LG Debuts Extremely Wide EA93 Monitor at IFA 2012

LG recently debuted a rather strange looking monitor before displaying it at this year's IFA 2012 conference. The monitor itself is designed with those who like to multitask in mind as well as people who really enjoy watching movies on their computers. Known as the EA93, this 29" monitor comes with a 21:9 aspect ratio, which is also the same ratio used in movie theaters, as well as a native WQHD resolution of 2,560 x 1,080, which makes it perfect for watching Blu-ray movies or gaming without having to deal with distracting screen bezels that typically come with multi-monitor setups.

In addition to movie buffs and multitaskers, the EA93 is also targeting photographers, multimedia professionals and others. The large frame and the ability for the screen to be split are some of the more appealing features for these users. The screen-splitting feature allows you to break up the display into four different segments and also allows for a variety of customizing options. What's more is that the Dual Link-up function also allows two devices to be connected to the monitor simultaneously, like your computer and a video game console, for example.

The EA93 also comes with a response time of 5ms and a 178-degree viewing angle, both horizontally and vertically. As far as connectivity options are concerned, the EA93 comes with one DVI-D Dual port, two HDMI ports, four USB 3.0 ports, one DisplayPort, PC audio in and headphone out. There is also support for Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), allowing you to mirror the contents of your smartphone or tablet while simultaneously charging it as well.

Unfortunately, LG has yet to announce an exact release date, nor have they given out exact pricing information either. However, the EA93 wasn't the only thing that LG debuted at IFA 2012. In addition to this monitor, LG debuted the EA83, a 27" IPS monitor with a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution that will sell for €800, or a little over $1,000 USD. This monitor comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio and features a plethora of ports, including one DVI-D Dual, HDMI and USB 3.0.

LG's IPS4 to Launch in Asia Next Month, Europe and US to Follow

Companies like to talk up their products, that's no surprise to anybody. Companies like to say that their product is the best one on the market and that it can do all these wonderful things that the competition cannot. Nowhere is that more prevalent than in the technology industry. With each new version of a product you get more and more companies saying how theirs is the best, hands down. The latest company to do so is LG with its newest computer monitor, the LG IPS4.

According to LG, the IPS4 is said to deliver "Stunning picture quality, lifelike color expression, original color consistency and enhanced viewing comfort." The reality is, however, that most of the things companies say their products do so well actually only do them ok, which is upsetting when a company sets such high expectations for the product. The same goes for the IPS4. LG has promised a lot of awesome things, though having them actually perform like the company says is a different story.

Aside from all those other things I just mentioned, the LG IPS4 is also said to offer In-Plane Switching (hence the name IPS4) as opposed to your standard Twisted Nematic (TN) panels. In addition to that, the IPS4 is also said to have a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, which would allow multiple people to view the monitor simultaneously without losing picture quality. Smooth Color Change will also eliminate blur generated from rapid motion in action sequences, sports or video games, also eliminating fatigue on your eyes.

A Dual Smart Solution feature, which relies on a simple, one click setup and is capable of running dual monitors, will also be included. This feature will also result in dual taskbar and auto-optimized dual web split screen display. A cable management design is also standard and is designed to eliminate the need for your cables to wrap around each other, creating a mess behind your computer.

Unfortunately, LG has yet to release any kind of pricing on the IPS4 though they have announced a release schedule for when and where you can pick this device up. The monitor will launch next month in Asia, followed by a release in Europe and then coming to the United States last. Once the monitor goes on sale in Asia we should be able to determine the rough cost for both the European and United States markets, so stay tuned for pricing details in the very near future.
