Nice summary there!
Which LG 29" monitor did you come from, I currently have the 29um65 and it is pretty spot on in the whole
How do you find the overall quality compared to the LG 29" i.e.
- blacks/contrast ratio, these 29" monitors from LG have always been great here with contrast ratio being about 1300/1500:1 depending on the panel
- sharpness/coating, is the heavier finish noticeable? i.e. does it reduce the "pop" of the screen
- motion compared to the LG 29", I imagine it should be noticeably better given 60 vs 120/144hz....
My old monitor's the 29WK600
- contrast is about the same to be honest. On both monitors the blacks look black with the lights on and grey with the lights off
- like I said, for me personally it's not a problem. Colours look better on the iiyama, but my old monitor wasn't a native 8bit display
- my old monitor is 75Hz and the iiyama looks much better in motion. Just moving the mouse or scrolling in a browser feels way smoother. You notice the difference especially after going back, once used to the faster monitor
