Perfect 'Work From Home' Macbook Pro USB-C Productivity Monitor - 49 inch
Summary: No issues for me at all. Multi-tasking heaven. High-quality screen resolution and easy to setup. Stop your search and just buy this!This review is for the 49 inch LG 49WL95C-W. You can read the tech specs everywhere but this a review for the person working from home and wanting to know in plain English if this is a great monitor. Answer: YES!!Easy setup: This monitor is absolutely perfect for Macbook Pro users like myself. The monitor came with a USB-C cable (among many other cable types). Out of the box, connecting the stand and mounting the monitor to it was a breeze. Then it's literally two cables: one to power the monitor into the wall and then the USB-C to connect the laptop. (The monitor will charge your laptop). After reading that some users were having issues with the screen flickering/blacking out while I was researching, I was sure to immediately go to the LG support page to download any firmware updates. I've had this for a week now and I haven't had a single issue. Don't let any negative reviews deter you. The final step was to adjust the display resolution under system preferences on my laptop, then everything looked even better than I was expecting. The monitor itself gives you some settings for further customization, but I spent a minimal amount of time messing with that. It's just a small push knob on the back panel towards the right side.. very easy to use. The whole process from opening the box to being completely up and running was just a few minutes and I found it to be easy and I think most others would too.High-Quality Screen Resolution: To me, the 5120 x 1440 screen resolution gives a very similar picture quality to my laptop's display. It's obviously unrealistic to have it look better than the laptop considering there's MUCH more real estate to work with, but I'm VERY pleased with the quality. I can watch 4k videos on YouTube and I think it looks fantastic. Text is also crisp. The resolution just everything 99% of people will ever need for work, browsing the web, or any common productivity tasks. To organize your windows, LG's OnScreen Control (that you can download from LG's website) allows you to split the screen in a variety of ways. I like using the 3 screen split, but you can split it up to 8 screens. I know people are talking about 3rd party software for more screen splitting customization, but I haven't tried that. I like splitting the screen vertically into thirds. This way, each of the 3 screens is a little bigger than the size of my 15 inch laptop screen, and I have 3 windows side by side, all looking incredible. It's easy to switch between layouts and move windows around. It just solves so many annoying problems that I used to have with tiling windows behind each other. No more!Sound: The monitor itself has speakers as well as a port for your headphones. Audiophiles probably wouldn't be salivating over it, but I think it sounds decent. I would still give the edge to my 2018 Macbook Pro speakers, but I just use headphones most of the time anyway. Just buy separate speakers if top-quality sound is super important to you.Conclusion: I bought this monitor because I'm working from home as a software developer and I need to multi-task with several programs visible at the same time. This is absolutely everything I was hoping for and more! The screen is large and wide, but not obnoxiously so. The quality is excellent and I have no issues. Zero dead pixels, no flicker or black out issues. Working from home is now so much more convenient and enjoyable, that's really the bottom line. I can imagine this would be the perfect monitor for stock traders as well who are looking to analyze several charts simultaneously. I'm not a gamer, so I can't speak to that at all regarding refresh rates, but for work or regular internet use, 60Hz is definitely all you need. If you can afford it, go for it!! This monitor is quality and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. My girlfriend jokes that I won't spend time with her in the evenings as much anymore because of this thing. Haha, she's not entirely wrong.

Wish this was more curved...
--== Feb 2025 Update ==--Four years later, I’m bumping this up to four stars—this monitor has more than proven its worth. Looking back at my previous review… honestly, I’m not sure what I was thinking.I no longer care about the remote, so that complaint feels unfair—I've never needed to change the input, and this thing has been rock solid. It has significantly boosted my productivity, and the screen real estate is more than enough.As for the curvature, I take back my original critique. I must have been comparing it too closely to my previous setup, but in practice, it’s plenty sufficient. No issues, no regrets. I still think the headphone jack placement could be better, but I’ve since switched to a multi-point Bluetooth device, so it’s a non-issue for me now.The two best features that continue to impress:✅ 5120 x 1440 over USB-C – Flawless, high-res performance without compromise.✅ USB-C with Power Delivery – Simplifies my setup and keeps my MacBook charged with a single cable.Still a fantastic monitor after all these years.--== Nov 8, 2021 Update ==--The USB Port 1 appears to be malfunctioning and has any device plugged in working sporadically or at a low rate of function.I use an Apple Macbook Pro connected and powered via USB-C. On the monitor, I have both a mouse, keyboard, and webcam connected to the USB ports on the monitor. I've had the monitor in this configuration since February 2021 with no issue. I first started noticing the issue with a wireless mouse where the tracking would come in and out. I tested and confirmed that it was not the battery and then tested with a hardwired mouse and had the same issue. I then tested with USB ports 2, 3, and 4 and had no issue. Once I realized the USB port 1 with that device had issues I begin testing that port with other devices, keyboard, webcam, and hard drive each of which had issues that only occur when using USB port 1. At this point, I'm certain that there is an issue with this single port as I've tested multiple devices with multiple port combinations and USB port 1 is universally the issue.--== Original Review ==--Wish this monitor was more curved but works perfectly with my Mac over USB-C. I spent about 2 weeks with a the AOC AGON Curved Gaming Monitor 49" (AG493UCX) and I do think they got the curvature right with regard to what bring the image to you periphery. In comparison this monitor significantly lacks however that's the only knock I've been able to find this far.Pros- USB-C provides 5120x1440 output flawlessly on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports). I can't find any other monitor in this size that does this.- Supports Mac's Night Shift. This was an unexpected plus as i've not seen any other external monitor do this- Has 4 usb ports (2 rear + 2 side)Cons- Lacks a remote, however i can only say that because the AG493UCX had one. Something you don't know you need till you have it.- Not curved enough compared to over brands; With a monitor this wide the exaggerated curve i a must for you eye to take full advantage without having to strain or or shift focus as you look to the far edge. (AOC has gotten this right)- Headphone jack on the side vs rear. Its just too wide for this to be practical location to hook up anything without wires being an eye soar.
