LG Unveils UltraFine 6K Monitor With Thunderbolt 5 [CES 2025]

LG has unveiled a new UltraFine 6K Monitor (model 32U990A) that could rival Apple's Pro Display XDR and Studio Display. Touted as the world's first 6K monitor with Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, it has received a CES 2025 Innovation Award in the Imaging category.

LG's latest UltraFine (model 32U990A) monitor is the world's first 6K high-resolution monitor to come with Thunderbolt 5 and its versatile connectivity. Featuring a Nano IPS Black panel, it delivers exceptional color accuracy and a high contrast with a wide color gamut covering 99.5% of Adobe RGB and 98% of DCI-P3. With calibration software support, this monitor is perfect for media professionals, while its slim, geometric design enhances both aesthetics and user convenience to satisfy every kind of user.

The new monitor pairs perfectly with Apple's M4 Pro MacBook Pro and Mac mini, both of which support the latest connectivity standard. Offering up to 80Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth and 120Gbps in one direction, Thunderbolt 5 enables the possibility of a 120Hz refresh rate. For users managing complex setups, this added bandwidth could streamline workflows and improve efficiency.


Unlike previous UltraFine displays, LG has adopted a minimalist aesthetic with slim bezels and a sleek, geometric design. The height-adjustable stand, reminiscent of Apple's Studio Display, blends functionality with style, making it a practical choice for professional environments.

The UltraFine 6K faces stiff competition from Apple's Pro Display XDR and Dell's UltraSharp 6K. Dell's monitor, already available, offers similar IPS Black panel technology at a competitive price point. LG's success will likely depend on its pricing strategy and feature set; however, it has yet to confirm the exact resolution, refresh rate, or pricing. Until LG shares more information, these details remain uncertain.
