Pros
Pro Picture-in-picture mode easily displays two inputs at once
Because of the wide aspect ratio, LG offers a built-in picture-in-picture mode (referred to as Split Screen) to display two inputs at once.
Pro Looks great from every angle
The LG 29UM68 uses has great viewing angles, both vertically and horizontally. Color shifting (distortion of colors when viewed at a wide angle) doesn't occur.
Pro No noticeable backlight bleeding
The monitor doesn't allow any light of the backlight to get through, which results in no noticeable backlight bleeding: that means dark areas remain dark as intended.
Pro Good value for the money
The LG 29UM68 is relatively inexpensive compared to other 21:9 displays and is a great budget choice if you're specifically looking for an ultra-wide display.
Pro Aspect ratio is ideal for movies, offers greater field of view in games
The LG 29UM68 is a display with a rather unique 21:9 aspect ratio, which is ultra-wide. The difference with a regular 16:9 display is that there are added pixels on both sides, which increases workspace. It's also ideal to watch movies as most recent movies are filmed in a widescreen aspect ratio. Some games also offer support for 21:9 monitors and will allow you to have a greater field of view.
Pro Provides great image quality and color reproduction
The IPS-panel used in LG's monitor offers great image quality, especially compared to the more common TN-panels. Contrast is great with a 1000:1 ratio (better blacks), luminosity is excellent, images are vibrant and the color reproduction is great as well. These attributes are all due to the fact that an IPS panel was used.
Pro Fast response time
With a response time of just 1ms, the AOC G2770PQU is one of the fastest monitors on the market. Ideal for fast-paced gaming situations such as first person shooters.
Pro Different display modes
You can use 27 inch screen size of the monitor and adjust it accordingly. The monitor features built-in options to change the monitor view and switch between nine different screen sizes and aspect ratios.
Pro Fast 144Hz refresh rate
This display features a very fast refresh rate of 144Hz (144 times per second). This allows for extremely fluent gameplay and is a major improvement over regular 60Hz displays.
Cons
Con Refresh rate limited to 75Hz, not great for fast-paced action
The maximum supported refresh rate of this monitor is 75 Hz or 75 frames per second which is a tad faster than non-Freesync monitors, but is not as good as 120 or 144 Hz displays. Especially fast-paced games benefit from a higher refresh rate, as it offers a more fluid gaming experience.
Con Slow response time
The response time for the screen is limited at 5 ms, which is significantly slower than some other monitors. This makes the LG 29UM68 less ideal for gaming situations that require quick input.
Con No FreeSync or GSync support
The monitor does not support AMD's FreeSync nor NVIDIA's GSync for adaptive refresh rates without stuttering and screen tearing.
Con Expensive for a 1080p display
The price tag of the G2770 is on the higher end, especially for larger monitors with a 1080p resolution and no FreeSync capability.
