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

As a Mac user, the LG 49" Curved Ultrawide exceeded my expectations! I've read many reviews and watched several YouTube videos about the LG 49" monitor user experience. I waited about 4 weeks before finally deciding to buy, knowing that there could be potential limitations that Mac OS might encounter My specs: - Mac Mini (2018): Catalina 10.15. Vega 56 (8GB) The key to my successful Mac experience - 49" LG Ultrawide monitor (primary monitor) connected via DisplayPort from my eGPU - LG 27" 5K…

I wish this monitor had a more curved shape, but it works great with my Mac via USB-C. I've spent about 2 weeks with the AOC AGON 49" Curved Gaming Monitor (AG493UCX) and I think they have the right curvature in terms of what brings the image to the periphery. Compared to this monitor, it's significantly smaller, but that's the only downside I've been able to find so far Pros: USB-C delivers flawless 5120 x 1440 output on my MacBook Pro (13" 2019, four Thunderbolt 3 ports). I can't find another

Good news first: The display quality is as expected. I *didn't* expect this to be a 4K monitor, and I didn't expect it to be a great gaming monitor with a very fast refresh rate and response time. I expected it to look great and be a good performance monitor when running at its native 5120 x 1440 resolution and it exceeded my expectations. I also expected to be able to split the screen into 2, 4 and 8 squares and have apps pinned in those squares and this feature works very well. I also…

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…

I work from home and multitask to the max. I usually need working conference management software, Outlook for email, Skype for instant messaging, some Excel/Word documents and an open web browser to get help. All at the same time. Both of my 23-inch IPS monitors worked great for a few years, but when I saw this I knew I needed one. It takes some time to get used to such a screen. I've almost always worked with windows maximized to fill. Monitor. If you do that with this thing, you're wasting a…

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

If you want to use the full resolution potential of this display, you cannot use an HDMI cable. So if you're using a Macbook Pro like me, you should go with USB-C, which is ideal anyway. HOWEVER, as another reviewer noted (didn't see the review before buying), there is an issue with USB-C and Macbook: the display randomly turns off and on again. While this is annoying in itself, it messes up my currently open windows by forcing me to reposition them. VERDICT: If you are a Macbook user, DO NOT…

I needed a monitor surface this size for both work and play. All other 5120x1440 displays are sold out thanks to Covid so I went with this one which is currently the most expensive. Big mistake. First of all about the good. This is a great monitor. It's a nice IPS screen. It's extremely aesthetic, better than the Samsung CRG9 that it replaced. The colors are very bright. Watching movies about this thing is something worth paying attention to. Unfortunately, it's also a 60Hz panel with a 5ms…

I got this monitor with a maxed out 2018 MacBook Pro with a 2TB drive. It was easy to assemble. When I plugged in the included USB-C cable, it worked straight away at native full resolution. No dead pixels, I think the colors are very good, I won't be using it for gaming so I can't comment on the 60Hz refresh rate, although I seem to notice it in some videos. The right edge of the monitor will darken about 2 inches like having a vertical shadow. It's not too strong or very noticeable, maybe it…

I bought this monitor mainly to be able to switch between PC and MacBook Pro with the same keyboard (only one keyboard, two mice don't bother me). My settings: PC connected via Displayport and MBP via USB-C. The PC is something like Alienware, while the Mac is the 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro. Keyboard and mouse sharing is done through software called Dual Controller (provided by LG). When I first installed the dual controller on the MBP, it seemed to me that the language was set incorrectly and…

I've been using this monitor with my MacBook Pro for 2 years. It was expensive, but it's an amazing and versatile monitor. I have a few complaints - like the lack of software controls for brightness or volume. Sometimes it can be a little tiring to have to turn your head from side to side to see the entire screen of information. In online meetings, I have to be careful not to broadcast a screen that is too big/long/tall for the viewers. But these are trifles - a great monitor. I've never used…

I am using this monitor with a 2020 13" MBP connected via USB-CI, previously had 2 24" monitors connected. The amount of free space as a result of the changes is impressive, and my desk looks a lot cleaner and more organized. Because you can crop windows however you like, you get a lot more usable space than traditional monitors. I don't do video editing or anything like that, I bought this monitor as my monitor for my daily work because I'm obsessed with multitasking and need to keep a few…

Bought this for my wife for her birthday. She plays at night and works hard with accounting software and spreadsheets during the day. I'm deducting a star due to poor documentation, which is why we're asking for your support. Support was good and told us they didn't have all the documentation because it was new. We bought it within the first month it was available. They call it 5K, but it's actually 2K Ultra-Wide, the equivalent of three 27-inch 2K monitors side by side. They helped us set it…

People buy a lot of Mac dongles and adapters, but with a single USB-C connection, I can not only charge my Mac, but also use the various USB ports built into the display. This is a display as well as a charger and adapter. My old MacBook Air ran with two displays and this caused one of the monitors to turn off intermittently. I know some people have this problem, but it's not because of the monitor, it's because the MBA doesn't support dual monitor display. You can check this by looking for…

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

That's cool. Delivery is very fast and great box for protection. This is beyond what I think. Image quality is awesome. I use Mac Pro. No problem with the setting. The screen is heavy - I installed it myself but I recommend 2 people. I've been enjoying this product ever since.
