Thank you for the compliments!

Yes, after going 21:9 I'm finding it hard to switch back to regular 16:9. (And 32:9 just feels a little too much). This 39.7 is perfect

Thanks you!

Thanks!

Dual sounds awesome!

Thanks! Haha yeah, I've also been enjoying this monitor a lot

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Lol, thanks! (Or take better camera angles to hide the messes)

Hahah, that sounds awesome. I think you might have gotten a better deal than I did. Enjoy the monitor!

@@kalestarler I would like to do coding and stuff on this monitor. How does the text look when connected to a MacBook Pro? What are the supported resolution/ scaling options do you get? Thanks in advance

Unfortunately I sold my 2018 MacBook Pro a few months ago for work and currently have it plugged into a Windows 11 PC and an RX 6800. The image looks great. Regarding your question, it is well known to everyone that Windows handles text scaling to native resolutions of any monitor much better than Apple, because when I had my Macbook connected to a DELL 32” 4K monitor I also suffered a lot in that regard. Having this Lenovo on a PC at 5120x2160, all text looks perfect at 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200%, with no shadows or weird effects. But what really impressed me the most is that I did several calibrations with X-Rite ColorMunki and in my tests it exceeded the advertised DCI-P3 of 98% reaching 99.8% and in sRGB my measurement was 123%. The contrast is advertised as 1000:1 but my tests were 1285:1 so the blacks look deeper than I expected. The viewing angles are excellent because when viewing the monitor from the extreme sides, I don't notice any color drift towards yellow, green or red like you would on any other IPS display. I have connected it to an Asus laptop with USB-C video output and it works perfectly through the Thunderbolt 4.0 port that this monitor has. The user manual indicates that this screen is compatible with HDR10 and although in the Windows configuration it does not appear as certified for this purpose, I must say that HDR works wonderfully. I have measured the brightness at 350 Nits with SDR and at 510 Nits with HDR activated. The only bad thing about this screen is that the advertised 75hz works with stutter, as this is apparently a factory overclocked frequency, so you have to set it to 60hz. This is a well-known problem in forums like Reddit, where it was reported as false advertising, but at 60Hz the image is perfectly smooth for me, although it is not a monitor for gamers. It doesn't have speakers, but that's not a problem either since I have a pair of PreSonus monitors that sound great. Any other questions you have, I will gladly answer them. Greetings.

I am looking to the the same as the 49" is more than twice its price, are you happy with your purchase?

Quite happy with the Lenovo!

Hope you managed to get it!

Haven't seen any updates as of yet. So far so good

I've been running at native 5k2k as well

My original setup was a 34" main and a 23" top

If you are talking about sharing slides over a Zoom / video call, yes, it can be done. I don't use split screen though, I continue to use it as a single full monitor display. But in Powerpoint, I have 2 open windows, 1 for the slideshow 1 for the presenter view. And over Zoom, I only share the slideshow window. I did 6 full 1080p windows before, but it didn't last very long. Nowadays I have only a maximum of 3 full-view windows, but many windows open but overlapping. I found having all 6 in full-view rather limiting, I actually want a much larger viewport when working on spreadsheets, slides, etc. In Windows, I'm using PowerToys FancyZone to play around with the window management. Feel free to keep trying different layouts to find what works best for you. Hope that helps!

Hmmm, I haven't tried. My MacBook Air by default only supports 1 external, so I don't think it would work either. Need to test this out on a regular Mac

Yes you can use the USB on the monitor, and use the monitor controls to switch the ports to be controlled by either PC. Network works for both computers as well! One will receive it via thunderbolt, the other via USB.

I considered the LG as well, but if I remember correctly, LG didn't have the full thunderbolt hub (with ethernet ports, etc). No brick on the Lenovo!

Going by native resolution wise, 5K would have more columns, same number of rows. Text would feel much smaller on the 5K though

I don't use the keyboard shortcuts for KVM switching. Although for my workflow, I don't really switch actively during the day anymore, usually it's Mac-only for a whole stretch, or PC-only with my Macbook open on the side. In that case, the moment you pull away one source, it switches to the other source automatically. Then I use the monitor buttons mostly to switch the USB devices over to Thunderbolt (when I connect my Macbook again)

From my desktop PC, it's 1 DisplayPort and 1 USB cable to access display and USB hub on the monitor

Go for it! Lol. Hopefully you manage to get a good condition unit! It was a very appealing monitor

Yes you still have to switch, they are still separate computers, just on "two monitors". However there are software solutions that can let you seamlessly roam to the other PC (from Synergy or even Logitech)

The LG has better refresh rate, plus variable. But I also like the thunderbolt 4 "hub" and USB switching + network sharing on this Lenovo (the network port really simplifies the setup)

I believe some users were experiencing issues when scaling up from native (e.g. 125% / 150%). I am using it at native 100% though, no issues with the text. Using it quite comfortably so far, but it might be that I also sit closer than some of the other folks lol. Yeah, severe lack of reviews for the P40w-20, U4021QW, and Z40c. Everyone is getting the LG lol...

@@kalestarler Thank you for the prompt reply. Lots of LGs and it is basically the same except for the overclock and freesync. It si a lot more expensive in Aus and not readily available.

My current daily driver for work is still my M1 MacBook Air. No issues at native resolution. In fact, I recommend native resolution, MacOS scaling doesn't work that great. It's either "like 2560x1080" or 5120x2160 for me, everything else is somewhat fuzzy

That's a long wait! Hope they get it to you sooner. I was checking around for stock since April - it was only in July that there were a few units in stock lol

Awesome. Hope you got it and you're enjoying it now!

Nope, using everything at 100% native lol

Hi Joe, yes, that plate came with my wall mount. I also happened to have these 4 plastic washers/risers that also came with the VESA mount to help with those recessed screw holes. Although to be honest, I've had a few arms/mounts purchased over the past few years, so I can't be certain whether those risers originally came with this wall mount or one of the others. They were previously in use with my 23" Dell monitor that also had recessed screw holes.

@@kalestarler Thanks for the detailed response!

@@kalestarler Hi Kale - hope you are well. I have a LG ergo monitor stand, what plate/adapter shall I get to mount it it with the Thinkvision P40W? Thank you!

Hmmm. I haven't worked with the LG arm, but the impression I have is that they only take LG displays, not standard VESA mounts (instead of VESA mount holes, the LG ergo monitor arm clips into the standard LG monitor clip mount?)

@@kalestarler Thank you Kale!

Thanks! Should be about 11 inches

@@kalestarler Thank you!

Yup, still using it! But I use it more often with my Windows PC these days (at 125% dpi), and less often with the Mac (which only allows either 100% or 200%). Some days I do wonder if dual 27" 1440p would be more comfortable lol, since at the office I'm usually using one of those. But I was just editing a video last night, and having that full 5120x2160 view of the timeline was really useful!

On Windows 125%. On Mac I leave it at 100%. Scaling on Mac not as pretty, it's either "looks like 2560x1080" or native 5120x2160

Without bezel, height about 39cm and width about 92cm. Note that it is a curved display still

@@kalestarler Thank you for your response, it means a lot. May I ask another question? I noticed that you did not use the audio jack port to connect the speakers, which looks very neat. Leaving the pop-down open under the monitor can make the setup look messy. Could you explain how you connected the speakers to the monitor without using the audio jack port?

LG has one, exactly what you are looking for. The original 5k2k display on the market was an LG 34" released sometime back

@@kalestarler do you know the model by any chance? I was looking on all sites, including official LG and couldn’t find what I need. Thanks!

34WK95U-W

@@kalestarler this is very good monitor, but it’s not curved. I need exactly that, but curved :)

@@SergoSS79 Ohhhh, just realized that after you pointed it out. I thought it was curved lol. At 34 inches 5k2k, a flat screen doesn't sound very ergonomic 🤔

No built-in speakers

Yes, 100x100 VESA works

I hope the answer is a yes. Lol

@@kalestarler it's complicated :D

Arnie?

Nope, but they had serious supply chain issues. Finally managed to get that sorted out and are shipping them again after a few months (!) (as of Feb 2024).

😅

I do use it for video editing and photoshop. So far I feel it is very decent. But I am by no means professional though
