LG Reveals New 38-Inch and 34-Inch UltraWide Monitors

LG has unveiled two impressive new UltraWide monitors, including the World’s largest 38-inch curved model (38UC99). The other 21:9 aspect ratio monitor is a 34-inch curved 144Hz IPS panel (34UC79G).

38UC99

“Offering unrivaled screen real-estate, model 38UC99 is ideal for tasks that require attention to details,” LG says. “In addition to its roomy design, this monitor’s advanced IPS UltraWide QHD+ (3840 x 1600) resolution and wide color gamut covering 99 percent of the sRGB color space make the 38UC99 a natural choice for anyone who takes visual performance seriously.

“The monitor boasts crystal clear immersive picture quality alongside a number of convenience enhancing features, creating an unparalleled user experience. These factors make the 38UC99 the perfect workstation monitor for visual content creators, data crunchers and other multitasking professionals.

38UC99 is the first of its kind to feature a USB Type-C port, and includes two built-in 10W Bluetooth-compatible speakers – with Rich Bass audio output in the 85Hz bass range – and one millisecond Motion Blur Reduction.

34UC79G

“As the world’s first 144Hz IPS 21:9 Curved UltraWide TM gaming monitor, the 34UC79G combines a blindingly fast refresh rate with advanced one millisecond Motion Blur Reduction,” according to LG. “The monitor boasts seamless image transitions without annoying afterimages and the IPS display delivers accurate color expression from any angle without distortion.”

“With features such as Black Stabilizer and Dynamic Action Sync, the 34UC79G is specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s gamers. Black Stabilizer provides extra clear contrast, allowing viewers to detect darker objects hidden in hard to see areas. Dynamic Action Sync reduces input lag so that users can enjoy fast-paced gameplay without any delays.”

The 34UC79G also features AMD FreeSync technology to prevent screen tearing and stuttering, plus a crosshair option for increased accuracy playing first-person shooters.

The 38-inch 38UC99 is released in September, while the 34-inch 34UC79G is out in October, priced $1,500 and $700, respectively.
