LG UltraFine 6K

Content creators want larger and more detailed monitors for high-resolution work above 4K, but monitors with resolutions above 5K were rare on the market. In addition, existing monitors often failed to meet professional-level requirements due to limitations in color reproduction and connectivity.

The LG UltraFine 6K has a 6K resolution (6144×3456), which is about 1.5 times the pixel density of 4K, allowing for a wider workspace and more detailed expression[58].

With 6K resolution, it is efficient to view source video in 1:1 pixels while simultaneously arranging editing tools around it during video editing. In addition, it supports over 99% of the wide color gamut DCI-P3 and hardware calibration, providing excellent color accuracy and uniformity, making it suitable for professional work. Support for various ports such as Thunderbolt also increases the convenience of one-cable connection with Macs, etc.

The 6K resolution itself, with almost no competing products, is a differentiator, and additionally, it is a strength that it is fully equipped with elements to improve the productivity of professionals.

The main customers are professionals (B2C) such as video/photo editors, graphic designers, and CAD engineers, as well as companies (B2B) such as studios and broadcasting stations that employ them. This includes Mac Pro users looking for alternatives such as the Apple Pro Display XDR.

Although the demand for 6K monitors is limited, LG has been steadily targeting niche markets through collaboration with companies such as Apple. This product will also be linked to the Apple ecosystem and sold in the global professional market.

In the future, LG may lead the ultra-high resolution field, including 8K. Although the price is high and it will remain a niche for the time being, there is future growth due to the increasing demand for high-performance monitors.

It received rave reviews for its technical completeness and performance. Like the evaluation of "the ultimate monitor for content creators"[58], it was mentioned as the best product in its category at CES.

However, it is a product that is far from the general public, so there was little exposure in the mass media, and there is also a realistic outlook that the market ripple effect will be limited. However, it is being welcomed in the professional community.
