Hi everyone,

In this post, I’ll show you my unboxing of my brand-new monitor, the LG 29UM68-P UltraWide IPS Monitor.

My main reason to get this monitor is related to productivity, as I like to use a lot of windows at a time and this monitor is actually the one I have at my work. It’s really a game changer when it comes to multitasking, as I can now place a window at a side and see all of the content while working on other stuff. Previously, with my standard 1080p monitor, I was feeling disconforted as I was switching between windows a lot.

Now, I’ll use this monitor as my main, and the 1080p for additional stuff, placing windows side by side so that I can work with more stuff at a time.

So, let’s get started!!!!

The box

The following are the front and two of the sides:

Inside the box

When we open the box, we see that it seems to have eveything well protected:

It had a piece of paper letting us know how to handle the contents:

After removing the first piece, we see the monitor behind:

After removing the LCD monitor, we see the other protecting foam:

After removing the protecting foam, we see the monitor base, stand, and cable contents:

Taking a closer look at the bag where the cables, software, and some papers are:

Taking everything off the bag, we can see the cables, papers, and screws to mount the base to the monitor:

Let’s install the monitor stand!

The first step is to install this part of the stand:

And that’s it!

Now, we’ll connect the cables:

The power cable on the back of the monitor:

And plug-in the power cord to the transformer:

On the monitor:

On the laptop:

And It works!

And it looks gorgeous:

We can see this monitor has a resolution of 2560×1080:

Yup!

It’s just perfect for multitasking!

The final setup:

You can see the LG monitor is at the left, while the standard 1080p monitor is at the right. I really like this environment this way and I really look forward into improving my productivity:

The monitor didn’t came with a DisplayPort cable, so I had to order it. We will see this cable in a later post.

You can get this monitor on Amazon here.

Hope you enjoyed this unboxing and the pictures!
