Lg announces the first 4k monitor with hdr for the mass market

With a view to CES 2017 that is held during the month of January, the LG company has wanted to bring forward the presentation of one of its new 4K HDR monitors, the 32UD99.

The great novelty of the 32UD99 is that it will be the first monitor for non-professional use that will include high dynamic range technology, better known in the neighborhood as HDR. 4K monitors with HDR technology in monitors is reserved (for the moment) to a handful of monitors for professional use but not yet for 'normal' monitors. LG wants to be the first to make the move to introduce this technology to the mass market for monitors.

LG is going to bet fully on the HDR10 standard instead of Dolby Vision, something that is not surprising because its televisions also use this standard.

The model presented by LG has a 32-inch IPS screen with 4K resolution (3, 840 x 2, 160 pixels), capable of reflecting almost 95% of the DCI-P3 space. Another notable feature is that it uses USB-C to reduce the number of connection cables.

Unfortunately LG has fallen short on details and does not comment on the refresh rate that the monitor will have and the response time, two important aspects for the most enthusiastic gaming sector. We will know all these details, its price and the market launch date during CES 2017, which will be held in the city of Las Vegas. LG will surely take advantage of the event to show all its new line of new generation monitors and televisions.
