I’m a software developer and have used up to 3 24” monitors for my setup. I decided to try this 49” - wow! One usb-c cable now instead of 7 cables and a power strip. I loved it so much I decided to try stacking another 49”! I absolutely love it and do not plan going back onsite to work. One draw back, the color accuracy isn’t as good as Dell’s 49” even though it’s the same screen. You’ll need to calibrate it and adjust the display settings. I use a 2017 and 2018 MacBook Pro within the usb-c port with no problems. Highly recommended if you use two or more monitors.

I had a similar monitor and sometimes under specific situations, I had to double-check with a guideline, to make sure if things that are supposed to straight horizontally were not "bent/curved" it can be a bit hard to tell sometimes but i'd say for most people it'ts not a problem.

[@dubbs1923]

The most real review I've seen so far. I'm a dual monitor guy who is wanting to upgrade to an ultra wide curved monitor for finance/data analytics. I don't care about all the fancy tech because I'm not focusing on editing videos. But I do need to have crisp monitor to view lots of data in spreadsheets. For those analytic/coders out there...do you use an ultra wide monitor? If so, how do you like it and what size are you using? I need at the very minimum to be able to split the screen into 2 but prefer 3 so I can compare all of my spreadsheets and coding I do. For home I use a MacBook pro but for work I use a dell laptop. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. And oh yeah, if LG wants me to test it out for this reason, feel free to shoot me a message!

This is just about the only two 32:9 monitor that has IPS LCD screen panel with the other one being a Dell U4919DW. However, at $2,000 of which this monitor is currently selling in my country via Harvey Norman, I'd expect to have at least 90Hz refresh rate.

Hey Andrey :) is the curve a problem when working on project with man straight lines? Like architecture or graphic design/layouts.

[@AndreyLebrov]

Didn’t notice anything like that. It’s quite subtle and barely noticeable when working really, especially in the dark. Like batman

[@NOTH4R]

Actually it is, i tried curved ( ultra wide one ) on some pretty line-accurate projects. For me it ruined some pretty expensive pieces of steel designs by some good millimeters :( So i had to go back to a flat screen just to remake the whole 5 days of non-stop work....

[@williamleebuckley]

I have one of these, and my brain absolutely screamed about the curved lines for about a week. You honestly get used to it, and I think your brain starts compensating for it, and then its a fantastic experience. Just be ready for it to feel weird for a while.

99% sRBG not Adobe RGB? I don't think I could roll with that.

[@dasunweerasinghe2378]

It only has 10 bit (8bit + FRC) panel with 70% (approx) Adobe RGB and 74% (approx) DCI-P3 colours. But Samsung 49" CRG9 has true 10bit 95% (approx) Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 colors. But the Panel is SVA, not IPS. It doesn't have Thunderbolt support. so I am struggling these days to get a monitor that is perfect for Photography + Graphic Design + Productivity work + Gaming. Samsung came to the close one that I so far up to but I guess no one is perfect these days :D

Thanks for the great review and everything ;) How does this monitor work with Da Vinci Resolve? It's very picky about the screen configuration... Can you use Resolve's dual monitor setup with this monitor?

[@AndreyLebrov]

You can’t use dual monitor setup I’m afraid as for that you would need two monitors 😄 BUT it scales so well that you wouldn’t ever want to really. That was my first question to LG guys. All the sections are somewhat flexible so you can scale them up and down. Timeline is what I love the most

Im considering buying this monitor, but this is my current setup and I wanted to see if I can do nearly the same with this one. Currently I have two ASUS PB277 running on two MacBooks Pro using a KVM to switch between one computer and the other. With the KVM I can sync Video, USB Ports and Audio Ports that way I can work on either computer and be able to enjoy the same gear (wireless Keyboard, Wireless Touch Pad and wired speakers) on both computers one at a time. Will it be too much to ask to do a video in which you can show the KVM feature running with two Apple Computers? Also, thanks for the download links of the software to be able to use the KVM and On Screen Control.

Hi, nice video, as usual ! Can't wait for the next one ! It might sound like a useless question but I work alot with friends on project where we have to share our screen to each other. Is it possible to share only half the screen (to replicate a 16:9 ratio) ?

What happend to your BENQ PV3200PT? Do you still use it and would recomment it?

[@AndreyLebrov]

[@itseddiewong]

I read a review that said this screen is "equivalent of two 27-inch QHD (2,560-by-1,440-pixel) monitors placed side by side." Does that mean it's not as clear as 34inch Ultrawide with 3440 x 1440 pixel?. I've used an LG 34UM69G-B 34-Inch 21:9 (2560x1080) and did not like it. the 34inch 3440-x1440 was def better. Will this 49inch really be like looking at two 2560-1440 screens?

[@nounix]

does the power toys free software (to custom-split your screen into segments of your preference) work with mac too? Does the 1440 vertical resolution make the image look subpar in quality? How does the image compare to a macbook pro 15" display? Do the blacks look "washed out" (in relation to what they do on the MBP)? I read that for HDR video editing we should be looking into monitors with 1000 brightness level, but this only gives 350.. Does this mean it's not very bright? Will a wireless keyboard and mouse/magic trackpad be responsive fast enough? (It sounds very daunting to have the macbook pro in front of you and control mouse and keyboard on it while viewing things on a screen other than the MBP's which is right in front of you anyway if you use this monitor as a 2nd display to your macbook pro...) - but I am worried that if I use an external keyboard and mouse/trackpad, then there will be a noticeable delay). Is the 60HZ refresh rate a problem when video editing in Final Cut (or 3D rendering in it via the mO2 plugin for Final Cut or for Motion X)? I hope you can answer my questions! :)

[@jay-c2764]

hey great video dude! could you play on the one side ps4 and on the other using a macbook pro with the dual option?

The answer is: Only if you don't actually have space for an equally wide, but taller and 16:9 monitor.

[@pollloxxx]

hi man, , Sorry man , working in davinci resolve it detects it as if it were two screens with the splits modes ?, because I have a separate calibrated monitor, but I would like to add one of these, and activate the primary screen on one side and the secondary screen on the other half in that to be able to see the scopes and galleries and stuff. Or would I have to connect two cables to it to do that and davinci resolve recognize it as two displays? thanks!!

[@AndreyLebrov]

Davinci won’t work that way on this screen I’m afraid. It needs two separate screens

[@pollloxxx]

@@AndreyLebrov thanks bro

[@finitesound]

I've got the CHG90 49" and won't ever go back. Cheaper than the LG too, with a much higher refresh rate.

[@DidierWolfs]

The C49HG90 has a resolution of 3840 x 1080 pixels. The LG has 5120 x 1440. The C49RG90 has has 5120 x 1440. I'm considering this Samsunf C49RG90 or the LG 49WL95C-W. I'm concerning by the curbe of the Samsung that is more immersive, being at 80 cm from the monitot

[@finitesound]

@@DidierWolfs I've since upgraded to the CRG9. Higher refresh rate and same resolution as the LG. The curve is quite nice for gaming but not too much.

[@DidierWolfs]

@@finitesound do you use it also for productivity ? if so, what do you think about the curve for that purpose ?

[@finitesound]

@@DidierWolfs I do! It's amazing for video and audio work, as you have a ton of timeline real estate. People say the curve isn't great for graphic design where you might need a perfectly flat line. But personally I always edit with a grid so that's never been am issue for me. I find this monitor to be more productive than a triple monitor setup in most cases, since you have nearly the same real estate without the clunky bezels in the way. The crg9 is a large improvement over the chg9. The extra pixel count really helps the horizontal plane feel less cramped. 1080 just isn't enough, and works against the otherwise large panel. 1440 is a pretty good balance.

[@DidierWolfs]

@@finitesound Thanks for your comment. Hopefully, in the future, they will continue to improve the resolution to get more than 5120 x 1440. My use will be mainly work (long excel, replenishment softwares, etc and a bit of music production and video editing. I've had a hard time to get feedback on which curve for office work, since these 1800R screens are more used for gaming. But i've read and talked with people that told me that this curve is nice for office working. I guess, it also depends on how far away our head is from the monitor (1 meter in my case)
