LG just announced three new wide monitors that they intend to showcase at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the following months. All three of the monitors support High Dynamic Range (HDR) display, with impressive resolution.

The 32UK950 is the smallest of the bunch. As its model name implies, it is a 32-inch monitor. It supports 4K resolution, and is also one of the first monitors which will feature Nano IPS technology. This means that the Light Emitting Diodes (LED) on the screen utilizes nano-sized particles, which could result in deeper colors and more realistic output.

The 32UK950 also supports Thunderbolt 3, so it is an ideal pair for laptops like the MacBook Pro.

The 34GK950G, on the other hand, is a 34-inch monitor that has most of the features that the 32UK950. It, too, has Nano IPS tech. However, this device also supports Nvidia G-Sync. It is an ideal monitor for gamers who do not like to see video tearing in their games.

The most interesting of the three is 34WK95U, which boasts 5K display.

It has a resolution of 5120 by 2160 pixels. This means that it has the same vertical pixel count as a standard LG 4K monitor, but with a different overall ratio. Still, the 34WK95U is touted as an "ultrawide" 5K monitor.

All three monitors will support the HDR600 standard set by the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA). This means that even in the displays' high range between colors and color shades, they can still maintain 600 nits of brightness.

LG did not announce a release date or price details for any of the models. However, those will most likely be revealed when the monitors are showcased at the CES.

CES 2018 will start on Jan. 7 of next year, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
