News, reviews and rumors about all things 4K.
This 30-inch monitor sells for $18,000 and is used mostly by video professionals. It does however give us a general look into the future as HDR is arguably more important than resolution and thus we have always wanted 4K + HDR to be the gold standard.
Sony has a page about this monitor where you can view all the specs.
LG labels this monitor as a gaming monitor. It has a 27 inch panel with 3840×2160 resolution, HDMI 2.0 ports, HDCP 2.2 and sRGB 99% with 10 bit colour.
Given that this is an IPS monitor we are happy with the price, but prices of 4K monitors will continue to come down in 2015 and beyond.
LG has a listing for this monitor on its website.
We are a bit concerned about the HDMI 2.0 ports given that HDMI 2.0a is on its way.
Andrew Reid of EOSHD recently completed a review on the 4K LG 31MU97-B monitor which has the following features:
The LG 4K DCI monitor is great for editing especially for those who multitask between two apps open on the same display at any one time. You have vast amounts of resolution when using 1:1 mapping in 4K DCI to exploit and take a true birds-eye view of what you’re doing. Then when you go and surf the web for cat videos you can just drop the resolution (virtually) using the Apple retina display controls in the system menus.
