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))
