Whether you’re a hardcore multitasker, a tech fanatic, or simply just a bit myopic, LG has a new monitor to pique your interest. The EA93 UltraWide Monitor is a whopping 29-inches wide and boasts a 21:9 aspect ratio. The company says it’s the world’s first monitor with that format.
LG is focusing on the new product’s multitasking capabilities for its launch. Not only does the impressive size mean plenty of space for however many documents, files, or windows you might have open at once, but the EA93 also has a feature called 4-Screen Split, which allows you to divvy up screen real estate into quarters, with the ability to separately customize each section. That could make this monitor a possible alternative for people who use a dual-screen setup. In fact, it has a Dual Link-up option to connect the monitor to two external devices, which means you could have a similar setup to multiple monitors without any variation in color or image quality. It also features a DVI-D port and two HDMI connectors.
The company insists that the UltraWide monitor can perform double duty as a machine for work and personal use. The aspect ratio makes the EA93 an excellent choice for watching movies. With a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1080, the IPS display is designed for people who live and die by intense visuals. Although LG has not given a price point for this impressive monitor, it is due to roll out in South Korea early this month before making its way to the US market.
LG has been making waves with its efforts to improve screen quality this year. The company has gone very small with a 5-inch LCD screen with high definition and 440ppi, and insanely big with a whopping 84-inch Ultra HD television. Between these updates, Apple’s proliferation of Retina displays, and other companies working hard to offer comparable technologies, computing will only be getting easier on the eyes.
Mistake #1: It isn’t curved
Any other mistakes besides it not being curved?
Perfect. Compliments my work style. I’ll get it if it gets excellent reviews
This is like that one episode of family guy and they’re watching ultra wide screen vision and its a tiny line across the screen. Reminds me of it.
i hope this thing is cheap, because it’s the same horizontal rez as the Apple/Dell 27″ displays, and minus about 300 pixels in the vertical direction.. so while it looks all sleek and nifty, it’s serving up less rez than what’s already available in the non-retina world
Yeah, where the heck is the curve!!
now if they could just wrap around back just a bit with that screen…
if it was curved.. then perfect! one monitor for ultra wide resolution instead of 3..
shit. right now im running 2, 22″ lg monitors… can yall make a 21:9 but like…. 42 inches? lol
Clicking that Want button in my head
I would have liked to have it curved.
that would be gangster.
nice
What good is it if you can’t use it as a touch screen with windows 8? Besides when monitors get that wide it gets to be hard to have 2 on your desk .. currently I have 3 24 inch monitors with a matrox triple head to go digital… it would be nice if these larger monitors had a curvature to them so you can have more of a seemless panoramic view and wouldn’t require a larger desk…
At the moment I’m using 3 Samsung 27″ monitors…this would be all I would need…out with the old and in with the new.
Ed Dodds doesn’t look like the stand adjusts high enough to rotate the screen into portrait mode.
“they need a butler for that. butlers love Sony.”
no, it’s a geek model, kardashians can’t figure out how to turn them on, they need a butler for that. butlers love Sony.
I can get 16 screens on my 19 inch LCD monitors at work . :P
“with the ability to break down the 29-inch screen into four split screens,”
This remind me of the good ole days with two or three monitors for OA’s in the computer room.
Sweet
does it rotate so I can read full pdfs?
now if they could just wrap around back just a bit with that screen…
Wow, it’s a Kardassian model!
In love
sweet
Any links to the announcement or where I can get more info. Sounds rad… but… where do I find it.
I meant to make that first sentence a question. So:
Any links to the announcement or where I can get more info?
Do you need two cable connections to connect this to you computer? I am also disappointed that the horizontal resolution is only 1080. Isn’t the iMac 27-inch 2560 x1440? (granted it’s a larger screen)
