The most notable feature on the new LG UltraFine 5K monitor is its ability to connect with an iPad Pro – offering a stunning larger display for creatives to work on.
Aside from the new stuff, the LG UltraFine 5K monitor remains the same as its predecessor. The monitor offers a P3 wide colours gamut, 500-nit brightness and over 14 million pixels.
The main issue with the LG monitors is also still the same, you have to be willing to splash out over a grand. You can currently grab the LG UltraFine 5K Display for £1179 ($1299) from the Apple Store.

LG Display recently revealed a new installation at Harrods in London. The installation shows off the company’s latest OLED technology. The display includes a store within Harrods as well as a window display to let passersby take a look at some stunning displays from Philips, Bang & Olufsen, LG Electronics and Panasonic.
If you think the Apple-endorsed LG displays are expensive, you may want to look away. Apple recently revealed its own display – the Apple Mac Pro Display XDR. The Apple Mac Pro Display XDR starts at an eye-watering $4999 (~£3950). In case that wasn’t enough, the display stand costs an extra $999 (~£819).
