Ditch the dual widescreen for ultrawide screen performance

Before buying the 49" I had two 27" in use. There's no comparison to the difference in usable screen real estate on a 49-inch screen. I usually use 6 sections, 2 of which are full page and 4 half page. My only issue was that every time I resume Windows 10 in my browsers/apps, they randomly swap out. I don't know why this is happening or if it can be fixed, but I'm just moving them back to the resume.

Great monitor, but with a problem

Everything is fine, but regularly turns off for a few seconds. I've already tried it on my two laptops and disabled hibernation, but no luck, the problem still occurs. I'm not sure how to fix this. I've had this problem for a few weeks

Great monitor but problems

I love this monitor, it will probably come back because it randomly turns off for 10-15 seconds. I called support and switched computers but still the same problem.

An impressive ultra-wide monitor, but not the best in any area.

As far as I know, this is the world's first 49-inch ultra-wide 144Hz IPS panel. Monitors in this range tend to be VA panels, and in my opinion, as well as in the opinion of many other people, IPS is VA -Panels superior. You get much better colors, but the downside is that IPS doesn't get as bright as VA panels, so things like HDR aren't as intense. For me, the compromise is worth it. The easiest way I can describe the experience of using this monitor is having two 27 inch monitors side by side,

it's a shame it's broken

The monitor looked fantastic! Too bad the screen continued to flicker even after troubleshooting. Returned…. Thanks for attention.

Met expectations!

It took me a hot minute to get used to this monitor, but I did it and I love it. That's my feedback! It's thin and sleek for such a large monitor.

Good monitor, but there are design flaws

When using this monitor with a stand, it will not lay flat on a table. I can slip my finger under the back of the stand. The top bezel is also wavy across the entire monitor.

Great monitor! to my rating.

This device is designed for professional work, not for gaming! Find out what you are purcgadi for. We never play games. To do this, you need a block with a refresh rate of 120 or higher. Not in this block. 60 refresh rate only. Love how they moved the control buttons to the right instead of down so you can buy a second monitor and stack them on top of each other with no gap. Super happy with this purchase!

A real beast for any multimedia post-production artist

Not for gaming for those looking for gaming monitors. You can connect a PlayStation/Xbox, etc., but the picture will be stretched if you want to play it in Ultra Wide. You can change it to 4:3 and it looks fine but you have black borders on the sides. PC games may vary, I haven't tested them, I will update this review. Also, editing or any type of computer work on this monitor is an absolute beast.

It turns off randomly

The first week I got a blank screen for a few seconds, it's really annoying, I plugged in speakers, the audio cuts out while seeing a blank screen.

Just amazing in my rating.

I've been debating for a month whether I'll buy this or install multiple screens, but I'm so glad I decided to go down this route instead. Just make sure you download the OnScreen Control app and it comes with everything you could want.

Ok but not great!

The curvature isn't that great for performance. I wish it was a bit more curved, just personal preference. I bought an LG 34 Ultragear and I have to say it's perfect! The 21:9 aspect ratio is also suitable for watching movies with an ideal aspect ratio.

Not worth the price

1500 and it's not built very well, it's very fragile, especially the screen, it's very soft, it's easy to break. That's my review!

Excellent monitor in my review

I love this monitor. I used to have 3 different monitors with different sizes and resolutions. This one replaced them all. I wish I had done that sooner. Excellent quality!

Worked fine for 6 months now dead pixels.

- Worked fine for 6 months, now some dead pixels - 60Hz max causes a slight headache when playing full screen - the back of this monitor is white with a pink stand. no idea who designed it that way and for what - IPS color matrix is much better than TN for color realism

The holes for connecting to the base have been moved. Cannot be assembled for use.

It could have been a good monitor but the holes for screwing the base to the monitor stand were misaligned. Returned due to this defect. There may be a manufacturing quality issue with this product. In my experience, LG products have been excellent. Very disappointing.
