Question 1

Can it be dismounted from the base?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are able to remove it from the stand and mount it to a Vesa Desk mount. That is how i currently have mine.

Question 2

Just to confirm this monitor does NOT have a USB A or B input, correct?

Accepted Answer

Hello there, Thank you for contacting us with your question. The LG 29UB55-B is not listed or pictured to come with a USB port on the manufacturer specifications. It does also contain an audio in and out. The manufacturer specifications will be linked below as a reference. https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-29UB55-B Hope this helps, -Newegg Support

Question 3

I'm considering getting two, but the first hasn't arrive yet.  I'm guessing the actual screen size is about 12.5x27 inches?  Could someone confirm this for me, as I need to figure ouit which VESA stand to get - Thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

I get 26.5 x 11.25 Corner to corner is 28.5..

Question 4

My laptop only has hdmi and vga, I know that this monitor doesn't have a vga port but i was wondering if i would be able to get 2560 x 1080p out of an hdmi connection? Or would I be limited to 1920 x 1080p when using my laptop with this monitor.

Accepted Answer

You'll get 2560x1080p. I do. Also, I'm pretty sure you'd wanna choose HDMI over VGA. VGA is analog and quality could depend on the cord. HDMI is digital and does not depend on cord quality; it also carries audio so the the monitor will play your audio. It isn't the best but I'd bet its better than built in laptop speakers.

Question 5

Does this monitor have split screen capability? The one I know of splits into 2,3 or 4 screens.

Accepted Answer

It can split 50/50 between two inputs. There is also software to mimic screen splitting on a computer, but it's not true screen splitting, just areas where various windows can maximize as if the screen were split.

Question 6

Is this VESA mount compatible? If so, is it 75x75 or 100x100?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is VESA mount compatible. It uses a 75x75mm mount.

Question 7

Is this a good gaming monitor?

Accepted Answer

The 21:9 ratio is very nice if the game supports it, the brightness is fine in all but the sunniest locations, 5 ms is great for all the games I play, color is PERFECT.  I do not have a GPU that will do > 50 fps so the refresh rate is fine.  For my money, it is a dream.

Question 8

Can somebody check if it has white line right end of screen?
I have vertical white line on the right when i test dead pixel from 
youtubue?

Stuck Pixel Fixer - 2560x1080 HD

Accepted Answer

I've purchased about 8 and none have such line, sounds defective to me.

Question 9

Please don't laugh, but I'm still using a Radeon R9 290 . Will this graphics card have enough juice to game with this monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes it should it depends on the game though really and if you want to use the full resolution I'm using dvi and you need a dvi-d dvi cable there is a difference I did not no that at first it's a great monitor though I love it

Question 10
