Available for pre-order at LG.com, the LG Smart Monitor Swing has an SRP of $1,299.99.

Furthering LG's legacy of innovation and leadership in pioneering new technology categories, the LG Smart Monitor Swing builds on the success of LG's category-bending StanbyME and StanbyME Go, giving users the versatility to flex from home entertainment to home office. Additionally, the LG Smart Monitor Swing has already garnered significant industry recognition, earning a CES 2025 Innovation Award.

Thoughtful design extends to its stable, thick square-shaped base and sleek gray-white finish, ensuring it blends effortlessly into any home or workplace. Mobility is enhanced by integrated wheels, allowing for easy repositioning, while a hidden adapter discreetly conceals cables for a clean and organized aesthetic.

With a brightness of 350 nits and up to 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, visuals are exceptionally vibrant and realistic.

With built-in webOS, the 32U889SA provides access to a wide array of popular streaming services, productivity apps, and smart home controls out of the box, without the need for an external PC. Users can also enjoy clear audio for entertainment and virtual meetings thanks to its integrated stereo speakers. Leveraging LG webOS, the monitor is also fully equipped for a robust home office experience, allowing users to remotely access their PC and Cloud PC with Remote PC. This enables seamless use of various home office services, including video conferencing and cloud-based applications, all without a dedicated PC. For seamless connectivity with various devices, the monitor features a comprehensive suite of ports, including USB-C (with 65 W power delivery)3 and HDMI, to effortlessly mirror and share content from smart devices to a larger screen in just a few taps.

Also one that actively spies on its users for that kind of money.
-to facilitate further-profitizing the customer, post-purchase. o_O

We're clearly beyond the era of 'free/subsidized by metadata' products/services, and solidly into the era of charging more for a lesser product :shadedshu:
 
Why on earth would anyone announce a $1300 product that is 60Hz in 2025? Garbage.
If this was a professional monitor meant for color critical work then i could almost understand the price (tho even office and pro monitors have moved on from 60Hz).
But a 32" 60Hz IPS with a touchscreen and built-in WebOS for that kind on money? Jeez.
 
I like the idea, but it is too risky, monitor could easily knocked down and be smashed on ground!
We need a review to be sure!

Because it has a tall stand with wheels for all those home desks that aren't facing a wall.

Duh.

Releasing the stand separately might be a more successful product, instead of pairing it with a substandard LCD.
