LG to show its latest Ultra monitors at CES

At CES, 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 new 49" LG UltraWide Monitor (model 49WL95) is built to boost productivity for any task while LG’s latest UltraGear Gaming Monitor (model 38GL950G) combines picture quality with speed to deliver an immersive experience.

LG’s newest UltraWide Monitor features a 32:9 aspect ratio curved screen. With its cinematic scale, the 49" LG 49WL95 replaces a multiscreen setup for multitasking. A pixel count of 5,120 x 1,440 (equivalent to two 27" Quad High Definition displays side-by-side) and 108 pixels per inch (PPI) ensures optimal image clarity.

Utilising LG’s IPS technology, the latest UltraWide Monitor offers accurate colour reproduction covering 99% of the sRGB color space. With support for HDR10, this monitor is also capable of displaying HDR-enabled games and video.

The LG UltraWide Monitor also features a Picture-by-Picture (PBP) 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.

LG is also debuting its new Nano IPS UltraGear Monitor for gamers at CES, with support for NVIDIA G-SYNC and a 144 Hz refresh rate for fluid gaming without tearing. Vivid images are standard on the monitor’s 3,840 x 1,600 resolution and 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.

“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 prioritise productivity, picture quality and out-of-this-world gaming, more and more consumers are seeing LG as a innovation leader in monitors.”
