What monitor do you have ATM? Go with that one. It looks ugly otherwise

I would choose the 3rd, because of the slim bezel and the stand is the most sexy out of all of them

1st one is much better than the second.

 

it has ips and speakers as the 2nd one doesnt

 

between the 1st and third it all depends if you want the wider screen or not

I actually have a LG flatron E2240s. (http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-E2240S-led-monitor)

Does a wider screen fit well in dual screen ?

Guys, I have another question about the first one, will it be compatible with freesynch with its displayport  ?

I would not say it fits well, but you can use the smaller one as a secondary screen to have static text, mail and that type of stuff.

Sorry, I have the same doubt, if it has a Display Port 1.2a it should, but I couldn’t find any clue of what version of display port the LG 29UM65 has DX

Yeap, my plan is to use my old screen for doing extra stuff while gaming, watching a movie or whatever main stuff... So, for you, in that regard it would be ok ?

So you would choose the 3rd over having a 21:9 ratio just because it has a "sexy" stand?

Should be ok… I can’t say much more as I don’t possess a Wide monitor, but if you want to have an idea what it looks like , take the dimensions of the monitor and tape together some paper until you have a ‘’paper screen’’ you can move around your desk

Nope, the 3rd is 16:9 :P

But 23" in 16:9 looks probably bigger than 25" in 21:9 !
