LG 40WP95C Ultrawide Monitor: 1 Year Review | Performance, Pros & Cons

[@lcax8804]

Absolutely love the section about switching between the sources, I wish more tech-tubers do exactly this kind of test, including how does the switching work. Great video overall.

[@Ezinma88]

Nice video. Thanks for posting. One piece of feedback though, would be good if you used chapters to make it easier for viewers to skip around to the parts of the video we want.

[@magicmulder]

I've had this for 9 months now and I'm still super happy. Absolute dream. Perfect width and height, resolution is amazing. Of course, OLED and 120+ Hz would be nice, but I'm willing to sacrifice those first before compromising on size, PPI and resolution.

[@user-jw6yh4ev4n]

i have it but thinking of selling it for a 57" samsung G9 neo. The latter is objectively a much better monitor even for work unless you need very high colour accuracy.

[@sbacon92]

Yes. Still best work monitor I've touched.

[@nabiljemel2838]

which monitor arm are you usig with this monitor ? I like that clean setup ditching the original monitor stand.

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

5:00 Thats a bit annoying! They should have single button presets instead of joystick for selecting Source 1, Source 2 etc.

[@joeldoxtator9804]

I have the 34 inch flat panel version of this. It has been a great all around display, but it does suffer from temporary image burn in. If you leave the display on for a long time, the pixels will stay semi illuminated even after the picture changes, leading to a ghostly image of what was displayed before until the pixels are cycled enough times. Not a huge issue, but annoying none the less if you go from a long desktop session to a movie or gaming.

[@AdamKDean]

This is why we have screensavers btw, to wash the screen

[@trex70]

Thank you for sharing this good Review

[@besovereign2032]

Good honest review

[@braaitongs]

What GPU were you using and what game and settings were you playing at?

[@Italliving]

5 Months Later and you have switched to the 57Inch 8K 👍👍

[@TutoDS2014]

I'm between a 49" and 40" monitor, any suggestion?

[@thomasrathmann8886]

Coming from an Eizo I hoped the auto brightness function would work similarly smooth. It doesn't because not working stepless, it goes active every few seconds, slowly driving me crazy, plus the variation range is unnecessarily limited in both directions. Good idea, very poorly implemented.

[@bbq-.-]

I am also an Eizo user and I am considering purchasing a 40WP95C-W. From the perspective of eye protection, how would you evaluate this monitor compared to Eizo? Thank you.

[@nnnnnn3647]

automatic switching of active computers is in the monitor settings.

[@Madox8888]

Thank you for your review. I also think to buy this monitor. what 2 cams you have on the top of your LG ?

[@HEREONOUTBAILEY]

How does this compare to the Mac Studio Display?

[@tofajvito]

Hello, does this monitor have PBP??? THANK you.

[@grzegorzgrzegorz5031]

Hi, nice review. Do you know a way to make the icons on the topbar become larger. My issue with 5k2k resolution is that everything is small.

[@Led.on.YouTube]

What kind of mousepad do you use?

[@olinzknihytovi]

I bought this monitor, but when I connect my webcam to any of the side USB-A ports, my computer doesn't recognize it. It seems the USB-A hub doesn't supply the energy for the logitec C920 webcam. Is my monitor broken or do I need turn on the USB-A functionality somewhere?

[@DJDUBYANG]

Those cons aren't too bad. It's actually great insight into how the monitor behaves with multiple signals - thanks for the review!

[@jony2786]

Did you have the lg monitor driver installed or does it show as Generic UPnP Monitor Device? For my use case, I wanted to be able to wake the right computer.

[@superbadmofo1]

I have a LG 38UC99... and it has the slight wobble problem, does anyone know if the LG 40WP95C model has fixed that issue???

[@smrplayerx3727]

When do you think they are going to release a better version or next version for this? Couldnt find anything online

[@blaidd-ppga]

Heard there will be a new dell 40 inch next month

[@dennisbushmitch8416]

can it rotate 90 degrees with factory-provided bracket? thank you!

[@RoadRallyLife]

Great review, appreciate your hard work - here's a curveball for you - what is the difference between this model and the seemingly identical LG 40BP95C-W? The latter is a few hundred cheaper and offers a 3 year warranty - which the mainstream version doesn't, which for a $2k monitor is shocking.

[@HighTechCheck]

It seems that there isn’t a difference except the bp version has a 3 yr warranty which I’m sure you’re paying for with the extra cost of the monitor. I’ve had no issues with my monitor what so ever and I still use it all the time for my video editing.

[@epicimages5583]

Ive just returned mine under warranty after 6 months usage. when displaying a white screen, i could see colour shift from magenta to cyan. it was in large patches. unacceptable for colour accurate work. Im getting a replacement but hopefully i dont have the same issue. id be curious to know if you see anything similar with a full white display.

[@beeldbuijs]

How did the replacement go? I recently bought one but it flickers and it gets worse…

[@epicimages5583]

@@beeldbuijs my replacement has the same issue i mentioned, but not as bad. I feel its just the limitations of the product. Ive learned to live with it. Unfortunately there really isn't an alternative for this size/res. There are several models from various companies but they're all effectively the same panel. Haven't had any issues with flickering.

[@beeldbuijs]

@@epicimages5583 Meanwhile, I bought a Philips 42M2N8900. It has a much better (OLED!) screen, double the fps, zero lag, better contrast and better colors. It's not an ultrawide though, it's 16:9 and it's not curved either, but I'm keeping this one ;·)

[@beeldbuijs]

Bought it in november. Unfortunately, the screen starts to flicker and it gets worse, the longer I have it. Not always, but it gets worse depending on how long it is on, the resolution and the colors that are shown. It's also worse with video, somehow.

[@robmijn]

I was going to order this monitor but read the brightness isn't great. Have you found that to be an issue?

[@HighTechCheck]

I personally have not had an issue with the brightness even in my studio. Will you be using the monitor with super bright lights shining directly onto the screen from behind you?

[@robmijn]

@@HighTechCheck No. desk will be in living room with moderate lighting not shining directly into monitor.

[@MarcJenningstv]

one thing I really don't like is the stand, if I buy one I'd put it on a monitor arm.

[@HighTechCheck]

I agree, my arm works really well with this monitor.

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

at this point, is better wait for a refresh?

[@HighTechCheck]

It depends on what you’re going to use it for?

[@nickvermeire]

I've read complaints about KZbin video's that would kind of start to flicker. Have you experienced anything like that ?

[@HighTechCheck]

I haven’t experienced that.

[@yzhere3745]

what Arm are you using for the monitor? thanks

[@HighTechCheck]

[@adrianbarac3063]

Nice review. Yep, this is still the best one in 2023 (having tried and disliked the Lenovo). Having 2160 pixels high is the real thing - You can view both UHD and Cinema 4K natively and also have the ultrawide real estate.

[@krip77krip]

Why didn’t you like the Lenovo?

[@adrianbarac3063]

@@krip77krip Maybe "disliked" was too strong a word. The Lenovo did have some advantages, which you'll see when you go through all the reviews - but the LG won overall for design and image quality. As a video editing / general-use monitor at this size and resolution (and on a Mac) - it's the one to beat, at least at this point in time.

[@user-jw6yh4ev4n]

see 57 inch samsung g9 neo....

[@adrianbarac3063]

​@@user-jw6yh4ev4nThanks for the tip! Looks great. Will investigate...

[@randomstuff_unbox]

Hi, What cable did you use to extend the display of your mac studio?

[@Those_Weirdos]

A Thunderbolt cable.

[@riccardoatwork5291]

you would still buy it today, or you would have a better choice?

[@HighTechCheck]

It depends on what you’re looking for in the monitor and what you’re going to be using it for. If all you’re going to be using it for is mainly gaming, then there are better options. I needed the 5k 2k resolution because I wanted text to be sharp, I mainly use my monitor for content, creation and editing.

[@riccardoatwork5291]

@@HighTechCheck I would be doing mainly content creation and coding (which involves a lot of reading, that is mainly why I want a crips high res image..) I just wish there was an ultrawide that had high res as this one but also more luminosity and even more importantly a higher refresh rate , say around 120Hz..

[@artbess7613]

Why not to make at least 100 Hz, then it would be perfect

[@rotopercutorash]

Yeah, i feel like crying

[@user-jw6yh4ev4n]

just get samsung 57 inch g9 neo

[@saadaor]

how about coding on it?

[@cbboiii1100]

I'm looking for a monitor to teach myself financial modeling and to day trade. Is this or the 40wp96c-w something worth looking into? Won't game or do tech stuff on it

[@kimle01]

Hmm the Dell has much better input switching...

[@Tottorul]

When this comes at the same resolution but with proper hdr, thousands of dimming zones, 120hz and option for glossy screen, it will be perfection for productivity/work, movies and games

[@knwr]

I would never buy a glossy screen for productivity.

[@Tottorul]

@@knwr possible with a removable thin matte layrr?

[@smrplayerx3727]

Do you know the next release date for an updated one?

[@Those_Weirdos]

When this monitor comes out and tries to be everything for everyone, it'll be awful for its intended use case. There are certain use cases that are mutually exclusive.

[@Tottorul]

@@Those_Weirdos how, its got it all, forgot to mention a qd layer also$)

[@catapaicu]

Not worth it! a 32 inch 4K is cost ~300 .. this one costs ~1300 so does not justify 1k more money for the extra horizontal resolution.

[@Those_Weirdos]

A Cybertruck wallpaper? Well, I know to ignore your opinions on literally everything forever. You should lead all videos with that information.

[@92kosta]

What a stupid comment!

[@codycast]

lol you don’t trust his opinions because of what car is on his wallpaper? That’s pretty strange (unless you’re joking)

[@Saltytoxico]

That inputs faff is horrific

[@mehradraissi]

loved your review, can you also review this monitor again from trader's point od view with maximumm resolution and normal scaling to view charts from sites like tradingview, i heard bcuz of high PPI and extera 3 cm height you can view charts clearly when you zoom back , i'm sure lots of traders want to know that bcuz the only other option they have is Samsung g9 neo 49" but the problem with that monitor is it only has 1440p and 109 ppi and the height is not ideal for charting

[@youfool6383]

don't give me wrong it looks nice but i'm not paying that kind of money for Monitor no way
