What do you guys think about the 25UM58-P and the 29UM68-P from LG?

 

They seem pretty good. I am not sure, which one delivers more bank for your buck? Anyone have tested both? I need opinions of the important details

 

I have the RX470

 

Thanks!

I would get at least the 29" one. The aspect-ration makes you lose quite a bit of height compared to a similar sized 16:9, so a 25" is pretty small for todays standards.

I have a 34" ultrawide that it is pretty much a 27" 16:9 monitor.

I don't like the 25" ultrawide because it is really not worth it. You end up with about 40square inches less screen area than a 25" 16:9 which is really not ideal. I have a 25" ultrawide and its really not a good experience. Get the 29"

Same here :)

That's why I'm a little worried about that 25"...
