LG to Introduce 34-inch IPS 21:9 UltraWide (Model UM95) monitor

Mine is here!

USA version came with an HDMI and a Display Port cable!

Plugged it in and checked for dead pixels, none on any colour fullscreen so that is good and the backlight looks fine, I turned the brightness down a bit (100 is nuts) and fullscreen black looks great.

New desk is here on Thursday so once I have it properly setup I will take some pictures and post some impressions.
 
Yeah I didn't modify diablo 3 at all so it's not optimal but it works, I don't like to mess around too much :D

Not supposed to mention competitors, but lets say I didn't buy in the monitor in the UK.

16:9 image. Apologies for the photo quality again, man it's bad, makes me want to get a new smartphone just for the camera!

21:9 image - truly a spectacular sight to behold. You get completely swept away watching a movie on this monitor for the first time. Even old movies feel like new on this!

One thing that is slightly taking the sheen off is the AG glare. I may have to find a new position for the monitor as it could be annoying long term. I'm right beside a window.

On diablo3 you can have your inventory open for gear changes and you still see almost everything! Can't wait to play Watch Dogs on this :)

Anyone know if blu rays support 21:9. Really want one of these,BAD!
 
But no TV is 21:9 so the effect isn't quite the same as with no borders :p

I’ve been testing out 4K HD (avc) content since last night and discovered in MPC-BE that using the DXVA decoders cause a stutter every now and then. Disabling DXVA bypassing the GPU is all fine. Probably explains why VLC/WMP etc all played the same files smoothly. Weird. I’ve updated GFX drivers too but I seem to recall reading something a while back about GTX780 and microstutters so perhaps this is related.

I don’t mind, disabling DXVA doesn’t tax my CPU and everything is smooth so whatever works I suppose.

The UltraWide 21:9 aspect ratio makes movies and games more immersive than ever. Need to get some work done, too? All of that UltraWide real estate makes it easy to view multiple documents at the same time, so you don't need to flip back and forth between them.

The 3440X1440 UltraWide QHD display offers amazingly sharp picture quality. Its pixel area is about 1.8 times larger than an UltraWide Full HD 21:9 monitor, and about 2.4 times larger than a Full HD 16:9 monitor. It provides an efficient environment in using Microsoft Office programs showing 47 columns and 63 rows in excel.

sRGB is the standard color space of ideal color reproduction. So, with over 99% coverage of the sRGB spectrum, this LG monitor is a great solution for professional photographers, graphic designers or anyone looking for highly accurate color.

Multitasking doesn't have to mean shuffling back and forth between windows*. With a single click, the 4-Screen Split feature divides the screen into as many as four customizable segments, two-by-two. Now you can see four different windows at the same time.

The Dual Linkup feature allows two compatible portable devices--such as a computer, camera, phone, or Blu-ray player--to be connected to the monitor, and both can be viewed on the same screen simultaneously.

This monitor's Thunderbolt input/output port allows you to connect up to six compatible devices, moving data between them with incredible speed. The two channels of 10-gigabits-per-second throughput in both directions are up to 20X faster than USB 2.0. Thunderbolt is an exciting innovation for both expansion and premium video display.

The DisplayPort digital video interface is used to connect a high-performance video source to a high-resolution monitor. Thanks to its sophisticated design, a DisplayPort cable can also be used to carry audio, USB signals and other data as well.

LG’s LED backlighting delivers exceptional brightness and amazing image clarity. You'll see richer colors and deeper blacks too, and LEDs offer greater energy efficiency compared to conventional LCD monitors.

My sensible head tells me to wait to see what the DELL U3415W is like and not jump in, I can see these dropping by £200 in 2/3 months!

I am sorely tempted though, oh why am I so old and sensible ;)

I see this being the case too... But for once I'm giving in to temptation.
