LG 49WL95C-WY Reviews
A great monitor with a few caveats
I was very excited to get this monitor and have enjoyed owning it. That being said there are items that you have no way of finding out how to do them using LG's website. I am on Windows 11 and they provide no drivers when you look the monitor up. I was after the ability to display two different computers side by side on this single monitor. LG's OnScreen Control app that they guided me to was incredibly worthless. I friend mentioned that I could get to the split screen view using the toggle cursor button on the back right side of the monitor (as you face it). To get to it, Depress the Cursor button once to bring up a circular center screen menu. Then toggle right to get to the Settings menu. Then move to PBP/PIP and click again. Here you can arrange the split screen in a variety of configurations. This works, but then there is no way in LG's tools to allow the mouse to cross from one computer's desktop to the other. I found that a Tool is available through the Microsoft Garage called Mouse without Borders. This enables the keyboard and mouse to cross from one desktop to the other as if they were one computer. Now having figured all that out I am a happy camper, but it was a frustrating process and I hope to help others avoid the frustrations I encountered.
Too large to be practical
49 is just too much. The point of an ergonomic monitor is... ergonomics- primarily, minimizing head movement. But this monitor is so wide I cannot clearly read text on the sides even by moving my head. I ended up just using the middle ~60% or so of the monitor (at which point I might as well get a 38-43 ultrawide monitor). At 49, you really need this monitor to be around 3-4' from your head, but most people don't have desks that deep. The ambient light sensor seemed like a good idea, and while it usually worked well, there's no option to set an offset. For example, it would have been nice to be able to have that auto-brightness functionality, but be able to boost or reduce the brightness in case you find LG doesn't know how bright you like your monitor given the ambient light. Also (and this happens with all of LG's monitors with ambient light sensors) if the brightness in the room is just right, it will constantly adjust from one brightness setting to another, since the ambient brightness is right on the threshold of those two brightness settings. It's one of those things you might just disable. LG should have the brightness adjust in small increments like a MacBook would, so that subtle changes in ambient brightness cause only subtle changes in the monitor's brightness. The stand, while a fancy rose-gold aluminum, is large and takes up a lot of depth as well as width on a desk. If you're taller than 5'6 or so, you'll probably wish the monitor would go higher on the stand and end up buying a VESA mount that allows the monitor to go higher, keeping the fancy stand in its box. The final issue I have with this monitor is that it's 60Hz. It's 2022. The monitor is (was) well over a grand. 60Hz is nonsense. I was able to overclock to 72Hz and even 75Hz, however at 75Hz LG displays this annoying out of range popup on the screen that doesn't go away. There is no way to get rid of it except to lower the resolution back to 60-72Hz. Another dumb move by LG. I'm glad to see the monitor is a third cheaper than when I bought it a few months ago, but it's still not a good choice. Go for something smaller and with a higher resolution and refresh rate.
So Disappointing
As a creative media director, I spent weeks researching to upgrade my monitor. This LG 49 appeared to be the best choice but quickly discovered I was wrong. Nothing wrong with image quality but every 15mins the screen will suddenly flicker off for 5 seconds. I have the new Apple Mac Studio MAX and its connected via USB-C. The other possibility is that I received a LEMON. Regardless, it is an extremely annoying problem.
