Earlier this year LG announced a very unique display – the LG 34UM95 – a 34 inch Ultra Widescreen monitor with a “cinematic” 21:9 aspect ratio and a generous 3440 x1440 resolution – perfect for editing those long videos.
4K displays are getting more and more common and although at least for windows users there still seem to be a long way to go before full compatibility of software will occur but the extra resolution is certainly appealing – especially for professionals working on image and video editing.

The new LG 34UM95 doesn’t seem to suffer from some of the problems of hidpi 4K displays when running windows and some 3’rd party software (including for example Photoshop – although Adobe recently demonstrated the next version of Photoshop CC which hopefully will resolve this). According to linus sebastian from LinusTechTips) the LG 34UM95 offers quite possible the best combination of quality and productivity of any display currently on the market (although its a bit questionable if true image professionals will choose it over pro level EIZO display for example which support advanced image calibration in hardware).

You lost me at *Tech Reviewer has clock flashing in the background*. Maybe it is some sort of joke that I’m not aware of. I wouldn’t mind the monitor though.
