LG has announced a new 40-inch Thunderbolt 5 monitor with an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio, and the company is being very upfront about who it’s for: people who love crunching data and want more room to do that. The new LG UltraFine 40WT95UF is designed to “meet the needs of data-intensive industries such as finance and IT,” according to a release from the company today. But it may still appeal far beyond that, with a 120Hz refresh rate and support for AMD’s FreeSync Premium to help reduce screen tearing and flickering.

Although LG is promoting the 40WT95UF as the “world’s first 5K2K monitor to support Thunderbolt 5,” it’s not the company’s first display to incorporate the latest iteration of the high-speed transfer protocol. The company previously announced another UltraFine model with Thunderbolt 5 support at CES 2025 with a 6K resolution. The model announced today features slightly less resolution at 5,120×2,160 pixels, but spread across a much wider panel making it better suited for organizing and laying out multiple windows and applications.

Unfortunately, as with the announcement of the 6K display in January, LG hasn’t said when its new UltraFine 40WT95UF will ship, how much it will cost, or who will be able to purchase one. LG’s press release says the display will help strengthen the company’s “B2B market presence” which could potentially mean this new model won’t be sold directly to consumers.

Other features of the UltraFine 40WT95UF include both picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture functionality, LG’s IPS Black panel technology, and USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort 2.1, and RJ45 ports. When using the monitor’s Thunderbolt 5 USB-C port data transfer speeds of up to 80Gbps will be available. LG doesn’t specifically say whether Intel’s Bandwidth Boost mode is supported, which can boost transfer speeds to up to 120Gbps.
