Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At a very simple level, the product meets and sometimes exceeds expectations. It's a beautiful monitor and has totally changed the way I work and play. I'm a little disappointed with the software. Especally Dual Controller. I was hopeful the softeware would have the capability of managing two computers seemlessly. There seems to be conditions that prevent a user from using that software when using a personal computer with a computer that's tunneled into a company's vpn. That work computer is on your network but not really. At least that has been my experience. I'm hopeful to see updates to LGs software that makes it more robust in the very near future.
Pros: Performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does not work with Macs!

This monitor does not work at 5120x1440 with Macs. My new Mac Mini and MacBook Air which both days they will support 5120x2880 do not work. Apple Support can’t figure it out and neither can the people at the Genius Bar. Clearly this was not tested before release.

Pick somewhere with a good return policy

I’ve been a user of the 34uc99-w for a while now and was very excited to get this to replace it. For those wondering how some reviewers have received the monitor, if you preorder early enough you will get it before online stores switch to showing general availability.
The monitor is huge, but not in a good way. The curvature is shallow such that you have to physically move your chair to comfortably see either side of the screen. Understandably, a more aggressive curve would distort the image, so perhaps 49” is just too wide. As another review mentioned, touching the monitor at all will shake it. It’s not a huge deal but perhaps a different stand design would help.
I returned it, unfortunately having to eat a $250 restocking fee. Will be looking at the 38” ultra wide instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lacking Industry Accessories
on November 24, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing monitor. I use this on a daily basis and have no complaints at all.
The issue I have with owning a 49" monitor is that compatible products are not yet in this industry. Finding a 49" desktop arm mount is impossible. The stock stand is sleek but the computer can be found "shaking" if you bump your desk or move it even slightly. The stability is the only thing lacking for this setup. Additional options to mount this massive beauty should be available or at least linked out to a company that does offer a compatible and sleek mount.

great screen estate without a noticeable curve

Got two of these marvelous screens. Before I used two flat 34 inch screens (LG 34UM95-P). When the 49 inch monitors arrived a few years ago I feared the curved screen.
Only lately I discovered the radius of the LG 49WL95C-W is considerable larger than other monitors on the market namely 3800mm vs 1800mm. Using the monitor with cad-drawing I can assure other draftsmen the curve is not noticeable at all. It helps nicely overseeing this wide screen saving the ratio of the drawings.
