So in essence, consumers should make a troublesome selection between brightness and distinction, each of that are essential for colour work as of late — notably with video. 

The new 27-inch mannequin will appeal to people who need the advantages of OLED and the opposite professional options (10-bit colour, 99 p.c DCI-P3 and a 1,000,0000:1 distinction ratio) at a cheaper price. Both shows additionally supply options like a clear skilled design, USB-C with 90W energy supply and 4 USB ports. It additionally comes a pair of DisplayPort inputs and one HDMI port. LG’s would not say what sort for the latter, so it is seemingly not HDMI 2.1 — although that is not essential for content material creation execs. 

The greatest improve over final yr is that each screens embody a colour calibration sensor (LG did not say which one), together with its LG Calibration Studio software program. They additionally include a monitor hood so you may higher management the picture relying on room lighting. LG hasn’t launched the pricing but, however its present 32-inch UltraFine Display OLED Pro Monitor prices a cool $4,000, so anticipate to see an analogous worth on the brand new mannequin. The 27-inch model, in the meantime, will seemingly be north of $2K.
