LG Unveils UltraFine 6K Monitor With Thunderbolt 5 Support, Nano IPS Black Tech, and Pro-Level Color Gamut at CES 2025
LG has taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of the UltraFine 6K monitor at CES 2025. This cutting-edge display, model 32U990A, is the first to support Thunderbolt 5, making it a perfect pairing for Apple's latest M4 Macs. Its design, reminiscent of Apple's Pro Display XDR, combined with its professional-grade specifications, positions it as a must-have for creative professionals.
UltraFine 6K: Built for Creators
The LG UltraFine 6K boasts a 32-inch Nano IPS Black panel, which offers rich contrast ratios and vibrant colors. While some might have preferred OLED or mini-LED, LG’s choice of Nano IPS Black aims to balance performance with affordability. Key color performance specs include:
99.5% Adobe RGB coverage
98% DCI-P3 color space
These capabilities make the UltraFine 6K ideal for photo editors, video producers, and digital artists who require exceptional color accuracy without the hassle of frequent calibration.
Thunderbolt 5 Brings Speed and Flexibility
The inclusion of Thunderbolt 5 is a standout feature, delivering:
80Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth, expandable to 120Gbps with Bandwidth Boost.
Seamless compatibility with the M4 Mac lineup and other Thunderbolt 5-enabled devices.
This high bandwidth allows the monitor to potentially support 6K resolution at 120Hz, although LG has yet to confirm the refresh rate.
Sleek Design Inspired by Apple
Unlike previous UltraFine models, which were criticized for their uninspiring design, the UltraFine 6K features a sleek, professional look akin to Apple’s Pro Display XDR. While LG hasn’t provided the full design details, its CES 2025 showcase highlights a more refined aesthetic likely to appeal to both creative professionals and high-end tech enthusiasts.
LG has not revealed pricing or a release date for the UltraFine 6K monitor, but its combination of Nano IPS Black technology, Thunderbolt 5, and pro-grade color accuracy makes it a strong contender for anyone seeking premium displays in 2025.
