“We connected the LG 34UM94-P UltraWide 3440×1440 IPS display to two different Mac Pros and to the Razer Core Thunderbolt 3 GPU Expander,” rob-ART morgan reports for Bare Feats. “The LG 34UM94-P display we tested came with 1xDisplayPort, 1xHDMI, and 2xThunderbolt input ports.”
“This is not so much a shootout as a spotlight on the ease at which two different Mac Pros running Mac OS X and one Windows laptop can handle the new fad in displays: UltraWide,” morgan reports. “A few older apps choked, but the vast majority handled the 3440×1440 resolution with aplomb.”
“With Apple’s recent announcement that they will be discontinuing the Apple Thunderbolt Display, it’s good to know we have some interesting alternative displays with Thunderbolt input ports,” morgan reports. “Though there is speculation that an Apple 5K Thunderbolt 3 display is in development, it will likely require your Mac (or PC) to have a USB-C port that is Thunderbolt 3 compatible. For legacy Macs with Thunderbolt, mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, or HDMI connectors, there’s still hope for a snazzy replacement display.”
