Preorder LG’s 32-Inch 6K Thunderbolt 5 Display for $2,000
▼ Summary
– LG’s 32-inch UltraFine monitor is the world’s first 6K monitor with built-in Thunderbolt 5 connectivity and will launch in the US next month.
– The monitor is available for preorder at $1,999.99 through B&H’s online store, with shipping expected to start on October 20th.
– It features a 31.5-inch IPS panel with a 6,144 x 3,456 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and supports 10-bit color covering 98% of DCI-P3 and 99.5% of Adobe RGB.
– LG’s display is significantly cheaper than Apple’s 6K Pro Display XDR, partly due to its lower 450 nits brightness compared to Apple’s 1,600 nits.
– The monitor includes Thunderbolt 5 ports for up to 120Gbps speeds and additional ports like HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, and USB-C, though its port selection is less extensive than dedicated Thunderbolt 5 hubs.
LG’s new 32-inch UltraFine 32U990A monitor, featuring a stunning 6K resolution and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, is now available for preorder at $1,999.99. This display, which LG first introduced at CES 2025, is positioned as the world’s first 6K monitor with integrated Thunderbolt 5. Shipping is scheduled to begin on October 20 through B&H’s online store, with the monitor launching first in South Korea and Japan this September, followed by a US release next month.
The monitor’s 31.5-inch IPS panel delivers a native resolution of 6,144 x 3,456 pixels with a 60Hz maximum refresh rate. It supports 10-bit color, covering an impressive 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and 99.5 percent of Adobe RGB. With a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and 450 nits of brightness, this display offers a compelling alternative to Apple’s Pro Display XDR, which costs nearly $3,000 more despite its higher 1,600 nits brightness capability.
Connectivity is a major highlight, with Thunderbolt 5 support enabling file transfer speeds up to 120Gbps when connected to compatible T5 devices. The rear panel includes seven ports: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, two 96W Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports, a USB-C upstream port for computer connection, and two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports for additional peripheral connectivity. While the port selection is comprehensive, it doesn’t match the extensive options available on dedicated Thunderbolt 5 hubs currently on the market.
