South Korean gadget maker LG Electronics announced that it will introduce a 21:9 “UltraWide” monitor for gamers next week. The 34-inch curved-screen monitor is among the first to take advantage of Advanced Micro Devices’ FreeSync technology, which eliminates images which “tear,” or are not correctly aligned when the monitor and graphics card are out of sync.
