Over the past year, working from home has gone from the exception to the norm. The convenience of foregoing hours stuck in traffic and being safe from the pandemic directly translates to increased happiness, efficiency, and productivity. Consumers were quick to transition at home. However, not all setups were conducive as a workspace. One of the biggest issues that arose was the requirement for proper computer monitors. One of the segments that grew the most over the past year has been monitors. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), in the 4th quarter of 2020, the monitor market grew 16.9% yearly, surpassing 39.2 million units worldwide.
LG Electronics, always at the forefront of innovation, has seen this surge and developed a new line of monitors that improve upon existing technology to help users even more. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a budding streamer, or just working from home, LG has a monitor that’s perfect for you. They provide a wide variety of improved features, from breathtaking colors and fast response time to clearer images, to enhance customers’ experience.
To introduce the new line of monitors to the local market, LG Electronics Philippines hosted the LG Monitors: Performance Beyond Boundaries livestream event on their social media channel to showcase what the new displays are all about. This was hosted by LG brand ambassador Luis Manzano and featured several other influencers who have experienced the new line of monitors: actor and director Joross Gamboa, photographer Magic Liwanag, and gamer, cosplayer, and content creator Myrtle Sarrosa.

Whether for work or leisure, LG UltraWide™ will get the job done for you.”

After shooting, editing, and printing, all the colors are correct.”

With a connection to an HDR-capable console (Xbox One S / PS4 Pro) or HDR-supported graphics card, users will enjoy punchier brightness and highlights with deeper shadows and silhouettes. Myrtle Sarrosa gushed about how her LG UltraGear™ monitors have helped level up her gameplay. “It virtually eliminates screen tearing and stuttering.
