LG DIVERSIFIES IPS 21:9 ULTRAWIDE MONITOR LINEUP

Featuring Three New Models, the Expanded UltraWide Series Reaffirms LG’s Leadership in the Growing 21:9 Monitor Segment 

Karachi, 16 August 2013: – LG Electronics (LG) today announced the addition of the 29EA73, 29EB73 and 29MA73 to its existing IPS 21:9 Ultra Wide monitor lineup. Each model features an expansive 21:9 screen, enabling the consumer to work on multiple files simultaneously or get the most out of movies and games. The IPS 21:9 UltraWide series also incorporates several other outstanding features that take multitasking and entertainment to the next level.

“LG’s IPS 21:9 UltraWide series represents a bold re-imagining of the traditional computer monitor,” said Hyoung-sei Park, head of IT business division of LG Electronics’ Home Entertainment company. “Powerful work and entertainment solutions, our cinematically proportioned displays boast superb productivity-enhancing features and incredible IPS picture quality. LG will continue to develop new products that challenge preconceptions and offer new and exciting possibilities.”

Hassle-free Multitasking

LG’s 29-inch IPS 21:9 UltraWide monitors provide users with the screen space necessary to display multiple windows simultaneously. The ability to view more data on a single screen is well suited to the demands of many modern professions. For enhanced multitasking performance, the convenient 4-Screen Split feature automatically divides the screen into four segments. With just a few quick mouse clicks, these segments can be repositioned into a variety of useful configurations. Meanwhile, Dual Link-up offers another way to increase productivity, enabling users to simultaneously access and view information stored on two external devices.

Furthermore, the new 29EB73 includes an ergonomic adjustable stand. This thoughtful piece of design makes it possible to quickly reposition the monitor to the most comfortable height, helping to reduce stress and create a more pleasant and productive work environment.

Ideal for Movies and Games

The IPS 21:9 UltraWide series is ideal for home entertainment. Sure to please the most demanding movie buffs, LG’s 21:9 aspect ratio displays deliver a truly cinematic viewing experience. The advanced monitors are also great for gamers, allowing them to fully enjoy action-packed multiplayer titles and take advantage of the latest 21:9-format games.

Employing LG’s advanced IPS display technology, the UltraWide lineup offers lifelike images, accurate color reproduction and an extremely wide viewing angle. The outstanding picture quality of the company’s IPS monitors has received a number of sought-after product certifications and industry accolades, and has recently been recognized by Germany’s Plus X Award Jury. Making it easy for users to maintain optimal color accuracy, LG’s IPS 21:9 UltraWide series monitors ship hardware-color-calibration ready.

In addition to Mac compatibility, the UltraWide series supports several connectivity options including Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), HDMI and DisplayPort. These features transform the UltraWide monitor into a powerful entertainment hub, allowing the user to mirror or transmit content from a range of devices including smartphones, laptops and tablets.

The 29MA73 model comes with a TV tuner and the new Extra View picture-in-picture feature. Users can access and view TV schedules, smartphone games and other content in the Extra View window while watching TV at the same time. With this convenient new feature, the IPS 21:9 UltraWide monitor is essentially able to provide an IPTV-like experience.
