New LG monitors

Quite Simply - Yes, there will be a 27UD69P replacement with HDR

infact, we have 3 new models of 27" 4k UHD coming out replacing the current 27" range and all have HDR
 
CES 2018 is going to be interesting! I expect we will see these then?

Any 34" ultrawides with HDR in the pipeline?

from what I can see, there will be a new 38" Ultrawide with HDR

And then there will be 2 models of 34" Ultrawide with Nano IPS and HDR, one will be 3440x1440, the other I believe will be 5K with TB3

Found other reports suggesting the 34GK950G is 2560x1440 - which sounds odd for a 34" panel. If it is an UW then I would assume either 2560 x 1080 or ideally a nice high refresh 3440 x 1440.

Will just have to wait for more concrete details on that one.
 
Will people need a new GPU for HDR ? or does todays GPU's outputs already support HDR

As with TV's you need the latest HDMI spec on your TV,AV amp, Blu-ray player, etc to be able to get HDR

And I don't know if today GPU's support HDR over DP

I see that LG will show the first 4k ultrawide at CES and wonder if you have any additional info other than what's in this article you can tell us.
A 5120x2160 monitor will be my next upgrade (currently on 3440x1440), It's great to see this finally becoming a reality.

That pixel density on a 34" ultrawide should make for amazing visuals.

I'm not sure what he means when he say's this though?
There are plenty of ultrawide monitors on the market, and there's a fair choice of 5K and 4K ones as well, but having both in one package is a rarity — usually a very expensive one.

I haven't seen any until now.

Me either, I think he may be getting confused with the Dell, LG and HP 5k 27" displays- they're not UW though...

[EDIT] and doesn't look like the Dell or HP are manufactured anymore, or at least widely available

He got a few things a bit off, for example regardless of how LG try to use the 5k buzzword for marketing it it is just a 4k ultrawide. I said that a bit flippantly but it is true, I've been waiting for 4k UW to appear, for me it'll be my next upgrade in a few years once we can get 100hz 4k UW monitors and gpu's with the ability to run it.

Isn't the 5K ultrawide Thunderbolt only? No mention of other inputs.

It's 4k ultrawide not 5k they line up against their 16:9 equivalents like this

widescreen = ultrawide equivalent
1920x1080 = 2560x1080,
2560x1440 = 3440x1440,
2560x1600 = 3840x1600,
3840x2160 = 5120x2160.

5120 x 2880 = ????x2880

They'll always have the same vertical pixel count but I don't know the exact math to calculate what the 5k ultrawide horizontal count is, maybe someone else knows, This might help https://www.sven.de/dpi/

Interestingly it looks like 21:9 is just used for marketing purposes (shouldn't really be surprised)

1080 uses a 64:27 ratio (21 and 1/3 : 9).

I expect it would use the same ratio as 1440 which is 43:18 so would be 6880 x 2880

Hi, you'd of thought there'd be an industry wide standard in effect by now but we often see differences between TV, monitor & Cinema size standards. It'll certainly make life simpler when they do match up with each other, for us and them.
