LG has released numerous monitors over the years, with some models proving so successful that they were reintroduced in subsequent years with slight modifications. With a wide range of options available, selecting the right monitor often requires comparing key specifications.
To make this process easier, a comparison table can be used to sort models based on specific parameters such as resolution, refresh rate, panel type, and additional features. While other factors like response time, brightness, and contrast ratio are often mentioned in specifications, these values tend to be quite similar across most models and may not always reflect real-world performance accurately.
LG Monitors in 2018
In early 2018, LG introduced its latest lineup of monitors, bringing improvements in display technology and performance. The models released during this period can generally be categorized into two main types based on their color depth:
- 8-bit + FRC Monitors – These monitors utilize native 8-bit panels and employ Frame Rate Control (FRC) technology to simulate 10-bit color depth, enhancing color accuracy and gradient smoothness.
- 6-bit + FRC Monitors – Featuring native 6-bit panels, these monitors also use FRC to achieve an effective 8-bit color depth, making them a more budget-friendly option while still delivering decent color reproduction.
The supported refresh rates in LG’s 2018 lineup typically range from 60Hz to 75Hz, depending on the panel type. Some higher-end models also include gaming-oriented features such as adaptive sync technologies (AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-Sync), higher refresh rates, and ultra-wide aspect ratios to cater to different user needs.
LG continued to innovate during this period, offering improved IPS and VA panels with better viewing angles, color accuracy, and response times. Many models also included USB-C connectivity, HDR support, and ergonomic stands for greater versatility.
