Am I missing something?

Edit: The screen is dark in most modes, but I have it in a mode where it looks fine now. Very happy with it. I have an Alienware 38 dw21 on it and this screen is a bit bigger/better. I like using it with my new MacBook, but why is the screen so dark? I'm switching from a similar monitor but the picture was much better/brighter. I connected it to the lightning cable that came with the kit. The screen is very dim when I've missed something. rise

Great monitor for productivity

I use the monitor for productivity, data analysis and coding on my MacBook Pro. Text and image quality is good. Not as good as the internal display on my Mac, but it's a big step up from the 34-inch ultra-wide monitor it replaced. And now I can place three windows side by side, which is excellent. 300 nits) and wish it had more built-in USB ports.

Decent display with one fatal flaw

Bought primarily for production. Clarity and colors were good (quite good actually). The wide display was the perfect size - bigger than the 34-inch displays that lose height, not the 49-inch behemoths that are too wide for my use. The fatal error that made me come back is the same that others have experienced. Flickering that ranges from a subtle "not visible when looking directly" to "an epileptic seizure that makes the entire screen pulsate". Thunderbolt 4, Displayport 1.4 didn't matter…

Great work monitor!

This monitor is perfect for my needs! This is a lightweight ultrawide monitor with Thunderbolt 4 and plenty of ports. It supports frame-by-frame and allows for easy switching between inputs. It's a 5kx2k resolution display, so you can fit a ton on your desktop and work on 5k content at the same time. However, it's limited to a 72Hz refresh rate, making it less than ideal for gaming. You can play it, but it might not be as smooth as you'd like or expect. The price got me thinking and I sat in my

I wanted to hate it but I LOVE IT!

I took a risk but with free returns I decided to give it a try. I wanted to hate it and return it, it's expensive. I love it! Text is crisp, color is great, yes the brightness is a bit lower than I was hoping for from what I read in another review but I'm used to it. Be sure to disable "SMART POWER SAVE" as it will automatically dim the screen when enabled. Great monitor, replaced my 32" LG with this one (32" moved elsewhere). Highly recommend if you can afford it!

could barely see the screen

The product looks great; However, for $1900, the screen should be sharper. Very disappointed sorry LG. The previous reason for the internal fan noise was automatically displayed. It works as quietly as a mouse, but the screen is not visible.

The best screen in my rating.

I don't use it for gaming just for office work, great size, the curvature helps a lot with visibility in corners. Definitely a worthy upgrade. The sound is surprisingly good.

Good clarity and brightness

The LG 40W delivers what it promises. The display is brighter than I thought it would be and a solid DPI. I have three devices connected to it and it's easy to switch between them.

Big, bright and oily!

When I first connected to a Mac Pro via DisplayPort, the monitor was unacceptably dark at 100% and I didn't see a way to increase the brightness. Some wrote that the power saving mode should be turned off, but I did not see such a setting in the monitor menu. and I started preparing for the return of the display. I then connected my MacBook Pro (M1 Max) via Thunderbolt. and WOW! Even at the factory setting of 70% it's too bright. Windows moves smoothly at 72Hz, a very significant improvement…

Terrible afterimage and flickering

Before buying this monitor, I studied quite a few reviews. I was aware of some reviews mentioning afterimages but thought it might not be that bad based on my experience with previous LG monitors. However, I was wrong. I connected the monitor to a 14" MacBook Pro and initially everything was great. However, after only two hours the screen started to flicker and showed a clear afterimage. To make sure that the ghosting was not related to the computer, I used the Computer unplugged but the…

Productivity Killer is the best in my rating

This has increased my productivity enormously. I'm a data analyst. I can easily code and take notes on the same screen, and also opened a web page to check other things.

Very disappointed, bad screen monitor delivered

I was really excited to get this brand new monitor but was very disappointed after unboxing and installing it. The monitor arrived with a damaged screen, although the box it came in was undamaged. I have since returned the monitor and am considering ordering another one, but I am suspicious of LG's quality control, which allows the product to leave the factory in this condition. Condition.

Not so good in my rating so far

I chose this monitor because of the good reviews. I even paid $80 for expedited shipping as I needed it before the event. I have a new MBP 16 inch with Thunderbolt 4. Out of the box, the monitor doesn't work with your cable or my other cables. I have another 27 inch monitor, MBP works fine over Thunderbolt. I can only get this monitor to work via HDMI. Contacted LG support who said I just had to send it back. Well Revain is here because they are not sellers, the only option I have is a refund…

Great programming board

Almost, but not bought through Revain. As a programmer, you need height (15 inches for that), but not too much. You need a curved monitor because changes in depth of field are distracting. You need a width (36 inches for that) but not too much. (Double 32" is too wide and changes the depth of field.) This is the best I've found.

Fantastic representation! in my rating

In my opinion, this display is currently the best option on the market for a wide range of users, but especially for Mac owners. The display is large, bright, clear, works perfectly. Love the design with the white back and detachable power cord! (NOT a bad PSU) Nice and functional stand, but can also be mounted out of the VESA box! This display gets an A+ for me in many areas. I really like the controls which are very easy to use and understand with the joystick located at the bottom center of…

Works well for me based on my rating.

This monitor is currently connected to a Mac Studio via Thunderbolt and a PC via DisplayPort and works well for both. It's not a gaming monitor at just 72Hz and only 300 nits, it doesn't work well with HDR if at all, but for performance and general use I think it's great. So far no problems or complaints.

When you pick a screen for Mac Studio, you've found it!

This is exactly what I was hoping for from the display, I use Windows for my daily work, for everything else I use my Mac (Studio) and in both cases the screen quality is fantastic. I ordered an Apple Studio Display but spotted this LG on Youtube, I decided to cancel my Apple order and take a chance with this monitor, I'm so glad I did. There's less clutter on my desk, I'm more productive in my day-to-day work, and I now have more space for apps as I use my Mac for a variety of purposes.

Picture is great, but no volume control for built-in speakers on Mac

I like the display itself, but I can't use the built-in speakers as there's no way to control the volume through the Mac. You can control the volume with the joystick on the bottom of the monitor, but that's very inconvenient. So I still use external speakers. Which is a shame because the sound quality from the built-in speakers seems to be pretty good.

40 inch 5K resolution is simply unbeatable!

I had a previous LG 5k/2k monitor that I liked but I need full resolution and I often find myself squinting to see the full resolution of the monitor, this solves the problem. I can't recommend it more highly! If you have room for a 40 inch monitor, that's a game changer, and in my case for stock and options trading, it's a game changer. Buy it and you won't be disappointed. PS I am not sponsored by any company (would love to be) but this is my honest review.
