Ultra is Definitely the Appropriate Name
--- SETUP --- For the size and heft of this monitor, this was a pleasantly surprised easy installation. There are 3 main components you need to connect: The monitor, the monitor stand, and the leg base. Installation doesn’t even require any additional tools like a screwdriver. --- FEATURES --- Refresh rate of 240Hz, native resolution of 5120 x 1440, response time 1 millisecond, FreeSync compatible, 49 inches of screen, 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, 1 Displayport, Contrast Ratio 3000:1, LED, Aspect Ratio 32:9, Curved Screen, 450 candela per square meter, HDR includes HDR10-VESA Certified-DisplayHDR1000, 3 USB ports, 2 USB-C ports, tiltable, weight: 32 pounds, --- PERFORMANCE AND EXPECTATIONS --- This monitor arrived in a humongous box! It was necessary to protect it from all the traveling it had to do during delivery. There is a specific way to open the box, so find the instructions that tell you were to open the box from, as the box itself is part of the assembly instructions. Upon opening the box, I removed the monitor and was pleasantly surprised to only find 3 main parts to work with. Install the stand to the monitor while the monitor is safely facing down in the box. Then, install and screw the legs to the stand using the included screw, which can be tightly turned by hand. Lastly, use the box as leverage to help you get the monitor standing on the floor. Once the monitor is standing on the floor, it makes it easy to safely remove the box from the actual monitor. To safely carry the monitor, it requires two people. It only weighs 32 lbs, but you don’t want to apply pressure on the monitor itself and damage it. The monitor is amazing for all things I tried it on. Being a gaming monitor, I tried it with games I already had installed. For reference, I play games on a PC with the following specs: Processor

Awesome Monitor
LG makes a great product here, I was gaming pc on a 70in LG tv for a long time, but i wanted something with a faster refresh rate and that was meant for gaming. This monitor is massive, screen is super crisp, works great. Button does feel a bit cheap but other than that i lovrit. The Fedex driver did drop ot when delivering but bestbuy did right by me for the mishap

This monitor is the most engaging screen I've seen
I got this monitor for me and my wife, who works from home 2 days a week (and some weekends). When I told her we would get a 49-inch monitor she almost spit out her pasta before I finished my sentence. She didn't think we needed something so gigantic. She was used to using her laptop as one screen and our 27-inch monitor as her other. It worked for her because she was used to it, but I knew better. She needed a bigger monitor for what she was doing, and I was excited for her because I knew how much of a game-changer it would be. The package the monitor comes in is humungous. I couldn't believe my eyes when the delivery was dropped off. I pulled it into the house, and once again, my wife shook her head in protest. I told her not to worry about it. I'd unbox it, set it up, and prepare everything for her to test. It took about 30 minutes for me to get everything the way I wanted. I'm a slow unboxer, too. I make sure I organize the recycling as I go. The space we have for this monitor is perfect. I measured before I ordered it to ensure we'd have enough room, and while it was tight, I confirmed that we had enough space before ordering. The stand is hefty, as it should be with such a big monitor, but luckily, the feet aren't too intrusive to the desk space. We're considering getting a free-standing arm for the desk, but it's not necessary so far. It may be for your set-up, though. I was in love when I fired the monitor up for the first time. The screen is gorgeous, and the real estate is on another level. If you think you have an idea of how the screen will look with your PC or Mac connected to it, you don't. You'll be blown away. My PC didn't automatically apply the correct aspect ratio, but you can play with what works best for you and your eyes. Speaking of your eyes, getting used to as you perform your usual tasks will take time. You'll notice how "engulfed" you'll be within the visuals. The curve design isn't for everyone, and before setting it up, I was nervous I was one of those people who wouldn't like it, but after using it, I quickly found out it helps with engagement quite well. It wraps around your POV to give you that whole experience as if your head is in a VR helmet. It's wonderful. We have another workspace downstairs. And with that monitor, we have an LG OLED 27-inch screen that I absolutely love. I wondered how an LED screen would match up against the beloved OLED, but the 49-inches don't leave me missing the OLED. Maybe it's because it's so big that I can't compare apples to apples, but it's great that the screen is equal to the OLED in most aspects. Sure, the blacks on this LED aren't as black, but the colors are still gorgeous and vibrant. As soon as you get it set up, you must install "LG Onscreen Control." This is obvious if you read through the manual, which I'm sure most of us don't. You can download the control app from the monitor's driver list on LG's site. It's easy to find after you put in the model number. This app will allow you to set up your screen how you want. Do you want a quarter of your screen on YouTube? And the rest of the screen, your email? You can do that. You can divide up your screen how you desire with the app, and it's super easy to do once the application is installed. My wife's Mac and PC were straightforward to set up with. That's where this monitor really shines. You can have 3 screens in one and not feel like you have to squint to read anything. It really is a game-changer. My wife loves her set-up after working a single day with the monitor. She said she wished we'd have gotten something like it long ago. I knew she'd love it. This is simply a game-changer. And with LG's quality, you can rest assured you're getting a product that doesn't have quality control issues. This monitor is fantastic. And it's less than you'd think. It regularly goes on sale for less than $1000. Even at the MSRP of $1300, it's worth it. My 27 LG OLED monitor was $1000, so to think you can get almost twice as much screen real estate for $300 is wild. I do wish it came with a remote, as some monitors do. I've gotten used to changing settings, inputs, and such with a remote downstairs on the OLED. I'd also like for them to have added speakers to the monitor. I use external speakers, but adding a speaker to the bottom of this beast would have provided some excellent, engaging sound. It also doesn't have a USB-C display input, which is a shame. However, you'll have no issues with the two HDMI inputs. My previous monitor only had one, so we had to constantly switch it whenever we switched between my wife's Mac and my PC. Trust me when I say you'll love this thing. It's a "gaming" monitor, but so much more. I've played a few games on it (Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077), and while I wish those games were formatted explicitly for the entire screen, you'll still be able to play with excellent visuals on the large screen (with black borders). There's virtually no delay, either. It's very impressive. The package the monitor comes in is humungous. I couldn't believe my eyes when the delivery was dropped off.

Great Monitor for both work and play.
Great monitor overall and really like all the customization options within the menu system. The only down side is the stand is a bit wobbly if you have a powered sit/stand desk as the desk is moving. Well designed and balanced. Every once in a while I need to power cycle the monitor to get it to power back up after being in sleep mode, however I think that has more to do with my graphics card and computer than this monitor.

Great Product
Super nice piece of technology, great for PC and MAC products, screen customization was easy to figure out, if you are looking for monitors for consoles, specifically Xbox, would advise you to reconsider only because XBox resolution isn’t compatible with that size of screen mostly because of the long screen, but other than that, super great product for productivity

Great Widescreen
great monitor. the size is prefect for over a desk. easy to setup and use.

Budget Samsung
It does what the samsung one does but doesnt look as cool. Also, the stand it comes with is not very stable and takes up a HUGE section of desk. Obviously, I know it has to be designed that way to account for the ridiculous size of the monitor but it is still important to consider. Also, the OSD kinda sucks and 60hz if you don't have HDMI 2.1 graphics card (which I guess is the 40 series)
