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

Conclusion: No problem for me. Multitasking paradise. High quality screen resolution and easy setup. Stop searching and just buy it! This review focuses on the 49-inch LG 49WL95C-W. You can read the specs anywhere, but this is a review for the person who works from home and wants to know in plain language if this is a great monitor. Answer: YES! Easy Setup: This monitor is perfect for Macbook Pro users like me. The monitor came with a USB-C cable (among many other cable types). Connecting the stand from the box and installing the monitor on it was not difficult. Then it's literally two cables: one to power the monitor in the wall, and then USB-C to connect the laptop. (The monitor charges your laptop). After reading that some users were experiencing screen flickering/dimming issues during my research, I was confident that I would head straight to the LG support site to download firmware updates. I've had it for a week now and haven't had a single problem. Don't be put off by negative reviews. The last step was adjusting the screen resolution in my laptop's system settings, after which everything looked even better than I expected. The monitor itself gives you some settings for further adjustment, but I spent the minimal amount of time on it. It's just a small button on the back right. very easy to use. The whole process from opening the box to fully plugging in and running took only a few minutes and I found it easy and I think most others did too. High-quality screen resolution: For me, a screen resolution of 5120 x 1440 offers very similar image quality to my laptop display. It's obviously unrealistic that it looks better than a laptop considering there's a lot more room to work in, but I'm VERY happy with the quality. I can watch 4k YouTube videos and I think it looks amazing. The text is also clear. The resolution is just what 99% of people will ever need for work, web surfing or other normal productivity tasks. To organize your windows, LG OnScreen Control (which you can download from LG's website) lets you split the screen in a variety of ways. I like to use a 3 screen split, but you can split it into 8 screens. I know people are talking about third-party software to better customize split screen, but I haven't tried that. I like splitting the screen into thirds vertically. So each of the 3 screens is slightly larger than my 15 inch laptop screen size and I have 3 windows side by side and they all look amazing. Easily switch between layouts and move windows around. It just solves so many annoying problems I had when arranging windows in a row. No longer! Sound: The monitor itself has speakers and a headphone jack. Audiophiles probably won't drool, but I think it sounds decent. I would still prioritize my 2018 Macbook Pro speakers, but I use headphones most of the time anyway. Just buy separate speakers if high sound quality is very important to you. Conclusion: I bought this monitor because I work from home as a software developer and need to multitask with several programs visible at the same time. It is absolutely everything I hoped for and more! The screen is big and wide, but not too big. The quality is excellent, I have no questions. No dead pixels, no flickering or dimming issues. Working from home is now much more convenient and enjoyable, and that's the main thing. I imagine this would be an ideal monitor for stock traders who want to analyze multiple charts at the same time. I'm not a gamer so can't comment on the refresh rate, but for work or regular web use 60Hz is definitely all you need. If you can afford it, do it! This monitor is of high quality and I am very happy with my purchase. My girlfriend jokes that I won't spend as much time with her in the evenings because of this thing. Haha, she's not entirely wrong.
