A new monitor from LG has been uncovered thanks to a product
listing from the company’s Australian wing. The 27MU67 has not yet been
officially unveiled by LG, but thanks to this leak we’ve got a fairly good
picture of what sort of specifications the display will bring to the table..
With 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, FreeSync support, a color
gamut covering 99 percent of sRGB and 10-bit color support, the 27MU67 seems
like a serious piece of kit. These specifications, if correct, easily make this
new LG monitor a contender among the best 4K sets.
There’s also a healthy selection of input ports, with space
for two HDMI connections as well as a DisplayPort and one Mini DisplayPort. All
four of these inputs can be displayed at once in a four-way tiled split-screen
mode.
This device looks set to be targeted at gamers, with a game
mode among the features listed in the product description. However, that
audience will almost certainly want to wait for details on the 27MU67’s refresh
rate capabilities before they judge the monitor — while it’s likely to be
comparable to other 4K displays with FreeSync, the specifics could determine
whether or not the display is a savvy investment.
Of course, the cost of the device will likely be the
deciding factor for consumers as to whether its specifications warrant a
purchase. The Australian LG web site currently lists the 27MU67 at $799 AUD
(~$620 USD), but that might not necessarily reflect the final asking price when
it releases elsewhere. That being said, a comparison of those figures with
other LG monitors suggests that the price point won’t change too much as the
display makes its way to the United States.
