LG is shipping 21:9 and 4K curved and flat-screen monitors it previewed at CES, the company said Wednesday. The widescreen 34-inch 34UC98 curved monitor ($1,199) has Quad HD resolution (3440 x 1440 pixels), and the 27-inch 4K 27UD88 ($699) is the first DisplayPort over USB-C-certified display to meet VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standards, said LG. USB Type-C connectivity allows users to transfer data, charge the battery of a connected device over 60 watts and substitute for an HDMI cable, it said.
