panel there are holes for 75 mm mounting.

Conclusion

This is the list of the best LG monitors. The devices described in this article are suitable for connecting any computers to them.However, do not forget that high-resolution models require decent computing power - you should stock up with a good video card or a top-end laptop before you buy them.
