LG’s Smart Monitor Swing with UHD panel and WebOS 24 goes on sale in the US

LG has officially announced the US pricing and availability details for its latest Smart Monitor Swing. The LG Smart Monitor Swing (32U889SA) is priced at $1,299.99 and is now available for preorder via LG’s official website, with shipping beginning in August 2025. LG’s new monitor builds on the success of LG’s category-bending StandByME (curr. available at $996.99 on Amazon) and StandByME 2. 

The Smart Monitor Swing, designed for users who want productivity, entertainment, and creativity, features a 31.5-inch IPS touchscreen panel that outputs at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels with a standard 60 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 350 nits. Plus, the panel covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and offers a 5 ms response time. 

Unlike the StandbyMe 2 portable monitor, it lacks a built-in battery, meaning you are still somewhat limited by the length of the power cable. LG packs a decent set of ports on the back, including three USB-C ports and two HDMI ports. Furthermore, the monitor also supports 65 W power delivery via a USB-C port. One thing that is common in both the Smart Monitor Swing and the StandbyME 2 is an adjustable arm that can tilt up and down, as well as swivel and pivot right/left and landscape/portrait. 

All this setup is mounted on a highly flexible wheeled base stand that offers different height adjustments, providing the flexibility for various work modes, from sitting to standing, desk height, or tabletop. Software-wise, the productivity-focused monitor runs LG’s webOS 24 out of the box.

Needless to say, the monitor also offers access to a wide array of popular streaming services, productivity apps, and smart home controls. Other features include integrated speakers, the LG ThinQ app, AirPlay, remote desktop, HDR10, auto brightness, and smart energy saving mode. Dimensionally, the Smart Monitor Swing measures 28.6 x 17.2 x 1.1 inches (726.4 x 436.8 x 27.9 mm) without the stand and weighs around 13.4 lbs (6 kg).
