LG will be unveiling a new series of 32-inch 4K computer monitor/TV hybrids called “MyView” at this year’s CES. The company announced “They come in a variety of colors, including essence white, mild beige, cotton pink, and cotton green.” These will be offered in three variants at two price levels, $599.99 and $499.99, and LG says it will announce US availability “at a later date.”
The specifications and design language of LG’s new smart LED display are very similar to the Samsung M8. Both come in multiple colors and have a whiff of modern iMac design, but with more adjustable stands (both support fine-tuning height, tilt, and rotation). Each can be used as a smart TV using the included remote, and all new MyView monitors come equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, two built-in speakers, and dual HDMI ports.
But some key differences could make LG’s new monitor a better value. Its IPS panel looks better from an angle than his VA technology on Samsung displays, and his three USB-C ports with 90 watts of USB-C charging have a maximum output of 65 W. It beats the M8’s single USB-C. The most expensive MyView is also $100 cheaper than the M8, so there you have it.
According to an announcement from LG, LG’s MyView displays run webOS, giving them significant advantages over other more commonplace monitors. It should be able to work like a Chromebook, using cloud services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, without having to connect it to a separate monitor. computer.
As for the price, LG’s press release lists it as $599.99. Model 32SR85U It comes with three USB-C ports with a 90-watt USB-C power output and comes with a removable webcam.of Product page In the case of the 32SR85U, compatibility with HomeKit is also mentioned. For smart TVs, this usually means you can ask Siri to switch inputs or turn them on or off.
The other two variants cost $499.99. The 32SR83U still has three USB-C ports and 400 nits of screen brightness, but it only outputs 65 watts over USB-C and doesn’t come with a webcam. The 32SR70U doesn’t seem to support a removable webcam at all, only emits at 350 nits, and has only one 45-watt charging USB-C port, the other two being USB 2.0 (and possibly USB-A). ) port. One of these is different from the other.
MyView may fall short of the Samsung M8 in many ways, but the goal of this series is clearly to fill the void left by Apple’s monitor selection. Because most of the time, monitors are ugly, and while most people accept that as a reality, there are also those who want something nice to look at on their desks and opt for Studio displays if they don’t have one. Masu. It’s not more expensive than their computer. MyView’s simple display specs probably don’t justify its price, but its appearance and added smart TV features might.
