this here episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by lynda.com what's up everyone John written TechnoBuffalo here today we're taking a look at the LG 34 um 95 - P a very unsexy name for a very sexy ridiculously wide monitor let's go take a look and see if it's worth the thousand dollar investment so back in January at CES one of my favorite things that I saw and put that in perspective there were just every piece of technology in the world is that CES and this one stuck out was one of the coolest things of time LG didn't know if they were gonna produce it and how much it was gonna cost but they did and we know 9999 it is available now so this behemoth is 34 inches which is pretty awesome 21 by 9 aspect ratio it is qHD which means it's got 34 40 by 1440 for just four words worth an Apple 27-inch Thunderbolt Display is 2560 by that same 1440 so just crazy amount of pixels slammed into this guy so from the design perspective it's really good-looking it's got very thin bezels it's got sort of a glass plastic base it's nothing that's gonna serve who you with tiny nose non-existent bezels and curved display but it's kind of nice looking in a world of rather boring monitors this thing is gonna be great for designers it's got a matte anti-glare display so if you're looking at a cinema display something super glared and you can see what that your colors gonna look like or light reflecting at you you might want to consider this guy this thing though is more than good looks it's got inputs luck crazy it's got two HDMI headphone out got a DisplayPort it's got two thunderbolt I mean it's gonna work great with a new Mac Pro any of the new Mac lines of course any PC as well it's going to have one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports bit on the heavy side it's 17 pounds with the fan I saw that surf and other reviews but honestly who's deadlifting their monitor you put it down as a matter how heavy this one is your cable comes a 47 pounds you're gonna be totally fine so 3/4 inches and a lot of pixels seems really put into perspective so it's pixel area is 1.8 times larger than ultra wide 21.9 inch monitor and it's 24 times larger then a full HD sixteen by nine monitor if you look at a full excel document you could have forty seven columns and sixty-three rows which is insane because there are just so many pixels here LG did some kind of cool it get a screen splitter essentially you can treat this as four separate screens or two if you want but you could have one in each corner and you could have sort of a multi tasker's dream right up there take a quick minute to

it's not that it's false the navigation on it is really really awful it's got this little red underneath here it's got a sort of a five-way joystick you push the button and then you pops up you can navigate it's really annoying but fortune with monitors once you set it up the way you want to want to but really have to deal with that squirrely little knob underneath so not that giant of a con I've been looking for a really good monitor that offers for that wide span aspect ratio it's great for games it's great for productivity it's being used primarily by our video editor ROM frida and fitting a lot of video editing you can just see all the timeline he had had some Premiere Pro and just a huge difference versus a cinema display that he was using so if you need something like that you want a more immersive environment in games it's a great deal at the same price is 27-inch Apple Simmons boy I think it's a way way better dealer you're getting way more for your buck I would very happily recommend this in fact once this review is done this monitor goes back to LG I'm gonna buy one for the office anyway which is really the best endorse but I can give a product at spending my own money for it you've got a thousand bucks laying around you for a really good monitor look no farther than the LG so one other small con with the monitor occasionally I've got hooked up to an older generation Mac Pro this screen pops up right here and it won't wake up when you hit the buttons on the keyboard or at the mouse you actually power the whole monitor on and off there might be an issue with the computer we couldn't replicate it and we connect it to other devices but be aware that it might happen to yours thank you guys for watching please subscribe right here to be the first ones to
