Image used with permission of the copyright holder LG decided to go big at IFA — at least when it comes to monitors. The company announced details of three ultra-wide, curved displays ahead of its September 1st press conference. These include two 34-inch models and a 38-inch Titan, the largest of its kind.
Let’s start with the big boy. At 38 inches diagonally, the LG 38UC99 is a curved 21:9 set that uses IPS panel technology and offers a resolution of 3480 x 1600, the highest we’ve seen from a curved monitor to date. LG also says it offers stunning colors thanks to a color gamut that covers 99 percent of the sRGB standard. It has a USB Type-C port for transferring data to additional devices and a pair of 10W speakers. Surprisingly, LG says the speakers are Bluetooth-enabled, so you can connect your smartphone (and other devices) wirelessly.
Of course, these features will cost you. LG says the screen, which will go on sale in mid-September, will be priced at $1,499.

Next up is the LG 34UC79G. This 34-inch ultra-wide monitor is aimed at gamers with its 144Hz refresh rate and IPS display. LG says it’s the first of its kind, which seems accurate due to its use of IPS technology — although there are other high-refresh monitors that use a different panel technology. The display also offers support for AMD’s FreeSync, a display synchronization technology that evens out the frame rate in a game. Gamers will need $699 to snag this display when it launches in October.
And then there’s the LGUM79G. Designed for multimedia use, this ultrawide 34-inch IPS is known for its premium frame. LG says this makes for a more immersive experience with movies and games, although the 34UM79G, unlike the 34UC79G, does not support AMD FreeSync. This model has built-in support for Google Cast, so multiple devices can stream directly to it. It will debut for a modest $599 in November.
This is a powerful display of LG’s new displays. The 38-inch 21:9 monitor is certainly a way to make a statement, and it will eclipse the next largest models (which stretch to 35 inches) — unless any of LG’s competitors have their own massive screens to show this year.
