LG Releases Three New UltraWide Monitors

LG has unveiled three new UltraWide monitors: the 38-inch curved 38UC99, 34-inch curved 34UC79G, and 34-inch flat 34UM79G. The flagship product is the LG 38UC99, a 38-inch curved IPS display.

This monitor supports a max resolution of 3840×1600, offering plenty of screen space for multitasking purposes. For artists and designers, the 38UC99 offers 99% sRGB color coverage. LG claims the 38UC99 is the first UltraWide monitor to feature a a USB Type-C port, ideal for quick charging of mobile devices. Two integrated 10W Bluetooh speakers are also present, offering bass output in the 85hz range. The 38UC99 is expected to launch next month for $1499.

Next up, the 34UC79G is a 34-inch curved IPS gaming monitor featuring a 144hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync support. LG is calling this model the “world’s first 144Hz IPS 21:9 Curved UltraWide gaming monitor”. The company is touting several unique features with this model, including Black Stabilizer and Dynamic Action Sync which improve image contrast and reduce input lag respectively. Other gamer-centric features include a mouse cable hook and the ability to display an onscreen crosshair for improved accuracy in FPS games. The 34UC79G will launch in October for $699.

Last on the list is the 34UM79G, which trades FreeSync support for a flat 34-inch screen and integrated Google Cast capabilities. This means the 34UM79G will be able to stream content from multiple devices out of the box. With ultra-thin bezels and SplitScreen features for 14 layout options, this monitor provides as an answer for hungry multimedia enthusiasts. The 34UM79G will launch in November for the price of $599.

LG has clearly focused tons of effort into positioning these models above the competition in terms of specs, and, naturally, they carry lofty price tags to match. All three UltraWide monitors will be present at the IFA 2016 trade show in Berlin next week, so hopefully we’ll learn more about them soon.

34UC79G also includes a number of practical design features fit well into gaming station setup without hindering gaming such as tilting, adjusting the height and the mouse line hook which minimizes tangled cords.

"With tablets and smartphones at their disposal, consumers today don't feel shackled to their desks anymore so it's more important than ever that their monitors offer additional user benefits and conveniences," said Brian Kwon, president of LG Home Entertainment Company. "LG is the number one brand in the 21:9 monitor space because we were first to recognize that consumers are adopting a new way of working and playing that put them ahead of the competition whether that's working or playing."
