LG's upcoming UltraFine 6K (32U990A) has a clean design and an IPS LCD panel with 6K resolution. It is also the first monitor with a Thunderbolt 5 port.
Although the monitor has not been formally announced by LG, it won a CES Innovation Award, offering a glimpse of its design and key features.
Equipped with a high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 5 port, the monitor is compatible with the new generation of computers, including Apple's M4 Mac mini.

- "LG’s latest UltraFine (model 32U990A) monitor is the world's first 6K high-resolution monitor to come with Thunderbolt™ 5 and its versatile connectivity. Featuring a Nano IPS Black panel, it delivers exceptional color accuracy and a high contrast with a wide color gamut covering 99.5% of Adobe RGB and 98% of DCI-P3," said LG Electronics.
- "With calibration software support, this monitor is perfect for media professionals, while its slim, geometric design enhances both aesthetics and user convenience to satisfy every kind of user."
Looks like an Apple monitor
The monitor resembles the Apple Pro XDR monitor. However, we are not entirely convinced that LG's bezels are as slim as the press picture suggests.
There are currently no indications that LG's version will include advanced local dimming. Based on the information available, it features Nano IPS LCD – a panel developed by LG Display in 2018. The use of nanoparticles in the LED backlight results in a wider color gamut of 98% DCI-P3. However, without local dimming you will not be able to use the monitor for HDR, despite any claims, due to the IPS LCD panel's very limited contrast, or dynamic range.
We expect the 6K resolution to be either 6016x3384 (like the Apple Pro XDR and Asus PA32QCV) or 6144x3456 (like the Dell U3224KB).
If local dimming is excluded, LG's UltraFine 6K (32U990A) is on the other hand expected to be considerably more affordable than Apple's version. We await further details from LG.
