Best 29" Ultrawide?

[Skeeter]

Only requirements being that it must be height adjustable, and have the smallest amount of space taken up behind the screen as possible with a stand that doesn't stick out to far at the back. I have my desk up against the wall and try to get my monitor as far away as possible so need a monitor that doesn't have a stand that forces the screen into my face (so ROG or Acer screens are out to start with).

 

Oh, and it should be cheap.

This is by far the best 29 inch 2560x1080p monitor there is:

Although it is listed as 60hz there I "overclocked" it to 80hz with ease, the stand is awesome, the bezel is fin, the IPS panel is of outstanding quality and yes 29 inch is the 2560x1080p sweet spot in pixel density... it is 5ms response time and GTG so playing on cs:go on it at 80hz already is quite the advantage over normal 60hz monitors.

LG winning so far

 

I'm assuming the 68 is the newer version to the 58. Any reason they dropped from 75 to 60hz?

I think the 68 is more premium

Like I just said, you can use either nVidia control panel (custom resolution) and set it to 80hz(worked on all 3 monitors I tried, 90hz is achievable but not recommend due to some artifacts) or AMD equivalency (although with FreeSync active then the maximum refresh is 75hz).

 

The monitor is awesome I have like 3 of those for different computers since its pricing is excellent here in Brazil [:

 

Edit*
I should add that you need to use DisplayPort for the refresh rates higher than 60hz, so no using HDMI with it.

Unfortunately Brexit means pricing for pretty much everything in the UK is fubar :p. But at £250 this looks like the way to go. Unless I get compelling evidence to chose something else I will prob be picking one of these up.

 

Thanks

Brakes on, the LG isn't height adjustable...

 

I have my 24" Dell at almost max height, the LG would sit almost 8cm lower. Why don't manufacturers all just put height adjustable stands on everything!!!
