Hello, 

 

looking to purchase a wide screen monitor and came upon these 2 monitors, any advice on which is better. 

 

Will be using this in a new build, ryzen 1600 & rx580 or nvidia 1060

 

- 29um59, $50 cheaper, says led.

-29um69G, looks better

 

main usage will be for games and some internet and office work.

 

thank you

Look about the same. I'd get the 69G as it looks a bit cleaner.

They're both 75Hz. One is just 40-75Hz, and the other is 75Hz. IDK what they mean by that.

Both has freesync. Its hard to decide, because price is so close together. But i feel like i am missing something that differentiates these 2 monitors.

 

the 29um69, should be higher msrp.

 

is it simply because the 29um59-p is led and the 29um69g is not led?

 

and could someone please give me advice if these (cheap) monitors will bottleneck the rx580?

Pretty sure the 59 is not freesync, or it would say.

 

LED just refers to the backlight. They probably both are led.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I think The 29UM69G has some similarity to its bigger brother, 34UC79G which is optimized for gaming

but its not a super fast panel, and there is some ghosting

I like LG monitors that end with G, because it is gaming specced and similar to 34UC79G

I think its region is different. If you have a look on LG official site you can found 69G from UK site and you can find 59G from Asia region. That's why the price and design is different I guess
