LG Electronics begins selling the first 21:9 Curved UltraWide Monitor (model 34UC97) available in the United States for $1,299. The 34-inch (32.7-inches measured diagonally) monitor incorporates a curved In-Plane Switching (IPS) screen.The LED backlighting delivers deep black levels and rich colors and its Ultra Quad High Definition (UQHD) picture quality with 3440 x 1440 pixels make movies, games and sports come to life.

Designed for professional users and home entertainment enthusiasts, LG's flagship IPS 21:9 Curved UltraWide Monitor features the True Color Finder color calibration software to ensure color accuracy and supports Thunderbolt 2 for high-speed data transfers and multiple devices to be daisy chained together.

LG's 4-Screen Split feature makes multitasking easy by dividing the screen into up to four sections at eight different screen ratios. Users can prioritize windows by size and location instead of having to manually resize and position each window individually. A few mouse clicks enable the user to arrange windows quickly into a variety of configurations. In addition, a connectivity feature called Dual-Link Up allows the monitor to connect to two source devices (e.g., smartphones, PCs, cameras, Blu-ray players or gaming systems) and display each on a single screen simultaneously.

The monitor also features MAXXAUDIO and 7W stereo speaker system.

LG's 34UC97 will be available nationwide in October at online and regional retailers including Amazon, Tiger Direct, Newegg, Fry's B&H and Adorama for $1,299.
