A giant monitor meant for creatives has about a fifth of its price lopped off, making it more viable for anyone to enjoy. This LG UltraWide monitor, the LG 40WP95C-W, is usually $1,800 but you can now get it for $1,459, a savings of $341. The monitor appears on multiple of our favorites lists, and for good reason, so be sure to tap the button below and see if you can still get it. Stock of the LG Ultrawide 5K has gone down since we first scouted this deal, and there’s no telling if more inventory is coming in, so if you want it you should check it out quickly. In any event, this is a very exciting monitor deal for anyone that wants a boost to their picture and an ultrawide. Keep reading to see what lists this monitor appears on, why it made it on them, and more about what makes it great.

Why you should buy the LG 40WP95C-W UltraWide 5K

Ultimately, the big selling point of the LG Ultrawide 5K is that it is a widescreen 40-inch monitor with a stellar 5120 x 2160 resolution. For most, that’ll be enough to make it a buy. Then there’s the Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, a 72Hz refresh rate (not bad for 5K), and built-in speakers with bass support and you’ve got a recipe for a premium monitor. That’s what we think, anyways, with the monitor being featured in our list of the best 5K monitors in the ultrawide category and also our best ultrawide monitors list, this time being noted for its DCI P3 color gamut with HDR10 support, plus the fact that it connects easily with both laptops and desktops.

The LG Ultrawide 5K is marked down to $1,459 while this sale is on. That’s a savings of $341 off of its original $1,800 price. If you want to upgrade your monitor to what the pros use, go ahead and tap the button below to see it. Alternatively, keep searching for your next screen with our list of the best monitors overall or, since we left gamers out, the best gaming monitors.

If you have ever generated an image with Gemini and gotten annoyed by that stamped-on watermark, Google finally heard you. Gemini is rolling out a new setting called Media Watermarks that lets you toggle visible watermarks on or off across everything you create, including images made with Nano Banana, videos made with Omni, and music made with Lyria. Until now, that visible watermark was applied automatically with no way to turn it off.

U.S. courts are set to begin publicly reporting how often federal judges authorize the government to use spyware and hacking tools to intercept real-time communications, giving the public its first standardized view of how frequently these surveillance techniques are being used.

The change will begin with data collected for the 2028 Wiretap Report, which will be published in 2029. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts told TechCrunch that the report will introduce a new “spyware/hacking” category covering wiretaps conducted using hacking tools and spyware, known to federal authorities as network investigative techniques, or NITs.
