This format is really getting popular somehow. So yet another upcoming ultra-wide cinematic monitor from LG, the 29EA73-P. Adopting the latest AH-IPS panel, this new 29-inch LED backlight monitor provides 2560 x 1080 native resolution with 21:9 aspect ratio, 5,000,000:1 (DFC 1,000:1) contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 5ms (GTG) response time and 178/178 degree viewing angles. Not to mention, it also has two built-in 7W stereo speakers and features DVI-D, 2x HDMI (1x MHL), DisplayPort, USB 2.0 and 3x USB 3.0 connectors. The 29EA73-P will go on sale from early August for unannounced price yet.

Two models are released of which both are are 29-inchers with a native resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels. Inputs, include dual-link DVI, DisplayPort, two HDMI ports. Both offer USB 3.0 hubs, 7W stereo speakers, and audio out; but differ in design, and hence, dimensions. The 29EA73-P measures 699.7 x 387.0 x 197.2 mm, weighing 5.9 kg; while the 29EB73-P measures 699.7 x 395.3 x 225.0 mm, weighing 6.9 kg.

The main problem with these monitors is the vertical resolution. The width is really less important than the height for everyday use. Text flows vertically and, thus, if you were used to, say, 1600*1200 then 1920*1080 is a step back. So at the time I upgraded to a 1920*1200 monitor, because that way I could keep my vertical resolution. I don't have a problem with the aspect ratio of this LG 21:9 monitor, but for me it would be a step back, because of the 1080 pixels in the vertical range. Now that I am used to a 2560*1440 monitor it looks like they cut off the lower part of the screen.
