LG to launch 4K HDR Gaming Displays at CES 2017
LG will show its next level with plans to introduce a HDR-compatible 32-inch UHD 4K monitor at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month.
The availability of HDR content continues to expand, covering a wide range of fields from movie to games. The enhanced picture quality offered by HDR technology is instantly recognizable to even the most casual user and manufacturers are already pushing this promising technology to its fullest potential. With professional-grade picture quality and exceptionally vibrant colors, HDR compatible monitors will appeal to creative professionals, gamers, and anyone else that takes image quality seriously.
In addition, the 32UD99 is equipped with an IPS panel and displays over 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color space, making it ideal for media content creators of all expertise who will appreciate features such as True Color Pro for color reproduction accuracy unmatched in the industry. With the recent introduction of a new generation of HDR capable game consoles, the 32UD99 is well-equipped to meet the increasing demands of players world over as HDR gaming becomes the new standard in home entertainment.
Along with its elegant, stunning profile, the 32UD99 turns heads even when powered off. The monitor's USB Type-C port minimizes the number of unsightly cables while its borderless edges and slim ArcLine stand complete its refined image. Requiring only a single cable to stream images to a 4K display, charge a connected laptop and execute data transfers simultaneously, the 32UD99 is able to reduce cable clutter, which adds to its streamlined appearance. And the monitor's built-in speakers pack a punch with LG's Rich Bass technology for a full-bodied audio experience.
At CES 2017, LG will also be showcasing the 34-inch 21:9 UltraWide Mobile+ Monitor (model 34UM79M). The 34UM79M is the world's first Chromecast-enabled multimedia monitor, allowing users to seamlessly stream their favorite movies, music, games and more from mobile devices directly to the monitor. And LG's UltraWide monitor allows owners to simultaneously multitask between the PC and the mobile device using a single screen. Similarly, the Dual Controller Plus feature allows users to control both a PC and a smartphone/tablet via a single keyboard and mouse. What's more, the LG Mobile+ Monitor application allows for the control of many of the monitor's settings such as input, volume, aspect ratio, PBP/PIP, etc. remotely and conveniently.
Also on display in Las Vegas alongside LG's UltraFine 5K and 4K displays will be LG's 34-inch 21:9 UltraWide gaming monitor (model 34UC99), equipped with AMD FreeSync technology, 1ms Motion Blur Reduction, Dynamic Action Sync, Black Stabilizer and other features to maximize the PC gaming experience.
"To maintain our market leadership, LG engineers work tirelessly to incorporate emerging technologies and trends into our newest monitors," said Brian Kwon, president of the LG Home Entertainment Company. "From high-resolution displays compatible with HDR technology to UltraWide monitors optimized for multitasking and gaming, LG is committed to delivering the most innovative, premium monitors in the industry today."
Visitors to CES can see LG's newest advanced monitors for themselves in the Las Vegas Convention Center Booth #11100, Central Hall.

I take it HDR10 means 10-bit whereas 12-bit seems to be preferred though then again true 10-bit displays cost quite a bit (Instead of 8+2 which is otherwise very common.) so true 12-bit or the newer 16-bit is likely even more expensive.
Then there's the whole brightness HDR range and different specifications for that, wonder if that's going to be the new timing or black level buzz word for this generation of monitors.

(Color bit or what it was will probably vary too, one of the Dell guys on their forums recommended the monitor model I'm currently using to a customer specifically asking for a true 10-bit display, this particular model is a 8+2 so yeah doing research before buying a particular monitor will probably be pretty important though well it kinda already is I suppose heh.)

100+ Hz and 4K is what we are waiting..
Yup totally agree. Skimmed the article looking for something along the lines of 120Hz+ or something close to that.
I really like my current (new) 4k monitor which I bought as a stopgap while I wait for one that Ticks all the new tech boxes a 4K monitor Should support

I really thought we would have some by now, I got bored of waiting about 6 months back and bought the LG I have now. It can be OC'd to about 73Hz though which is not so bad I guess until the new generation of them arrive.
