We posted about this one before - From big to bigger, LG is releasing the 38UC99 curved monitor. This display will get an IPS panel at 3840 x 1600 resolution with an ultra wide 2:4:1 aspect ratio. The 38-inch panel is made in-house at LG.

This news-posting is updated:

The product pages just went live on LG, meaning they will be available soon. The 38UC99 offers a 5ms G2G response time with your standard 1000:1 contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 brightness. The panel covers 99% sRGB gamut at 10-bit colour depth and 178/178 viewing angles. AMD FreeSync (52 - 75Hz range) is supported. The monitor will feature an USB Type-Cport. The port allows users to transmit content and data as well as charge another device such as a smartphone or laptop at the same time.

With two 10W built-in Bluetooth compatible speakers, the 38UC99 offers Rich Bass audio output in the 85Hz bass range. The monitor also includes capabilities to customize display options with just a few clicks of the mouse and store customized color settings with the easy-to-use Onscreen Control software and My Display Preset. Prices and availability are to be announced, I also added some new photos.

2.4:1, not 2:4:1... I even started to wonder if they are counting curvature as a third dimension

This is a fantastic size/aspect ratio display. Easier to run than a normal 4k.

(4k) 3840x2160 = 8,294,000 pixels
3840 x 1600 = 6,144,000

With a next gen GPU (Volta), would be a must have display.

You'd probably be better off paying more to get a G-Sync screen for an Nvidia GPU.
