The monitor has a strip of pixels

There is a pixel line on the monitor that doesn't go away. There was a problem connecting to the Mac and the monitor often showed up with non-default settings. The line is a big problem that even a reboot doesn't solve!

After a week of use, the whole monitor started flickering

Connected to an M1 MacBook Pro with the included USB-C cable and the monitor keeps flickering after a week of working great. I've tried everything in settings, rebooting, etc. LG does not offer support due to Covid (obviously unlike any other company they can let agents chat in their support system 'due to Covid'). Unfortunately, I'll have to return this and spend four times as much on an Apple XDR if I want a decent, high-resolution, big screen.

It was great at first, but dead pixels quickly appeared.

It took about 3 days for a "line" of dead pixels to appear. Sent it back for a refund. Used with 2019 15" MacBook Pro, from TB3 to CalDigit TB3 Dock. At full 5k2k resolution (no upscaling) it looked pretty good. I would definitely enjoy using it if it weren't for the dead pixels .

I had cataract surgery and my cornea is deteriorating. I find it MUCH easier to read the screen on this monitor than on my previous widescreen HD monitor.

Do not buy this monitor if you want plain text

This monitor has an anti-glare coating that is stronger than the 5k monitor. If you're in a bright room and don't mind your text being blurry, this is a great monitor. The problem is that I'm in a bright room and I'm working on code 12-16 hours a day. I removed the anti-glare coating from my previous 4k monitor and the clarity on it is just outstanding! You would expect an MSRP of $1400 to do better. If you just want a nice picture, this monitor will do, but it's overpriced.

What benefits does LG 34WK95U W 34 Class UltraWide 5120x2160p 21:9 Monitor offer?
  • 5120 x 2160 resolution, 60 Hz refresh rate, 5 ms response time (GtG), Thunderbolt 3 / HDMI / DisplayPort 1.4 / USB Type C inputs, integrated speakers, ultra-thin frame for a slim and elegant design
What are the downsides to using LG 34WK95U W 34 Class UltraWide 5120x2160p 21:9 Monitor?
  • Dead Pixels: These are defective pixels that remain black or glow solid on the display.

A whole new world in my head

The upgraded ultra wide is 1440p and the sharpness is stunning. Almost as good as for media creation. The curved panel gives you an immersive experience.

Very good. Outstanding service.

It takes about two weeks between purchase and shipping. The transport was very fast (4 days of international transport). It's an expensive device, but it works perfectly, with decent brightness and resolution.

Great monitor, looks like it has been used and damaged before

Item arrived used (not new) with a damaged dent in the corner. Otherwise it seems to be a solid monitor. Will return. Thanks for attention.

Burns very easily

The picture on this monitor is beautiful and the colors are accurate. However, if you leave the window open for 5 minutes without moving it, the image will be burned into the screen. This is very annoying and sometimes distracting.

Works great with Macbook Pro M1 and Mac Studio.

No complaints. No scaling issues on Mac computers. The wide screen makes video and audio editing so user-friendly as there is space on each panel. No clipping or dead zones as it's 5k and correctly scaled by a Mac.

Sold as "Condition & Packaging: New Open Box ", which may be true...

... the original packaging was not protected by the shipping carton and the carton looked quite crumpled before shipping, the inner foam packaging was broken and damaged. Colour, but the matte anti-reflective coating was completely scratched, from side to side, and in some places the anti-reflective coating was scratched!

Ideal for MacBook Pro

A stunning monitor that delivers the same quality as a Macbook Retina display in a wide form factor. Connected to my 13" Macbook Pro with the included USB-C cable and it was recognized immediately. There were no issues with waking from sleep mode or anything else. To get the maximum resolution you need to go to System Preferences > Display > and then hold down the Option key while selecting Scaled. This opens the option to select the highest resolution. It worked for me the first time.

Doesn't work with Macs

Terrible product doesn't work with new Macs on USB-C. Even after software and driver updates, LG's support isn't great. I'm still waiting for the tag on a deal. I assume that I have to pay the return shipping costs and other fees. Do not buy. It doesn't work as advertised with Mac

Great monitor for coding!

This monitor is wide and has more than enough horizontal pixels (5120). It can easily accommodate multiple open windows on the same screen. Great coding monitor: write code on one side and read link on the other side.

went to hell in a month

worked fine with the new imac mini for about a month. I left it unattended and turned it on for about an hour. When I arrived I returned and the image of open windows was burned onto the screen. From then on everything went downhill. Colors bleed through and the display bleeds through. Very disappointing after spending $1300!

Decent monitor for SDR with no color adjustment in HDR

The monitor is decent, but the uniformity had a slight splatter around the edges. In Windows HDR mode, colors are not adjusted under any settings, and it turned out to be too blue. I expected the speakers to be average but they were really bad, very harsh. Rich
