What customers say about "Features"

LG 29UB55-B LCD Monitor

Built-in speakers decent and play fairly loudly.
Easy to use joystick for menu access. I find this much easier to use than the typical 5-6 tiny extremely poorly labeled buttons on most monitors.
Stand is outstanding. Anti-flicker mode can come in handy. Nice features.
Has most of the same features as the more expensive counterparts.
Single menu control stick idea neat but a pain sometimes.

LG 29UM65-P Monitor

Speakers sound perfectly fine for everyday tasks and internet browsing, much better than my computer speakers.
The different options for screen splitting are fantastic. I highly recommend it.
I use it all the time for two split screens and it is perfect.
It's great for my work where i need multiple screens open at once.
I really didn't find the picture-in-picture features from the multiple inputs particularly useful.

Telescoping stand. Simple HDMI connection. Easy to connect.
This comes in very handy for Nvidia cards which prioritize the video output thusly: DVI-D, HDMI, Displayport.
I have a desktop and laptop connected and can utilize the DVI and HDMI ports. Good connect.
Good looking display with many connection options.
It came with a DP connection but no VGA.

LG 29UM65-P Monitor

I have this connected to the latest Mac Mini with a Display Port cable and the image is crisp.
This Display Port cable is a simple and inexpensive way to get the most out of this monitor with most newer Macs.
I love this display. When connected to a MacBook Pro it works great.
You can also hook up a second computer via HDMI (or other options) and split the screen. Good connect.
Movies and videos look truly amazing. Great connectivity.
