The LG 34UM67 is an ultra-wide gaming monitor that is set to capture the attention of avid PC gamers attending CES 2015. This monitor is equipped with AMD FreeSync technology which allows for ultra-smooth motion while gaming.
This technology makes games appear more lifelike by making motion more smooth. It effectively works by syncing the monitor and graphics card, preventing what is known as 'screen tearing'. However, the technology is assured to not cause decreased frame rate, something that serious PC gamers wouldn't accept.
The LG 34UM67 also features Black Stabilizer -- which illuminates dark areas on the screen -- and Dynamic Action Sync, which reduces input lag.
The monitor features a handsome 34-inch display and a 21:9 aspect ratio, along with a resolution of 3440 x 1440.
