LG UltraWide 49U950A 49" DQHD näyttö

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Screen is great and it has improved my productivity!

I’m a CGI/Viz Artist and I must say, this monitor looks and performs amazingly! It offers everything I need. It to me the most complete monitor in the market.

Ended up buying one for the office and another one for home office.

Highly recommend!

Great screen, perfect all rounder for productivity & gaming alike

Excellent, no issues except for maybe the monitor is a little too quick to go to sleep when it says there is no signal. I also found the 'dual controller' software to be a little buggy, but that's only needed if you want to try and control two computers at once with the same keyboard and mouse.

I didn't have the problem that 'SparkyUK' mentioned about power delivery. Connects to my Macbook Pro M1 via USB C power without any problems, and that's with a 2nd external monitor connected as well.

This screen is great, the inbuilt speaker produce more than satisfactory sound. Works great with a PC and Apple.

This is a nice screen, but I feel it needs a slightly better arc radius because it's a little too flat.

That aside, the main issues with this laptop are if you use the USB-C to power your computer. Nearly every time I wake my computer, the screen wakes up and I have approx 30 seconds of usage before it claims there's no signal, and then goes to sleep. This is not an issue of the computer as we've tried many of them. The only way to wake the monitor again is to unplug and replug in the USB-C cable (we're using the ones supplied from LG).

Additionally, we also have issues with items plugged into the USB host (using the USB-A ports) such as web cams. These are often not available after waking and we have to unplug them and then plug them in again after a moment - otherwise they don't appear available to the host computer.

There is clearly some issue with the monitor supplying power to UBC-C and USB-A ports. Once the power is removed the computers lock and then you have to unlock them (by opening the lid), logging in and then the external source works again. Doing this 3 or 4 times in a day for each monitor has made us realise we'll not buy from LG next time.

It's a real shame about these 49" monitors - we're not seeing this issue with a bunch of the 40" versions, but this model in particular is a massive pain to use with USB-C.

The bezel gap between the glass and frame is terrible, the outer bezel is wobbly with varying gaps between the frame and glass, and the monitor crecks like an old floor. Super disappointed 😞
