LG 2560×1440, 21:9 ratio PC monitor revealed

LG Electronics (LG) unveiled two new IPS monitors – the EA93 and EA83 – at the IFA tradeshow in Berlin recently. The 29-inch EA93 is designed for entertainment, while the 27-inch EA83 is aimed at handling graphics-intensive applications.

“The most noticeable feature on the EA93 is the cinematic screen: a 21:9 display – the same ratio used in real movie theaters – that works as a solution for home entertainment and multitasking,” LG said in a press statement.

“The EA83 lets consumers take advantage of Wide Quad High Definition (WQHD) resolution (2560×1440 pixels). WQHD offers ample screen real estate for power users looking to multitask and provides one of the widest colour spaces available.”

“Through continuous innovation of our IPS monitors, we are raising the user experience to a whole new level for home entertainment and graphic professional use,” said J.J. Lee, executive vice president and head of the IT business unit at the LG Home Entertainment Company.

“The EA93’s immersive 21:9 cinematic screen and the EA83’s advantages when it comes to advanced graphics applications make these newest monitors compelling additions to our premium IPS monitor line-up.”

LG South Africa said that local availability and pricing details are still to be confirmed.
