The SUPER UltraWide Desk Setup | LG 40” 5K Curved Monitor
#ultrawide #desksetup #homeoffice - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hey friends! I’ve seen lots of questions around the monitor arm, so I’ve shared it all below:
🦾Heavy duty monitor arm: bit.ly/3atp5kL
🍃Desk setup: kit.co/AndrewEthanZeng/the-home-office-setup
Demo the arm too.
8:59 really hurt to see! There's a philips screw bit right next to you and yet you choose to use the flathead? Why? Dope screen though
Having just changed from two curved 32in Samsungs to the G9 Neo 49in, I'm intrigued by this, and what may be coming round the corner at 49inch (or more!). I'm aware that in many ways, the G9 Neo is the daddy of gaming monitors, but I bought it because I was tired of the central bezels on a dual monitor setup, and having read other comments on here, I think ultra wides are going to be my purchases of choice from now on. It's been tough to get used to the decreased resolution (particularly from 2160 to 1440), but it's a worthwhile trade off I feel....until someone brings out a 49 or bigger that's got 4 or 5k. Thanks for the video.
You're workplace is always spot on, but using a flat head bit on a philips screw at 9:00 nearly killed the video for me (just kidding).
09:00 jesus christ the right screw bit IS RIGHT THERE MAN
Right! What the heck?!
😂
Two month report... Absolutely do not regret buying this for my WFH desk setup.
Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I am commenting because I think (not positive) that at the end, you say that LG gifted you the monitor. I do believe that this should be at the start of the video and that it should be clear to the audience. While you may not call it a review, the commenters are calling it a review and it follows a review format. Thank you 🙏
I appreciate such tech videos. Good job Andrew
I have the arm you showed, I was delighted to see this as it gave me really good perspective on what the LG would look like on my desk. Thanks.
The setup is so clean, and the monitor is a beauty! I might get an ultrawide now that I'll be WFH most of the time at my new workplace:D
Great video. I've been looking at upgrading my desk setup and your videos are great!
I got this monitor last week. I love it! Finally no more complaints about not enough space. I do photo and video edits.
Great to hear! Hope it works for you!
Gorgeous looking monitor, and i love the size in between my current 34" and ideal 49"...too bad it doesn't have a higher refresh rate. [superwider]
The “strange” 72 Hz refresh rate is also nice for editing classic cinematic 24p footage without having to reduce the display refresh rate to 24 or 48 Hz to avoid video stutter but is annoying for mouse movement in the user interface.
Great review, thanks for sharing! As a software dev, been keeping an eye on this one, and have the same AW3821DW as you/ My one concern is the 5K res which might resolve text too small for these tired eyes without upscaling. Hmm, this, or add a 2nd monitor to my AW (not as clean though). Subbed!
Would love one of these. Think I could live with the limited 300nits brightness in my office which doesn't have too much direct natural light.
I'm currently running the LG Ultragear 32" Nano IPS., So far so good! After seeing all the reviews about this LG 40" 5k2k Monitor. I told my self to order one the next day! lol I Can't wait next week to get here!
Enjoy it!
hi Andrew, I just ordered one yesterday, should get it in a few days, I hope this monitor is good! thanks for this video
Price is $1800 btw just in case you're wondering
Anything over $500 is not worth it computer parts are much better at that point
How hard is it to mention that on the video like seriously.
It's dropped to less than half that price nowadays for comparable screens. How technology marches on
Can’t wait for a few years more where qd-oled merges with 38/40” monitors and 4k display. That will really be the best of work and play
Ultrawide 4K @ 240hz. It'll be marvelous.
Its here
Thanks for the video. Were you able to run the games at the screen’s native resolution or did you have to choose a lower resolution for games?
Picked a pair of these up at Microcenter a few weeks ago, and they are pretty solid to say the least. No gaming really, but the color profile and accuracy are right up there at the top of the list. TB4 works great on the latest MoBo's and laptops, so you have to consider de-cluttering as a major selling point beyond just a bigger screen. Put it on the list if you're screen shopping right now!
The brightness looked a little too dim for my taste. Do you have any issues with brightness?
Yeah do you have any problems with it being too dim?
At long last, you've ascended beyond Ultrawide master race. Haha but for real, your other video a year ago convinced me to buy a 21:9 ultrawide monitor, now I also want to buy a ridiculous sized display. Once you go ultrawide, you don't go back. Great review.
hahah +1 for dragon ball reference
Cool monitor, will probably get one - ... but what was the model of the new heavy duty white monitor arm you replaced the DELL one with? I couldn't see that in the description (yet)
I hope LG takes their Dualup concept and brings it to the world of ultrawides. I'm thinking on the lines of a 30" Length , by 32" height monitor. The Dualup is a great productivity monitor but it's a not a so stellar content consumption device. You could divide that monster up horizontally so you could play video games on on an ultrawide resolution on the bottom half and use the upper half for conducting your streaming.
Love the review and setup! May I ask which monitor arm this is?
Hi mate,
Great video! ☺️ I’m looking to get the LG 5K2K myself, where did you purchase the heavy duty monitor arm? Can’t seem to find it!
Cheers!
that. is. awesome.
Hi !
Nice to start to see reviews about this new monitor.
Could you please let me know if there is a fan inside, and if it is noisy ?
I bought an AUS ProArt 32 inches, and this monitor is unusable in a quiet environment due to the constant disturbing fan noise. I want to avoid to buy yet another noisy monitor.
Thanks
Does it have grayscale retention?
For instance, placing a window on a gray background for 10 minutes, move the window and you might see the frames of window stuck on the gray scale background
Great video😊
Great review Andrew! #superwider
hey bro! Great desk set up! I love it! Would you mind sharing where you got the desk from and what size it is? Looking to purchase this LG monitor and have my MacBook Pro 16" and iPad Pro on the desk. Just want to know what size desk to get.
Thank you in advance!
I was wondering where you got the vase with the flowers and what it's called? I love the estatics of it!
Andrew, where can I buy the shelve you placed under the monitor. I have got a 43" LG and I need to organize the workspace better. Great video !!!
which grovemade desk shelf do you like better and recommend the most? walnut ply, solid walnut or the new black?
What a beauty! Surrounded by 5K goodness would be a win for work and gaming. What's the best size for ultrawides is 40" too big for the typical joe?
You'll be set with most ultrawides above 32" that fit on your desk (and budget)
I dont think this would be great for gaming, it is only 72hz Refresh rate.
Can you give me a link for the new white monitor mount. You listed the black Dell mount, but not the newer stronger white mount. Great video. Thank you.
Is the grovemade walnut desk stand 100% walnut or is it a laminate? I can't tell from the info on their website.
Is this better than the studio display? I have been going back and forth all week.
Mind linking to the heavy duty monitor arm alternative?? Please & thank you!!!
who makes the heavy duty monitor arm in white that you upgraded to? i don't think you said the manufacturer's name
What is the brand and model of the electric drill / screwdriver you used? I didn't find it in the products list in the description.
One day we will be allowed to hook up another port and get higher refresh rate. Would love this beauty but really need my 120hz+ refresh rate even across desktop use. It’s just so nice and smooth
Thats why I'm looking at the new Samsung S95UA 49" with 120Hz. 5120x1440 though but I can live with that.
Did you test the adobeRGB colour gammut coverage? If so would you share the result please?
What about PPI? Are you using Mac native resolution or upscaled? If it’s on native, can you read the text comfortably? Isn’t it too small? Thanks.
Hi there, and thank-you for your video.
I just bought a new MacBook Pro 14inch and I’m looking for a big wide monitor - no gaming just for work productivity.
I don’t use a Caldigit hub, I only need to connect the MacBook. I just want a monitor that will simply just connect, and charge, my MacBook Pro 14 with one Thunderbolt cable between the two. Is this the way it works?
P.s what screw driver it that?
Thank-you in advance.
I have the LG-38wn95c but I had to return it to Best buy since my USB C connecter broke off. I did get a credit for the monitor should I upgrade it to the 40-inch. I use it with M1 PRO Macbook 14' and Desktop PC which has a 3080. I don't really game but I do use it for work heavily. Data Tools and web conferencing. Should I go for the upgrade? or the Oled C2 42 inch
Can't wait to get immersed in my Excel spreadsheets
This monitor will make you...SQueaL (terrible pun soz)
huh wondering when we will get a gaming version? 144 with 12 bit color?
Can you charge a macbook pro 16 m1 just with the thunderbolt connection? And would not it be worse for the battery than charging the macbook with the actual official charger?
you should try a 32:9, its glorious!!
Uff this monitor is so sweet…
Hello, is there a point for me to get one of these when I have a nuc with a processor that can only handle up to 60 hz?
Flat blade bit in a phillips head screw? Bound to cause damage. Always use the correct tool for the job.
How did your Mac handle the scaling of this monitor? Was text sharp?
Which vesa stand for you use (the white one)? Any affiliate link available? :)
I just ordered one right after learning about its low peak brightness. Not super stoked about that.
Link to the monitor arm?
Who else got a panics attack when he started driving a Philips screw with a flat screwdriver bit?
what monitor arm are you using?
Thanks-- I just got one today and returned my two Apple Studio monitors. Trying to find the ideal setup and scaling for a Mac. Are you using the 5k setting or did you scale it down? Can you provide a link to the visa mount for this display? Also are you using both TB ports on the monitor and how did you set that up in the settings?
Hi, Could you please share your experience with this monitor? for me it is currently either the Studio Display or this one. Would love to hear your experience. Difficult to decide...
@@leonpjhb I had both-- I really loved the 40" with 2 TB4 ports-- i just couldnt get the scaling to work for me. I was able too get 5k2k but the text was too small and the next scaling option I thought the text was too big and defeated the purposed. I love the look, speakers, design of the Studio but really miss the wide screen. For now i went back to my curved Samsung 34" Tb monitor that i have had since 2018. Still a good monitor for $699. I need to wait to see if Apple fixes the scaling or comes out with a wider monitor themselves.. The one monitor that did scale and work for me was the LG 34" TB 5k2k-- I didnt like the straight screen compared to curved so I passed on that.
@@chicagobob thanks for that! I appreciate your reply. I might save myself some hassle and go for a 34” curved 1440p after all…
Missed your post!
Not sure which laptop you have but fir M1 Max 16 inch, it requires 140W power for charge. Then do this monitor can cause harm to MacBook as it delivers less power from thunderbolt port ?
which monitor arm did you use? it's not the one from the links.
8:51 Did you use a flathead bit on a Philips head screw?
Wi see many asking the same without response. We want to know what monitor arm did you upgrade to? The link in the description is the dell. Please…
Superwider!
So whats the name of the new white monitor arm? you put the old one linked below instead
Where did you buy the white monitor mount?
i am thinking of getting a 49" no 49" is capable of 5k, not even 4k, so is it worth to get the extra 9" and not even be 4k? i mean it is like having 2- 27" monitors..... was thinking of getting that Monoprice 49" Dark Matter $799 thoughts?
I have the 49-inch LG monitor personally. The resolution of this one sounds like it would be a dream to work on. Just feel like the text would be hard to see for me personally as I already have occasional difficulty with my current panel.
This monitor has higher pixel density? So it should be way easier to read text.
Ignore the question mark.
Which arm did you end up using?
yo, you had the correct philips-head bit.... c'mon
What monitor arm are you using?
I need this flat and glossy. Please!
If only LG would actually release this monitor outside the US then the rest of humanity could actually buy it!
i just ordered mine in Aust
Best Buy Canada has it
with 120hz and VA type panel I would get it
How would you make use of the extra screen space? Hope you have a great day! 👋
interesting find! i don’t think i’d ever drop that much on a monitor but if i did have the ability to do so, i’d definitely take advantage of the screen real estate in premiere pro and when i need to multitask!
@@vivi-vw8jd bigger editing timelines for the win
Yea I guess this would be good for video editing - but its really annoying how much influence TH-camrs are having on the industry - Programmers outnumber Tuber 1000-to-1 - What we need is monitors for working with documents - I want 5K x 4K - at 200% - the same way Apple did 5K - this rez really makes no sense imo - it makes things far to small.
Which Monitor Arm did you use here? I am searching for one for my super ultra wide... In the list above is the Dell one.
I definitely could use the screen space as a developer. I have multiple windows open in parallel (more than 1 instance of IntelliJ, Webbrowser, Terminal, Build Server, etc.). Switching between Windows is a pain in the ... during work.
What were the lights behind the monitor?
What is the monitor stand called ??
Write a link to the new monitor arm pls 🙂
What's the exact model of the white Monitor mount arm please 🙏?
Hi, which heavy duty arm are you using? Could you please provide me with a link? Thanks a lot
That’s what I wanna know too lol
at 4.19 you have a resolution selection on youtube going up to 4320p (8k) - i have exactly the same monitor as this.....how is this possible?
I was considering a 49-inch 5120x1440 monitor to secure a multitask work space, but the problem is that the vertical monitor length and resolution is limited (1440 - 36cm). Now, I’m exploring possibilities to use this 40-inch display with large vertical work space as the main monitor for multitask, together with a smaller 27 inch sub monitor which has similar vertical length.
I will use the sub monitor for MT4 (Forex software) and check it once every hour. That’s why I prefer this independent display + 40WP95C-W setup in stead of 49 inch super ultra wide monitor.
Do you have some advise to avoid problem for this two monitors setup of different size and resolution?
08:50 this triggers me...why are you not using the right bit? :D
May I know the white Color monitor stand arm name? Link?
Is it worth extra 1300 eur vs regular 4k 32"?
Does your m1 mac shows fuzzy text/fonts?
One thing that these reviews of 5k2k 40" monitors leave out is compatibility with macOS. In that, they aren't compatible at all unless you're happy to go with the native resolution (microscopic fonts and icons) or are willing to give up the screen real estate and use a resolution that Apple can support (in this case, the next lower resolution is 3008x1269. Which is pointless. Because a 34" ultra wide at standard resolution is 3440x1440.
We seem to be in a weird place right now where if you want a bigger screen for a Mac, and want a screen that has a higher resolution for better clarity, you have to go for a 218PPI display which is only available as a 27" 5K screen (LG Ultrafine or Apple Studio Display...starting at $1600 for the latter without a height adjustable stand) or a 32" 6K display (Apple XDR...starting at $5000, not including a height adjustable stand).
Huh, I am able to run 3360x1417 on both my M1 MBP 14 and 2019 MBP 16"
That's actually not right. The new Macs running on Monterey 12.3.1 or later can support the full 5120x2160 resolution via the Thunderbolt 4 port. Search "LG 40WP95C-W HighTechCheck" and go to the 12:30 mark.
@@brianfulda I know it can support for the full resolution. But it’s hardly usable. Text are way too small.
@@mrlqchen The newest Monterey update should have scaling options to let you run at full res scaled for bigger text/apps. Did you update to at least 12.3.1?
@@brianfulda Yes I am running 12.3.1 on both MacBook pros. Could you please elaborate on exactly which resolution to use?
what is the monitor arm?
Which monitor arm are you using?!
Imagine this monitor with a Displayport 2.0!
The limit without any DSC compression would be 194Hz (I like to be exact) at 10bit color, it'd be a gaming beast that would challenge new GPUs for the next 10 years!
And I don't think this is an unreachable spec for games, with DLSS/FSR constantly improving and for games that are not that demanding, this screen would be the best for productivity, movies and games even with today's hardware power.
What's the monitor arm?
best work monitor ever.
sucks for games though.
I need someone to drop a productivity focused OLED or Mini LED monitor. The Alienware OLED was a huge disappointment, and the Samsung G9 could have been good if it supported thunderbolt.
Looks just like my Dell U40Q21QW. 5kx2k resolution is amazing. Keep in mind the Macbook M1 cannot push out this resolution.
why not?
@@Fascinations746 I'm not tech savvy enough to explain it in detail. It is just not capable of managing it. I'm assuming it is an issue with its internal GPU specs
@@andRwhoo Thanks Andrew
Not true. My 2021 MacBook Pro M1 pushes out full resolution via Thunderbolt 4 on this monitor. He's even doing it in this very video. But...some people believe what they wanna believe. Plenty of other videos on TH-cam to back my claim.
Have you noticed any issues with macOS scaling?
The 5K ultra wide market is nigh empty, so the price can be whatever LG wants. Which is fine, I guess, I love the workloads this unlocks. I just wish there was a 500 nits or higher option.
