This is an ODM manufacturer similar to Fshuo (Shenzhen Shuzhe), but with an even lower profile (no presence on Taobao or Tmall, for example). I haven't listed them (or Fshuo) in the WikiPost, because anyone can put their brand on these designs. They are all over AliExpress and the like.
https://tcolor.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-957653216/32英寸6千60赫兹.html
Here's a link to the product group list for 32" (32英寸) 6K (6千) 60Hz (60赫兹). You'll notice four current "Alibaba Guaranteed" listings with four different product descriptions, including one for the 6144x3456 LG Display panel, but the model number and specs and price in that listing are exactly the same as the others (which are surely the AUO panel). So I'd be cautious. It's a bit weird. But you can't beat the price, and Alibaba guarantees the factory exists.

Yeah, in your link if you also look at the other listings including the ones that are not Alibaba Guaranteed, there are actually several that specifically mention the LG Nano-IPS Black panel by name and some also specifically mention 6144x3456 in the description, but when you look at the resolution options in the ordering section, every single one of them lists a resolution of 6016x3384. This includes the Alibaba Guaranteed one.

Looking through all the tabs on those Alibaba searches my distinct impression is that all the images are photoshop mix and match composites... 😵💫
Especially the more or less identical 5K perforated aluminium monitors, which have about five different variations of the port layouts.
All of which I can recognise from the various 4K and 5K video driver boards available on AliE/B pages.
I very much doubt all those variations exist.
If you looK at the 6K port layout that @EugW posted in #226 it is different to one I screenshotted from the sales video.
That looks like photoshop, on probably every single image...
No doubt there are actual products available to purchase, but exactly what?

No doubt it is aimed at B2B customers inside China. They are a factory, you work with a customer representative to put together a work order. Some parts they have in stock, other parts they have to order. It depends on what you want.
Like Fshuo, they’ve discovered they can sell generic designs factory direct to consumers, but it isn’t their core business.

I don't want to bother you but I'd like to repeat my message. Information from you as a real owner would be very appreciated.

why need I to provide a screenshot to prove what i experimented? I am total positive 4:4:4 for me on various mode via TB4 cable. Try yourself if you don't believe it.
if I had an LG 6K monitor I'd try it and provide a screenshot (as a proof for possible similar questions in the future) for the community. But ok, I don't insist.
These 5K and 6K discussions make me wonder what I am missing at 4K. Time to check some stuff out over at MicroCenter.
It can't hurt to try at your store, but I find the real test is on your own desk doing your own work.
If you're looking at demo reels in the store, they all look fine. Giant text, solid colours, or else hyperrealistic colours in video designed to make monitors look good. However, if you're working in fine text on your desk, the differences between Retina and non-Retina become obvious, at least if you sit at say 20-22" (which is a normal desktop seating distance). I do a lot of 2D text work throughout the day and I found using a 32" 4K Asus ProArt frustrating at my 22" seating distance. I actually downsized the screen to get a higher pixel density equivalent to a 27" 4K monitor for better text quality, but sacrificed physical width.
That's why ordered the 32" 6K. I find 27" 4K physically too narrow, but 32" 4K text quality too poor. 27" 5K has great text quality, but it's the same narrow physical width as 27" 4K obviously.
OTOH, a lot of video editors love their 32" 4K OLED screens because they don't necessarily need fine text quality, and value the very high contrast ratio and inky blacks of OLED much more.
It appears that the LG UltraFine 32U990A evo may be the best 6K display so far after the Apple Pro Display XDR.
It’s probable there are small but meaningful improvements in the SS B1 (2025) panel over the SS A1 (2023) panel.
@EugW
A while ago you asked "What panel is in the Pro Display XDR?"
The only information I've found is in this Reddit teardown, which seems to show that everything in the Pro XDR display is a bespoke design by Apple. Click on the picture and you can click R/L to view about 20 detailed images.
It doesn't have a 'panel'.
It has a glass-fronted matrix panel, and then, separately the diffusion layers, and then an extremely complicated backlight structure.
Then the various pcbs, PSU etc, which can only be accessed by removing all the layers in front. 😳
The Reddit comments detail the process:
"...every component need to be taken apart
it’s not fused so you need to remove the lcd and after every each layers and the backlight panel and after you can access to the boards"
I think it likely that LG has built it, entirely to Apple's specification and design.
So it will never be replicated for another product.

Nice! This tear-down (obviously) conforms to the image in the Technology Overview, which shows five distinct layers in the panel including the backlight (similar to XDR panels in MacBook Pros). Anyone confused by how the elements shown in the photos fit together should consult that. 32x18=576 LEDs.
I would just point out that there is no indication that it is manufactured by LG Display. I tried to find confirmation of that from 2019 (or later) but could not. It was all circumstantial and not at all definitive. Nobody making the claim has any unambiguous quotes or other proof. It could also be AUO, indeed to me that seems far more likely.
This was all pretty new around 2018-2019 when Apple was working on this. Here’s an October 2018 overview of new panel technologies — notice that AUO is mentioned as having its own IPS variant.
Yep, that is what I am considering. I wish I could afford the XDR but $7k (nano/stand) is crazy. If it was half, I would buy it. I like the Kuycon but not taking the chance without a solid USA support in case something happens later.
Let's promo this thread popular https://www.rtings.com/discussions/MZ_iEXHT_18cn-WZ/high-dpi-monitors-section rtings team may reviewing them imo.
To those complaining about matte displays, I really suggest trying to see a 6K matte display in person. It may not be for everyone, but I'm really liking the matte on this LG 6K. It's really not the same as old school matte displays, and text quality is excellent.
If after seeing it yourself, you still don't like it that's fine of course, but just don't base it on experiences of old school matte displays.

I like to work on bright environments with lots of windows. Matte is a must. The main reason I still have a 30" ACD display. I also have a MBP 16" and I barely look at it because all the reflections on the screen supper annoying.
I have a 30" ACD too, but there is some sort of weird burn-in at the edges that shows up after the monitor warms up. However, the main issue is that the text is pixelated at its 101 ppi.
Not sure about the Asus, but think of the LG 6K next gen matte compared to the 30" ACD, with super high pixel density and no pixels visible, and no futzing around with dual-link DVI.
I am very interested in the LG 6K. I'll just wait a bit longer to see if Apple does something by the mid of next year. My first choice obviously is the XDR, but at $6.5k (nano/vesa) it is just too much. If it were $3k, it would be a no-brainer due to the build quality. I wished Apple after all these years would discount the XDR like they did with the ACD when I bought it 20 years ago.

After 3 weeks, I had decided return it. Just not used to matte panel at all.
