LG launches new ultrawide monitor with near

There are plenty of ultrawide monitors on the market, and there's a fair choice of 5K and 4K ones as well, but having both in one package is a rarity -- usually a very expensive one.

That might change with LG's new 34-inch, ultrawide monitor. The sexily named 34WK95U measures 34 inches diagonal and has 5,120 x 2,160-pixel resolution, and it's the first monitor with those specs from the Korean electronics giant.

While that resolution is not technically5K (that would be 5,120 x 2,880), it's still pretty great, especially for those who care more for the wide, 21:9 format than the vertical pixel count.

The monitor sports a Thunderbolt 3 port, meaning you can send a 60Hz, 5K-resolution image from another device (like, say, an iMac Pro?) through a single cable. LG also highlighted the monitor's slim borders on all four sides, slim stand, and support for the HDR600 standard, a relatively new certification that grades a monitor's capability to display HDR (high dynamic range) images.

While widescreen monitors are typically optimized for gamers, this one is geared towards "video editors, photographers, and software and app developers," says LG.

The company has also announced a 32-inch, UHD 4K monitor called 32UK950, with a peak brightness of 600 cd/㎡ and a Thunderbolt 3 docking display, which allows for a dual-4K-monitor setup.

Both the 32- and the 34-inch model support LG's Nano IPS technology, which should ideally enhance color intensity and offer a more accurate picture.

LG will show off both new monitors at next year's CES, which officially kicks off Jan. 9 in Las Vegas.
