LG Freesync Ultrawide 34UM67 & New Professional Monitors - CES 2015

The CES 2015 coverage highlights LG’s evolution in monitors, focusing on their Freesync ultrawide option, the 34UM67. The presenter explains that the key feature is AMD's Freesync, a standard developed with VESA and panel manufacturers to enable the GPU to control monitor refresh rates, reducing tearing and stutter when frame rates fluctuate. The 34 inch ultrawide panel uses a 2560 by 1080 resolution, and LG emphasizes the gaming-oriented benefits of synchronized refresh rates rather than just the panel technology itself. In addition, LG introduces a separate 31 inch professional model with a 4K-like color space coverage, boasting 99.5% of the Adobe RGB color space, pre-calibration, and a high-end IPS panel for creators. The video notes three USB 3.0 ports, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, and dual HDMI as standard inputs, along with a design emphasis on slim bezels and ergonomic stands, including height adjustment for both consumer and business-oriented setups. The host predicts pricing will be similar to the UC series and hints at a future full review, while also acknowledging sponsor integrations from Phantom Glass and HyperX as part of the CES experience. Throughout, the focus remains on how these new LG monitors cater to both gamers and professionals, balancing gaming performance with color accuracy and professional usability, and setting the stage for further hands-on testing and comparisons with existing ultrawide and 4K offerings.
