Finance companies today are moving from a dual/multiple monitor workspace environment to a single high-resolution ultra-wide display form factor. This creates a more seamless environment with fewer connectivity issues, reduces overall cost and looks great on the desk. Ultra-efficient and ultra-detailed UltraWide® monitors present an easy and cost-effective approach to reducing clutter and improving efficiency. With a 21:9 aspect ratio and 34-inch, 38-inch and new 49-inch screen sizes, users can comfortably view multiple documents or applications simultaneously.

For consumer banks. The curved UltraWide monitors portray a classy, modern image to bank customers as opposed to the old-school clunky monitors of yesterday. Today’s customers are much more sophisticated when it comes to media and banks want to project a more professional image to their customers through the bank’s workstations.

Trading floors have expanded needs. It’s not uncommon to see six monitors on articulating arms being used. Stock traders must generate instant profit based on information from numerous sources that is ever-changing. Therefore, a highly immersive display is required in order to promote high concentration while enabling multitasking. Stacking two 38-inch UltraWide monitors, one on top of the other, will provide eight inputs on two displays and can result in less workspace fatigue while creating a finer degree of ambience with clean lines and an unobstructed view.

UltraWide at a glance. In addition to the 21:9 aspect ratio (2.4 times wider than the standard 16:9), an UltraWide has an ultra-wide angle of view. LG’s In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology provides a true 178-degree wide viewing angle where color and contrast remain consistent and data is legible. It’s a clear and comfortable advantage when reviewing accounts, charts and numbers with the customer. Other features include a 4-Screen Split feature that divides the screen into four customizable segments for easy multitasking, four inputs on select models, plus Reader Mode and Flicker-Safe to lessen eye fatigue and minimize eyestrain. UltraWide monitors are available in WQHD (3840×1600), QHD (3440×1440), and FHD (1920×1080) resolution.
