LG To Introduce 21:9 Gaming Monitor With AMD FreeSync At CES 2015
LG Electronics plans to introduce the first 21:9 "UltraWide" gaming monitor compatible with AMD FreeSync technology for fluid motion during fast gameplay. LG's UltraWide Gaming Monitor (34UM67) headlines LG's lineup being unveiled next week at the 2015 International CES. It is the company's first 21:9 monitor specifically developed for graphics-intensive gaming. AMD's FreeSync technology eliminates the screen tearing that occurs when the monitor and graphics card are out of sync. Furthermore FreeSync technology guarantees a smooth gaming experience, generating fluid motion without any loss of frame rate.
The 34UM67 also has an UltraWide field of view (FOV), allowing gamers to gain the upper hand by revealing hidden spaces that were invisible on regular 16:9 monitors. The monitor's Black Stabilizer illuminates dark scenes and helps to clearly define the deep black areas where objects and enemies could be hidden. The Dynamic Action Sync mode minimizes input lag. Many popular games such as Battlefield 4, World of Warcraft and ArcheAge currently support 21:9 resolution with more games expected to support this resolution in the future.
LG's curved 34-inch UltraWide monitor (34UC97) in Quad HD resolution (3440 x 1440) makes maximum use of its wide screen real estate. It allows professionals, such as graphic designers or photographers, to look at more images as thumbnails and media creators to see longer video image sequences or graphical representations of sound. The monitor is compatible with Thunderbolt 2, which allows for Mac users to take advantage of its high-speed bulk data transfers.
The monitor's 178-degree viewing angle of the In-Plane Switching (IPS) display recreates colors across over 99 percent of the sRGB color space. The monitor's color accuracy, viewing angle and sRGB color space have been certified by TUV Rheinland and Intertek and also validated by UL.
The 21:9 Curved UltraWide Multi-Display (34UC87M) provides various multiple-display set-up options. This monitor can be used as a trading workstation or a large dashboard to display charts, quotes or pending orders on each screen, allowing the user to explore a wider range of opportunities.
LG will also showcase the Digital Cinema 4K Monitor (Model 31MU97) featuring 4K resolution (4096 x 2160), with more pixels than standard Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160). The 31MU97 shows 4K content as it was meant to be seen with native resolution and it is also well suited for handling Digital Intermediate (DI) processes. With over 99.5 percent Adobe Color Space, it is the ideal monitor for accurate color management.
In related news, LG Corp., the holding company of LG Group, said it will use a new corporate logo on group units and for PR activities from this year.
It left its main circular-type symbol unchanged. However, it enlarged the letter size of "LG" in the logo. It also increased the number of font thicknesses to four types-? light, regular, semi-bold and bold - from the current one.
The new logo will be used on all LG-manufactured products by affiliates, signs, surfaces of LG buildings and webpages.
