I've been using a pair of 27 inch ASUS monitors for for years. They're oK, but I didn't buy them at the same time so was not able to get the exact same model when I bought the second. Although decent buys, I've been constantly frustrated by the fact that their VESA mounts don't line up horizontally, so one sits just a half inch higher than the other. I was also never able to get the color and tone of the two to match.
The new LG Ultrawide was an unplanned purchase. I got a deal notification from Amazon and when I looked at the $300 price tag and great specs, I couldn't pass it up:
QHD 3440 x 1440
IPS
HDR 10
AMD FreeSync Premium
Dynamic Action Sync
3-Side Borderless Design
OnScreen Control
Setup was quick and straight forward. The stem for the base snaps into place on the back of the monitor with a spring loaded catch. The aluminum pedestal for the base then attached to the s stem with a single thumb screw. It makes for a solid but light unit. The monitor tilts and stays out at the angle you desire. The onscreen menu makes it easy to adjust settings.
My only complaint, if you can call it one, is that I can't seem to get the embedded speakers to work. I'm opening a support ticket with LG for that
