Providing an excellent multi-tasking environment, the 21:9 monitor market is growing rapidly
LG Electronics ranks first in sales and volume for 3rd year in a row

On the 18th, LG Electronics released the 38-inch ultra-wide monitor (model name: 38UC99), the world's largest with a 21:9 screen ratio, in the domestic market.

The combination of a 21:9 screen ratio that is excellent for multitasking and a large 38-inch screen provides users with a next-level experience.

The new product uses a QHD+ (Quad High Definition+ 3,840x1,600) display, which has a resolution about three times that of Full HD (1,920x1,080). The screen area is similar to that of two 24-inch monitors with a 16:9 screen ratio, which are commonly used for business purposes, placed side by side. The IPS panel accurately expresses colors and is clear from any angle.

This product is excellent for analysis work such as stock analysis and statistical work, as it allows you to display various charts and information on one screen. It is also convenient for web design and architectural design, etc., as they can be displayed on a large screen.

Convenience is also excellent. Users can listen to music by connecting their smartphones and monitor speakers via Bluetooth. Screen settings such as screen brightness and split ratio can also be easily changed with just mouse operation. In addition, if you connect it to a laptop using the USB Type-C terminal, you can charge the laptop without a separate charger while looking at the monitor screen. The new product is priced at 1.59 million won.

The global market size of monitors with a 21:9 aspect ratio increased by more than 80% last year compared to the previous year thanks to their advantage of being able to open multiple windows at the same time. LG Electronics has maintained the top spot in this market for three consecutive years from 2013 to last year in terms of both sales and volume.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics' ultra-wide monitor promotional video (http://goo.gl/HWhGFs) released last month is also gaining popularity, garnering over 1.5 million views in just one month.

This video shows British genius artist Stephen Wiltshire, who has savant syndrome*, remembering a view of Seoul and then painting it on a giant canvas.

Reflecting the opinions of netizens who want to see the work in person, LG Electronics will be exhibiting paintings by Stephen Wilshire and new ultra-wide monitor products on the 4th floor of Namsan Seoul Tower Plaza from today until the 24th.

LG Electronics Korea Sales Headquarters HE Marketing FD Managing Director Jae-cheol Heo emphasized, “We will present a new standard for premium monitors with an ultra-wide monitor that is strong in multitasking.”
