LG 40WP95CP-W UltraWide

Ever since LG announced it at CES 2021 (a year and a half between announcement and availability), I've been eagerly waiting for this homeworking/photo editing/video editing beast. As soon as it was available I ordered it. Mainly bought because of: * Thunderbolt 4 * 72Hz refresh rate * 5120x2160 resolution * the small curve that prevents your eyes from having to refocus continuously * daisy-chaining capability for the thunderbolt 4 port * picture by picture options (connect 2 sources at the same time) which is handy for my workflow So far, my experiences with the screen are positive, only when connecting a Macbook Pro you have to take into account that it switches to an HDR setting by default. However, this means that the contrast and brightness leave something to be desired. Disabling HDR is the only logical option for office work. The most convenient thing is that, if your laptop supports it, you can connect it with 1 (Thunderbolt) cable and it can both use the built-in USB HUB, charge your laptop and send the video signal all over that same (Thunderbolt) cable. Another tip, buy a monitor arm immediately, because the supplied foot just takes up too much space on your desk, keep in mind that it is a serious boy, so I also bought one for the monitor arm myself. Can carry 18kg as the monitor itself weighs over 10kg.

A nice screen in itself, but the construction feels cheap and less sturdy. Unfortunately, after 7 weeks the Thunderbolt / Uso-c port no longer worked and that is exactly what I had it for in combination with my MacBook Pro. HDMI still works, but it does not load and the quality is lower. I'm bummed.

I work full time at home with this screen (graphic designer). I was initially happy with the product in terms of quality and colors, but after a few weeks, the screen often (2-3 times a week) started to flicker enormously, accompanied by a beep from the back. That only goes away if I turn it off for a few hours. For that money I would have hoped for better. The button at the bottom of the screen also does not always respond. The back looks a bit 90s plastic, but it still stands against the wall. The foot takes up a lot of space, so it is better to use a brace.
