Although the TPU team at CES haven't snagged any hands on pics of LG's latest monitor at the show as yet, it looks like the Korean electronics giant has decided to give Apple's Pro Display XDR a run for its money. The new UltraFine 32U990A is a 32-inch display with a 6K resolution, although the company hasn't detailed the specifics, but it's highly likely to be the same 6144 x 3456 resolution as Dell's UltraSharp U3224KB monitor, which also uses a Nano IPS Black panel. However, design wise, LG has taken a leaf out of Apple's book and gone for a metal look with a very Apple-esque stand design, for better or worse.

The 32U990A should be the world's first monitor with Thunderbolt 5 support, which can deliver up to 80 Gbps of data, or technically 120 Gbps when connected to a monitor, far more than would be needed to drive the display in this case. This also means that it's compatible with DisplayPort 2.1, although this might be exclusive via a USB Type-C port. The only other specs that LG has shared is that the panel offers a wide colour gamut, covering 99.5 percent of the Adobe RGB and 98 percent of the DCI-P3 colour space. The monitor also has calibration support, something that matters for those that work in product where colour accuracy matters. Expect this one to be pricey, as even Dell's rather munduane looking U3224KB is going for close to US$2,500.

It is targeted to Apple sheeps, so even it is using the most modern connectivity, it will be 60Hz.
 
I just can't wait to see reviews of those new 45" 5120x2160 monitors.....can't wait

before CES I was able to find this and find all relevent details on a .de website, it mentioned that this one is a 6K/120/NanoIPS, overall seems good but lets wait and see if its actually 120 or not.
 
I get the feeling, IPS is dead for wide gaming displays. I bought a LG 34GN850P in 2023, which was just a slight update of the 34GN850 from 2020, because even though I wanted 34" WQHD for gaming, I still read alot of text and OLED isn't recommended for that.
Since then, there have been introduced almost only UW-displays with OLED- and some wieht VA-panels.

Tell me about it! I'm still waiting for a curved 34' IPS screen with 10bits color and 240hz. Feels it's never going to happen :(

Btw, how do you like your monitor?

It was my first wide and curved monitor. I came from Dell U2410 (24" 16:10 1200p 60Hz IPS) which I have used for 14 years now. It was akward at first and while movies from streaming services and from discs can bei 21:9, most TV-content here in Germany ist 16:9 (I record a lot of TV-content). I even had problems with youtube videos.
Unfortunately, I had to move not long after getting that monitor and am now stuck for a while with a very small desk so I switched back to the U2410 for space reasons.
