Hey everyone,
Let’s be real - finding a monitor that truly belongs on a Mac desk isn’t easy.
Some look great but cost a fortune.
Some are cheaper but don’t play nicely with macOS.
And others just don’t deliver the sharpness or color you expect from a Mac display.
We get it.
That’s where LG’s new UltraFine™ evo 6K (32U990A) comes in.
It’s the world’s first 6K monitor with Thunderbolt™ 5, and on paper, it ticks a lot of the boxes Mac users have been asking for - high pixel density, pro-grade color, smart connectivity, and solid Mac compatibility.
To hear more real-world feedback from this community, we’re picking two r/macsetups members to try it out, keep it, and share their honest thoughts.

Ultimate Clarity
6K (6144 × 3456) resolution on a 32″ panel = 224 PPI, delivering true retina-level detail.
Over 21 million pixels — that’s 156% more than standard 4K.
You can view full-res content and still have plenty of room for toolbars, timelines, and multiple apps.
Nano IPS Black panel with a 2000:1 contrast ratio delivers deep blacks and rich shadows without losing clarity.
Pro-Level Color
99.5% Adobe RGB, 98% DCI-P3, Real 10-bit color depth → ultra-smooth gradients and accurate color from screen to print.
VESA DisplayHDR™ 600 certification for bright highlights, precise contrast, and vibrant color grading.
Perfect for photo editing, 6K video work, 3D rendering, and web/UI design where precision matters.
Next-Gen Connectivity: Thunderbolt™ 5 + More
Thunderbolt™ 5 = 2× the speed of TB4, with 96W power delivery and 6K daisy chaining.
DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, USB-C (up + 2× down), USB-A ×2 : basically everything you need for a pro setup.
Works seamlessly with Mac and Windows, and can run dual 6K on Windows via daisy chain.
Built-in KVM switch lets you control multiple devices with one keyboard and mouse.
Ports & Power for Multi-Device Workflows
Thunderbolt 5, HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4, USB-C (up & 2× 10 Gbps down), USB-A ×2
Built-in KVM for easy switching between Mac & PC
Pivot support for vertical layouts
Daisy-chain support for dual 6K setups on Windows
Smart, Comfortable, and Workspace-Friendly
TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort Certified for long editing sessions.
Virtually borderless 4-sided design + ergonomic stand (tilt, height, pivot, rotate 90°).
LG Switch app makes screen adjustments and window layouts intuitive — including quick presets for editing or calls.
Integrated audio keeps your desk clean while still giving you reliable sound for playback and meetings.
And yes - it’s positioned at a much more approachable price than other 6K options. ([$1,999.99 at LG.com](https://lgcog.click/game-0156))
