LG opens presales for 27” and 32” LG MyView Smart Monitors powered by webOS 23 for web browsing, office document editing, and streaming video viewing without a computer
LG has opened presales for the 27-inch and 31.5-inch LG MyView Smart Monitors powered by webOS 23 for web browsing, office document editing, and streaming video viewing without a computer. The 4K HDR monitors support USB-C as well as wireless connection to computers, smartphones, tablets, keyboards, and mice.
The operating system was previously known as Palm webOS and used on the 2009 Palm Pre and Pixi smartphones. LG acquired webOS in 2013 for use in smart TVs, monitors, and IoT devices and subsequently open-sourced it.
The 27-inch 4K HDR monitor uses a 10-bit IPS panel with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and DCI-P3 color space coverage of 90%. The 31.5-inch monitor uses a VA panel with the same specifications. Both panels are bezel-less on the sides and top.
Computers, tablets, and smartphones can connect to the monitor using a USB-C cable, which also supplies 65 watts of power, or wirelessly. Keyboards and mice can also connect to the monitor wirelessly. The monitors are equipped with two 5-watt speakers that can be used as wireless speakers for smartphones when listening to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or other music.
The web browser enables online surfing without a computer attached in these LG MyView monitors. Users with a Windows 365 or Google account can also open, read, and edit office documents. WebOS has 600 available video-on-demand (VOD) services and apps, so owners can watch streaming videos from popular services that include Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and Apple TV. Readers who already have a nice 4K HDR monitor, or an HDTV, can turn it into a PC by attaching a PC stick computer (like this one on Amazon) and using it with a wireless keyboard (like this one on Amazon).
The presales will begin on July 25 on Makuake, and regular consumer sales will begin in October 2024 at typical outlets. Pricing has not been finalized but is expected to start at 54,400 yen (~$350).
