LG announces an addition to the UltraGear gaming monitor line-- the 34GN850-B, a curved ultrawide display based around a 34-inch 21:9 ratio Nano IPS panel with 1800R curvature and 3440 x 1440 resolution.

According to the company, the Nano IPS panel has 1ms (GtG) response time, rivaling that of TN panels. The refresh rate is 144Hz, with the option of a 160Hz boost using the DisplayPort 1.4 connection. The display is Nvidia-tested and officially verified to be G-Sync compatible, and also carries AMD Premium FreeSync certification. A Dynamic Action Sync mode allows gamers to "catch every single action in real-time," while other gaming features include Black Stabiliser and built-in crosshair options.

The coronavirus pandemic has lead to a massive increase of home workers-- and many need a means to let family members when they can (and cannot) interrupt. Enter Joan Home, a product promising to be a hassle-free means to do exactly that.

The Joan Home is, essentially, a consumer version of the Visionect meeting room display solution. It is a small and lightweight ePaper display able to display current availability and the calendar/schedule for the day. It connects to existing calendars wirelessly, with support for all major ones, and updates user status in real-time without need to install yet another app. In fact, setup takes place via online Joan portal complete with language and custom content settings.

MSI announces a pair of additions to the Optix MAG gaming monitor line-- the MAG273 and MAG273R, both featuring a 27-inch FHD IPSA panel claiming a max refresh rate of 144MHz and 1ms response time.

The two monitors are near-identical, with the only difference between the two being the MAG273R adds a MSI Mystic Light-enabled RGB strip along a rear extrusion. As such, both displays support AMD FreeSync (30-144Hz) and cover 19% of the DCI-P3 and 139% of the sRGB colour gamut. Further features include HDR capability, 1000:1 contrast ratio, wide viewing angles and anti-flick and low blue light modes. Max brightness clocks at 250 nits.
