LG 34UC97 21:9 Curved UltraWide Monitor Starts selling in US
LG Electronics today begins selling its 21:9 Curved UltraWide Monitor (model 34UC97) in the United States. Thehas a curved In-Plane Switching (IPS) screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio, it is 34-inch (32.7-inches measured diagonally). LG's 34UC97 is available nationwide for $1,299.
With LG's IPS technology, the LG Curved UltraWide Monitor delivers immersive wide viewing angles that allow users to view the screen clearly without distortion at virtually any angle. The LED backlighting delivers deep black levels and rich colors for an amazing contrast and color detail, and its Ultra Quad High Definition (UQHD) picture quality with 3440 x 1440 pixels make movies, games and sports come to life.
LG's flagship IPS 21:9 Curved UltraWide Monitor is a complete monitor solution, equally suited to the needs of professional users and home entertainment enthusiasts with extra screen real estate so users can replace dual monitor set-ups. With its True Color Finder color calibration software it ensures color accuracy for source material, which is a must for professional photographers and graphic designers.
Compatible with both PCs and Macs, the LG 34UC97 monitor handles heavy graphics and videos with ease on either system and supports Thunderbolt 2 for high-speed data transfers - four times faster than USB 3.0. It also allows multiple devices to be daisy chained together.
LG's 4-Screen Split feature makes multitasking easy by dividing the screen into up to four sections at eight different screen ratios. Users can prioritize windows by size and location instead of having to manually resize and position each window individually. A few simple mouse clicks enable the user to arrange windows quickly into a variety of useful configurations, perfect for the professional who needs to view multiple programs at once. Adding even more versatility, a connectivity feature called Dual-Link Up allows the monitor to connect to two source devices (e.g., smartphones, PCs, cameras, Blu-ray players or gaming systems) and display each on a single screen simultaneously.
By adding a gentle curve to a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor, LG has created a unique product that delivers a more immersive experience. The monitor also features MAXXAUDIO and 7 W stereo speaker system guaranteed to deliver peak audio performance across all frequencies.
LG's 34UC97 will be available nationwide in October at online and regional retailers including Amazon, Tiger Direct, Newegg, Fry's B&H and Adorama for $1,299.

I have the flat version of this, love it. 21:9 is the future for movies and PC gaming. We need higher refresh versions immediately.
Anybody know if this supports display port 1.2a (freesync)?

Is that aspect ratio a problem in games or not? How older games react to this resolution? Do games have native resolution support?

Why are there no 21:9 TN model monitors?

I was very interested in getting one of these when I first saw them, and then I upgraded my graphics and it dawned on me that sticking at 60hz is not gonna cut it for games, which essentially rules this display out :/
So I went and grabbed a Qnix QX2710 instead for the interim until these can hit upward of 100hz on IPS or until they make them in TN @ 144.
