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

Build quality and image quality are top notch. However, the inputs are the most disappointing thing about this monitor. One USB-C, one DisplayPort and two. TWO. HDMI. Why is it so important? Since the frame rate is limited to 30 frames per second via HDMI, this makes the input almost unusable. So you're really limited to USB-C and Displayport. But this is where it gets more complicated! This monitor cannot be treated as two screens through one input; You need two separate cables going from your machine to the screen. And as I mentioned above, there are only two usable inputs: 1x USB-C and 1x Displayport. If you want to use the USB ports on the monitor, you MUST connect USB-C to USB-C. However, when docking via USB-C, my screen regularly goes black, suspecting too much information is traversing that limited bandwidth (USB connections, power, and image). If I'm trying to work around this, I'll have to buy a separate docking station with dual DisplayPort outputs and use a DisplayPort to USB-C cable, rendering the USB ports on the monitor unusable. So I've made peace with that. Use this monitor alone as a single screen via the Displayport input, and the USB-C connector is for power and USB ports only. Using this monitor as a single screen is very annoying. Screen sharing with other people at work makes the content on my screen tiny because the entire area of my monitor is reduced to fit their screens. By snapping windows to the edge of the screen, the application takes up a full half of the screen, which in this case is the size of a full monitor. In short, this thing REALLY shines when you use two inputs to make it work like two. Monitors in one, but the limited number of inputs (two damn HDMIs, right?) makes that almost impossible.
