With the student discount, this ultrawide monitor costs less than $200 for me, even after tax. Why is this monitor significantly cheaper than other ultrawide options?

it's not the most popular size, 29" is kinda small for ultrawide IMO and it is only 1080p. Maybe a clearance sale.
but LG makes good stuff, so I see no reason not to go for it.

the size is pretty much like a 23" standard wide 1080p monitor but wider which is actually a sweet spot between size and pixel density. most retailers are selling at around $188 USD (converted) at malaysia. it is kind of an amazing monitor for the price, i suspect the primary reason it is that cheap because it is not a true 8bit panel (6bit + FRC) but it still delivers pretty good pictures for the untrained eyes like mine.
