<p style="line-height: 19px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last year I reviewed the LG 29EA93 monitor before its scheduled US release date. As someone that thinks there is a good market for ultrawide displays, the 21:9 aspect ratio was very interesting to me, and something I wanted to take a look at personally. While the aspect ratio was nice and enveloping for gaming, there were aspects of the monitor that were disappointing, and in the end it was something I didn't really recommend.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 19px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: small;">I really dislike writing negative reviews. Writing one means that I&rsquo;ve spent a good deal of time with a product while not enjoying the experience. It means that a team of engineers and designers has spent a lot of time working on something that didn&rsquo;t make the cut, or they made a series of compromises for some reason that led to an end user experience that was unsatisfying. I&rsquo;d much rather write effusive praise of a wonderful product that people should run out and buy than write something bad.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 19px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: small;">Typically when I write a negative review, I either hear a little feedback from a company, or nothing at all. Maybe they knew the product wasn&rsquo;t great but released it anyway, or they didn&rsquo;t care. Sometimes I hear that a company will fix something, and then I try to hold onto hardware and test that to see if they do, but I&rsquo;ve never had feedback like I did from LG after I initially reviewed their 29EA93 ultra-widescreen monitor.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 19px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had multiple emails full of detailed questions about how I test, what I was after, and what should be done to improve upon the current version. After all of these conversations, they flew out an engineer with an updated version of the 29EA93 that they said would address almost all of my issues with the first version. Did LG manage to go back and correct the problems that I found, so that the monitor now performs much better? I had to go ahead and test it to find out.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 19px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6741/lg-29ea93-monitor-review-rev-125" target="_blank">Read more...</a></span></p>
