Technologies are advancing at incredible paces, so it's no wonder that more and more "futuristic" products are appearing on the market. We have slowly been able to get used to the fact that manufacturers produce 4K TVs, phones now usually have Full-HD resolution and QHD is becoming more and more commonplace. Also, manufacturers will no longer surprise us when they present a curved TV and claim that it is the best of its kind. However, some things are not as widespread as it might seem. These include displays with an aspect ratio of 21:9.
When the 16:9 standard came out a few years ago, everyone thought it was too stretched to be commonplace. However, the opposite was true and today almost most displays on the market are in the 16:9 ratio. However, there are also manufacturers who try to enforce the 21:9 aspect ratio. Among them is LG. Well, this time LG decided to do something that we don't have on the market yet. And that thing is the first curved monitor with an aspect ratio of 21:9. This futuristic 34-inch display has a QHD resolution, more precisely 3440 x 1440 pixels. Almost the entire front part of the monitor is occupied by the display itself, around which there is just a line miniature frame. The 34UC97 monitor has an IPS panel and a wide range of advanced technologies. With curved displays like this, it can happen that the colors on the edges are a little different than elsewhere on the monitor, but LG has solved this and so we can see the most faithful rendering of colors that a curved display has ever offered all over the monitor.
The LG 34UC97 also has wide viewing angles, which can be an excellent reason to buy for a potential movie enthusiast. As LG says, this display has such realistic color reproduction that you'll think your camera has captured and stored in its memory the entire subject you're photographing. However, in order not only to praise the display and colors, let's also focus on koneactivity. The monitor has two HDMI ports as standard today. Furthermore, on the display we can find two USB 3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, which will especially please fans of the brand Apple and we also find DisplayPort here. For Mac users, this monitor offers several advantages. The main advantage is that the display is fully compatible with OS X, and the second most interesting advantage is the fact that the monitor has two Thunderbolt 2 ports that ensure a transfer speed of up to 20 Gbps.
I would quite like to put this on my chair at home :)
After all, it can be yours for $1299 :). Which looks like a pretty good price.
I could also imagine it, only the resolution is already weak...
The resolution is perfect. LG makes these monitors mainly for a high-quality gaming experience, and the resolution is just up, at 2160p it would reach some 5000 horizontal pixels and at the same resolution and some AAA title you would need a gtx970-980 in SLI and maybe on low-medium details. Also, 34 inches and 21:9 means it's about as tall as 16:9 27" tall, so finesse is enough :)
1440 in height may be above average in the PC world today, but why do you think it is intended for games?
After all, a machine that uses thunderbolts makes it clear where its usability is headed.
I'm not saying that games wouldn't look great there, I don't know how toolbars from some graphic program would look there, but I think that the layout would be ideal for tools, also possible for editing videos, photos, if the rounding didn't distort.
I think this should have been his primary focus, not the gaming sphere, but the professional one, and there the resolution is weak.
13" Retina The MBP has more pixels in height and it's still not that perfect and it has 233PPI and this monitor only 106, similar to the display of the iMac without retina, but for me the resolution is low, it's a shame, otherwise it looks really great...
Will it bend?
