LG - 49GR85DC-B

I recently purchased the 49 inch LG and have regrets - excellent picture but not curved enough for such a wide monitor. I’m forever leaning left or right rather than just turning my head.

Don't get an OLED, as good as it is for gaming and movies it is bad to read texts on. Samsung odyssey g9 or lg UW dual qhd, both are great

I had the LG 49" in the past, so I didn't think it had enough of a curve at that size, but I ultimately sold it. I only used it for productivity: work, coding, and analysis. I felt it was too short for coding, especially since it was 1440p and I didn't get enough use out of the left and rightmost 6" of the screen (again, mine wasn't curved enough). I really prefer my 40" 5K2K ultrawide over a 49" 1440p ultrawide since it's the same vertical size as a 32" 4K 16:9 monitor.

I am using an LG 49” 120hz curved monitor on my m4 Mac mini. Works fine. No issues, I’m using an 8k hdmi cable

The LG has all 3 so whatever you want.

Salut à tous, j'ai un mac mini m4 avec un écran LG 49GR85DC 5120 x 1440px. Je passe en HDMI mais la résolution n'est pas tip top, j'ai essayé de passer par un USBC - DisplayPort mais ça ne fonctionne pas (l'écran scintille) avez vous une idée de ce qu'il faudrait faire ?

what's the brand model of the current KVM switch used ? With good balance in performance and quality, LG 49GR85DC-B at 5120x1440@240Hz, you can use it as one ultrawide monitor or as two independent sharing monitors (with PBP setup). Attached is the [setup with KVM switch recommended](https://youtu.be/OSWA5INQGDM).

Have the 49” LG. It is an excellent productivity monitor and the 1000R curve is a must have.

Using the LG 49GR85DC for productivity right now. Absolutely the best choice I can imagine. It’s amazing! VA panel is fine for work, and the larger curve really removes distortion at the far edges. In budget too!

Just bought the similar LG 49 ultra gear with VA panel and 1000R curve for mostly productivity. I can afford OLED, but VA was the correct choice for my use case. It’s perfect for productivity and while games don’t look as great as my 6 year old OLED TV, I’m not worried about burn in, text looks fine for office use, and I generally don’t have to think about my screen or do any tricks to keep peace of mind.

I prefer a single ultrawide cause you don't have any bezel in the middle or a side monitor and a main one. I'm using a 49" ultrawide monitor (LG)

I've had an Ultrawide. Super Ultrawide completely changed my game. I’m still planning to add two extra 27-inch monitors on the sides for better peripheral vision, but the setup is already great. Also, Redditors convinced me to get the more curved LG UltraGear 49GR85DC 1000R monitor, and I’m very happy with it. I highly recommend that you get the same LG monitor. https://preview.redd.it/7vg97xg15xoe1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2db37263fed72fc1afaa8aa5f215c3348855825

Been an avid 21:9 user for like 4yrs and can't go back, only drawback is that I'm still in the OG 3440x1440 group and want a bit more crispiness to the text (OLED) and a smidge more screen real-estate. So far I've had the LG UltraGear, the Alienware one, then the Samsung G8 (current). Been eyeing a 5k 2k for a long time and curious to hear other reviews (if I get sent one LG, I will deep dive so hard into the things that I look for in a panel so be warned lol). OLED brightness, HDR, VRR, color banding are things that are very important to nail so praying ya'll nailed it. I used a Dell 32:9 (forget the model) and returned it within a week. Tried to make it work, but didn't like that it's a huge performance hit for the added peripheral you technically never use and for normal day to day, hurts my neck moving windows around. And thats before I get into getting games to do 32:9 was a nightmare vs 21:9. So sweet spot if you're a gamer imho is 21:9 -- perfect FOV to performance for modern mid-high end+ GPU's.
