LG’s new line of 4K UltraFine OLED Pro monitors with built-in calibration tools: Digital photography review

Correction (Monday, December 20, 2021): It seems that LG relatively quietly introduced its 27-inch UltraFine OLED Pro display model earlier this year, but it’s still only available for pre-order at this point, so it’s not really out yet. launched. The original title and sections of this article said the 27″ model was new. We’ve updated both to correct this information.

LG has announced details about its next-generation UltraFine OLED Pro display, revealing 2022 models will include a built-in colorimeter for on-device hardware color correction.

The UltraFine OLED Pro 2022 lineup, designed with photographers, videographers and visual artists in mind, will be available in 32” (32BP95E) and 27” (27BP95E) versions. Despite the size difference, the two models will be identical, with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and 1ms response time. LG says both monitors cover 99% of the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces, support the DisplayHDR 400 True Black specification, and offer a 60Hz refresh rate.

New this year for both models is a built-in, detachable colorimeter that works in conjunction with built-in software to automatically calibrate the display, as we’ve seen with the Eizo for years, and Dell recently. Connectivity on the 32” model includes one HDMI input, two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, 1 USB Type-B input (USB 3.1 / USB 3.2 Gen 1), three USB Type-A outputs (USB 3.1 / USB 3.2 Gen 1), one USB Type-C I/O with 90W power delivery to charge laptops and tablets when connected, 3.5mm audio output and adapter port Change source.

LG has yet to list prices for both phones at this time. However, last year’s 32″ model retailed for $4,000, and the 27″ model released at a later date and is still not available for purchase, retailing for $3,000. So it’s likely that these new models will follow that pricing scheme.
