LG's HDR Monitor, the ultimate in picture quality, boasts a 32-inch Ultra HD resolution.
The monitor's bottom bezel thickness has been reduced from 20mm to 9.7mm, enhancing immersion.

LG Electronics unveiled an ultra-high-definition monitor with HDR (High Dynamic Range) functionality on the 14th.

The 32-inch HDR monitor (model number: 32UD99) features an Ultra HD (3,840x2,160) resolution, which has four times the pixels of Full HD. The addition of HDR functionality delivers an ultra-high-definition display. LG Electronics plans to further strengthen its position in the premium monitor market with this HDR feature.

HDR technology captures light and colors, typically rendered dimly in conventional video production, with vivid clarity, reminiscent of what we see with our own eyes. It renders colors more vividly, dark areas appear darker, and bright areas appear brighter, creating a vivid image. These advantages have led HDR to become a major trend in content industries such as film, gaming, dramas, and broadcasting.

LG Electronics applied 'HDR 10', an open source HDR standard chosen by many content creators, to this product. Users can enjoy HDR games on the latest game consoles such as PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One S, as well as HDR videos supported by YouTube.

This product is ideal not only for viewing HDR content but also for production. The IPS panel used in this product satisfies up to 95% of the Digital Cinema Color Standard (DCI-P3), the standard for film production. This allows video creators to express their creative intent with true-to-life colors from the very beginning of HDR content creation. Also, if the colors of the monitor become unclear after long-term use, you can correct the color expression by connecting a separate color measurement device called a calibrator.

The simple design is also a strength. LG Electronics has minimized the bezel surrounding the screen. In particular, the bottom bezel, which houses the circuitry and components, has been reduced from 20mm to 9.7mm, less than half. The thin bezel not only looks luxurious, but also enhances immersion.

A 21:9 aspect ratio monitor that displays smartphone and PC screens simultaneously has also been unveiled.

LG Electronics also unveiled its 34-inch UltraWide Mobile+ monitor (model number: 34UM79M). This product is the world's first monitor with built-in Google Chromecast. It wirelessly streams games, videos, and other content from your smartphone to the monitor's larger screen.

When users connect their smartphone and PC to this monitor, they can view both devices' screens simultaneously and easily control them with a keyboard and mouse. Additionally, by downloading a dedicated app (LG Mobile Plus Monitor) to their smartphone, they can easily adjust monitor settings, such as the screen ratio, split ratio, and volume.

LG Electronics plans to unveil these products at CES 2017, the world's largest consumer electronics show, to be held in Las Vegas, USA early next year.

Jang Ik-hwan, Managing Director of IT BD at LG Electronics' HE Business Division, emphasized, "We will continue to lead the premium monitor market with new monitor products that reflect our outstanding technological prowess."
