LG officially launches something that could seriously shake up the world of professional monitors – UltraFine evo 6K (32U990A). It is the world's first 6K monitor equipped with the new Thunderbolt™ 5 standard, designed for video creators, graphic designers, and anyone working with the most demanding workflows.
6K sharpness and studio-level colours
The new UltraFine evo offers a resolution of 6,144 × 3,456 pixels on a 32-inch HiDPI panel, resulting in a density of 224 PPI. The effect? Text is sharper and image details more precise than ever. The monitor is factory calibrated for macOS, and the coverage of 98% DCI-P3 and 99.5% Adobe RGB ensures accurate colour reproduction when working on film, graphics, or print materials. Additionally, it features a VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification and a Studio Mode with colour presets designed for Macs.
Thunderbolt™ 5 – the future of connectivity
The biggest game-changer is the support for Thunderbolt™ 5, which offers data transfer of up to 120 Gb/s in one direction – three times more than Thunderbolt 4. This turns the monitor into a central hub for SSDs, eGPUs, and other devices. Real-time rendering in 4K? Fast transfer of 8K RAW files? This hardware is designed specifically for such scenarios.
Huge workspace and multi-monitor
LG emphasises that 6K provides 2.5× more pixels than standard 4K. And if we place two such monitors side by side, we get almost 5× larger workspace than a single 4K – and this allows for simple daisy chaining thanks to Thunderbolt™.
Hub for Professionals, Design and Ergonomics
UltraFine evo 6K features a built-in KVM switch and a rich array of ports, allowing you to easily switch between Mac and Windows systems. This is a device designed for multitasking and hybrid workflows.
The monitor presents a minimalist appearance – the 4-sided borderless design creates a fully immersive visual experience. Additionally, it offers tilt and pivot adjustments, which will be appreciated by those creating vertical formats – such as Reels or Shorts. Fewer cables, a cleaner desk, and greater flexibility in configuration are further bonuses resulting from Thunderbolt™ 5.
Availability
The model LG UltraFine evo 32U990A will first appear at the end of September in South Korea and Japan, and will arrive in Europe and the USA in October.
This is a milestone – LG is introducing a new category of monitors called "UltraFine evo," raising the bar even higher than the current 5K UltraFine models for Mac users. If you are a professional working with demanding materials, this is likely one of the most interesting monitors we will see in 2025.
