LG Ultrawide 2 x 40WP95C-W 39.7" 21:9 Curved FreeSync 5K2K Review

You get two massive 5K2K curved ultrawides for $3000, making for an incredibly sharp and immersive dual-screen setup. The display quality is best-in-class (98th percentile), but gaming and creative performance are underwhelming. It's a great deal if you want sheer screen real estate, not cutting-edge specs.

This bundle throws two LG 40WP95C-W monitors onto your desk, which is a lot of pixels. Each screen is a 39.7-inch curved Nano IPS panel with a 5120 x 2160 resolution, landing in the 98th percentile for display quality in our database. That's a massive amount of screen real estate, and the 21:9 aspect ratio is perfect for productivity and cinematic content. But this setup is about more than just size. It's a bundle deal, so you get two of these high-end monitors, plus a cleaning kit and extra cables, for a total price of $3000.

The display quality is the star here. That 98th percentile ranking means these are some of the sharpest, most expansive screens you can get. The 5K2K resolution on a curved ultrawide is stunning for detail. However, the overall performance score sits in the 38th percentile, which is middle of the pack. That's because while the screen is gorgeous, other aspects like refresh rate and gaming features aren't leading. It has AMD FreeSync for smoother gaming, but the gaming score is only 47.1 out of 100. For creative work, it scored 34.9, which is underwhelming. So it's a powerhouse for viewing, but not a specialist for high-speed gaming or color-critical work.

At $3000 for two monitors and some accessories, the value proposition is interesting. You're getting two premium, large-format 5K2K screens. Buying one of these monitors alone typically costs around $1500, so the bundle essentially gives you the second one at no extra cost if you ignore the cables and kit. That's a good deal if you need a dual-ultrawide setup. However, you have to want two of the same monitor, and you're locking into a spec that has some clear weaknesses in performance and features.

Compared to a gaming beast like the ASUS ROG Swift 27" 4K 240Hz, this LG setup has a much bigger, sharper screen but a far slower refresh rate. The ASUS is for competitive gamers; this LG is for immersion and workspace. Against the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, you get two separate screens instead of one seamless super-ultrawide, which might be better for multitasking across distinct applications. The Dell UltraSharp 27" 4K is a more balanced workhorse with better ergonomics and likely better color accuracy for creatives, but you'd need two of them to match the LG's total screen area, which would cost more.

Skip this bundle if you're a competitive gamer needing high refresh rates, a creative professional requiring top-tier color accuracy, or someone who values portability. Its gaming and creative scores are weak, and it's one of the least portable monitors we've tracked. Also, if you don't need two identical massive screens, buying a single, more specialized monitor is a better use of your budget.

This bundle is a niche winner for someone who wants an enormous, detailed, dual-monitor workspace for general productivity and media consumption, and who values screen size over cutting-edge performance. The display quality is top-tier, and getting two for $3000 is a solid deal. But we can't recommend it for serious gamers or color-accurate creative work, given its middling scores in those areas. It's a luxury productivity setup with some compromises.
