LG 29WK600-W vs LG 34UM58-P , they are almost the ,same price the 34" is little bit more expensive .I am worried about the resolution is 2560x1080 enough for 34"?I don't sit really close to the monitor and I don't have the best eyesight ( i wear prety strong glasses)  that's why i think the 34" won't bother me but i wanna hear what you think guys.

I personally was bothered with 29" at 2560x1080. Made the switch to 34" 3440x1440.

I use a 2560x1080 34 inch from maybe 2 feet away. Unless I really look I can't pick out individual pixels and I think it looks pretty good

The 29" one is a bit crisper at 95.8ppi vs the 81.7 ppi of the 34" but in contrast the overall experience of a bigger screen is usually better because you have more space for content consumption/creation so you can go for the 34" and you wont lose much

hmmm, I would recommend 29 still but since you said your eyesight isn't the best...

I'd still go for 29, since its still pretty big, and 34" for 1080p (well 2x 1080p) is quite large.
