    Expensive but Stunning (Decadent???)

    The image is big and amazing. Apart from that obvious comment, I'm thrilled with the added features. With T-bolt 4 a single cable powers my laptop and provides a data connection to the monitor eliminating the need for a docking station to connect mouse, keyboard, camera, etc. It's connected to an HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook and works perfectly extending the desktop.

    Great for MacBook Pro; glorious low refresh gaming

    To call this simply a monitor is like calling the Grand Canyon a hole in the ground. Its 40" of curved beauty is perfect for simultaneously displaying multiple open windows. I had been worried it would be too big, but I've quickly gotten used to the size and now wouldn't want anything smaller. I use this with a 2019 MacBook Pro and it displays marvelously while also acting as a superb docking station. I did have concerns that the low refresh rate wouldn't work well for gaming, but for the types of games I play (Civilization VI, Europa Universalis, Victoria 3, etc.) I haven't had any issues. Other games requiring higher refresh rates may get dicey, though. I also would recommend pairing this with Logitech's MX Keys Advanced wireless keyboard.

    This is a fantastic monitor. It will take some getting used to as you will need to adjust the icons at the higher resolutions. But you can see how beautiful it is... just wish my desk was as clean looking.

    Fantastic Display!!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This display is in my opinion the best option on the market right now for a lot of different types of users, but especially for mac owners. The display is large, bright, clear and works flawlessly. I really like the design with the white back, a detachable power cord! (NOT a horrible power brick) beautiful and functional stand but it's also out of the box VESA mountable! This display gets an A+ in a lot of areas for me. I really like the controls which are very easy to engage with and understand using the joystick that is in the middle of the display at the bottom. I also appreciate the designers giving the option to enable or disable the power LED on the display but I especially like that it's positioned on the bottom of the display and shines downward - it's not on the front of the display to shine in your face. This is an attention to detail that shows just how much thought was put into the design of this display. Ports galore! Thunderbolt 4 for the display, and if your device supports it there's a 2nd Thunderbolt port that will allow you to daisy chain a second display, DisplayPort, 2 HDMI ports. There are 2 USB Ports that are on the right side of the display (another attention to detail that I appreciate). The refresh rate is 72Hz (a bit better than the 60Hz on most monitors), Color is spot on. I work from home and this is my everything display! Plenty of room for spreadsheets, 300nits of brightness for photo editing and a wide screen movie fits the screen beautifully with the 21:9 aspect ratio. I think the price point is really a good bargain for everything that you get in this display.

    Works great with M1 Pro 2021 16" MacBook Pro

    I originally bought the 38" 38wn95c and it worked with the 2021 macbook pro m1 pro 16" with all the scalening options available, however the low resolution text didnt agree with my eyes. So i returned and got this 40" 5k2k and wow the text and resolution is as clear as a 5k imac and yes all the scaling options are available for the macbook pro 2021 m1 pro. I am so glad I got this monitor! Its expensive especially since the 38" is currently on sale for 350.00 off but for someone who likes to read this higher resolution monitor was a no-brainer even at 800 more price!

    This monitor is bright, has wide viewing angles, and very accurate colors. It's big enough to put a full IDE and display a full page in a web browser, or a full width terminal. You can also fit 3 word docs side by side. Note that HDMI will not be able to drive the display at full resolution & refresh rate. Thankfully, both display port and Thunderbolt can, and having both makes this a nice display for those who have a personal PC but also want to connect a work laptop for work from home.

    I had been searching for an ultra-wide monitor for a while (there are a lot of options out there) and this monitor is amazing and meets all of my needs and expectations. I am not big on computer gaming so didn't need a gaming-focused monitor; this LG one is geared more towards folks looking for a good productivity monitor (or those working in the creative space). It is pretty sizable (so you will want to make sure your desk can accommodate it) and it is not the brightest monitor (but its not bad - I would say average on the brightness scale). However, the clarity, screen real estate and features (such as PBP) the monitor offers makes it a productivity powerhouse. Very happy with this purchase.

    Tried a few Ultra Wides primarily for my MacBook Pro, but also wanted it to look good with my Windows desktop! The 5k resolution is incredible with both, and using something like easyRes on Mac makes this monitor so great looking at full 4k with retina! Can fit so much more on my 1 monitor now for work and feel way more productive with video conference, without needing dual monitors any more. Email, code, browser, and terminal all on the screen at the same time, and totally legible in full 4k (or even 5k). Would recommend to remote workers or anyone who wants to be more product with one monitor instead of 2!!

    Great replacement for two 27'' 4k monitors

    I purchased the LG 40 Ultrawide 5k monitor as a replacement for two 27'' 4k monitors. I could not be happier with the my new setup. Plus I don't have to scale my display to 125%, thus loosing the vertical resolution. I can now take full advantage of the 2160p vertical pixels. It is much easier to do side-by-side code windows now without trying to work the windows around the split screen. Not too happy about the cost. Since it is for my home office and I work mostly remote it was worth it.

    Love using this for all around use and specifically video editing. Has a good variety of picture profiles and simply/easily connects to my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro. It's a pleasure to use and certainly beats the Mac Studio Monitor in every aspect except the 5K. Try it, you'll like it.

    Absolutely insane

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This 5k by 2k resolution monitor is everything you need for productivity purposes. the thunderbolt 4 port is a major plus. The only thing I'd say is the scaling in Mac's. The 5k by 2k resolution makes the font very small so you'll need to settle for other slightly lower resolutions, but this "problem" doesn't exist on the windows side. Absolutely recommend this monitor

    This Monitor is a monster, I’m loving it! I do wish it did have more nits so everyone can quiet down about it and also allow for a poppier HDR display of movies if you watch movies on your MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Max. I watch movies on my LG OLED so that not really a big deal for me! 5 Stars all the way for me! Love LG now, from a Plasma Panasonic guy!

    Phenomenal screen! The size and resolution are stunning. Just wish the LG 40WP95C-W were a little bit brighter but definitely not a deal breaker. Most ultra-wide screens that size are 300 nits anyway. And after a while you don't really notice the lower brightness except when compared to say a Mac Pro or iMac. Buy it, you'll love it! No regrets here! I'm in love with this screen!

    Great WS Monitor for my MacBook Pro

    I'm using this display with a 16" MacBook Pro (M2 Max). Purchased after doing a ton of research so I was prepared for some quirks - can't control brightness or volume via keyboard, and the display can be a touch slow to reconnect when waking the MB from sleep. As many have stated it is not the brightest monitor but it works great in my workspace. I do video editing so spreading out a timeline in Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer is just great. For video calls I just hook my iPhone onto the top of the monitor and use Apple's Continuity Camera feature. The resolution may not technically be "retina" but at normal working distance I can't see the pixel structure and text looks very crisp. Highly recommended!

    Higher Resolution is AMAZING

    I just came from a 34" ultrawide (3440p). I Love that monitor, but found myself wanting more height for coding work and for reading documentation. The extra pixels really do shine here for when you're needing the width and height. The picture quality is the best I've ever had on a monitor, bar none. When I'm not working, I'll sometimes use my xbox series X on it — still amazing picture. I would 100% recommend this monitor to anyone looking for a little more height and higher resolution than your typical ultrawide monitor. I'm driving this with a 2021 MacBook Pro (M1) with absolutely zero issues.

    It took me two tries but I'm happy with this purchase. The first monitor had issues with the thunderbolt ports. I was seeing suboptimal speeds when going through my 10gbe (100mbs). It also had issues staying connected. Best Buy made it easy to swap the monitor and the second one has worked great. I'm seeing 500mbs through the 10gbe and I'm very pleased with the screen. This is my work and pleasure monitor. For work I deal with big spreadsheets a lot so the 40" is perfect for the job! For fun I do video and photo editing. Would it be nice to have a brighter screen for true HDR and more accurate color options. Sure. But this monitor fits my needs perfectly for work and fun.
