I had this monitor for a bit over 4 months. the picture quality and kvm works great but the issue I have with this is the bezels cracking due to ambient temperature change.It has gotten so bad that plastic on the top of the monitor has started to warp and come detached to the panel.Also due to the cracking of the bezels I have noticed that the screen is experiencing multiple splotches of bad pixels (surface of the panel) which I temporarily fixed with some toothpaste.For this price tag the QC makes the monitor not worth it. Will go through the manufacture's warranty process and hopefully LG will own up to their issues

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.

I mainly bought this to switch from a 3 monitor setup to a single monitor setup for both my gaming and work computer with the KVM functionality.

When it is working it is working amazingly well. However when it does not work, you want to pull your hair out.

The first issue.
For no reason whatsoever, you can lose your radial menue for swapping back and forth between inputs and have to use the horrible side menu. The only way I can ever seem to get the radial menu back is to factory reset the monitor.

Hate this. Hate it.

Second issue:
USB-C thunderbolt going to my dell work laptop. It will only work through the docking station and it usually takes multiple attempts between switching from USB-C input to Display port input.

Third Issue:
I also use the KVM functionality So my keyboard/mouse/webcam/headset are all plugged into the monitor and switch to whatever input I am currently using. With the Displayport + USB-A it works flawlessless, however with the USB-C thunderbolt the headset will certainly malfunction and cut out until we switch inputs back and forth. So when I switch to my work computer I must manually unplug my headset from the monitor and plug it into the laptop directly. This is not an issue with my home PC. It very well be Dell's problem, all I know is that it only happens running through this monitor.

So if you want to use this via USB-C thunderbolt, be prepared for some issues, especially with a Dell.

Also customer support on both ends are complete trash, LD blames Dell and Dell blames LG. I have also did a deep dive into the windows event logs and found nothing at all helpful.

Final Issue.
You really want to install Microsoft Powertoys for the Fanzy Zones feature or at the very least get windows 11. The wide sceen needs to be divided into zones for a reasonable experience.

Verdict: Maybe a little expensive for the amount of finageling you need to do to get it to work, if things just worked without the fidgetting this would be an 11/5 rating because there is no way I can go back to the old way of doing things on multiple monitors, so once it is working, it is great, it can be a massive headache to get working properly.

They need to up their driver game, or their support game to get a better than 3/5 stars.

PHOTOS: I've included two photos of the UFO test for comparison, the one is of this monitor and the other is a smaller ultragear model that I also have. These were only taken on an iPhone 15 but the differences are striking, and it's even more blatent in person. In short, don't buy this if you care about motion blur.

I had high hopes for this monitor, I really wanted to like it because it lets me get rid of 2 of my ultragears. Sadly the pixel response times of this monitor are atrocious and there appeared to be nothing I could do or settings I could change that improved it, there are very obvious trails behind fast moving objects and there is no settings for blur reduction other than overdrive which didn't resolve anything even on the fastest setting. This is in comparison to my 27" ultragears which don't have these issues (tested them side by side using the UFO test). For almost 2 grand you don't expect to make compromises so unfortunately this is getting returned.

I like the monitor and the size, although having a 38" and a 49" I have opted to go for the 38" LG over the 49". I am not using it for gaming, just work from home and multiple spreadsheets but the real estate is so big it's literally hard to see the windows you have open on the edges of the screen. However, the fact that it completely bricked after 6 months is why I am giving it 2 stars. I have owned countless monitors in my life and this is the first one that failed in under a year. Now I am driving it to the repair depot to get it fixed.

this def does not come anywhere near the 7 year old mac screen i am currently running... had to try different cords to make it work at all. also refresh rate isn't available past 85 hz which is far from the 140 that's advertised. the screen isn't horrible but it's definitely fuzzier than it should be at 5K. I am hoping that someone may respond to the review with a solution... but not holding my breath - may embark on the 1800 call loop tomorrow to see what is available for remedy... running at 5120x1440

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars This monitor only lasted 7 months!
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024

I got this LG 49” monitor about 7 months ago. Initially, I was pretty happy with the purchase except for a few things such as not having a remote control, having very limited ports, and the screen being barely curved (kind of difficult to use for work because it is mostly flat). Other than those things, I was pretty satisfied with my purchase… up until now.

Out of nowhere, the monitor just completely stopped working. I was just sitting at my desk doing work and “poof” the screen was completely out. At first it acted as if it was glitching but a few minutes later it completely fried. I contacted customer support from LG through Amazon and they said there is not really much they can do. They told me they can try to repair, and I will have to ship this massive 49” inch back to them, but if the shipment gets damaged along the way they would not be able to help.

Luckily, I had purchased additional coverage through Asurion (the team was fantastic) and they will cover this damage with a replacement since it is not fixable. If it wasn’t for them, I would be at a complete loss.

If you are spending this much money on a monitor, go with another brand. LG is not a good option. A product at this price should not last 7 months.

If you decide to purchase this product, keep the box. You might need it when your monitor goes out too.

Plugged this into may Mac Studio and my old Hackintosh. Works flawlessly in both full screen and Picture-by-Picture modes. It was instantly recognized and my Mac put out the full 5120x1440 @ 144Hz flawlessly!

The only detractors I can think of, is that there are no options to adjust volume without going into a menu, accessed by the little joystick nub controller on the rear. I would have loved a few quick access buttons along the underside in the center. Even better if the functions could be assigned. I was considering installing a pair of "side wings" on either side of the monitor, in the form of 3840x1100 pixel 14" mini-ultrawide displays, in portrait mode. I just like the idea of a few eeeextra pixels to have apps like Discord, Messages, Mail, etc on. Placing the controls exclusively at the side means controlling this monitor will be significantly more awkward, if I follow through with this idea.

Even ignoring my weird setup ideas... just having to reach AAAAAAALL the way around this GLORIOUS 4 FOOT WIDE BEHEMOTH, just to change settings is definitely the kind of first world problems I don't mind having. Honestly, is it so hard to have some easily accessible buttons though? Only the mot minor complaint against a bevy of satisfaction and excitement over my new monitor!

Have not tried the KVM functionality yet. Maybe I can append this after I have my PC set up on it too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its BARELY CURVED!! Read if you're planning on desktop use
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2024
Verified Purchase
Curved displays have a curvature measurement, something like 1000R or 1500R which indicates how tight the curvature is. A 1000R for example would be a perfect curvature for someone sitting 1 Meter (3.28ft) away to have the same distance from themself to the entire monitor, a 1500R is 1.5 meters, etc. This is really important for ultrawides when youre trying to use them for work because it can be fatiguing to continually adjust your depth of field.

When i was shopping between monitors i looked at this, the LG 49GR85DC, and the samsung G9. I decided on this LG because it was not a "gaming monitor" and i read reviews that stated text was clear. Nowhere on the amazon listing or the manufacturers page does it list the curvature, and i assumed it would be the same as the other LG, well i unboxed it and found its 3800R, you read that right, the sweet spot for the curve is 3.8 meters away.

From my normal seating position its 33" from my chest to the center of the screen, to either side that measurement goes to 41". this makes the left and right sides really fatiguing to use. I came from a 35" that was an 1800R which is usable, 1000R is actually pretty ideal.

Otherwise, the packaging was great, the color and text is great, the build quality seems great, i had no issues with getting it connected and up and running. Im returning it for the LG 49GR85DC, and im hoping that one works better. I could see this being a viable option for a use case where someone is further away from the screen, like a security panel, but not for normal day to dat office tasks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, but not for gaming
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
Verified Purchase
I have always wanted the 49inch ultra wide monitor since I saw them back 2019 or so. Just got telework, so I thought I finally had a reason to upgrade the computer monitors. So for reference I was using two 27inch monitors on swivel arms (still using them on my older computer now). 1 was a 4k 60hz and the other was 1440p 144hz.

Dual 27 inch monitors I think are somewhat better in a lot of ways, however, the other reason I wanted to upgrade was become if you have dual monitor setup like mine where you have a 4k monitor and another with a 1440p then when you move the mouse from one monitor to the next because the resolution is so much different the mouse will jump really high up or down on the other monitor when you move it over. This causes it to be very hard to find the mouse anytime you move between monitors. This drove me crazy for the past few years.

This monitor is awesome for productivity, but for gaming on it that's another story. A 49 inch monitor in my opinion is really bad to game on for a few reasons. If you are playing first person shooters online then you know 144hz or higher is what you want because you want your frames per second(fps) to be at min be the same as your refresh rate or ideally higher to get the most out of your online first person shooter gaming. Because this monitor's resolution is so high it makes it harder to play games on your graphics card. For example, my old 1440p monitor I can get 150 fps on ultra setting in BF1 (graphics card is 6950xt) but when I switched to this ultrawide monitor even when I switch graphic quality to medium I still get about 110 fps or so on avg. Essentially, I am losing 40 frames per second just using this monitor. Another reason ultrawide is bad to play on is that some games it just stretches the image, or the game itself simply doesn't support the ultrawide resolution and you get black bars on both sides of the screen making it look like you are playing on a 27 inch monitor again. Which kind of defeats the purpose of spending $1k on a high quality monitor. You can use window mode on most games to help size down the game if you don’t like the stretched image look, but I still find it somewhat pointless since its basically like gaming on a smaller monitor. I am happy I didn’t buy the G9 when it was on sale for black Friday, because I think this monitor is just better for productivity and you can leave gaming behind and not even count it. Overall, gaming on an ultrawide is just disappointing.

When it comes to productivity this monitor is awesome. The colors do pop a little more, not too much compared to my other two monitors. Not having a gap in the middle of the monitor is so nice and having my mouse go from one end to the next with no issue is so convenient. Now, the only kind of draw back that I find is something you have to get use to is snapping your windows to different zones. So for example, you will need to get third party software (I'm using microsoft power toys ) to help snap your programs to one side of the monitor. That way I just hold shift and drop my chrome browser to either side of my screen it will automatically snap to that zone and it will auto fit it /full screen to that zone (and you can do as many zones on your screen as you want which is kind of cool, haven’t found a use for that yet.) Great for if you want to surf the web on one side and have netflix or youtube up on the other side watching a video or whatever or for programming, on one side while looking stuff up on the other.

Another feature of this monitor that I like that is worth mentioning is the curve or really the lack of curve and the primary reason I bought this monitor instead of the G9 49inch gaming ultra wide. Someone complained about how curved the G9 ultrawide was and how weird/hard it was to do normal work because of how curved it was. Now, this monitor basically has no curve and coming from a dual monitor setup that had swivel arms where I could make them flat or angle them to create a pseudo curve was nice. At first I didn’t like the fact this monitor has such little curve because I thought it was slightly annoying to have to move my head to look at the edges of the screen. However, if you are sitting in the middle of the monitor I find it is not really an issue anymore, you just kind of get use to it.
I have slowed down on gaming since I got this monitor because of the reasons I listed above and I have increased my programming work, which I suppose you can put down as a perk for this monitor.
