When we talk about monitors , it is normal that we talk about its resolution, the refresh rate or its contrast level. However, there are monitors in which these aspects are totally secondary, since they are built to provide greater comfort to the user during the moment of use. In this article we will review five monitors that surprised us by offering a creative design or innovating in a field that hardly usually surprises us at this point.
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9
Ultrawide monitors became the norm for users who wanted the space that a dual-monitor system brings, but didn’t want the drawbacks that come with it. However, the curved model Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 goes even beyond the borders of “ultrawide monitor”, offering a 32:9 aspect ratio panel and a size of 49 inches.
Thanks to this configuration, you can play video games in a unique way, just as it is possible to handle several applications at the same time without depending on other monitors. Without a doubt, one of the best proposals that exist if you only want a monitor on your desk, but you don’t want to give up anything.
LG Ergo
Each person has their preferences when using a computer screen. A photographer processing images in Lightroom will try to position the panel so that it doesn’t get any reflections, while a web developer may be more likely to position the screen vertically while programming.
The LG Ergo range takes this into account, and is equipped with a curious arm that allows the height, rotation and tilt of the screen to be adjusted to adapt to all audiences. Thanks to this, it is not only interesting for specific professional profiles, but also for computers that are going to be used by different people.
Samsung SpaceMonitor
Similar to what we just saw with the LG Ergo, Samsung’s Space Monitor also had its point of innovation in the foot. After anchoring the base to a table, the foot of the Space Monitor allows the screen to be adjusted in height , as well as moving it closer or further from us. It may not sound like much, but it is a very useful feature. For example, you can completely clear the table to work without the computer or bring the screen a little closer if you are straining your eyes a little and do not want to zoom.
Razer Raptor
It does not matter that your monitor has a hole to pass the cables and that they are slightly hidden. Whatever you do, they will end up seeing each other. Razer puts a lot of thought into these things, and their Raptor monitor has a base specifically designed to hide the cables inside .
The cables come out of the monitor fully organized and parallel, so it’s quite easy to run them behind the table without seeing a single one. Without a doubt, it is a very creative idea to organize the dreaded wiring.
LG Ultrafine 5K
LG’s Ultrafine range 5K monitor was made in collaboration with Apple . The monitor was of outstanding quality—and it’s even one of the few consumer models to be HiDPI certified—but its charm wasn’t in its image quality, it was in its connectivity. The monitor was fully prepared to be an extension of a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. By simply connecting a Thunderbolt 3 cable to the computer, you could have its camera, microphones, USB ports and even power the computer. It was also compatible with Apple desktops like the Mac Mini and Mac Pro, as well as the iPad, although in the latter case, it did so with a few limitations.
