Brace yourself: the deluge of product announcements for next month’s Consumer Electronics Show has begun.

LG took its turn in the spotlight on Thursday, announcing a trio of new monitors that’ll be showcased in full at the upcoming trade show. The star of the bunch is likely the 34WK95U, a 34-inch ultrawide monitor with a (roughly) 21:9 aspect ratio and a 5K resolution. Well, sort of 5K—that resolution is technically 5,120 x 2,160, meaning it has the same number of vertical pixels as a 4K monitor but adds pixels horizontally.

The device will include a Thunderbolt 3 port and what appear to be fairly slim bezels, too. The idea here is to court professionals who need to have several windows open at once, edit images and videos with precision, and so on. Here’s hoping it doesn’t suffer from any technical issues like its last high-profile 5K monitor.
