Which 29 inch 21:9 monitor to buy?
The title says it all, here are some of the ones I have had my eye on, but feel free to suggest others. Price wise lower is better, I'd like to pay $450 or less. But these things go on sale ALL the time so even if one is more it might plummet.

If you guys don't know about Massdrop, it is a site where you organize group-buys to get discounts. They are in talks with LG about getting the 34UM95-P (that Linus reviewed and was in love with) on their site. It could get down to like $500 so that would be an absolute STEAL!

The more votes this page gets the more likely it will happen:

As for choosing between these, I will go with the LG out of those four in the original post. It has the best response times and input lag times.

AOC q2963Pm Black 29 if you want best for your money and ASUS Designo Series MX299Q 29 if you want the best one of them, if you think this helped you please pick it as the top answer :D

The Asus, the LG and the AOC have all the same panel: LG. The Acer has most likely a different one, so I can't say how it is. I have the AOC and I'm very pleased with it. The only downside is the non-all-over-consistent illumination, that means you can see the LED spots at some edges, but it's visible only when the screen is completely black, so I barely notice it. According to some reviews, the LG has the best screen, so if you don't mind to spend a bit more, go with it. If you're looking for the best price-performance ratio, go with the AOC. I wouldn't go with the ASUS, since it's more expensive than the LG, but I've read its screen is a bit worse than LG's, I guess it's on par with the AOC.
