Review on LG 49WL95C-W 49-Inch Curved Ultrawide 5120x1440p Monitor with Tilt and Height Adjustment by Brandon Philemon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What's not to love?

I used to have 3 Samsung 27" monitors and 1 was near death, the last one taking 30 minutes. No it wasn't the graphics card, that's a known problem! I had another computer with an old 24" Dell , which was suffering from old age. A 27" went down this route and I decided it was time for an upgrade, which also forced me to buy a thicker graphics card. Sounds like punishment isn't so bad, right? Spend big or go home. I got an Asus GTX 1660. After setting everything up this monitor is really great as is the 4 star great but the speakers suck. I will be connecting my Creative Labs soon. It's bright and the colors are amazing. I turned the brightness down because I suffer from migraines and prefer a little more darkness. Sick leave is not an option (I own the company). I write computer software for a living and I love that there are no boxes in the middle right now! I might choose to put my other 27-inch Samsung aside for my security system, but I'm trying to decide what I REALLY need for the day since I've lost a bit of screen real estate. That's about 2.5 from what I had. I do not play. I can't report it. I have more desk space because I have 1 monitor instead of 3. Spreadsheets are awesome. I can open multiple Word/PDF/spreadsheet files at the same time and don't have to blink. Productivity has increased. I keep Microsoft Teams visible in the top left corner to keep in touch with my team as we all work from home. Everything important is front and center. My wife says the screen is busy. I just told her not to worry. The text is very legible. That was my biggest problem and it's not a problem. The speakers just aren't loud enough and are dull. Good. That's my 1 star along with the fact that the frame is black and the back is white.
