LG MyView 4K monitors with webOS compete with Samsung Smart Monitors

LG has announced a new lineup of smart monitors called MyView. The latest series comes with three models: 32SR85U, 32SR83U, and 32SR70U. As the model numbers suggest, the 32SR85U is the top-of-the-line variant, followed by the 32SR83U and the 32SR70U models.

Panel specifications

Starting with the display panels, all three monitors have a 31.5-inch IPS LCD with 4K resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 5ms response time, 95% coverage of DCI-P3 color gamut, and support for HDR10. While the 32SR70U has 350cd/m2 brightness, the 32SR83U and the 32SR85U feature 400cd/m2 brightness.

OS and smart features

All models come with webOS 23, which is the latest version of LG’s operating system for televisions and monitors, as well as speakers and wireless connectivity options. That means you can use all three monitors as smart TVs, allowing you to use them as standalone products. These monitors also support LG’s webcam, which allows you to use these models for video calling. The 32SR85U even comes bundled with a webcam.

Connectivity options

Wireless connectivity options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. However, LG hasn't revealed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth versions yet. As for the wired connectivity options, all monitors have 2x HDMI ports. The 32SR85U comes with 3x USB Type-C ports with 90W power output. The 32SR83U also features 3x USB Type-C ports, but with 65W power output. The 32SR70U, on the other hand, has only one USB Type-C port and it has a 45W power output. This model additionally comes with 2x USB Type-A 2.0 ports which the other two monitors lack.
