LG Electronics has announced its latest flagship display, the UltraFine evo 6K (model 32U990A), making headlines as the world’s first 6K monitor with Thunderbolt 5 support. Positioned as a premium choice for professional creators, this monitor is designed to deliver ultra-high resolution, faster data throughput, and seamless integration with Mac and Windows systems. With competition heating up against Apple’s Pro Display XDR and Dell’s UltraSharp 6K, LG is betting big on this next-gen device.
Price and Global Availability
The UltraFine evo 6K is set to go on sale first in South Korea and Japan by late September, followed by launches in the US and Europe through October. LG has not revealed pricing yet, and details for the Indian market are still awaited. The final price will play a crucial role in how it stacks up against premium rivals in the segment.
Professional-Grade Display
The UltraFine evo features a 32-inch 6K HiDPI panel with a resolution of 6,144 x 3,456 pixels and a pixel density of 224 PPI. It covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 spectrum and 99.5 percent of Adobe RGB, ensuring industry-standard colour accuracy. Certified with VESA DisplayHDR 600, the monitor offers true-to-life contrast and brightness for editing, design, and content creation. It comes factory-calibrated for macOS, complete with a Studio Mode that provides pre-set colour profiles tailored for Mac users.
Compared to standard 4K UHD displays, the 6K panel packs in 2.56 times more pixels, offering sharper text clarity and finer detail precision. For editors, this means a clearer timeline view, more workspace, and better control over visual details. Daisy-chaining two of these monitors nearly multiplies usable workspace fivefold compared to a single 4K display, a feature that video editors and visual designers will especially appreciate.
Thunderbolt 5 and Connectivity
One of the biggest highlights is Thunderbolt 5 support, which can deliver up to 120Gbps of unidirectional bandwidth. This is nearly triple the transfer speed of Thunderbolt 4, enabling real-time 4K rendering, smooth 8K RAW file transfers, and simplified multi-monitor daisy chains. Alongside this, the monitor includes USB-C ports, a built-in KVM switch for toggling between multiple devices, and a multi-port hub that transforms the display into a professional workstation centerpiece.
Sleek Design for Modern Workflows
LG has paid attention to design with slim bezels on all four sides and a stand that supports tilt and pivot adjustments. Vertical orientation is supported, which makes it a great choice for social media editors working on platforms like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. The overall build is clean, minimalist, and practical, blending seamlessly into both studio and office setups.
A Step Beyond 5K UltraFine
The UltraFine evo 6K offers three key upgrades over LG’s previous UltraFine models. It delivers higher resolution, future-proof Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, and advanced professional features like the integrated hub and KVM switch. Together, these upgrades position it as a serious tool for creatives who need speed, accuracy, and efficiency in their workflows.
LG’s UltraFine evo 6K is a bold move in the premium monitor market, blending future-ready connectivity with professional-grade visual fidelity. While we await its India launch and pricing, global creators will soon get their hands on a display that aims to redefine high-end productivity.
