When this article was available on Amazon.com then, I slammed. As usual, there was a rapid delivery.
Delivery, installation and commissioning:
After unpacking it is necessary to fix the monitor on the pillar with 2 screws on the back. The mainstay is very high despite plastic and the screen is steady.
The frame of the screen consists of a wider lower part, which has a brushed black finish and on the right bottom has 5 touch buttons for switching on / off or to enter and navigate the menu. At first glance, the remaining boundaries of the display are surrounded by a very thin black plastic frame. After the first time, however, it is clear that between the thin frame (1 mm) and the actual pixels, a further 1cm wider "black" area is that borders the display.
To start up a compact external power supply and a DVI-D cable are included. The cabling took no 5min and the screen prepared at power no problems. When you press the touch buttons on the bottom of a short signal is output by a piezo speaker, which I think sounds a bit annoying. Fortunately it is possible the sound through the built-in menu screen to disable.
General:
After turning on my PC (AMD Radeon HD 5870 and WIN8) was still put to the resolution of 2560x1080 and have a great sharpness, high pixel density, rich color reproduction and high viewing angle independence became noticeable. The screen remains So what is to be 100% faithful to the item description. Photo editing in Photoshop or Lightroom can be mastered much more comfortable compared to my old screen (BenQ G2420HDBL). Colors can be worlds better recognize the higher brightness and higher color space covers. My BenQ had compared to LG a veritable yellow cast! Must forget this not mean that the BenQ was located in the 200 price range.
As a further plus point I see the multitasking capabilities that use the 21: 9 format are feasible. Thus, several windows allow juxtaposing without having to give up large screens.
Gaming capabilities:
According to the general assessment of the LG EA93 had to prove in the first-person shooter Battlefield 3. ALL TOP! It can be recognized no streaks. The monitor should therefore have sufficient reaction time.
The gaming experience with the aspect ratio of 21: 9 is a real beauty!
Movies:
Footage is also shown perfectly. Full HD or 4K test videos will be played clean.
Movies in 21: 9 format are automatically played as such at the VLC Player. There is thus no manual cropping in the video settings needed. If desired, the aspect ratio set in the monitor menu.
Conclusion: The LG EA 93 screen is certainly a high-quality 29 "monitor that will satisfy even the most demanding PC users The. 21: 9 format is maybe not for everyone, I welcome the fact, however, very much and do not want to change my opinion. , the LG is an "all-rounder", the almost completely meets my needs! The built-in speakers I currently not in use because my PC is connected to a stereo sound system. I could have done without the speaker for a price reduction and more compact dimensions. For nearly 600 of the LG 93 EA is not exactly a bargain, but justified for the performance offered, the design and exclusivity, definitely.
