LG has shown off its new UltraFine 6K Display at CES 2025, and it’s the first 6K monitor to use Thunderbolt 5 ports. This connector was only recently introduced in the latest Apple M4 Pro MacBook Pro and the Mac mini, so supporting Thunderbolt 5 could put LG ahead of the curve. What’s more, the monitor doesn’t just support the latest Apple tech — it looks a lot like Apple’s Pro Display XDR. Unfortunately, the details about this beautiful display are still scarce.
The display has a Nano IPS Black panel with a 98% DCI-P3 color gamut. Nano IPS Black technology has deeper blacks and improved color accuracy compared to older IPS displays, but it’s still considered inferior to OLED and mini-LED. On the bright side, the use of Nano IPS could bring the price of the UltraFine Display down, so it could be worth it.
The design of the display has changed, too, dropping the curved stand for a slim, geometric design. The bezels are so thin that they seem practically invisible in the teaser image, and there are no notches, bulges, or even logos in sight. The model number is 32U990A, which, judging by older models, indicates that this is a 32-inch display.
Another detail that hasn’t been revealed yet is the refresh rate. Thunderbolt 5 can provide up to 120GBps of bandwidth and can run two 8K displays at 60Hz — which means it should be able to handle a 6K display running at 120Hz. But just because it’s possible doesn’t mean LG has chosen to support 120Hz, so we’ll just have to wait and see what the company announces.
Despite the lack of details, the response to LG’s new display seems positive. With its new Apple-like design, it could become a great alternative for those who don’t want to hand over $4,999 for Apple’s Pro Display XDR. If it supports a 120Hz refresh rate, I could see it being a solid option for creatives.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
