The latest installment of the ongoing HDR gaming on TVs saga brings good news for owners of LG TVs in Europe. The hottest technology in Televisions right now is the high dynamic range displays, but so far HDR hasn't made its way into computer monitors. That's set to change in January when LG says it will introduce the company's first 4K HDR computer monitor at the "Consumer Electronics Show" in Las Vegas.
The display covers a 32-inch ultra-high definition 3840-by-2160 monitor capable of working with everything from spreadsheets to games. LG isn't releasing a ton of details about the monitor yet. All we do know is that the LG 32UD99 features a single USB Type-C port that the company says will be able to simultaneously deliver 4K images, charge a connected laptop, and transfer data over a single cable.
As with the US release, this new Game mode reduces the input lag, which is the time it takes for the TV to render image data received at its inputs. LG TVs suffer with while playing HDR content to between around 30ms and 60ms.
The LG 32UD99 is a standard and has a good quality HDR Television, it is probably won't be cheap. This first foray into HDR PC monitors is aimed squarely at creative professionals. It won't cost $18,000 like Sony's OLED HDR studio display, but it will likely still be on the pricey side compared to a similarly capable 4K display.
LG will also show off the 34UM79M, a 34-inch Ultra Wide display with Chrome cast functionality built-in. On top of that, LG is bringing 5K and 4K displays from its Ultrafine line-up to Vegas, along with a 34-inch 21:9 gaming monitor (LG 34UC99) packing AMD Free Sync and one millisecond motion blur reduction.
LG will also be using CES to show off some of its newer high-end monitors, like the Mac-focused UltraFine range and the UltraWide Mobile Monitor with built-in Chromecast support.
