LG 49 Inch 32:9 Curved UltraWide Dual QHD 144Hz Nano IPS Curved Monitor With HDMI 2.1, USB Type-C(90W),Tilt/Height/Swivel Adjustable - 49WQ95C-W

The monitor in itself would be good quality...if it worked.... It's impossible to make this work at full resolution with Apple M1 despite many attempts with different cables, different input sources. Please check Mac forums. A lot of people complaining for the same issue. The only way to make it work has been through HDMI that does NOT support the maximum resolution (only DP does). Cherry on the cake today it completely stopped working (completely dead) and sending it back to service center. Service center is a third party small shop in Bur Dubai where LG won't even give you the exact pin on the map. So an adventure in itself just to have it repaired. Of course no pick up option even if it's a bulky heavy piece that you can't carry on your own. Horrible experience, no wonder LG is discontinuing this model (probably too many complaints). Do not buy.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I use this screen for my work. The screen quality is fantastic with no dead pixels. Connectivity via DisplayPort 1.4 provides high performance quality connectivity at 120Hz in my case with the graphics card I have (AMD Radeon RX 6700). I work with Windows 11 and MacOS with no problem. Make sure you have a recent MacBook pro to support the maximum resolution. I do casual gaming, which is perfect for me. The 1000r curvature ratio is a bit flat for an immersive experience (1800r curvature is more appropriate). Cons: When I start working in the morning, the screen cracks (top part that is in plastic) for 1-2 minutes under the effect of the heat. This crackling sound is only temporary when the screen is hot. Some people may not notice it, but I did.

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.

Have had this monitor for 3 years, I work as an engineer, connect multiple MacBook pros, m1-m5 plus a pc through HDMI. The monitor is awesome, there nothing else to say. Take it from someone who lives in America, not sure what that “Dubai” person is complaining about in the other reviews, but it’s clear we bought different monitors. If you have the money and even find this new, you can’t go wrong with this purchase.

Make my work more fun and convenient and comfortable

TLDR: Don't buy. USB ports died less than a year of use. Finnicky USB-C connection. Needs more curve as corners can appear a bit dark. On paper, this thing seemed amazing, especially with the built in KVM feature. Reality? Well, this thing start giving me some issue if it goes to sleep about 6 months into it. Not a big deal, as I would just power cycle it. Less than a year ownership, the USB ports stopped working as well. While it worked, it was great. Good colors and definitely less heat output than the OLEDs. Only small issue is the corners are dark from my viewing distance, which requires my head movement to a better angle. 1 year warranty? Apparently doesn't matter as the website deemed it out of warranty even though the purchase date is within the year.
