LG Electronics has listed the 34WQ500-B UltraWide Monitor on its official website in Germany. The listing of the monitor indicates its launch may be imminent. The LG 34WQ500-B is compatible with AMD Freesync and can be used as a gaming monitor.
The LG 34WQ500-B UltraWide Monitor has a
34-inch full HD IPS display with a 21:9 aspect ratio. It is noted that the
model has already gone on sale in the US since it was announced last year. The
UltraWide Monitor supports VESA DisplayHDR 400 with a typical brightness of 400
cd/sq.meter. The contrast ratio of the monitor is 1,000:1 with a 99% coverage
of the sRGB color gamut. The monitor offers a wide 178º viewing angle and a
screen resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels. It is up to a third (33%) wider than a
standard FHD screen.
The LG 34WQ500-B Monitor has a 1ms Motion
Blur Reduction (MBR) which delivers a smoother image. However, when AMD
Freesync is enabled, MBR cannot be used. The monitor has a GtG response time of
5ms and a display refresh rate of 100Hz. In terms of sound, the LG UltraWide
Monitor has two in-built 7W stereo speakers with MaxxAudio. The monitor has a
USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. It also has an HDMI IN port and
a 3.5mm audio jack.
Apart from its listing and some of its
specs, LG has not provided the release optics for the 34WQ500-B Monitor in
Germany. The price of the model has also not been released. In the US, the LG
34WQ500-B UltraWide Monitor is priced at US$ 329.99 and the European price could
be marginally different from this. The model could also find its way to other
EU markets apart from Germany.
