The display panel isn’t glossy like the 5K iMac, which helps reject reflections and ambient light, but I feel like its anti-reflective properties should be stronger.
The unit includes an ambient light sensor on top of the display housing (because of the tiny bezels) for auto brightness, which can be toggled in the settings. The LG34WK95U is not as bright as the display found in the 5K iMac, but holds its own at 450 nits max brightness. It also results in its display donning VESA-certified DisplayHDR 600 compliant badge for enhanced High Dynamic Range support. The result, according to LG, is greater intensity and purity for on screen colors. LG notes that Nano IPS involves an application of nanometer-sized particles to the screen’s LED to absorb excess light wavelengths. Launched back in 2017 with the release of the 32UK950 32-inch UHD 4K display, this isn’t the first outing for Nano IPS. The LG 5K2K UltraWide passes the WebKit Display P3 wide color test In fact, the 34WK95U features 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, resulting in enhanced wide color support. While LG doesn’t go deep into the specifics of Nano IPS, it does note that the technology results in enhanced color for consumer displays. One of the buzzwords surrounding the launch of the 34WK95U is Nano IPS, a new in-plane switching LCD technology developed by LG. I’d never dream of running this, or any other 4K or 5K monitor at native resolution, as on-screen assets and text are mind-numbingly-small when doing so. For timeline-heavy apps, that’s just enough vertical resolution to get things done and be comfortable to the eyes. What strikes me the most about this display is that it features enough pixel real estate to support pixel-doubling, lending users an effective wide-screen default “Retina” resolution of 2560 x 1080. LG’s UltraWide 5K2K Display delivers substantially more horizontal resolution With this in mind, LG’s 5K2K UltraWide won’t be for everyone, but for those coming from a 4K or lesser-resolution display that are specifically after a wide-screen experience, LG’s hardware largely delivers. Naturally, a 21:9 display is a completely different animal than the typical 16:10 or 16:9 display, as found on traditional monitors. The amount of real estate displayed on 4K monitors With this in mind, we’ll refer to the display as a 5K2K display from here on out. I guess LG realized that its customers would quickly learn that this display provides less resolution than a typical 5120×2880 display. It’s interesting, because LG used to market this display as a “5K” display, but in updated marketing material it notes that it’s a “5K2K” display.
If you’re used to a traditional 5K display - such as the 5K iMac or LG UltraFine 5K Display ( hands-on) - the LG 34WK95U is actually a downgrade in usable resolution it has less vertical real estate.

What conclusions can we draw from this comparison? If you currently use a 4K display, then the LG 34WK95U is a significant upgrade in horizontal resolution, making it particularly appealing for apps featuring horizontal timelines like Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro. To illustrate this, take a look at the following GIF animation:
It features the vertical resolution of 4K, combined with the horizontal resolution of 5K. With this in mind, the LG UltraWide is more like a 4.5K display than a true 5K monitor. On the y-axis, it features 2,160 lines of vertical resolution, which is more akin to that of a UHD 4K display. The LG UltraWide 5K display is not a true 5K display, in that it only features 5K resolution (5,120 lines) on the horizontal x-axis.

On paper it sounds like a compelling companion display for the MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or MacBook Air. This Thunderbolt 3-enabled display measures 34-inches diagonal, features a wide 21:9 aspect ratio, and has a native resolution of 5120-by-2160. LG’s UltraWide 5K display was revealed during the beginning of 2018 at CES, and I’ve been watching for its release like a hawk.

We have reached out to LG for comment and will update this post with any response. There is a report on LG’s website that says the latest macOS 10.14.2 beta resolves the issue. This may be a temporary deal-breaker for 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro owners until this problem is resolved.
Note: Please be aware that there appears to be a compatibility issue with the 2018 MacBook Pro with the 560X GPU. With near perfect timing in relation to Apple’s big MacBook Air and Mac mini refresh, the LG UltraWide 34WK95U display (on sale for $1399 at B&H) landed in the office last week. Should you consider this highly anticipated end-of-year hardware release? Watch our LG 5K UltraWide review for the details.
