Lineup of new LG Ultra monitors announced soon - Includes 49-inch UltraWide
At CES next month, LG Electronics (LG), is set to unveil its latest “Ultra” monitors which include both UltraWide for outstanding productivity and UltraGear for enhanced gaming.
Building on its reputation as a leading innovator in the UltraWide (21:9 aspect ratio and higher) monitor category, the impressive expanse of the new 49-inch LG UltraWide Monitor (model 49WL95) is built to boost productivity for any task while LG’s latest UltraGear Gaming Monitor (model 38GL950G) combines superb picture quality with blazing speed to deliver the immersive experience gamers demand.
2019 LG UltraWide Monitor
LG’s newest UltraWide Monitor features a large, 32:9 aspect ratio curved screen that delivers exceptional picture quality. With its cinematic scale, LG 49WL95 is a high quality solution that replaces the cumbersome multi-screen setup. The additional space supplied by its 49-inch display and incredible aspect ratio makes the LG UltraWide ideal for multitasking. A pixel count of 5120 x 1440 (equivalent to two 27-inch Quad High Definition side-by-side) and 108 pixels per inch (PPI) ensures optimal image clarity, meaning documents are easier to read and videos and image files, easier to edit.
LG’s UltraWide Monitor is a true productivity-boosting tool. Suitable for any type of work, this monitor is a natural fit for those working in finance, IT, design and architecture where display accuracy and quality are required. Utilizing LG’s industry-leading IPS technology, the latest UltraWide Monitor offers stunningly accurate color reproduction covering 99 percent of the sRGB color space. With support for HDR10, this monitor is also capable of displaying HDR-enabled games and video.
To make the most of the incredibly expansive screen real estate, the LG UltraWide Monitor features a Picture-by-Picture mode to view content from multiple sources side-by-side and work with multiple applications simultaneously. Dual Controller Software allows connection to several devices all controllable via a single keyboard and mouse, working seamlessly with PBP to improve workflow and increase efficiency. With USB Type-C ports, users can transfer data and charge devices – even laptops – simultaneously. The monitor’s beautifully curved display heightens the viewer’s sense of immersion when watching movies and similar content while the clean, minimalist design and slim metal stand add an elegant touch to the entire package.
2019 LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor
LG is debuting its new Nani IPS UltraGear Monitor for gamers at CES, with support for NVIDIA G-SYNC and a 144Hz refresh rate for fast and fluid gaming without tearing. Vivid images with jaw-dropping color are standard on the monitor’s 3840 x 1600 resolution and 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The UltraGear Monitor was designed to embrace gamers with its 21:9 aspect ratio, curved screen and virtually borderless design. Sphere Lighting, designed for immersive gaming ambiance, offers up to six different color settings that eminate from the back of the monitor and can be tailored to the gamers’ mood while also helping to reduce eye fatigue.
“LG is consistently bringing advanced monitors to market, packed with features and functions specifically for different consumer segments,” said Jang Ik-hwan, head of LG’s IT division of the Home Entertainment Company. “With a wide choice of models that prioritize productivity, picture quality and out-of-this-world gaming, more and more consumers are seeing LG as a innovation leader in monitors.”
Visitors to CES 2019 from January 8-11 are encouraged to visit booth #11100 of the Las Vegas Convention Center for a closer look at the latest advanced monitors from LG.

Not sure about those formats.
What's best ? Those laaaaaarrrrrrgggggge displays, or a 32 4K 16:9 and a smaller one put vertically at its side ?

Get ready for awesome contrast ratios at 1000:1 or lower.

I have a LG Ultrawide that i love so i wouldn´t mind buying another on from them and that 38GL950G seems really nice. Too bad it has G-sync, this stuff needs to die.

My thoughts exactly, I settled on 32" 4k 16:9 with a separate 24" vertical 1080p screen next to it. This was after trying a few different sizes and realizing the curved and wide format displays were not very versatile. I benefit from more vertical space in 90% of my daily work tasks, the majority of games are still better suited to 16:9, and movies / full screen video on the ultra-wide monitors is not good with the format difference.
The thing that bothers me is how the marketing always speaks of this supposed "productivity" increase with ultra-wide monitors. Either you're a day trader (in which case any one screen is still inadequate...) or its an excuse to have your browser open with cat videos next to a word processor/email. Coding, web development, writing, design work, and video editing all benefit from a taller screen imo.
The most versatile screen I have ever seen for work tasks was an Eizo square (1:1 ratio) monitor, ridiculously expensive but looked amazing in person.

Indeed. Along with everything you just said, no professional illustrator, film/tv/game visual effects guru, graphic designer, photoshop monkey, etc. can work on a curved screen and count on proper angles, ratios, etc. So, again, the "productivity" tag for professionals goes right out the window with a curved screen.
It also makes movies look stupid.

Hey man. Not really. This would really help in finance, I don't like having 2 monitors. This one scratches my itch.

f.y.i.
courtesy of TFTcentral:
"In the production of Nano IPS, a layer of nanoparticles (hence the name) is applied to the standard W-LED backlight of the screen. These absorb certain wavelengths of light, for instance absorbing unnecessary yellow and orange which in particular leads to more accurate red shades. From a technical/chemical point of view it is a KSF phosphor layer that is added (K2SiF6 doped with Mn4) and gives rise to the name “KSF LED” to describe the backlight unit. This KSF layer allows Nano IPS panels to offer a wider than normal colour space equating to 98% of the DCI-P3 reference, which is about 135% of the sRGB space. This allows support for HDR 10."

I went with an alienware and despite not having HDR, It is amazing for productivity and gaming!

*Nano IPS
Anyway, my eyes is on the 38GL950G. I've been waiting for a ultrawide 1600p monitor with G-sync and 120/144 Hz, but does it have HDR10? Also only the 49 inch have vesa 100x100 in it's spec, I hope both support wall mount.
