LG 49WQ95C 49-Inch FreeSyncTM Monitor, 5120X1440, Black Stabilizer, On Screen Control, Color Calibrated, ‎49WQ95C-W.AUS, HD, HDMI Review

I bought the monitor because I always have at least 6-8 windows open at the same time and switching back and forth between them is tedious on smaller devices. The picture is great but make sure it works with your old computer. You must use USB C to get the best picture. Had to drop my fully loaded Mac Pro as it only has HDMI plugged in and that resolution sucks on this monitor. Works so far on my Macbook Pro (2018) and it was a good reason to get a new Mac Studio. The connection was painless, I

I love using this monitor for work and being able to open and see multiple different windows at the same time. This replaced 2 27" monitors. I couldn't look straight and had to turn my head left or right during the day which caused tension in the neck. The 5k picture quality is very clear. The colors look fantastic. I don't use network blocking software and I don't use any software to use your peripherals between two devices. Instead I use a KVM switch. My only complaint is that switching…

I had this monitor for about 2 hours playing a game and watching videos on youtube when the monitor turned off for no reason never to turn on again. I've tried unplugging and plugging the monitor back in, full range of troubleshooting. The only helpful advice from Google was to try reinstalling drivers and other stuff, which is only useful when the monitor is on but not working. The seller accepted the return for a refund (although no replacement? Must be a popular item) but still. I was so…

I plan to update my review as I've been using it for a year. Update: 1st week. Beautiful monitor works well with imac and macbook pro m1 2020. I use this monitor non-stop for research, study, coding and video editing. I really like this monitor. BUT I have noticed that the monitor flickers every now and then. I still don't understand what is causing this flickering. It's not a tragedy if the whole computer goes black, it noticeably dims the lights. I'll check the settings, so there shouldn't be

The monitor was great when it worked. The property is amazing. Going back to multiple monitors was incredibly painful. But I have to. In the image I provided, the monitor is on, but nothing is connected. The screen flickered and flickered like crazy. It started about 2 months after I received it. Revain's customer service and technical support has been excellent. LG - not so much. They were practically useless. They undertook to send the box in for repair - it never arrived. They promised RMA…

I bought this for my home office so I can manage multiple application windows without having to deal with the middle edge of my old dual monitor setup. It did everything I wanted for this scenario, I really like the continuous browsing.

It is wide enough to open 3 large windows side by side. Keeping track of timeouts and emails with a work-in-progress window will greatly improve productivity and your responsiveness. Of course, I would like the fonts to be a little more legible. but a retina-quality monitor of this size costs three times as much (and doesn't exist yet). The speakers on this thing are pretty good for zooms. Bass is solid. USB-C eliminates clutter with just one cable. I have no regrets that I bought it after a…

The main reason I bought this monitor was that I could split the screen so that I had a large window in the middle and two smaller windows on the sides. Before that, I had two 27-inch monitors side by side and was fed up with having to keep turning my head in all directions. This monitor allows me to work with my face straight for most of the day, which relieves my neck. However, I still split it into two windows when needed, so I'm looking left or right again. If I occasionally open a…

Wish you had 4090 because not all games have dlss. Either way. That is amazing. I had to order a stronger arm mount but that's it. There are no questions about the ad. Gsync works, great refresh rate, no dead pixels, picture quality is fantastic. Sold at an unbelievable price and the beach camera got caught. Now I remember them as a respected business and I will not hesitate to buy more from them. I'm actually looking for a good E-mount portrait lens, so I'll check out the rest of their stuff.

Disclaimer: I'm not a hardcore gamer. I'm a creative guy who needs a lot of viewing space. Coding with a single 23" monitor, on the other hand, was an amateur lesson. That's a breath of fresh air. Get ready to change your workflow and adapt to such a massive viewing space. According to other reviews, I also have a tall desk mount for mine Bought a 23" monitor and mounted it directly above to share the regular resolution screen. Didn't realize I'd need a second display at the top, but it's handy

I have a PC and a Mac and need a monitor that works on both. that does a great job with it. Any half of the screen works. and can easily split, slice and dice more, as well as control what uses audio. It's a great 'flexible' monitor that can be customized to suit your desired use. This is so cool that I'm thinking about putting another one on top of the current one.

For what it is this is a great monitor and a lot of people I know have and love it, but while it's 5k, which sounds like a lot, it's 5K over a huge range. So the picture quality of this 5K will be nowhere near the equivalent of a 27" Apple 5K display (which I also bought and returned -> can't dim the screen or control the monitor at all if you're using Windows like me) - so underm Bottom line: I bought two smaller 4K high-resolution screens, then you basically have 8K in the same range as…

I've been waiting to buy this monitor for over a year. Initially I was going to go for a different monitor but this one has an IPS panel so I was hoping for a better viewing experience. Right out of the box I noticed a row and column of bleached/dead pixels slowly turning into a full corner of dead pixels. The box and packaging were in pristine condition, there are no other signs of even slight damage to the monitor. I contacted Revain who then referred me to LG who informed me that my brand…

There has been quite a lot of misinformation about the differences between LG 49WL95C-WY and LG 49WL95C-WE and so on. One question I had was whether the WY variant had a built in power supply as well as built in speakers. I can confirm without a doubt that the WY variant has speakers and a built-in power supply. The monitor is still great! I believe that the difficulties that most people have with a monitor are not necessarily related to the monitor. Usually the problem is that the computer…

Bought as a monitor for work and play. I've been able to replace all my custom monitors with this one and it's amazing. so many jobs. I am advising and need to use the laptop provided so having a split screen for two inputs is great. 2 things to really look out for: 1) I have a new computer that I built with a 12th gen i7 and 3080ti, 64GB RAM. I can play Cyber Punk 2077 in full resolution 5120x1440 and the framerate never drops below 60 fps. Overwatch and Knockout City run at 144 fps 100% of…

I was a little apprehensive about running this on my Mac Mini M1, but set it up, plugged it in and it came up instantly in full resolution with no clutter (USB-C). BUT the picture quality does not meet my expectations. Coming from two 27" 5k monitors, I was very disappointed to find that the writing on the screen was REALLY jagged/rough. I am thinking of returning.

I'm not just disappointed, I'm very disappointed with LG in terms of how they are able to pledge this to actually sell it to customers. I know they found out about the US consumer base about 40 years ago and were selling products that were mostly inferior when they improved them. But its 49-inch monitor is disappointing. First, when you connect it to the USB-C cable for video - which shouldn't matter, but in my case it was with a Mac - warnings were displayed for the effects of using the…

The LG 49WQ95C is a great monitor for gaming and work. However, it is expensive for similar monitors, but with many disadvantages. So if you really need an ultra-wide display for professional work and color-critical gaming, look no further as this monitor will amaze you with the sheer amount of open windows that actually fit on the screen. The monitor stand is solid and offers good ergonomics, including up to 110mm of height adjustment, -5°/20° tilt, +/- 15° swivel and 100 x 100mm VESA mount…

The monitor began to flicker less than that year. The LG warranty takes a month to fix the problem. There is no substitute. I do not recommend.

Great big monitor but with flickering pixels. Tried cables, computers, inputs, etc. Came back. It's such a big box and such a hassle to set up that I'm a little disheartened, but if it weren't for that it would be 5 stars.
