Item Description:
31" Digital Cinema 4K monitor with energy-AH-IPS LED Panel for creative professionals in 17: 9 format, Fast AH-IPS panel with high resolution of 4096 x 2160 and 149ppi pixel density for the resolution of the finest details, 178-degree wide viewing.

LG's 31-inch 4K IPS Monitor offers high-end features and functions that make it the perfect solution for professionals who need a top-of-the-line monitor with all the bells and whistles. It boasts rich, 10-bit color depth that supports over 1-billion colors, plus IPS Display that lets you effortlessly retouch photos to create vivid and vibrant colors, as well as DCP-P3 Digital Cinema Color Standard, which allows for editing with shadow detail, color, saturation, and brightness for overall control in the post production stage. The LG 31MU97-B also offers Digital Cinema 4K Resolution, providing crisp images with a significant amount of pixels on screen, Dual Color Space for comparing the work done using both color modes simultaneously, and so much more. Now, all the details are right before you with the richer and wider color range that enables accurate, detailed, and natural-looking images. Learn more about the LG 4K IPS monitor, as well as our entire collection of monitors and computer products and see how LG is making life good.

10-Bit Color Depth (1 billion colors) - 10-bit color depth that supports over 1-billion colors is 64 times richer than an 8-bit color display, re-creating colors softly and naturally without color banding. Now, all the details are right before you with the richer and wider color range that enables accurate, detailed, and natural-looking images. Also, with smoother transition in gradients, the more shades in between let you work with images in more detail.

IPS Display with Adobe RGB over 99.5% - By supporting Adobe RGB over 99.5% on the IPS Display, the 31MU97 minimizes color difference and color loss with the wide color gamut and color temperature that covers both the sRGB and CMYK color range. As a result, one can effortlessly retouch and image photos to create final products with vivid and vibrant colors that VA or other LCD panels cannot deliver.

DCP-P3 Digital Cinema Color Standard - Editing on-site footage with the full color expression is possible with the 31MU97's DCI color standard support which reproduces digital content color just like what you intended with the preview camera on site. Allows for accurate conditions such as shadow detail, color, saturation, and brightness for finer editing and overall control in the post production stage.

Digital Cinema 4K Resolution - The 31MU97 delivers 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution across a 31" display, providing crisp images with a significant amount of pixels on screen. 4K(4096 x 2160) resolution displays over four times the resolution of standard 1920 x1080 FHD, and over half a million more pixels than UHD resolution(3840 x 2160) which makes you view even the finest details clearly to carry out intricate work for higher quality output.

Dual Color Space - Compare the work done using both color modes simultaneously - half of the screen in one mode and the other half in another - color distortion and maintaining the original resolution are no longer a concern when it comes to output. With Adobe RGB and sRGB side-by-side, you can get an idea of how the final printable will look like with Adobe RGB mode and also can find out how the final output will be on websites with the sRGB mode at once.

Total Color Management - Through detailed color calibration testing, the 31MU97 maintains the color standard with software calibration and a factory preset, minimizing differences in color space and expressions between the original images, monitor screen, and printed result.

MAXXAUDIO + 5W Speakers - With two internal 5W speakers and the MAXXAUDIO functions, there is no need for separate high-end monitoring speakers. The 31MU97 which supports MAXXAUDIO delivers high quality sound with a wide range of vibrant, crisp, and clean high and low sounds while reviewing or editing 4K contents.

Pivot / Height Adjustment - The 31MU97's pivot function enables you to not reduce size of photos or drag and scroll the vertically long photos all the way down any more. It also lets you could rotate origin pictures up to 90? depending on the ratio of the work space, giving you the perfect conditions to work under. By activating pivot function on your needs, 31MU97 allows fast and efficient work without any discomfort.

Beautiful monitor, but expensive

Beautiful monitor, over the nine years that I've owned it. It has failed twice, once repaired by a local LG shop; the second time, I had to send it back to LG. Still waiting to hear from them.

Great When It Works

These are great when they work. Extremely sensitive to power fluctuations. And 9/10 times if the device refuses to turn on, it's the EEPROM chip on the mainboard stuck in a loop, refusing to issue a power on voltage. There is a ton of replacement chips online and it's a relatively easy fix. The monitor's been out of production for some time, so it's pointless to worry about warranty. Buy one that won't turn on but is fine otherwise and swap your own EEPROM.

The Good: The monitor is REALLY sharp, great colour reproduction and easy to use menus with a plethora of options for connectivity. The Bad: QUITE often get screen tearing that can be mitigated by switching screen resolutions (but is a pain), and I find the screen VERY sensitive to shocks. The screen's main board have shorted on two occasions, both times connected to UPS power backups with surge protection. I've had the monitor board replaced once at 50% the cost of the unit (originally $1000) and now after a second failure with no interest to keep my business, i'm forced to consider the competition for a solution. What else can I say?

Dies after the warranty runs out

I decided to try LG against my better judgement. I'm usually a Samsung guy. I bought this monitor in July of 2015 and the warranty ran out in July of 2016. On March 6, 2019, my 31MU97-B Monitor died; I was cleaning a speck of dirt off of the screen with my finger and it suddenly went black. I tried everything- unplug, replug, new power and HDMI cables, nothing resurrected it. So, I got about four years of use out of it. In comparison though, I own an older Samsung U28D590D that I bought in July of 2014. My daughter has been using it and it still works like a champ- no dead pixels, no issues whatsoever and she games, does her college homework, and chats on Facebook; she uses her monitor way more hours than I do. I have now switched to Acer because of their 3 year warranty. I feel the company backs their products better than LG. I didn't buy another Samsung because, they too only offer a one year warranty. When you and I purchase high end 4K monitors (around $1,000+), we expect them to last at least till the next technology update (e.g. OLED). But, perhaps I'm expecting too much. Still, I'll keep trying different companies till one gets it right.

I have had this monitor for a couple of years. I just powered it off, and moved it to another desk and now it is dead. Then I search and find out that it is very common. I will NEVER buy another LG product. Do not waste your money. I'm sure this will get deleted.

Works ok but not 100% iMac Pro compatible

Works ok but not 100% iMac Pro compatible, the screen resolution is fine but when the monitor is connected the iMac mouse pointer is jerky intermittently. It's a real killer and every time the monitor starts I get the message "(Caution) make sure to use a supplied mini display port and HDMI cable" but the iMac pro doesn't have a display port but it on the iMac pro supported monitor list??? I tried a USB-C to Display port and the monitor is not even recognised. Very frustrating indeed. Apparently its a common problem on further research????

Bought it and when warranty was expired video board crapped. You did nothing for me so it went to recycle plant. I cannot afford to deal with manufacturers like LG

Have had this tv for 5+ years. It's great, sleek and the picture quality and features are optimal for 2010. Consider this, all advanced features relevant to xbox one are compatible with this lg tv, even though the xbox was released years later. Lg products are competitively equal to other bands, and cheaper. They support all current generation features given the year of the product. I've never had a problem with my LGTV. It's served well and there has not needed to be any maintenance so far. The LG team knows quality as well as reasonable pricing on products.

it's now more than 6 months since i purchased the LG tv. it actually is far much better than my previous unit in terms of clarity and im spoilt for choice. i especially like the fact that the navigation is so simple yet precise. also the additional Bluetooth sound function is a plus. i however do have a couple of downside to it. the apps are limited (i wish they introduced KODI for this tv) also the storage is way way to small. i hope they introduce compatible 1tb disks that can be easily replaced, this will assist in strong downloaded movies and series to be viewed later and at leisure. this will also reduce the number of times that the apps have to stop in order for the tv to clear some space otherwise. i would highly recommend this to anyone.
