Released in Korea in various sizes including 27-inch, 32-inch, 34-inch, and 38-inch

LG Electronics plans to launch a large number of HDR (High Dynamic Range) monitors this year to gain a head start in the HDR monitor market, which is referred to as the next generation of picture quality.

HDR is a technology that expresses light and colors, which are often rendered dimly during video production, in a way that is closer to reality. It creates vivid images by making dark areas of the screen even darker and bright areas even brighter. Excellent for producing and watching videos and games, it is emerging as the mainstream technology in the high-definition monitor market.

LG Electronics will launch HDR monitors of various sizes, including 27-inch, 32-inch, 34-inch, and 38-inch models, in the domestic market this year. The company plans to expand its lineup to 11 models by the end of the year, including the six models already on sale. Last year, there was only one HDR monitor model. The company also plans to significantly increase consumer choices by diversifying the types of HDR monitors to include 21:9 aspect ratios, 16:9 aspect ratios, gaming capabilities, and UHD resolutions.

The reason LG Electronics is significantly expanding its HDR monitor lineup is that the HDR content market is growing rapidly. Currently, Hollywood film production companies, online video streaming service providers, and game companies are all competing to produce HDR content.

LG Electronics' flagship HDR monitor (model name: 38WK95C), currently on sale, offers a whole new dimension of HDR experience. This product supports the 'HDR 10' standard and provides 100% support for the sRGB color gamut standard. Content creators can express colors, brightness, and more exactly as intended. Users can enjoy movies, games, and more expressed according to the original creator's intent with vivid and vibrant colors.

This product also features WQHD+ (3,840 x 1,600) resolution, a large 38-inch screen, and a 21:9 aspect ratio. Creators can produce content on a large screen identical to the actual movie aspect ratio, and viewers can enjoy the high level of immersion provided by the full screen.

Son Dae-gi, Head of HE Marketing at LG Electronics Korea Sales Headquarters, emphasized, “We will continue our leadership in the premium monitor market with products that incorporate outstanding picture quality technology and reflect customer needs.”
