Many people craving more screen real-estate like to set up multi-monitor rigs for their PCs. you can double your desktop area by adding a second monitor after all. That used to seem like a great solution until I got to spend some time with this LG 21:9 UltaWide IPS monotir. Sure I could get two or three regular-sized monitors to connect to my PC ... but instead I think I’d much rather have something like this screen. Its huge, it performs wonderfully, and is simply striking to behold.

Passive 3D technology uses a single screen to display two interwoven images simultaneously. Each lens of your 3D glasses is calibrated to see only one of these pictures. When your brain combines these two images, it creates the illusion of three dimensions... but did you know that Passive 3D also has a second use? It can display two entirely different 2D video feeds at once. Meet LG’s amazing new Dual Play technology. It’s going to change the way you think about televisions, especially if you’re a game enthusiast.

LG Simplifies the Home Theatre Experience

Piecing together a home theatre can be a rewarding experience. Sitting back to watch your favourite movie in glorious 5.1 or 7.1 surround in the comfort of your home for the first time can be well worth the time and effort spent setting it up. That's not to say it doesn't take some work. Careful planning and research is needed to make sure you purchase the right components. For those who don't want the hassle, a home theatre in a box may be the solution.

 

LG is certainly known for its televisions and smartphones, but the Korea-based company has made huge strides in the home theater department over the past few years. It was one of the first companies to introduce apps such as Netflix to their line of Blu-ray players, and this year the company looks to improve features and drive down the cost without sacrifice.
