I've been using triple monitors for the past nine years, but the bezels always annoyed me. Now, I can rearrange my preferred layouts of the programs like Maya, Modo, Nuke and Houdini to fit on one monitor. Displaying two programs side by side, without a bezel, is a new exhilarating experience for me too. Phenomenal monitor to increase my productivity.

I used to use a 27" Apple Thunderbolt display and bought this for two reasons: 1. Wanted more real estate 2. Wanter to reduce the glare since I sit in a sometimes window lit area. I am losing the built in macbook charger and ethernet ports but I bought the thunderbolt ethernet adapter to solve the second issue. I used my Spyder 3 to calibrate the display and I have to say it's really nice. I wish the volume could be controlled via the mac keyboard but that is my only real complaint.

** Disclaimer - I've had this for just a few days ** Setup: Mid-2012 MBP Retina I used the HDMI cord to connect this to my MBP Retina. Everything worked great with the exception of the speed webpages were rendering (really really slow and I couldn't actively use a webpage if another one was trying to render). Which I thought was odd I searched some forums and saw a setup like mine w/ the exception that that user was using the Thunderbolt cable instead of the HDMI cable. Got it last night - no more slow web pages. That being the fix is odd to me and when I explained my issue to a few Apple Store floor reps they didn't expect the Thunderbolt to fix the issue. Happy it did. Love this monitor - no matter what apple comes out with (or if they come out with something) in June this is a great buy.

The LG 34UM95-P 34" Class 21:9 UltraWide WQHD IPS Monitor is the ultimate multi-tasking tool. The 21:9 aspect ratio combined with the 4 Screen Split feature lets you view 4 different documents at the same time minimizing the need to flip back and forth between multiple documents. Color representation is also very accurate with sRGB 99% making this the ideal monitor for professionals like photographers and graphic designers. But, the UM95 isn't all work and no play. Because this model has Ultra Wide Quad Definition (UQHD) the picture quality combined with the 21:9 wide screen makes watching movies or playing video games an immersive experience. Thunderbolt supports high resolution displays and high performance data devices through a single port allowing you to take advantage of transfer speeds up to 20Gps and expand computing capabilities.
UltraWide 21:9
The UltraWide 21:9 aspect ratio makes movies and games more immersive than ever. Need to get some work done, too? All of that UltraWide real estate makes it easy to view multiple documents at the same time, so you don't need to flip back and forth between them.
UltraWide Quad High Definition
The 3440x1440 UltraWide QHD display offers amazingly sharp picture quality. Its pixel area is about 1.8 times larger than an UltraWide Full HD 21:9 monitor and about 2.4 times larger than a Full HD 16:9 monitor. It provides an efficient environment in using Microsoft Office programs showing 47 columns and 63 rows in excel.
sRGB 99%
sRGB is the standard color space of ideal color reproduction. So, with over 99% coverage of the sRGB spectrum, this LG monitor is a great solution for professional photographers, graphic designers or anyone looking for highly accurate color.
Mac Compatible
Graphic designers will surely appreciate the many features of LG's Mac-compatible UltraWide monitor. The 21:9 widescreen and 4-Screen Split will simplify working with multiple graphics windows.
Screen Splitter
Multitasking doesn't have to mean shuffling back and forth between windows. With a single click, the 4-Screen Split feature divides the screen into as many as four customizable segments, two-by-two. Now you can see four different windows at the same time.

The Dual Linkup feature allows two compatible portable devices--such as a computer, camera, phone, or Blu-ray player--to be connected to the monitor and both can be viewed on the same screen simultaneously.
Thunderbolt
This monitor's Thunderbolt input/output port allows you to connect up to six compatible devices, moving data between them with incredible speed. The two channels of 10-gigabits-per-second throughput in both directions are up to 20x faster than USB 2.0. Thunderbolt is an exciting innovation for both expansion and premium video display.
Display Port
The DisplayPort digital video interface is used to connect a high-performance video source to a high-resolution monitor. Thanks to its sophisticated design, a DisplayPort cable can also be used to carry audio, USB signals and other data as well.
LED Backlighting
LG's LED backlighting delivers exceptional brightness and amazing image clarity. You'll see richer colors and deeper blacks too and LEDs offer greater energy efficiency compared to conventional LCD monitors.
IPS
IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology enhances the performance of liquid crystal displays. Response times are shortened, color reproduction is improved and users can now view the screen at virtually any angle.
