The LG 49U950A-W is a 49-inch curved Nano IPS monitor with a 5120 x 1440 Dual QHD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, available at Mascom International for KSh 185,000. Stock is brand new and sealed. The 32:9 panel bends at a 3800R curve, covers 98% of the DCI-P3 colour range and carries VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. A single USB-C port supplies 90W to a laptop, and a built-in KVM switch lets one keyboard and mouse run two computers. The LG 49U950A-W is now available at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for financial traders, video editors, software developers and logistics coordinators across Kenya, the LG 49U950A-W solves the clutter of a two-monitor desk. Its 5120 x 1440 pixels match two 2560 x 1440 QHD screens placed side by side, with no bezel splitting the middle. A trader in Upper Hill can keep charts, a news feed and a banking portal open together. An editor can stretch a long timeline across the full width. Evening players get 144Hz motion and AMD FreeSync in racing and flight games that support the wide 32:9 format.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that rarely keep a 49-inch screen on the shelf, Mascom International stocks the LG 49U950A-W for offices that need two computers on one desk. At Mascom International, we're seeing more requests from finance and design teams replacing twin monitors with one wide panel and a single cable to the laptop. The LG 49U950A-W ships with USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort cables, so it connects without extra purchases. Book a demo on WhatsApp, test it on Kimathi Street, or order with pay on arrival to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the LG 49U950A-W
How much is the LG 49U950A-W in Kenya?
The LG 49U950A-W costs KSh 185,000 brand new at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That figure includes the 24-month warranty, USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort cables, and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. It sits KSh 106,000 above the 32-inch LG 32U850SA-W and KSh 114,000 above the curved 34-inch LG 34U640B-B. Trading floors and design studios ordering several units can request a written quote by email or WhatsApp, and payment by M-Pesa or bank transfer is accepted.
Should I buy the LG 49U950A-W or two 27-inch monitors?
The LG 49U950A-W gives the width of two QHD screens with no bezel down the middle, while two separate monitors cost less and can be angled independently. Two LG 27UP850K-W units at KSh 71,000 each total KSh 142,000 and give each half a sharper 4K image, but they need two cables and leave a split at eye level. Pick the LG 49U950A-W for timelines, spreadsheets and racing games; pick twin monitors when you want two separate 4K workspaces.
How does the LG 49U950A-W cope with KPLC power cuts and Nairobi dust?
The LG 49U950A-W turns off when KPLC power drops, so pair it with a UPS that can carry the monitor and computer for a few minutes. That window lets a trader close positions or an editor save a project before shutting down. Mascom International sells UPS units suited to this setup. Dust settles quickly on a screen this wide in Industrial Area or roadside offices, so wipe it weekly with a dry microfibre cloth and never spray liquid straight onto the panel.
Can the LG 49U950A-W control two computers at once?
Yes, the LG 49U950A-W has a built-in KVM switch, which lets one keyboard and mouse operate two connected computers. KVM stands for keyboard, video and mouse. LG's Dual Controller software extends this, sharing one keyboard and mouse across computers on the same network. A developer can switch between a Windows desktop and a MacBook without a second keyboard on the desk. Accountants who run a company PC beside a personal laptop for KRA iTax filings get the same benefit. Our staff can demonstrate the setup at the Kimathi Street store before you buy.
Is the LG 49U950A-W good for gaming?
The LG 49U950A-W runs at 144Hz with a 1ms MBR response and supports AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible. MBR, or motion blur reduction, keeps fast objects clear, and the sync features match the screen to your graphics card to stop tearing. Racing, flight and strategy titles that support 32:9 look the most natural. Most console games output 16:9, so PlayStation 5 owners in Kisumu or Nakuru should expect black bars on both sides. PC gamers need a capable graphics card to hold high frame rates at 5120 x 1440.
Can I charge a laptop from the LG 49U950A-W?
Yes, the LG 49U950A-W supplies up to 90W of charging through its USB-C port, while carrying picture and data over the same cable. That covers most 14-inch and 15-inch business laptops, including the EliteBook and ThinkPad models common in Nairobi offices. The monitor adds two USB 3.0 downstream ports for a keyboard, mouse or webcam. LG packs a USB-C cable in the box, so the single-cable setup works as soon as you unpack it. Check first that your laptop's USB-C port supports display output, which our staff can confirm in store.
Who should buy the LG 49U950A-W, and who should skip it?
The LG 49U950A-W suits traders, video editors, developers and PC gamers who want one wide workspace and have a desk at least 1.2 metres across. Skip it if you mainly stream films, since 16:9 video leaves black bars on both sides; the LG 32U850SA-W at KSh 79,000 runs webOS streaming apps instead. Skip it too if your budget is under KSh 100,000; the curved LG 34U640B-B gives a wider-than-standard view for KSh 71,000. Buyers with a small bedroom desk should also measure before committing to this width.
Is the LG 49U950A-W accurate enough for photo and video colour work?
The LG 49U950A-W covers 98% of the DCI-P3 colour range and is colour calibrated at the LG factory, giving editors a reliable starting point out of the box. DCI-P3 is the cinema colour standard, wider than the sRGB used for basic web images. DisplayHDR 400 and HDR10 support let you preview HDR footage, although grading for broadcast still calls for a dedicated reference monitor. Wedding videographers and agency designers in Westlands get room for a full timeline plus a preview window.
