This REAL 4k Ultrawide monitor is EPIC | LG 34WK95U-W Review

This is LG 34WK95U-W 34” 5k2k ultrawide monitor and it's absolutely EPIC. It is called 5k2k because technically, it’s not a 5k display, because if it was, it would come with 5120 by 2880 resolution, but this being a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor, it comes with 5120 by 2160, therefore, LG and most people refer to it as 5k2k monitor. Think of it as a regular 4k monitor on steroids, offering 33% more real estate.


Ultrawide monitors nowadays are not uncommon, but this one is special because most ultrawide displays are quite poor when it comes to pixel density and sharpness. This one, however, is not. In fact, if it has one weakness it would be the 60hz refresh rate which automatically excludes it from the gamers list. This monitor, however, was never designed with the gamers in mind and LG markets this beast as the ultimate content creators display...and I think they nailed it.

Enjoy the video 👊🏻

Your macbook resoulation? What cable do you use on your macbook pro + this lg monitor

[fadedbyjac]

Do you recommend this over the LG 32UL950?

[PSYCHOVNM]

I hate how every other Tech YouTuber is FALSELY calling this monitor a 5K Ultrawide when in reality this monitor is a 4K Ultrawide monitor which THIS channel ACCURATELY states.

Bravo! 😎

Awesome review!
How would you update on a mac the firmware without installing the software?

[WillMarcouiller]

I'm looking for such a display for my new laptop.


Main usage is programming using Visual Studio 2019/Code, Remote Desktop, and some database management software alongside a few Word and Excel docs, some image editing but not a graphist at all, so no need for PhotoShop or the like.

So first question is: will my internal laptop graphic adapter be able to drive such a big 5K2K monitor?
Second question is: will it get tiring to have such a big screen before me all day long, or will it ease the strain on my eyes by the end of the day?
Third question is: does it allow for tiling windows to simulate multiple screens on a single monitor?
Fourth question is: why most of 4K ultrawide monitors only come with a 1440p resolution?

Because my wish is to use a single monitor just like I had six FullHD monitors, mostly. That is, three windows first row on top, and three other windows at the bottom, given an average equivalent of 6 1920x1080 screens on a bigger screen without putting to much restraint on my eyes.

Your answers and/or recommendations are appreciated.

lg 38wn95c vs lg 34wk95u which one would you say is the best all around monitor?

[hellofath]

Hi E! Between flat and curved ultrawide monitor which one if your pick and why?

[MichelMawon]

Thank you! Researching to replace dual monitor setup.The link provided actually says the monitor is $1549!

[alexandergoldman]

This is an awesome review...really well done. Question: have you used LG's CURVED ultrawide screens? If so, what do you personally prefer? Flat or Curved.. Thanks

[DenisMakarovPersonal]

Had problems with this monitor and returned it. Very well seen difference between left and right parts, left red right green tint on grey background. Check it before buy.

[dexterzhou]

Do you still recommend this monitor? Which one will charge MBP if I connect both the original charger and thunderbolt3 cable to the monitor?
