LG has announced a new 32-inch 4K monitor that combines the features of a computer display and a smart TV. The LG MyView 32SQ780S is the first monitor to have LG’s webOS 23 built-in, allowing users to stream Netflix and other services without a PC connection.
The LG MyView 32SQ780S is designed to offer a versatile experience for both work and play. It has a 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, and a 5ms response time. It also supports HDR10 and covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, delivering vivid and accurate colors.
The monitor has a sleek and minimalist design, with thin bezels and a curved stand. It has a variety of ports, including HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, and USB-A. The USB-C port can deliver up to 65W of power, enabling users to charge their laptops or smartphones while using the monitor.
The monitor also comes with a remote control that can access LG’s webOS 23 platform. This platform lets users enjoy various streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+, and more. Users can also browse the web, check the weather, play games, and use voice commands with the built-in Google Assistant.
A Smart TV Inside a Monitor
The LG MyView 32SQ780S is not the first monitor to have smart TV features. Samsung has launched its M8 smart monitors earlier this year, which also have built-in streaming apps and a remote control. However, LG claims that its monitor is the first to have webOS 23, which is the latest version of its smart TV operating system.
LG says that webOS 23 offers a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, with improved performance and security. It also supports LG’s Magic Link feature, which allows users to connect their smartphones to the monitor and mirror their screens or control the monitor with their phones.
LG also boasts that its monitor has better sound quality than its competitors, thanks to its 10W stereo speakers and LG’s AI Sound Pro technology. This technology analyzes the audio content and optimizes the sound output according to the genre. It also enhances the dialogue clarity and reduces the background noise.
Availability and Price
The LG MyView 32SQ780S is expected to launch in January 2024 in select markets, including the US, Europe, and Asia. The price has not been revealed yet, but it is likely to be higher than the Samsung M8 smart monitors, which start at $399 for the 27-inch model and $499 for the 32-inch model.
LG hopes that its new monitor will appeal to users who want a multifunctional device that can serve as both a monitor and a smart TV. The LG MyView 32SQ780S is part of LG’s MyView series, which also includes a 27-inch 4K monitor and a 24-inch FHD monitor, both with webOS 23.
