The LG 40WP95C-W is an ultrawide monitor with an uncommon 5K2K resolution, which has the same height as a 4k display, but 33% more horizontal screen space, so you can see more of your work at once. Like the Apple Studio Display, it's designed for professional content creators and uses LG's Nano IPS technology to display a wide range of colors. It also comes factory calibrated, so you don't have to worry about inaccurate colors. It's designed to simplify your workstation setup, and it has impressive connectivity options, including two Thunderbolt 4 ports. It allows you to daisy-chain two displays to your MacBook or laptop using a single Thunderbolt 4 cable while also charging your device.

Our Verdict

7.5 Mixed Usage

The LG 40WP95C-W is a good monitor for mixed usage. It's clearly for media creators or office users, with its ultrawide format, high native resolution, and fantastic colors. It has a slew of additional office features, including Thunderbolt 4 support and power delivery over USB-C. It delivers a decent gaming experience, and even though it's not specifically for that usage, it still offers a few gaming features, including FreeSync support. Finally, despite its amazing color gamut in HDR, it's just okay for watching videos or gaming in HDR, as it has low contrast, no local dimming, and low peak brightness.

Pros
  • Exceptional text clarity.
  • Impressive connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 support.
Cons
  • Low contrast, so blacks look gray in a dark room.
  • Slow response time.
8.0 Office

The LG 40WP95C-W is a great monitor for office users. The ultrawide aspect ratio and high-resolution screen are amazing 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 MacBook or laptop to your desktop setup. It has exceptional text clarity, and it's flicker-free, so you can comfortably work for many hours with minimal eye strain.

Pros
  • Fantastic SDR color gamut.
  • Exceptional text clarity.
  • Impressive connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 support.
  • Large, high resolution screen is great for multitasking.
Cons
  • Low contrast, so blacks look gray in a dark room.
7.2 Gaming

Although it's not specifically for gaming, the LG 40WP95C delivers a decent gaming experience overall. It supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, resulting in a nearly tear-free gaming experience, and it has great low input lag for a responsive gaming experience. The maximum refresh rate is low for serious gamers, though, and it has just passable response times, so it's not ideal for fast-paced action games.

Pros
  • FreeSync support.
  • Low input lag for casual gaming.
Cons
  • Low contrast, so blacks look gray in a dark room.
  • Slow response time.
  • Low max refresh rate.
7.5 Media Consumption

The LG 40WP95C-W is a good choice for watching videos. The large, high-resolution screen and ultrawide aspect ratio deliver a more immersive movie-watching experience. Colors look vivid and lifelike, and it has excellent accuracy out of the box. The image remains accurate to a moderate viewing angle, great for sharing your screen with someone else. Sadly, it doesn't look as good in a dark room due to its low contrast ratio, so blacks look gray in the dark.

Pros
  • Fantastic SDR color gamut.
  • Large, high resolution screen is great for multitasking.
  • Superb gradient handling.
Cons
  • No local dimming.
  • Low contrast, so blacks look gray in a dark room.
8.3 Media Creation

The LG 40WP95C-W is an impressive choice 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 out of the box, a fantastic SDR color gamut, and incredible coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. It also has impressive connectivity, with support for USB-C power delivery and Thunderbolt 4, so you can quickly connect your MacBook or laptop to your desktop setup.

Pros
  • Excellent color accuracy.
  • Fantastic SDR color gamut.
  • Exceptional text clarity.
  • Impressive connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 support.
  • Large, high resolution screen is great for multitasking.
Cons
  • Low contrast, so blacks look gray in a dark room.
6.5 HDR

The LG 40WP95C is just okay for HDR. It has an amazing HDR color gamut and impressive color volume, so most HDR content looks vivid and lifelike, and there's barely any banding in areas of similar color. On the other hand, it has low contrast, it can't get very bright in HDR, and it doesn't have a local dimming feature, so bright highlights don't stand out from the rest of the scene.

Pros
  • Amazing coverage of the DCI-P3 color space.
  • Superb gradient handling.
Cons
  • No local dimming.
  • Low contrast, so blacks look gray in a dark room.
  • Not very bright in HDR.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the 40" LG 40WP95C-W, which is the only size available. It's part of LG's UltraWide series of monitors designed for content creators and professionals. There are other models available in this lineup, some of which are listed below, but they all perform differently.

Model Size Resolution Power Delivery USB-C
40WP95C-W 40" 5120x2160 96W Thunderbolt 4 & USB-C
34WP88C-B 34" 3440x1440 96W USB-C

34WP65G-B 34"  2560x1080 No USB-C
29WP500-B 29" 2560x1080 No No

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, but it's not the most versatile. It's one of the best monitors available for content creators or even for office users. If this isn't your main usage or you don't need Thunderbolt 4 support, there are cheaper options available that are more versatile.

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

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. 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 even allows you to load a calibration profile to the display itself, 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 it's 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 and better text clarity, as well as better connectivity.

LG 32UL950-W

The LG 32UL950-W and the LG 40WP95C-W both target media creators, but the 40WP95C-W is better overall. 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 looks a lot like most other LG monitors. It has thin bezels on all four sides, so they aren't very distracting. The stand has a gray finish that looks a bit dated, but it still fits into a professional office setting well. The display has a gentle curve, which is great if you're used to flat monitors but don't need perfectly straight lines.

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, and dust could get trapped in it.

The LG 40WP95 has surprisingly good ergonomics for a monitor of this size. It's easy to adjust it to an ideal viewing position, and you can swivel the base a bit to show your screen to someone else. It can't rotate to portrait orientation, but most ultrawide displays can't. The back of the monitor is plain, with no standout design features, but it looks nice in a professional setting. There's a simple clip on the stand for cable management.

The LG 40WP95C has mediocre peak brightness in HDR. It's not bright enough for bright highlights in HDR content to stand out. It tracks the PQ EOTF well, but near-black scenes aren't quite black due to its low contrast ratio. There's a sharp cutoff at the monitor's peak brightness, resulting in a loss of fine details in really bright scenes. Overall, combined with its low contrast ratio and lack of local dimming, HDR doesn't add much.

These measurements are with the default HDR settings, in the 'Custom' Picture Mode with the Brightness at 'Max'.

The LG 40WP95C has excellent accuracy out of the box. The 'sRGB' Picture Mode is factory calibrated, and the overall color accuracy is great, with no significant issues. 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. The sRGB emulation mode does a great job locking colors to the sRGB color space, so they aren't oversaturated, but it also locks you out of almost all settings. If you want full control over the picture settings, the 'Custom' mode is the most accurate, but it's not factory calibrated, and there are more noticeable issues with colors and shades of gray.

The LG 40WP95C-W has a mediocre response time at the max refresh rate. There's very little overshoot with the recommended 'Normal' Overdrive mode, but most transitions are slow, resulting in a long blur trail around fast-moving objects. The 'Fast' and 'Faster' settings have a slightly faster rise and fall time but significantly more overshoot, so they're not as good overall. These results are fine for most desktop use, but they're not ideal for gaming.

The LG 40WP95C can't take full advantage of everything the PS5 offers, as it's not compatible with the PS5's VRR feature, and it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate with 1080p and 4k signals. The ultrawide aspect ratio isn't supported by the PS5, so you'll always have black bars on both sides of the screen. Although HDMI connections are usually limited to 30Hz on this monitor, when gaming from a console, the 4k resolution is low enough that a 60Hz refresh rate is supported.

The LG 40WP95C can't take full advantage of the Xbox Series X, mainly because it doesn't support a 120Hz refresh rate. 1440p @ 60Hz requires a manual override, so the variable refresh rate feature doesn't work. Although HDMI connections are usually limited to 30Hz on this monitor, when gaming from a console, the 4k resolution is low enough that a 60Hz refresh rate is supported. The ultrawide aspect ratio isn't supported by the Xbox, though, so you'll always have black bars on both sides of the screen.

Thunderbolt 4

The LG 40WP95C has impressive connectivity, with two USB-C ports that both support Thunderbolt 4. The high bandwidth of this port allows you to connect a second monitor to this one, with a single cable going back to your MacBook or laptop. You can also use this feature to connect an external storage device or external GPU, keeping your workstation clean and making it easy to quickly disconnect your computer.

macOS Compatibility

There are no significant issues when using the LG 40WP95C with a recent MacBook Pro. The variable refresh rate feature doesn't work, but sleep mode works properly, and everything returns to its original position when your wake your computer up. The 96W of power delivery is enough to keep most MacBooks fully charged, but some of the larger MacBook Pros require 140W, so this won't be enough to keep them fully charged if they're running under heavy load.

The LG 40WP95C-W 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.
