Used LG 49WL95C-W 49" UltraWide Curved Dual QHD Virtually Borderless IPS LED Monitor with Built-In Speakers, 5120x1440

2024-08-11T20:00:00

5 years in and still going strong, not a single issue! I wanted a 49" monitor with speakers to clean up my desk and to remove the bezels from my multiple monitors. This single super-ultra-wide 49" monitor w/speakers just made more sense than my three monitors that were side-by-side and stand alone speakers. I literally only need two cables now (1-Power & 2-DP). Now there is nowhere for dust bunnies' to hide behind the monitor - oh and it has the added benefit of freeing up two of my display ports on the video card and power strip plugs not to mention all the speaker wires! Happy camper here - my only regret was not doing it sooner. While the sound isn't as good as a high end dedicated speaker by any means, it has been great for everything I've needed it for. Really good L/R separation helps with games and voices and music sound great too. A friend recently purchased the new ASUS ROG 49" w/speakers and let me tell you my 5 year old LG blows it out of the water with sound quality. If I need audiophile sound Ill just put my high-end headphone on. I'm extremely happy with this LG purchase, my next one will be another LG, albeit one with more of a curve to it and higher resolution since video cards have evolved to easily handle it nowadays.

This display will go black randomly and not work for days or weeks at a time. Terrible product with absolutely deplorable customer service from LG representatives. They are aware of this issue and yet do not remove this product off market.

Using with a 2019 Macbook Pro with the provided USB-C cable and it intermittently goes black for 5-7 seconds a couple times an hour while I'm using it. It's incredible frustrating and ruins the experience of using this monitor. If you're a mac user, I'd look elsewhere.

Purchased 2 to replace 4 monitors on my desk. Side by side there is no way to reach the controls for the first monitor, and with the 2nd monitor against the wall.. agian.. I cant reach it. There needs to be an app mechanism to change key features like turning on/off pbp, etc. I will wait for response to see if any alternatives coming or present before returning them.

I bought this monitor for my business as this eliminates having 3 different screens and suits us best, however, one of the main issues we have is that the screen constantly black outs for about 5 secs every several minutes. It is the MOST annoying thing ever. We have checked the power cords, the wall sockets as well as the connection wire from the monitor to the tower and we can not seem to figure out the problem. We have dished out lots of money and buying new cords and still to no avail has it stopped the black outs!

LG isn't addressing this issue, which countless people have reported on at various locations around the net. For me, this monitor is new, using only LG-provided cabling. Within one day I began to see the blanking that everyone is talking about. I called customer service and they were not helpful at all. It's been a month and this monitor still blanks several times within an 8-hour period, or 6 times an hour.

I bought this ultra wide monitor 1year ago and still don't have any issues. It is well designed and the colors are fantastic! LG is synonymous of quality. I like LG products, I also have a TVs and washing machines LG.

I have had this monitor for a few months now, and would rate it a 5 star, were it not for a few baffling design/techincal decisions, and its hideausly high price tag. 1. USB Hub/KVM is not shared across HDMI or DP ports - absolutely Baffling!!! Monitor requires an urgent software update to support this. 2. The joystick control is great, however it is on the back left hand side, which makes accessing it a pain, especially if you are short limbed, or in my case have speakers at the side of the monitor - would be much better placed botom centre, or very slightly offset from the the bottom middle. 3. There is only one USB-C port - I have to use an external USB VKM to connect my laptops - Add more USB-C slots 4. When USB-C input is selected (changed) on the (external) KVM, it drops connection to all connected USB devices, which means that when I go to log on to another device, windows Hello on the montor connected USB-C webcam does not connect properly to the external device.

Purchased July 12, 2022. Ussed with PC and Mac M1. On both when connected by usb-c, the display would go blank for 5s about every hour of use. Sent in for repair and received two weeks later working without issue. So, I was dissappointed that the monitor initially failed and that I was without a monitor for two weeks but now seems to be working well. Text clarity is the best I have seen in a monitor of this size!

This is my second LG wide monitor?.. I do a lot of drone video editing and upon receiving my new 48 inch monitor and editing on it for the first time I never realized what a magnificent piece of equipment this is to use for just about anything that you can think of including business worker play?.

I received this a few weeks ago. I like the concept of a 49in ultrawide monitor with a split screen and the ability to attach mutiple devices to same monitor. I have requested to return the monitor got the following reasons. (1) the screen is not curved enough; this makes hard to see the material at the end of the monitor because it is so far away. (2) I was not able to connect my MacBook pro, although this laptop connect fine to other monitors. (3) the instructions were not clear . (4) the software was hard to find. (5) Technical service people did not call me back, and there not available upon repeated calls.

It is a breadth taking product and experience. However, it has some problems when it comes to day to day use. You lose too much vertical space compared to a regular 43" 4k monitor, the ppi is too low, that makes the text a little blurry. It's not cool when you watch Netflix or other videos, you either get two black bars or zoom in to cut the head.

I did a lot of research before buying this monitor. I've been very happy with this monitor over the last year or so I've used it. It works great with my MacBook Pro and my other HP laptop. There are some issues with my MacBook Pro and displaying on the highest resolution/screen-size on the monitor but I do not mind, and this has to do with my computers graphics card from my understanding and not the monitor itself. This monitor makes multi-tasking very easy and is great for balancing creative work and work with data at the same time in other parts of the screen. In the future when I buy a new Apple computer or other computer I will make sure it's graphics card can outputting the highest resolution a monitor like this offers since I very much know I will want to buy larger monitors like this again in the future. Highly recommend the LG brand, I've had nothing but good experiences with their products so far.

Great work productivity tool, 5120x1440 on Display Port only. HDMI is 3840x1080. Refresh rate is 60Hz so if you want to game on this, might not be what you're looking for.

I love this monitor, it's got great features and makes my work flow so much easier throughout the day. I love the picture in picture features where I connect my phone and watch anything I want while working. It is a great investment for sure.

Needs to show where to open on the outside. I unintuitive you opened the opposite side than what was preferred (the inner flap showed which side to open). Looks good!

Let me first off say I love the monitor. I wish it did a couple things. One, I wish I could split it into multiple virtual monitors. The software to section it is...fine. I want to run a video or game full screen on one section of the monitor while using the rest for other things. Secondly the dual monitor setup does not work as advertised. The keyboard and mouse still have to be manually switched between computers unless both are being used in picture in picture mode. Also when using the mouse with dual controller software it moves the mice on both computers. Not a terrible experience but very unpolished. Knowing what I know now I probably would have gone with dual monitors.

Overall, this monitor is 5/5 for anyone working from home remotely during the pandemic. It?s effortless to run Zoom/Teams alongside two other apps in parallel. My sweet spot is running 3 equally sized windows (left/center/right). I?ll keep what I?m working on in the center, Zoom on the right hand side if I?m not presenting, and email/Slack on the left. The hardware is beautiful and well designed. I really like the single USB 3.0 cable running both power and display to my laptop, keeps things clean. One minor nit is I?d like to see one more USB 3.0 port - my webcam is USB 3.0 and had to get an adapter. Not a big deal. The software called OnScreen Control is good, but not great. A few things I want LG to improve: better native integration with the Windows, for example WinKey + Left/Right arrow to snap windows to zones. I also want the app to be in the Windows App Store to make it easier to find it, install, it, and update it. LG support also ignores requests for help on this app or feature requests. LG needs to learn from Apple to how to run customer support. Overall, I?d recommend this monitor to anyone who is working from home on video all day. It?s been a huge productivity boost for me, and my posture is way better. I wish I had bought it sooner in the pandemic. I normally do not post product reviews, but, my decision was highly influenced by other reviews, so wanted to give back.

I bought this about a month ago. It is much more than what I expected! I love the design as it has a very sturdy stand to hold it. It was very easy to connect and it has an excellent picture. I thought about purchasing another 25-27" monitor to go with the other one I already owned, but then I saw this one. I needed something to be able to work from home and I needed a larger sized monitor. I saw this one and it had speakers. This was the only one out there that had speakers with it that I located and I did research for about 3 weeks. The speakers have good sound. This was definitely worth the investment and is functioning better than I expected!! If you are looking for a ultra wide monitor, use some of that stimulus money and purchase this. I highly recommend this monitor!!

I bought this to supplement my Mac laptop display as I anticipate giving up my 27? iMac. I like all of the screen real estate. It?s working well for me. It?s not as crisp as my iMac?s display, but I guess that?s to be expected. I had to disable the brightness auto-adjust ? it kept going up and down for seemingly no reason. I would prefer more USB-C ports ? it only comes with one. But they did include a USB 2 to C adapter.

I bought this monitor 6 months ago and have been using it for work-from-home functions. I love how sleek it is and the size is perfect. My only difficulty is how I can split the monitor up into 3 components and this has been difficult to figure out.
