LG's 32-Inch '4K' Wide Color USB-C Display Now Available for $999

by

LG's new 32UD99 display is now available to order for $999 from retailers such as Amazon and B&H Photo Video, as noted by AnandTech.

The 31.5-inch IPS LED display features Ultra HD resolution of 3,840×2,160 pixels, which is often marketed as 4K, support for 95% of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut, and a USB-C input for single-cable connectivity with a 12-inch MacBook or 2016 MacBook Pro. It also supports HDR10 and AMD FreeSync.

A complete rundown of the LG 32UD99 display's tech specs:

  • 31.5-inch

  • 4K Ultra HD resolution (3,840×2,160 pixels)

  • 140 PPI

  • IPS LED

  • 16:9 aspect ratio

  • 60Hz refresh rate

  • 5ms response time

  • DCI-P3 wide color gamut (95%)

  • 550 nits peak brightness

  • Ports: USB-C input, DisplayPort 1.2, two HDMI 2.0a ports, and two USB 3.0 ports

  • Up to ~60W power delivery to MacBook Pro

  • Other features: HDR10, AMD FreeSync, dual 10W speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, narrow bezel design with pivoting and height adjustable stand

Here's how LG's UltraFine 5K Display, now $1,299.95, stacks up:

  • 27-inch

  • 5K resolution (5,120×2,880 pixels)

  • 217 PPI

  • IPS LED

  • 16:9 aspect ratio

  • 60Hz refresh rate

  • 12-14ms response time

  • DCI-P3 wide color gamut (99%)

  • 500 nits peak brightness

  • Ports: Thunderbolt 3 input and three USB-C 3.1 ports

  • Up to 85W power delivery to MacBook Pro

  • Other features: Built-in 1080p camera, dual 5W speakers, microphone, Thunderbolt 3 cable included, adjustable and VESA compatible stand

LG's 32UD99 arguably looks nicer than the UltraFine 5K, while its larger screen, HDR10, and AMD FreeSync support are attractive features for gamers. But, for $300 less, you are getting Ultra HD resolution instead of 5K, USB-C instead of Thunderbolt 3, no webcam, lower power delivery, and slightly less coverage of the P3 color gamut.

Now THAT is a good looking display. Makes you wonder why the Apple / LG 5K display didn't use a similar design. LG has been shipping displays with this design for a while now.

Because Apple either wasn't really planning on permanently exiting the display business or they were hedging their bets n case they decided to reverse course and get back in. LG was certainly capable of producing something less pedestrian looking. Apple may have wanted them to do something that wouldn't end up being competition.

Nice display, for a reasonable price, with decent color gamut, brightness and connectivity.
But I'm still not a fan of their obsession with those curved stands. Kinda distracts from an otherwise sleek monitor.

Kinda expensive @ $999 for what you get.

I'm happy I got the LG 5K with TB3 support for $975.

Edit: the 4K one looks reasonable now with additional HDMI and DisplayPort connectors. a bit pricy to get that P3 color space and USB-C support. They should have lead with this instead of the USB-C only model. 4K at 32" kind of defeats the purpose though of a Retina display. LG has a nice refreshed 27ud69 that's probably better for most needs. Not as many highend checkboxes but half the price.

Looks nice, but not true 4K.
"True" 4K at 4096 wide is really only for video production and pro work. They charge like twice again for those panels with high-end color specs. They have very low volume. Yay market separation! 3890 wide is the "consumer" 4K UltraHD spec that matches TVs and broadcast standards.
