- The LG UltraFine 32U990A has a gorgeous design and is aimed at creatives
- Its Thunderbolt 5 port makes it a perfect complement to Apple’s Pro range
- It is the third 6K monitor after the Pro Display XDR from Dell and Apple
If you’re looking for a new monitor that will last you a while, LG’s 32-inch UltraFine 32U990A, unveiled at CES 2025, definitely fits the bill. Judging by the image released with the announcement, the monitor sports a minimalist design with ultra-thin bezels and a sleek stand.
Although some details are missing, the UltraFine 32U990A is the world’s first 6K high-resolution monitor to feature Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. This could allow for refresh rates of up to 120Hz (which would be quite a lot), but LG has yet to confirm the specifications exact.
What we do know is that the screen features a Nano IPS Black panel, designed for exceptional color accuracy and high contrast. It offers a wide color gamut covering 99.5% of Adobe RGB and 98% of DCI-P3, making it ideal for creative professionals working with high-end content creation.
A great match for the Apple Mac Mini M4
The monitor’s 6K resolution provides nearly 40% more screen real estate than a standard 5K display, positioning it as a competitor to Apple’s Pro Display XDR, although likely at a more affordable price.
For comparison, Apple’s Pro Display 1. The Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor (U3224KBA), another competitor, offers a resolution of 6144 x 3456 at 60 Hz, but only has Thunderbolt 4.
With its pro-grade resolution and Thunderbolt 5 support, the UltraFine 32U990A would be a great match for Apple’s Mac Mini M4—if you’re prepared to leave the Apple ecosystem and opt for a third-party display, that is.
LG’s CES announcement says: “With calibration software support, this monitor is perfect for media professionals, while its slim, geometric design enhances both aesthetics and user comfort to satisfy all types of users.” .
Pricing and availability details have not yet been revealed, but are expected soon.
