LG49WQ95C-W 49 Inch 32:9 Curved UltraWide DQHD (5120 x 1440) Nano IPS Monitor, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible & AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, HDMI 2.1 & USB Type-C (90W PD), Tilt/Height/Swivel Adjustable

Never test it but I know it's worth it(mine arrive damage)

Egregiously large screen real estate. Too much? Maybe. Is it awesome? Yes it is... Upgraded from a 34 inch ultra wide to the largest I could get my hands on (and fit...). This 49 inch thing is a monster, but it's absolutely perfect for a home office set up. I use it for regular office type stuff, not much of a gamer etc etc. Was easy to set up (being driven with a new Mac Mini M4. No issues with display sleeping or resolution.

Plugged this into may Mac Studio and my old Hackintosh. Works flawlessly in both full screen and Picture-by-Picture modes. It was instantly recognized and my Mac put out the full 5120x1440 @ 144Hz flawlessly!The only detractors I can think of, is that there are no options to adjust volume without going into a menu, accessed by the little joystick nub controller on the rear. I would have loved a few quick access buttons along the underside in the center. Even better if the functions could be assigned. I was considering installing a pair of "side wings" on either side of the monitor, in the form of 3840x1100 pixel 14" mini-ultrawide displays, in portrait mode. I just like the idea of a few eeeextra pixels to have apps like Discord, Messages, Mail, etc on. Placing the controls exclusively at the side means controlling this monitor will be significantly more awkward, if I follow through with this idea.Even ignoring my weird setup ideas... just having to reach AAAAAAALL the way around this GLORIOUS 4 FOOT WIDE BEHEMOTH, just to change settings is definitely the kind of first world problems I don't mind having. Honestly, is it so hard to have some easily accessible buttons though? Only the mot minor complaint against a bevy of satisfaction and excitement over my new monitor!Have not tried the KVM functionality yet. Maybe I can append this after I have my PC set up on it too.

I got this LG 49” monitor about 7 months ago. Initially, I was pretty happy with the purchase except for a few things such as not having a remote control, having very limited ports, and the screen being barely curved (kind of difficult to use for work because it is mostly flat). Other than those things, I was pretty satisfied with my purchase… up until now.Out of nowhere, the monitor just completely stopped working. I was just sitting at my desk doing work and “poof” the screen was completely out. At first it acted as if it was glitching but a few minutes later it completely fried. I contacted customer support from LG through Amazon and they said there is not really much they can do. They told me they can try to repair, and I will have to ship this massive 49” inch back to them, but if the shipment gets damaged along the way they would not be able to help.Luckily, I had purchased additional coverage through Asurion (the team was fantastic) and they will cover this damage with a replacement since it is not fixable. If it wasn’t for them, I would be at a complete loss.If you are spending this much money on a monitor, go with another brand. LG is not a good option. A product at this price should not last 7 months.If you decide to purchase this product, keep the box. You might need it when your monitor goes out too.

Curved displays have a curvature measurement, something like 1000R or 1500R which indicates how tight the curvature is. A 1000R for example would be a perfect curvature for someone sitting 1 Meter (3.28ft) away to have the same distance from themself to the entire monitor, a 1500R is 1.5 meters, etc. This is really important for ultrawides when youre trying to use them for work because it can be fatiguing to continually adjust your depth of field.When i was shopping between monitors i looked at this, the LG 49GR85DC, and the samsung G9. I decided on this LG because it was not a "gaming monitor" and i read reviews that stated text was clear. Nowhere on the amazon listing or the manufacturers page does it list the curvature, and i assumed it would be the same as the other LG, well i unboxed it and found its 3800R, you read that right, the sweet spot for the curve is 3.8 meters away.From my normal seating position its 33" from my chest to the center of the screen, to either side that measurement goes to 41". this makes the left and right sides really fatiguing to use. I came from a 35" that was an 1800R which is usable, 1000R is actually pretty ideal.Otherwise, the packaging was great, the color and text is great, the build quality seems great, i had no issues with getting it connected and up and running. Im returning it for the LG 49GR85DC, and im hoping that one works better. I could see this being a viable option for a use case where someone is further away from the screen, like a security panel, but not for normal day to dat office tasks.

For my work I typically need to have 3-4 different documents open. I have been using 2 1080p 21" monitors. I also have my personal laptop connected to 2 monitors. So my desk has a total of 4 monitors sitting on it, but never require all 4 monitors at the same time. The set up seemed very cluttered. After purchasing this 49" ultrawide, I only require 1 monitor. My desk appears so much cleaner and clutter free. I love the picture by picture feature. I have my personal laptop and my work laptop connected. During normal work hours, my work laptop used 2/3 of the screen with my personal laptop taking up 1/3. When I am working on personal projects, I swith the mode and then my personal laptop takes up the entire screen. For me, it was a great purchase. The picture seems so much sharper and more vibrant than my previous VA panel monitors. The built in speakers are decent. They get the job done for Zoom calls and youtube videos. I wouldn't want to watch a movie with them.
