LG Electronics has launched its latest LG MyView Smart Monitor (model 34SR60QC), the company’s first smart monitor featuring a 34-inch curved, 21:9 aspect ratio UltraWide screen. The 34SR60QC is also ideal for those seeking a movie theater-like experience at home and allows users to enjoy 21:9 content as it was meant to be seen, eliminating the letterboxing needed to preserve the aspect ratio on conventional 16:9 monitors.
“By expanding the LG MyView Smart Monitor lineup with our new 34-inch curved UltraWide model, we are providing consumers with a comprehensive productivity and entertainment solution,” said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Business Solutions Company. “We will continue to introduce versatile smart monitors that combine innovative designs with premium performance and practical features.”
The newly-released LG MyView Smart Monitor boasts a 34-inch WQHD (3,440 x 1,440) resolution VA panel, delivering 300 nits of brightness, a wide viewing angle, and 99 percent coverage of the sRGB color gamut. These specifications, combined with the screen’s 21:9 format, make the LG MyView an excellent ‘side-by-side’ desktop companion for office workers, developers and other digital professionals.
Like all LG MyView Smart Monitors, the 34SR60QC comes equipped with the LG webOS platform, which provides access to a wide range of content services including Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, personalized viewing recommendations and intuitive navigation. The 21:9 UltraWide display provides additional screen space, allowing users to keep multiple tabs and windows open at the same time and arrange them optimally using the built-in Screen Split function. What’s more, users can take advantage of apps such as mail, online document editors, and cloud storage directly on the monitor without having to connect to a PC or laptop.
The extra width of the 34SR60QC enables users to operate productivity apps in full screen (16:9) mode and still have enough room for helpful generative AI tools, which can be conveniently pinned to the right-hand part of the display in a smaller-sized (5:9) window.
Additionally, with AirPlay 2 and ScreenShare support, users can stream or mirror content from their smartphones, enjoying all their go-to mobile apps and games on the monitor’s large, curved screen. Once the LG MyView Smart Monitor has been connected to the LG ThinQ smart home platform, the ThinQ app can transform the user’s smartphone into a remote offering both touch- and voice-control capabilities. For additional convenience, users can manage monitor settings and navigate and search webOS using a keyboard and mouse.
