LG Stretch — Double-Wide LCD Display

In live events, we use non-standard, wide aspect ratios all the time.  3:1 (three times as wide as it is tall) is not uncommon.

 

Now, LG Electronics has released two extra-wide LCD displays.  The LG “Stretch” series introduces 29″ and 38″ models, with aspect ratios of 2.85:1 and 3.43:1, respectively.  They feature RGB and DVI inputs, and RS-232C control.  Resolution on the 29″ model is 1366 by 480, and the 38″ model is 1366 by 398.

 

Designed specifically for signage, I expect these displays will be popping up in retail and hospitality very quickly.

 

For events, they’d be perfect for digital agenda signage as well as delay screens for widescreen shows.
