HDR and color calibrated better suited for content and productivity creators than gamers However, it is recommended to use better quality speakers for content creation tasks or use the 3.5mm headphone jack that is also included. LG has not lowered the bar of demand with the audio and integrates a couple of 10W stereo speakers of courtesy that fulfill in most of the cases of use in productivity. LG has put a USB HUB with two USB A ports on the right side of the monitor making it easier to connect devices and, incidentally, expanding the variety of ports if you use a laptop or a MacBook in which these ports are conspicuous by their absence. That way you can connect two different computers or a computer and a console at the same time to the monitor and use half of the screen to see the content of each source simultaneously. On the other hand, by using a lower resolution, the HDMI ports allow the input sources to be duplicated thanks to the technology Picture By Picture (PBP). In any case, it is not a monitor especially designed for gaming, although you can play on it. This limitation means that, for example, it is not possible to activate the 4K resolution at 120 Hz of the consoles and gaming equipment state-of-the-art, among other things because it only reaches a variable refresh rate of 72 Hz.
The negative point is the limitation of the HDMI that limits both the resolution and the refresh rate of the screen. In addition, it has a second take Thunderbolt 4 which allows daisy-chaining between two monitors with a single cable and with support for 5K resolution. We are talking about a port Display Port 1.4two shots HDMI2.0, two USB 3.0 portsin addition to a USB-C port with charging capabilities at 96 W that, when connected to a laptop, will charge.
If the design is one of the strengths of this monitor, connectivity is not far behind, being one of its main assets. Complete and accessible connections with good integrated sound
This LG 40WP95C is one of the few 5K monitors on the market, which makes it especially suitable as an alternative to Apple’s Studio Display and take full advantage of the native 5K resolution of Apple computers. The central column of the foot is a key element in this monitor since allows ergonomic adjustment of the monitor both in height, allowing a range of 110 mm, and in inclination, with a range of between 5º and -20º, as well as a rotation of between -15º and 15º.Ĭable management is simple but effective, and is based on a plastic ring that surrounds the support column and keeps the cables hidden behind this upright to lead them to the back of the table, preventing them from hanging from the connectors. The position of this button is very comfortable to use given the format and size of the monitor.ĭespite its impressive size, the support fixing system is very simple. The back is no less spectacular, sporting a white finish that gives it a modern and avant-garde look, while making its presence lighter when the table is not attached to a wall.Īt the bottom of the monitor there is a small joystick with which you can navigate through its interface. Impressed by the 40” from its diagonalbut also because of the spectacular nature of its 2500R curved screen that seems suspended in the air with the sole support of a crescent-shaped base that minimizes the visual impact on the table. The first impression of everyone who has approached my table in the weeks that I have been testing this monitor is that it is huge. With that said, let’s start with the analysis itself. Then, it may even take a couple of days of acclimatization to have so much space on the screen and learn to take advantage of it. This has made the transition to LG 40WP95C Ultrawide It has been much more natural for me than if you come from working on a single conventional monitor. 4 Comfort and connectivity that have made me forget about my two monitors Avant-garde and functional that fits with the “Apple philosophy”īefore I start this review, I think it’s important to mention that I regularly work in front of a pair of 27” 1440p monitors set to extended desktop, so I’m familiar with the advantages of having a large on-screen workspace.
