LG Is Making a 49″ UltraWide Monitor

Giant monitors are all the rage these days, especially when they’re curved and outfitted with more screen real estate than any normal human being could ever capitalize on. Back in our day, 20″ was the best you could hope for without having to go multi-monitor. Those days are long gone because LG just revealed details on their latest upcoming UltraWide display with a massive 49″ of screen real estate and a native resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels. It also has USB-C docking capabilities with enough power to feed most 15″ laptops, 350 nits peak brightness, 99% coverage of the sRGB color space, integrated 10W speakers and HDR10 compatibility. It doesn’t quite have the refresh rate you’d need for epic gaming sessions, but it’s a great workstation monitor. If you’re looking for some EOY purchase options for the ol’ expense account and you’d prefer working on one enormous monitor instead of two 27″ options side-by-side, look no further than this 49″ option from LG.
