After months of delays, LG’s 5K UltraWide 34WK95U display is now available for purchase. The availability lines up perfectly with the release of Apple’s new Mac mini and MacBook Air hardware.
We’ve had LG’s brand new 5K UltraWide display in the office for just under a week, and first impressions are quite favorable. In fact, I think that this will end up being a great display for those working with timeline-based applications like Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro.
