LG’s new UltraFine OLED Pro monitors include hardware-based calibration

LG’s UltraFine OLED Pro monitor is one of the few OLED monitors you can buy, but LG is adding two more options to the line that will be available in 2022.

In addition to offering stunning display panels, these new monitors will come with hardware and software calibration tools, making them ideally suited for creative work.

Videographers and digital artists using the new 27- and 32-inch UltraFine OLED Pro monitors will benefit from a color accurate display that supports a wide color space. Both the 32-inch UltraFine OLED Pro 32BP95E and 27-inch 27BP95E come with 4K UHD resolution displays that support a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.

The panels also come with OLED Pixel Dimming HDR technology and support HDR400 for inkier blacks and richer color rendition. These screens are capable of supporting 99% of the wide DCI-P3 color space, as well as the AdobeRGB color space for professional workflows. LG claims that response time is as low as 1ms, though the company did not give specifications for refresh rates.

Like UltraFine displays before it, the latest UltraFine OLED Pros can connect to your laptop via USB-C for display and power delivery, with a maximum power delivery of 90 watts. You can also connect to the monitor via HDMI, as there are two HDMI ports on the monitor.

New to the UltraFine OLED Pro this year is a removable hardware color calibration tool to ensure that your monitor remains color accurate over time. LG is also bundling its LG Calibration Studio software to help with calibration. The bundled hood can also be used to help reduce glares and reflections when using the monitor.

“Designed with creative professionals in mind, our new UltraFine OLED Pro monitors deliver sheer visual precision with stunning self-lit picture quality and reliable calibration,” said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company, in a press release announcing the launch of the latest UltraFine displays. “The incredible accuracy, wide color gamut, and ability to faithfully reproduce both HDR and SDR content make these premium display solutions ideal for professional users working in the film and digital media industries.”

Like other members of the UltraFine family, the displays maintain a simple, thin, and minimalist profile. The bundled stand provides adjustments for height, pivot ,and tilt with just a single click, making it easy to position the display for ergonomic work. Coders can even rotate the monitor to portrait mode as well.

Both monitors will be available starting in January, though LG did not provide details on pricing. For comparison, LG’s first OLED monitor launched earlier this year and retailed for $3,999.

Acer just opened up its metaphorical bag of goodies at Computex 2024, and a whole lot of monitors fell right out. There's a lot to sink your teeth into, but we've got our eyes on the OLED models -- one of them more than the others.

The Predator X27 F3 combines a WQHD OLED display with a 480Hz refresh rate, coming close to the best of both worlds for gamers. You won't have to choose between crisp visuals and high refresh rates here. However, its price is high enough to make your eyes water just as much as the lightning-fast gameplay might.

LG’s new OLED monitor does 4K — and so much more
LG's dual refresh rate monitor at CES 2024.

Gamers -- myself included -- have been begging for a 4K OLED gaming monitor for the past year and a half. And at CES 2024, we got exactly what we've been looking for. LG is pushing the 4K OLED gaming monitor further with its UltraGear 32GS95UE.

It's a 4K OLED gaming monitor with a speedy refresh rate of 240Hz. The big change is LG's dual refresh rate feature, which allows you to switch to 1080p at 480Hz with a single button. It delivers on a couple of counts -- you get resolution when you want it, and refresh rate when you need it. And after playing with the display for a bit at CES, it's clear how important that is.

The Alienware 34 QD-OLED took the world by storm. As the first really great OLED gaming monitor, it had little in the way of competition.

But in 2024, that's not true. And to keep its lead, Alienware has launched two new QD-OLED gaming monitors that take things even further. There is now a 32-inch 4K model (AW3225QF) and a 27-inch QHD model (AW2725DF), both of which use the second-generation QD-OLED tech from Samsung Display. I got to see both models in person at a preview event ahead of CES 2024, and I came away extremely excited for these new gaming monitors.
