Strange: Not a Single Review Found for LG Monitor -LG 35WN75C-B

frank100 on 02/08/2020 - 21:56

I am thinking of buying this monitor.
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Monitors/25plus-inch/836…

Model is LG 35WN75C-B
Both mwave and scroptec.com are selling it.

When I google, I can find the links on online shops, especially in Australia based sites only but not a single review on it. Even in youtube, there is only one ad video.
So, I am puzzled how it is so.
Is it too new? Too uncommon or bad that nobody has bought it yet. Australia only model?
Or are they known by some other name?

The specs look good, but without reviews, a bit worried. How could an LG monitor which has been there for years have not a single review anywhere on the web?
Any idea why this may happen?

Thank you

    It's not ideal for a gaming monitor so maybe there isn't a large enough interest from the prosumer market.

    VA panel, not 4K at that size, slow response rate, low refresh rate, no Gsync. At that price point, not great.

    • frank100 on 02/08/2020 - 22:27

      I need it for multitasking: coding, reading and bit of
      video edit no gaming at all.
      For my MacBook pro so LG seems to be the best mate and that is best has in that price range.
      It has a 100hz refresh rate which should be excellent for regular work.
      IPS monitor with the same config is more than 1500, and since I won't be gaming, I feel that should be good.
      Or anything better you can recommend at the same price around 1000$
      Thank you in advance.

      • Hybroid on 02/08/2020 - 22:30

        Apparently it's 100Hz over DisplayPort only and 75Hz using other inputs.

        I was answering your question on why there isn't much interest though. Looks like it'll be fine for your use case.

        • frank100 on 02/08/2020 - 22:43

          Thank you. Initially, I also wanted an IPS and found some IPS monitors 34" in the same price range and around the same refresh rate, but the resolution is almost half of this one: lg750 and lg850.
          So, for regular work, I felt that I should go for resolution rather than refresh rates (as 100 is not bad) based on my use.
          There are some Samsung alternatives, but all VA and reviews say maybe LG might have sight edge over Samsung.

            @frank100: If you don't need high specs nor particularly fussed about framerates then you could pickup 2x VX3276-2K IPS monitors, a Mac-compatible USB-C dock for them and still have couple hundred dollars change leftover. Plenty more screen real estate for work that way.

      • dcep on 02/08/2020 - 22:36

        you don't need 100hz for regular work

        https://www.pccasegear.com/products/39110/lg-34uc99-w-uwqhd-…

        ips , 10bit, srgb99%, usbc power to MBP

        edit: Ahh , they phased out, wonder what's the replacement model

        • frank100 on 02/08/2020 - 23:01

          Yup and has an overall review of 2 in LG site.
          And the product was out of stock in umart, and it is selling for 1200$($300 more than this model) in mwave.com yup also refresh rate was only 75. So thought of this one. There is one alternative but selling for around 1550$ to 1800$.

    • AustriaBargain on 03/08/2020 - 08:52

      I wouldn't even use that monitor as a door stop.

  • trex on 02/08/2020 - 22:15

    According to this article dated June 2020, the 35WN75C-B was launched recently. Since it's pretty new, I'm not surprised that there's no review it. LG monitors/TV are pretty good, I won't be worried too much about their quality and performance. Otherwise you could consider an older model?

  • Rilo 117 on 02/08/2020 - 22:24

    I've been keeping an eye on this and also would be interested in knowing.

    My use would be just for Uni. Something I can plug my laptop in via usb c and get a good charge (min required 65w) and have the benefits of a "dual screen" setup with just one monitor.

    Is it a 1800R curve?

    • frank100 on 02/08/2020 - 22:35
      +1

      Exactly, that is the reason I am buying it, not a dell. Yes, I think it is 1800r.
      Not for the game purpose and for mac, I have found this is best available for that price range after three days of research.
      Also, I just found that thought not indexed in the search engine it is currently in #24 in the best monitor, overall list in Amazon and 1st among 34-35 inch ones and selling for 999$(100$ more)
      https://www.amazon.com.au/LG-35WN75C-Monitor-FreeSync-Stabil…

      Maybe no reviews as it is too new, first impression.

  • jayboi on 02/08/2020 - 22:59

    Just get samsung G7 monitor

    • frank100 on 02/08/2020 - 23:06

      Thanks but that one is 27 inches. I need 34-35 ultra-wide so that I avoid dual display set up. Also, 27 inch one is 999.
      The equivalent 34 inch model of Samsung LC34H892WJEXXY 34 is 100$ more almost everything same but seems like most agree for mac and overall monitor quality, Lg is preferable over Samsung.

      • jayboi on 03/08/2020 - 09:23

        Samsung G7 is 32 inches, its massive and way better built than LG

        • frank100 on 03/08/2020 - 10:14

          Well, that is VA as well, the resolution is 2560x1080 only and most imp no USB-c port.1000 curve may be too much. Plus 300$ more. Plus since I am not looking for a gaming purpose, I think this one serves better. Thanks anyways.

  • frank100 on 03/08/2020 - 00:14

    Lol seems like someone has reported it for some duplicate post. So if I post something about monitor now, it will be considered as duplicate. This is about not getting any review about a particular model and other was about general asking for any monitors. I don't know how it is duplicate.
    Lol, some people should invest their time in something more productive.lol.

    Just so you know a 34" Ultrawide does not equal two 27" monitors.
    you are looking for a 49" Super Ultrawide if you truly want the dual monitor setup but on a single display.

    • connico on 20/08/2020 - 13:32

      Depends on the resolution lol

      • Axelstrife on 20/08/2020 - 13:45

        No it doesn't. 49" Super Ultrawide is the exact same size as two 27" screens.

        • connico on 20/08/2020 - 13:50

          lol, size doesn't matter when it comes to resolution.

          If the two 27" monitors are 4k… your 49" won't have the pixels to compete lol

          Especially if the 49" is a shit resolution like 3840x1080 ahahahahahahahahahaha

          • Axelstrife on 20/08/2020 - 14:36

            @connico: Are you ok?
            I ask cause you seem to be talking about resolution when i am CLEARLY talking about screen size.

            • connico on 20/08/2020 - 15:11

              @Axelstrife: Im perfectly fine, you just don't know what you're talking about…

              From a physical perspective, there a couple of inches difference between a single 49 and a 2x 27" lol

              But lets dissect you're statement

              Just so you know a 34" Ultrawide does not equal two 27" monitors.

              Firstly you didn't say anything about physical, even though the two setups are physically different by a large margin. When talking about monitors you need to talk about size and relative resolution. You can have a 27 thats 1080p, 1440p and 4k.

              So… it depends, on the resolution… If the two 27" Monitors are 1080P. You would need a resolution of 3840 x 1080 to equal the two monitors. Which means you need a 49" with 3840 x 1080 resolution… But… you can get higher resolution @ 38", 34", 32"

              you are looking for a 49" Super Ultrawide if you truly want the dual monitor setup but on a single display.

              Dual monitor at what resolution? 49" limits your choice of resolution. Again it depends on what resolution the user is running. If you want like for like when you're looking at going from dual monitors to a single then you need to look at resolution first.

              • Axelstrife on 20/08/2020 - 15:16

                @connico: I am not even going to bother reading whatever you just typed up.

                if you don't understand the difference between SIZE and RESOLUTION then you are a waste of my time.

                Please never speak to me again.

                • connico on 20/08/2020 - 15:19

                  @Axelstrife: lol you dont even understand what you're talking about… stop giving people advice…

  • ilikeradiohead on 04/08/2020 - 06:16

    Idk about this specific product, but manufacturers often churn out a lot of products that are almost identical but with minor model variations and sell them to different distributors/retailers. It is possible that a very similar model is being sold but with a different model number.

    Retailers often do this so they don't have to price match, because it is a different 'model' (eg XXX-XXX-X-1 vs XXX-XXX-X-2).

  • connico on 20/08/2020 - 13:40

    @OP

    I have one sitting on my test bench. It's a good monitor for productivity if you're looking for a monitor with 3440 x 1440 resolution. Unfortunately it is lack luster on the gaming front due to its 5ms GTG and its 100hz limitation on DP and USBC.

    Note that the USBC is capable for 90w for charging so it will do most laptops with exception to workstation replacement laptops but those of them these come with power packs. Your macbook should be fine.

    The monitor only comes with 2 USB 3.1 connectors so wont act as a hub for your laptop. Also the USBA connectors are mounted in the rear of the panel so hard to get too.

    Menu hasn't changed from other LG monitors. Decent monitor if you can get at a discount

  • frank100 on 21/08/2020 - 13:12

    Ok, Thanks to everyone for the comments.
    I got the monitor around 2 weeks ago from mwave for 899$.

    So far, it is ok. As I have already told I use it for writing and reading:
    It looks great, easy to assemble, and the monitor has a speaker, overall setting looks great.

    Especially while working on excel sheet and dragging-dropping is great (maybe more a feature of multi-monitor setup as I am using it for the first time).

    I have not been able to test it extensively, but some of the things I have noticed:
    In my 2015 Mac with HDMI, it works at 60hz only (and there is no display port in 2015 version, so defeats the whole purpose of having 100hz monitor) unless I upgrade my Mac. And that mac version does not have the USB-c port as well. So, unless you have the latest model Mac, you won't be able to use full features. I also plan to upgrade soon, so bought it.

    My NUC has a USB-c port, and I have both connected and use it in tandem (it works in 100hz in usb-c in nun)
    The radius of the curve is 100, so you won't feel much curve (but somebody was saying it is nice to eyes. So don't know)
    I found that the reason it is not readily available on website, no review is according to LG Aus, it is a specific version from LG UK.So, only listed in LG UK website.
    In fact, when I called LG Australia, they first told me that LG does not have any model like this. Eventually, when I showed the link, they told me that for the support I need to contact LG UK(online), they won't do anything (they were treating as if it is a separate company). I asked them if they don't support then why are they selling their product in Australia, obviously, all they care is a sales inquiry. So, no response.

    Other problem, as it is not listed on their website, you won't find any software, drivers listed on their website for this model. You have to try some other version's software. LG has something called onscreen monitor. I was finally able to install it in my Mac using some other version's download. It is working but maybe 90% only. But in windows, the other monitor software is fully working.

    But there is something called, dual controller through which you will be able to split-screen and use two monitors in either half (and control win from Mac and vice versa), that is not working. No hardware option at all though the website says it is supported.

    I contacted LG, Australia. Obviously, they tried directing me to LG Australia (who directed me to them), and finally said even they were surprised why drivers are not there and why the dual controller is not supported. They said they would have a look into it and contact me, and has been two weeks, have not heard anything. The investigation may be on who made the product.lol

    So, I have not been able to assess it technically, but those are some of the things you may have to encounter. Somebody was asking it is useful for charging Mac, based on its specs; I think it should.

    • Andrw on 26/08/2020 - 00:57

      The 2015 Macbook Pro's have 2 Mini Display Ports,

      Try using a mini display port to display port adapter or cable, maybe then you can get the full refresh rate?

      • frank100 on 28/08/2020 - 00:07

        Thank you. But for some reasons now i am not able to find any mini display port to usb c cable or even convertor. i don't know why?

        • ncmx5 on 29/08/2020 - 19:30

          you can get Mini Display port to Display port adaptor - $10-15. Apparently it works well.

          I'm looking at this monitor vs Samsung LC34H892WGEXXY vs Philips 346B1C/75…

          I just put a post up and just found yours just now. How's the colour and brightness on the LG?

          • frank100 on 04/09/2020 - 20:02

            @ncmx5: I just got that wire that supports 144hz but still I am getting 85hz only using my Mac 2015.
            The colour and brightness are good. Not too bad. With 85hz now I find it little bit better and transition from one monitor to another is also much smoother.
            I am connecting mini dp to display port.

  • frank100 on 14/09/2020 - 13:31

    In case if any one is planning to buy it. I see that in Aus LG it has been priced much higher and though they have listed this model supports dual controller (feature that allows to spilt screen and run two os in single monitor); that is actually not supported by this model (they have not still removed that misleading info from the website listing when I am writing this, even in AU site). Support sent me an email confirming that after around month long investigation. Bit disappointed but just maybe useful for others.

      Hey @frank100 Have you upgraded your mac. I have a macbook pro 2019, planning to use this only for work and no gaming for me. Any recommendations for me?

    • CricNix on 28/07/2022 - 13:31

      Are you sure? I have just contacted LG and they have confirmed that this monitor supports Dual Controller!
