With this new monitor, the LG brand announces the arrival of a really imposing screen. This last one proposes a diagonal of 40″ via a curved nano-IPS panel in 21:9. Regarding the resolution, we are dealing with 5K (5120 x 2160). However, the reactivity is not its strong point with a latency of 5 ms gray to gray and a frequency of 72 Hz.
The other characteristics are quite classic with a brightness of 300 cd/m² and a contrast of 1000:1. Otherwise, we learn that it covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color range or that it offers viewing angles of 178 °. Similarly, it is also HDR10 and has AMD FreeSync compatibility.
Finally, we will retain the presence of an articulated foot, however, given the size, difficult to pass in portrait mode you do well. The connectivity highlights two HDMI, a DisplayPort and a Thunderbolt. A USB 3.0 hub for two ports is also part of the game as well as the headphone socket. Finally, note that two 10W speakers are present.
For the moment, no price is known, however, according to Guru3D, we can expect a price around 1500 euros.
