Moreover, how do I connect my MacBook Pro to 4K monitor?
#LG 4K MONITOR MAC DUAL TV#
A Thunderbolt-equipped Mac can connect a 4K Ultra HD TV via a direct HDMI connection, or via a Thunderbolt to high-speed HDMI adapter. You can use a Mini DisplayPort adapter in a Thunderbolt port but you can also use Apple’s Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter or Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter with it.

If you are running a Mac, you'll need to update to at least Mavericks 10.9.3 to run it at native resolution over DisplayPort.
LG is clearly trying to position it as an alternative to Apple's ageing 27-inch Thunderbolt display, and in my eyes it's by far the more modern and attractive offering. It's the first non-Apple monitor to feature Thunderbolt 2 and also supports the new Mac Pro. Spin the 34UM95 around and you'll find a headphone jack, HDMI, DisplayPort, two Thunderbolt ports, four USB ports and a Kensington security lock. The monitor will also support 60Hz refresh rates over DisplayPort set to its native resolution (HDMI is 1.4a, so it's limited to 30Hz). The 34UM95 has very low input lag of 5ms, making it suitable for gamers looking to play at high resolutions using a single graphics card (rather than a dual GPU setup as would be needed to game in 4K). Tested with our colour calibrator, the 34UM95 covered 100% of the sRGB channel, making it a highly accurate offering out of the box. It has rich colours that "pop" and produces deep blacks. The display is an IPS variety with 1.07 billion colours, brightness of 1000:1 and excellent 178-degree viewing angles. In the absence of adjustable height, you'll have to put books underneath it if you want it to sit higher. It's attractive and clearly inspired by the Mac's design, but it means you only have two positions of height that can be adjusted by taking out the screws and moving the panel to a different position. The panel rests on what LG calls a "crystal floating stand", which is made of a see-through perspex material. That bezel is reflective and picks up fingerprints easily, but as the monitor's menu controls are operated using a menu stick on the underside you won't be leaving too many marks on it, and they're easy to wipe off.
The screen is surrounded by a black bezel that houses LG's logo on the bottom edge's centre. With a height of just 173mm, it's not as overbearing as 27- or 30-inch monitors and you don't have to sit as far back from it, making it a better fit for smaller desks.Īt 7.7Kg, it's surprisingly light too, easily liftable with a single hand. Although it's taller and wider than previous 21:9 monitors, it's still surprising at how short it is. The 34UM95 is very elegantly designed and one of the most eye-catching 21:9 monitors yet.

WIth the falling cost of 4K monitors (set to become even lower due to to Intel's partnerships with various manufacturers), you could almost bag yourself two of them for the equivalent cost and place them side-by-side.īut that's missing the point: if you're a multimedia editor, productive office worker, movie lover, gamer or anybody who needs ample screen real-estate and tons of features in an attractive, super-wide panel, there's plenty of plus points to be found in the 34UM95. At £800 (around $1,289 or AUS$1,389), the 34UM95 is even more of a niche buy than the last wave of 21:9 offerings, which cost less than half the price. However, its price will still prove a stumbling block for many.
