Color Accuracy

The LG 40WP95C-W is a premium ultrawide office monitor. With a 40-inch screen, 5k2k resolution, and 2500R curve, it competes with other productivity monitors with the same screen size, like the Dell U4025QW and the Lenovo ThinkVision P40w-20. It includes a USB hub, which features two USB-C ports that support 96W of power delivery, and Thunderbolt 4, which is ideal for connecting laptops that also support Thunderbolt 4. These ports even support daisy chaining, so you can easily connect a second screen directly to this one. Lastly, it has features for content creation, as it includes a Nano IPS panel and comes with a factory-calibrated sRGB mode.

Our Verdict

6.0 PC Gaming

The LG 40WP95C-W is mediocre for PC gaming. It has a limited 72Hz refresh rate, but it has VRR support to reduce screen tearing within a narrow range. It has low input lag for a responsive feel, but motion looks blurry as it has a slow response time. It also fails to make images look vivid and realistic due to its low contrast ratio, lack of a local dimming feature, and limited picture quality.

Pros
  • VRR support.
  • Low input lag.
Cons
  • Slow response time results in blurry motion.
  • Low contrast ratio.
  • Limited refresh rate and gaming features.
4.6 Console Gaming

The LG 40WP95C-W is bad for console gaming. It has limited compatibility with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as it doesn't have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take full advantage of them. While it has a high resolution for detailed images, it has limited picture quality due to its low contrast ratio and lack of local dimming. In terms of pure gaming performance, it has low input lag for a responsive feel, but motion is blurry because of its slow response time.

Pros
  • Low input lag.
Cons
  • Slow response time results in blurry motion.
  • Low contrast ratio.
  • Limited refresh rate and gaming features.
7.9 Office

The LG 40WP95C-W is very good for office use. The ultrawide aspect ratio and high-resolution screen are ideal for multitasking, as you can comfortably work with multiple windows open at once. It also has great connectivity, with USB-C power delivery and Thunderbolt 4 support, so you can quickly connect your laptop; it even supports daisy chaining. Unfortunately, it doesn't get bright enough to fight intense glare from bright sources, but it's still fine if you want to use it in a room with a few lights around.

Pros
  • Exceptional text clarity.
  • Impressive connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 support.
  • Large screen is great for multitasking.
  • Good for moderately lit rooms.
Cons
  • Not bright enough to fight intense glare.
7.6 Editing

The LG 40WP95C-W is good for media creators. The large, high-resolution screen makes it easier to see more of your workflow at once. It has impressive colors, with excellent accuracy, a fantastic SDR color gamut, and incredible coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, but you still need to calibrate it for the best accuracy. It also has impressive connectivity, with support for USB-C power delivery and Thunderbolt 4, so you can quickly connect your laptop. However, it doesn't get bright enough to fight glare in a well-lit room.

Pros
  • Excellent color accuracy before calibration.
  • Exceptional text clarity.
  • Impressive connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 support.
  • Large screen is great for multitasking.
  • Good for moderately lit rooms.
Cons
  • Low contrast ratio.
  • Not bright enough to fight intense glare.
  • Still needs full calibration for best accuracy.
6.4 Brightness

The LG 40WP95C-W has unremarkable brightness. Although it doesn't get bright enough to fight intense glare in very bright rooms or make highlights pop in HDR, it's still fine if you want to use it in a room with a few lights around.

Pros
  • Good for moderately lit rooms.
Cons
  • Not bright enough to fight intense glare.
  • Highlights don't pop in HDR.
5.0 Response Time

The LG 40WP95C-W has a bad response time, so motion looks blurry with noticeable smearing.

Pros
Cons
  • Slow response time results in blurry motion.
5.0 HDR Picture

The LG 40WP95C-W has poor HDR picture quality. With a low contrast ratio, blacks look gray in the dark, and it lacks a local dimming feature to further improve it. It also fails to make colors look vivid in HDR.

Pros
Cons
  • Low contrast ratio.
  • No local dimming.
7.2 SDR Picture

The LG 40WP95C-W has decent SDR picture quality. It displays a wide range of colors, but it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray in the dark.

Pros
  • Fantastic SDR color gamut.
Cons
  • Low contrast ratio.
8.6 Color Accuracy

The LG 40WP95C-W has excellent color accuracy. It has an accurate sRGB mode, but you still need to calibrate it for the best accuracy.

Pros
  • Excellent color accuracy before calibration.
Cons
  • Still needs full calibration for best accuracy.
  • 6.0 PC Gaming
  • 4.6 Console Gaming
  • 7.9 Office

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the 40-inch LG 40WP95C-W, which is the only size available. It's part of LG's UltraWide series of monitors alongside other models like the LG 38WN95C-W, but the other models perform differently, so the results are only valid for this monitor.

Model Size Resolution Power Delivery Connectivity
40WP95C-W 40" 5120x2160 96W 2x USB-C (Thunderbolt 4)

Our unit was manufactured in January 2022; you can see the label here.

Compared To Other Monitors

The LG 40WP95C-W is an impressive monitor designed for media creators thanks to a wide array of connectivity options, a large screen, and accurate colors. However, it isn't the most versatile as it's limited to a 72Hz refresh rate, so consider the Dell U4025QW if you want a similar option with a high refresh rate.

See our recommendations for the best monitors for MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, the best monitors for photo editing, and the best USB-C monitors.

Dell U4025QW

The Dell U4025QW and the LG 40WP95C-W are very similar 40-inch ultrawide productivity and editing monitors. However, the Dell is the better monitor. The Dell has features the LG lacks, like a KVM switch and the ability to subdivide the screen into multiple smaller virtual monitors for easier window management. The Dell also has better image quality, as deep blacks look less gray in a dark room on the Dell, and its 120Hz screen provides a more responsive experience.

Dell UltraSharp U4021QW

The LG 40WP95C-W is better than the Dell UltraSharp U4021QW. Both models target media creators, but the LG supports HDR, with amazing coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and the Dell doesn't support HDR at all. The LG also has slightly better connectivity, with higher bandwidth Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Apple Studio Display

The LG 40WP95C-W is a much more versatile monitor than the Apple Studio Display. Both models target creators, but the Apple monitor can only reach its maximum potential when used with a Mac. The LG works well with any environment and allows you to load a calibration profile to the display, ensuring you get an accurate image with any source. The LG also has better connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 support as well as HDMI and DisplayPort inputs.

LG 38WN95C-W

The LG 38WN95C-W is more versatile than the LG 40WP95C-W, but if you're a professional content creator, the 40WP95C-W is a better choice. The 38WN95C-W has a much higher refresh rate, better motion handling, and is a lot brighter, so it's a better choice for gaming or watching videos. The 40WP95C-W is better for media creators or office users as it has a much higher native resolution, better text clarity, and better connectivity.

LG 32UL950-W

The LG 32UL950-W and the LG 40WP95C-W both target media creators, but they're different. The 40WP95C-W has a larger, higher-resolution screen, meaning you can see more of your workflow at once, and it has much better accuracy out of the box. Finally, the 40WP95C-W has slightly better connectivity, with higher bandwidth Thunderbolt 4 support and two easy-to-access USB ports, so you can quickly connect peripherals like your mouse or a drawing tablet.

The LG 40WP95C-W has a simple design with thin bezels on all four sides, so they aren't very distracting. The stand has a gray finish that fits into a professional office setting well. The curve isn't aggressive either, which is great if you're used to flat screens and don't want an aggressively curved display.

Build Quality

The LG 40WP95 has great build quality. It's very sturdy, especially considering its size, and there's just a bit of wobble if you nudge it. Most of the body is plastic, and there's a bit of flex to it, but it still feels strong. There's a slight gap between the bezel and the panel, so dust could get trapped in it.

The HDR brightness is mediocre. Without local dimming, it doesn't get bright enough to make highlights pop in HDR. It tracks the PQ EOTF well, but near-black scenes aren't quite black due to its low contrast ratio. It also has a slow roll-off until a sharp cut-off at the peak brightness, so it doesn't let highlights get the brightest they can.

These results are from the 'Custom' Picture Mode with the Brightness at 'Max.'

The accuracy before calibration is excellent. The 'sRGB' Picture Mode is factory calibrated, and there aren't any significant issues as it locks colors well to the sRGB color space. The white balance is good, but very bright and very dark shades of gray are off. Gamma doesn't really follow the sRGB gamma curve, and most scenes are a bit too dark. However, the sRGB mode locks you out of almost all settings. If you want full control over the picture settings, the 'Custom' mode is the most accurate, but colors are oversaturated, as you can see here.

This monitor can't take full advantage of the PS5, as it's limited to only 4k and 1080p signals at 60Hz. Also, because the console doesn't support ultrawide gaming, you'll see black bars on the sides.

This monitor can't take full advantage of the Xbox Series X|S, as it's limited to only 4k and 1080p signals at 60Hz. However, you can enable the console's HDMI override setting to get 1440p @ 60Hz, but that disables VRR. As the console doesn't support ultrawide gaming, you'll see black bars on the sides, and the Xbox doesn't support HDMI with 1080p or 1440p signals either.

Thunderbolt 4

Each of the USB-C ports supports Thunderbolt 4, but they serve different purposes. One of them provides 96W of power, so you should use this one to connect a laptop and charge it at the same time. The other USB-C port is meant for daisy chaining, so you can easily connect a second screen directly to this one.

Inputs
macOS Compatibility

There are no significant issues when using this monitor with a macOS device. VRR doesn't work, but sleep mode works properly, and everything returns to its original position when you wake your computer up. The 96W of power delivery is enough to keep most MacBooks fully charged.

This monitor has a few additional features, including:

  • 10W Speakers: Like most monitor speakers, they aren't very good, and you're better off getting desktop computer speakers if you care about sound quality.
  • Picture-by-Picture mode: You can display the image from two sources in a side-by-side configuration.
  • Auto Brightness: There's an ambient light sensor on the top of the monitor that adjusts the brightness depending on the level of light in your room.
