What do you think about LG Ultra Wide 25UM65-P?

Tomek20225 · Jun 26, 2014

I'm looking for gaming monitor, maybe compared with watching movies and little bit of video editing. I'm really excited about this monitor. I heard a lot of good opinions about 29" one, but actually none about 25". So I ask you - What do you think?
It will work with one or two GTX 760.
Right now I'm using my 37' TV.
I thaught too about few other options at about the same proce - 2x 16:9 FHD monitors or 3x 4:3 HD monitors, but still the 21:9 is winning, because two FHD won't fit on my desk and 3 HD would look quite like crap, especially because of looking from closer (20-40 cm) and buying them just for gaming.
Will there be great 4K monitor at this porice? If no I'm still staying with that one.

I personally think it's dumb that LG even made a 21:9 25' monitor. It's long but it is really short. I took a look at one while cruising around Fry's Electronics and it was really tiny.

I just bought this over the weekend. I like just about everything about it except the coating on the screen seems to affect text display. Video is fantastic, and I like the lower profile. I'd rather spread out wide than tall. I will play with settings a bit and repost if I find better settings for text.

Did you end up finding better settings for displaying text?

Hello, Tomek
If you are looking for a gaming monitor there are bunch of better options. 25UM65 is 60Hz monitor with response time 14ms. Not that good for you unless you're a hardcore gamer.
I'm thinking buying the same one for my CAD workstation. It's wide but it's short. If you already bought can you share your experience please??

I did end up purchasing the LG Ultra Wide 25UM65-P , and i must say i enjoy gaming on it because of the color clarity, split screen function and decent refresh rate , my only gripe with this monitor is that for some reason i find it troublesome to turn on and off at time because of how the button is arched under the middle of the monitor, also i believe this monitor should have came with a remote but mine didn't . Other than that small problem i say it was worth the price. I also dont feel like i need to upgrade to any thing closer to 4k this 2 k monitor does my duel gtx970's justice.

I used this monitor .Its working fine with games like battlefield hardline or call of duty advanced warfare.I am using gtx 970 nvidia card graphic look very superb.But i miss 3d compatibility in it.I dont know it support 3d or not as its refresh rate is 60hz only which is not good .At least LG think about computer monitor upgrade features in this price before launching .
