LG 34WK95U-W 34" Class 21:9 UltraWide 5K2K Nano IPS LED Monitor with HDR 600 (34" Diagonal)

The monitor is expensive, but fully loaded for what you get assuming you have the right device to drive it. I’m unfamiliar with Windows, but natively on my newer Thunderbolt 3 MBPs everything worked out of the box with no issues on the resolution. Scaled perfectly, and a true ultra wide 4K monitor (33% wider, at 200% scaling compared to a 27” 4K display) which is exactly what I was looking for. Because the monitor is straight and ultra wide, the edges look a bit far. Quality and design of the monitor is top notch. The stand is made of metal. As is the bottom of the height adjustable stand post. Top has a plastic cover, and the back is a nice matte white. I wish the cable connectors were a bit hidden, because the way my desk is positioned you can see the back of the monitor. Small design complaint. Front of the monitor is beautiful, no buttons or markings. The top, and the side bezels are similar thickness, the bottom is slightly thicker (1-2mm). The one button/joystick control is intuitive and easy to use. The monitor is not cheap though, you can purchase 3-4 27” 4K monitors with USB-C connectors for the price. It’s more than the LG ultrafine 5k for Apple displays. But if you’re looking for a single display solution, in a well built single cable connection package, this is a good choice to shortlist.

I use this for working from home, and it was an excellent choice. Large screen space lets me work on multiple applications at once. It's not quite the screen space I have with two 27" monitors at work, but it is enough space for working in town applications at once as long as you don't have something like a really wide spreadsheet open. I have a Macbook Pro 15" from 2017 and it has worked perfectly since I purchased it a couple months ago. I use the provided usb-c cord (which LG direct you to use) and there have been no issues. It keeps the MacBook charged while plugged into the monitor. The colors are bright and the picture is extremely sharp. It has a matte finish and good brightness, so glare is not a problem if you have a desk lamp. It is quite easy to setup out of the box and it comes with all the necessary cables to get started. The one issue I have is that it does not let me use my volume wheel on my keyboard to adjust the monitor's volume, rather I have to use the button on the monitor itself to raise or lower the volume. A small annoyance.

More Customer Service updates: LG said that they will fix and send back the monitor, but they don’t know when, and since they drop the monitor and have body damage now, it will be send with aesthetic unpleasant look, because their policy doesn’t cover that, and there is no refund for it. Oh boy it’s impossible to hate more a company than I’m right now after hearing that. That’s a complete disregard to consumer rights! This company is the worse! DO NOT BUY! The monitor get some panel problem in 3 months of use, then went to warranty repair, came back after a month totally broken with signs of drop by the side and front glass trashed. I send back in the next day and it's being another month without no sign, no email, no calls from LG nothing. I already bought a replacement and I want my money back, therefore LG support simply stop answering my messages, they don't refund, neither sent the fixed monitor back. Avoid this headache, don't buy it! Original review: I bought my about 3 months ago, I've already contacted LG for support, they will send a box to my address and I'll need to ship it to get it fixed. A day before 3 months with this monitor it start a weird behavior, suddenly the USB-C stop working as display, it still chargers my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't recognized it as a connected display anymore. Then I added the DisplayPort cable, it worked, and I noticed many horizontal lines in the screen (see the pic) it goes all the way like that. My first though is that could be cable or something else, so I disconnected everything and restarted the monitor, in the settings menu of the monitor I can see that horizontal lines, well, it's not because of anything connected, the monitor simply is gone. Very annoying to need to do the support process to get it fixed, but the hard part is that I use it professionally and I can't stay without a secondary monitor, then I'll need to buy another replacement while this is being fixed. --- UPDATE 2020-01-06 --- After about 20 days waiting, they've sent the monitor back. As you can see in the pictures, there is one with the dead pixels screen, then two pictures showing the perfect state that I send the monitor in the box, and the last picture is how I turned on once it came from the service. Clearly the monitor was damage either by the service or by the UPS transportation. Despite the FRAGILE stickers all around the box, once I turned on, that broken image was everything that lasted from this screen. Also LG support system is so broken that it doesn't store the apartment number, so the guy from the UPS went all the way to talk with the manager to find my apartment, that was added to the ticket, online and by phone. I'm waiting they send the new label to send it back and hopefully they will send me a working unit, therefore I have not much expectations for that, probably I will need to go to Apple and buy their new monitor since LG might take too long and I need it to work. Unfortunately I can't recommend, specially because of the poor durability and abismal lack of support from LG.

5K resolution and ultra-wide aspect ratio give me all the screen real estate I need for editing and multitasking, especially in DaVinci Resolve. It works seamlessly with my Mac Pro via Thunderbolt 3, and the color accuracy (DCI-P3 98%) is outstanding for color grading. The build quality feels premium with its metal stand and sleek matte-white finish. I did notice some mild image retention after long, high-brightness sessions, but lowering contrast and using a white screen saver cleared it up. Overall, it’s an expensive monitor, but it’s delivered exactly what I needed for my workflow.

I admit, I gambled a bit on this one, as all of the reviews and videos seem to cite several problems with this display. Fortunately, I haven't experienced any of the ones I've read about! This is my first ultrawide monitor so some of this review may reflect that. First, I love the size. 34" is just wide enough to fit plenty of windows while not being problematic with being flat instead of curved. I have the scaling set in macOS to look like 3360x1417 and can comfortably fit three browser windows without it being weird. The resolution makes text just as sharp at the 5K Planar monitor I was coming from. I haven't noticed any negative impact from the anti-glare coating, which was a huge problem with my Dell 4K monitors. Colors are, of course, beautiful before and after calibrating. Hardware calibration is a plus and their calibration software was very easy to use. The speakers are pretty surprising. Before this monitor I had been using my 2018 Macbook Pro's speakers in clamshell mode. Needless to say, that sounded pretty bad. The speakers in this monitor sound slightly better than that. One downside is that volume control doesn't work from the OS, but you can work around this by controlling the volume through EDID with software. I haven't noticed any image retention, wake from sleep works fine, macOS 10.14.5 recognized it without problems, no random blackouts, no dead or stuck pixels. All of the negatives I'd read before are thankfully not happening here. I'll note that this particular monitor was manufactured in March of 2019 and their software says the firmware (I assume?) is version (3.02, 2.14). It's possible there was a bad batch or a firmware update, not sure, but so far so good! Now, it all isn't roses and sunshine! I did experience a problem. While plugging in with the Thunderbolt 3 cable worked fine, using DisplayPort with an eGPU was less fine in macOS. Without going into too much detail (though I could if it would help someone), a simply plist override in macOS will make the OS detect the correct resolution through DisplayPort and everything works perfectly.
