The LG one is more expensive, but they're pretty much identical in terms of features

All 21:9 29inch aspect ratio computer monitor all uses the exact same LG panel. Pick the one that has the features that interest you and the company you trust most for RMA, and warranty coverage.

 

Personally I would recommend the Dell U2912WM, because it has 0 bright and stuck pixel warranty, and only 6 or more dead pixel coverage, with no zone or distance crap. Plus, Dell pays and takes of shipping both direction for you. And you get to keep the monitor while you wait for the replacement one. So you always have a monitor on your desk.

They are fine. They are 6-bit eIPS panel, much like what you would expect from the U2312HM or the U2412M, if you have either. Just in 29inch version.

If you buy the LG branded model, just make sure you have the latest revision, as they improved the monitor configuration/circuitry to make it faster, and well better throughout from the initial revision.

Do you mean like LG 29EA93-P? or how can you be sure, you get the latest version?

I was looking at the AOC one myself, been doing plenty of googling and many people seem satisfied for games. I am not too worried about price though so I may just spend the extra money and get the Asus one due to branding/warranty popularity among consumers.

Actually, for warranty, Dell has the best one. Where you get to keep the monitor while they send you a replacement one. And in the box of the replacement one, you'll find a pre-paid shipping label ready to be stick over the current one, for you to return the faulty monitor. In other words, pay Dell shipping both directions and prepares everything for you. You just have to call the mail carrier to come and pick it up.

After reading that review and seeing the steps LG took to improving the firmware....I am pretty much sold. Good stuff.

Everything I've read says the dell has bad motion blur despite it being the same LG panel.

 

( I purchased this locally from FRYs )

TFTCentral, an in depth monitor review site, says it's good.

[edit]

Hmm... PRAD, another in depth monitor review site disagree, although not horrible, just not great.

I wonder if it's a revision thing...

Wtv, I doubt you'll have the bad luck of another bright pixel. Just return it and buy another one. Don't exchange it. (exchanging doesn't reset your return time window)

You're right, I am bringing it back Sunday. Believe I had the last one so I will just return it and order the Dell direct.

Or wait until they receive more... don't they get new stock every week?

 

If you want to get the Dell one, pick the phone to order.. you can price negotiate. So assuming that the response time is not as good, at least you'll have a lower price.

So I had to just return it...because they are out of stock...AND....they say it is a discontinued product and will never be getting more. 

 

Weird...

Yea it makes absolutely no sense...I had the 29EA73-P...

 

As much as I loved the format...I may ditch it and go for this: http://www.frys.com/product/7511736?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

 

 

You are a trusted advisor? Any recommendations? I will be upgrading to a GTX 780 after I get my screen figured out. I play a mix of game types. I'm coming from a 22"  LCD $100 LG monitor that is 3yrs old.
