Along with their new ThinkPad Ultrabooks, Lenovo also announced their new LT2934z panoramic display today at IFA in Berlin, Germany. This is a 29&rdquo; 21:9 aspect ratio display similar to the LG 29EA93 monitor we looked at earlier this year, only with the stand and other features designed and packaged by Lenovo. While Chris wasn&rsquo;t particularly impressed with the initial LG display, the updated firmware solved every major complaint and turned it into a very compelling product. Lenovo&rsquo;s LT2934z will hopefully keep all of the good aspects and merely add to it.</p>

Core features include an AH-IPS panel, full HD webcam, dual array microphone, and stereo speakers. It also has picture-in-picture functionality. The backlight is rated at 100% sRGB gamut, so perhaps not ideal for professionals but great for &ldquo;the rest of us&rdquo;. The native resolution is 2560x1080, with the normal 178 degree viewing angles that IPS provides. Adjustment options include tilt (-5&deg;/+25&deg;) and swivel (+/-45&deg;), as well as 110mm of height adjustment (if I&rsquo;m reading the spec sheet properly &ndash; it says &ldquo;110mm Lift&rdquo;). Video connectivity consists of VGA, HDMI 1.4, MHL, DL-DVI, and DisplayPort 1.2. The LT2934z also includes two USB 3.0 ports (one with BatteryCharge 1.2, so it&rsquo;s always powered) and two additional USB 2.0 ports. The display weight 18.3 lbs. (8.3kg) and measures 26.5&rdquo;x11.2&rdquo; (673mm x 284mm). Also included are dedicated VoIP keys for mute, pick up/drop call, and volume.</p>
<p>
The LT2934z is scheduled for availability starting in October 2013, with pricing starting at $799. That&rsquo;s $100 more than the LG 29EA93, but hopefully with the extra features making it a worthwhile upgrade.</p>
