LG Unveils New IPS UltraWide Curved Thunderbolt Monitor

[CES 2016] Ever wondered why more OEMs are starting to create curved displays? It has been said that curved displays offer up a more immersive experience, thanks to the curved edges allowing the viewer to take more in compared to a regular flat-screen display. For some users they might not notice the difference, but for some this is an important feature.

Now if you’d like to get yourself a curved display for the home, you will be interested to learn that LG has announced a new 21:9 IPS UltraWide Curved Thunderbolt monitor. As its name suggests, this is a curved display and it will offer up a resolution of 3440 x 1440. LG is also boasting that the 34-inch display will offer up a field of view equivalent to a 37-inch screen, so if you’re pressed for space, this should do the trick.

In addition to the curved display and high resolution, the monitor will also sport features like Dual Link-Up (which is essentially Picture-by-Picture), and Dual Controller. The latter allows users to connect more than one device to the monitor, so if you have a desktop but would like to connect a laptop to the monitor, you won’t have to pull out plugs or swap cables thanks to it.

Pricing and availability of the display was not mentioned, but given its size and the fact that it sports a curved screen, chances are it will not come cheap.
