LG UltraFine OLED Pro Monitors for Professionals Refreshed, 9.1.5-Channel S95QR Soundbar Announced Ahead of CES

LG UltraFine OLED Pro monitors were announced on Friday, refreshing the South Korean company’s monitor lineup aimed at professionals. The South Korean tech giant launched its first LG UltraFine OLED Pro monitor earlier this year, featuring a 31.5-inch display with a 4K resolution and 99 percent DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB gamut coverage. The company has announced that the new models will include a new 27-inch variant and come with the same monitor hoods and calibration sensors as their predecessor. LG also announced that it would launch a new lineup of audio products at CES, including a soundbar with 810W output and IMAX Enhanced Audio.

According to LG, the upcoming LG UltraFine OLED Pro monitors will come in 31.5-inch and 27-inch screen sizes and offer a 4K UHD (3,840×2,160 pixels) resolution. They offer a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and boast 99 percent Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 colour space coverage. These monitors are aimed at professionals who require a sharp colour accuracy while working.

The new LG UltraFine OLED Pro monitors are equipped with detachable self-calibration sensors and monitor hoods, just like the first LG UltraFine OLED Pro monitor which was launched earlier this year with a price tag of $3,999 (roughly 3.04 lakh).
