LG at CES 2019 is set to announce two new monitors on its "Ultra" lineup, which includes the UltraWide and UltraGear product lines. The UltraWide is pretty self-explanatory, and will be populated by the 49WL95 monitor, a 49" IPS, dual QHD (5120 x 1440) resolution panel with a 32:9 aspect ratio (there's support for up to three PbP modes simultaneously, thus making this a triple monitor setup, should you so choose). 99% coverage of the sRGB color space ensures faithful color reproduction. There's also support for HDR10 content, though the typical brightness of the monitor stands at 350 nits (peak brightness not disclosed). Connectors stand at 1x USB-C, 2x HDMI 1x DP, and 4x USB 3.0.

The second monitor is on LGs UltraGear lineup. The 38GL950G features LG's Nano IPS technology and support for NVIDIA G-Sync and 144 Hz refresh rate. It has a 38" diagonal across a curved panel, a WQHD+ (3840 x 1600) resolution, and a more standard (or is that less wide?) 21:9 aspect ratio. A typical 450 nits brightness means this monitor also supports HDR content, and connectors include 1x HDMI, 1x DP, and 3x USB 3.0 (1 up / 2 down). If any of these monitor ticks your "I want it now" boxes, you might want to wait until CES for the actual announcement and availability info.

I think he was referring to the larger one, with the higher horizontal resolution. If you watch tennis, the ball moves back and forth, probably left to right on the screen, so you will have to either move your eyes, or move your head using your neck which will train said muscles.

Their existing "nano IPS" monitors way overpriced. Their current 34" ultra wide "nano IPS" monitor costs almost as much as their 55" OLED TV.

Hopefully LG starts designing decent I/O sections on their displays, instead of ports that are perpendicular to the back of the display - which makes it easy to break the ports, and requires more room (prevents wall mounting, if you ever wanted to).

What about the 3rd one, it looks like 16:9 and is maybe the UHD one?

Oh silly me, that's just one on top of another with a horrible bezel across the middle. :(

More 8bit+FRC, not-really-proper-HDR (not even HDR600 specs), not full 4K, no G-Sync HDR monitors.

The panel advancement in monitors has been appalling for the past two years.

Still waiting for that 32+ fast-response time, 100% rec.2020 coverage, real HDR1000, min 120Hz monitor with HDMI2.1 and DisplayPort1.4 that doesn't cost the price of two 55+ OLED TVs.

Perhaps in 2019, if we are lucky.

Monitors were always slow on tech. There's not enough incentive to put R&D into those small panels. VESA's DisplayHDR spec is also a joke to actual HDR (contrast ratios usually achieved only through local dimming).

But if anything it's been advancing far faster in recent years than earlier ones with adaptive sync, faster refresh, quantum dots, etc. Do recall that the first TV with quantum dots came out over 5 years ago. The manufacturers really know how to milk those monitor prices though.

I really like ultra-wides. It's just that right now, for all monitors, I feel like the "right" specs are missing. Every monitor seems to have good and bad aspects and price either makes it better or worse but not "right".

This is the very resolution that I have been waiting for.

This resolution has been out for over a year now. But only with Freesync and 75hz. LG was also the panel maker for the first 3840x1600 monitor.

That 38" one sure it's interesting. Especially with the res and 144Hz refresh. Too bad is going to cost as much as a 2nd hand car....

If it's similar in price to what I (over)paidfor my Predator I'm in.

Yeah I know me too. But honestly it's not bad at all. It's just that it's only 75hz. Waiting for the price of this and I'll sell mine

I think it was quite a brilliant line actually. It'll make sense to you too once you try doing that on such a panel :) 21:9 38 inch and high res? Yup, sounds like an incoming doctors' visit to me.

Lol, sure thing.

I'd be fine with 1440p or even 1080p, for reasonably priced OLED, but heck, where are they.

Shouldn't it be much cheaper to produce OLEDscreens of 27" size (as opposed to 55", which could be had for 1.5k USD and have 4 times the area).

Sure, if someone sits with their face six inches from the panel. I run dual monitors, and one is an ultrawide and no tennis neck required.

You'd be surprised how many people do, and even those who don't, eventually do crawl towards their monitor.
