On Friday, LG announced two new premium monitors, including the UltraGear 45GR95QE. It features the same 45-inch ultrawide OLED panel with a WQHD (3,440 x 1,440) resolution as Corsair’s recently-unveiled Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 monitor, but it’s not bendable, instead opting for a fixed 800R curvature. The 45GR95QE provides 98.5 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and supports HDR10. It also has an impressive maximum refresh rate of 240Hz and variable refresh rate support (likely both FreeSync and G-Sync Compatible), making it an excellent choice for gamers.
For connectivity, the 45GR95QE has two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a handy USB hub with two 5Gbps USB-A ports. The included stand offers a height adjustment range of 110mm, -2 to 15 degrees tilting hinge, and -10 to 10 degrees of swivel, but no pivot support. The second monitor LG revealed today is the productivity-focused UltraFine 32UQ890. Its display specs are nothing to write home about, as it has a 31.5-inch IPS panel with a native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 and a 60Hz refresh rate.
However, its standout feature is that it ships with a self-adjusting monitor arm. The 32UQ890 has a built-in camera that continuously analyzes the user’s posture and makes subtle changes to the screen height (0mm to 160mm) and tilts -20 to +20 degrees to help maintain a good posture and prevent them from remaining in a single position for too long. It has three ergonomics-enhancing modes: Continuous Motion, Periodic Motion, and AI Motion, with the latter being the one that tracks your eye level and adjusts height and tilt whenever a change is detected. The monitor arm clamps onto a desk, so users can also manually extend, retract, and swivel (-270 to +270 degrees) the screen.
LG didn’t mention pricing and availability details for its new monitors, but they will be on display (no pun intended) between September 2-6 at IFA 2022.
