ATLANTA, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics USA is partnering with FaZe Clan, the most popular esports team in the world, to host a no-holds-barred gaming competition that will mark the global debut of LG’s new UltraGear™ 21:9 gaming monitor, the company’s most powerful gaming display ever.
The competition, which will take place at DreamHack Atlanta, will feature the blockbuster battle royale title – “PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS” (PUBG) – and will officially kick off with an appearance by FaZe Clan team members FaZe Mxey and FaZe FuzzFace. Other FaZe Clan members, FaZe Teeqo and FaZe Dirty, also will participate in the competition that will pit selected DreamHack attendees against the pros.
The winner-take-all tournament will take place on LG’s new high-performance 34-inch UltraWide gaming monitor (model 34GK950G) that offers superb picture quality and the highest level of immersion for gamers and consumers alike.
The flagship UltraGear 34GK950G-B is designed for immersive, high-performance gaming thanks to its curved, virtually borderless 34-inch Nano IPS display that covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color space offering crystal clear UltraWide QHD (3440 x 1440) image rendering.

With NVIDIA G-Sync™ graphic processing technology built-in, the UltraGear 34GK950G is designed to provide smooth motion graphics without tearing or stuttering. What’s more, its high refresh rate of 120Hz (overclocked) means that objects are rendered more clearly for smoother gameplay and seamless visual fluidity. Gamers also can create their own unique ambiance with Sphere Lighting that boasts six color settings to complement any game or movie.
