- The LG UltraFine 32U990A has a beautiful design and targets creatives
- Its Thunderbolt 5 port makes it a perfect addition to Apple’s Pro range
- This is the third 6K monitor after the Pro Display XDR from Dell and Apple.
If you’re looking for a new monitor that’s going to last you a while, LG’s 32-inch UltraFine 32U990A, introduced at CES 2025, fits the bill. Judging from the image posted with the announcement, the monitor sports a minimalist design with ultra-thin bezels and a sleek stand.
While details are a bit lacking, the UltraFine 32U990A is the world’s first high-resolution 6K monitor to feature Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. This could potentially enable refresh rates of up to 120Hz (which would be something ), but LG has not yet confirmed the exact specifications.
What we do know is that the display 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 offers 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 contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. The Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor (U3224KBA), another competitor, offers 6144 x 3456 resolution at 60 Hz but only has Thunderbolt 4.
With its pro-grade resolution and Thunderbolt 5 support, the UltraFine 32U990A would be a great fit for Apple’s Mac Mini M4 – if you’re ready to step outside of Apple’s ecosystem and opt for a third-party display, well on.
LG’s CES announcement states: “With support for calibration software, this monitor is perfect for media professionals, while its slim, geometric design enhances both the aesthetics and comfort of use to satisfy all types of users. ยป
