LG has unveiled the LG 17MT70, a portable 17-inch monitor in the Gram +view series, built for professionals who need an extended workspace. This LG gram secondary screen connects to laptops, smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles, offering a high-resolution travel display for work and entertainment.
The LG 17MT70 features an IPS anti-glare panel with 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, so it delivers vivid, true-to-life colors. Additionally, its 350-nit brightness and 1,200:1 contrast ratio ensure clear visibility, even in bright settings.
It pairs with LG gram laptops, creating a 32:10 ultra-wide view for smoother multitasking. Whether editing videos, managing spreadsheets, or referencing documents, the LG gram screen extender expands the workspace without added bulk. It also has a Mini HDMI port and 1.5W stereo speakers and works with gaming consoles and cameras.
This USB-C portable display adapts to different tasks with landscape and portrait modes:
- Landscape mode – Ideal for creative work, presentations, and multitasking.
- Portrait mode – Perfect for reading, coding, or reviewing documents.
The WQXGA (2560 × 1600) resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio provide a spacious screen, reducing the need for constant scrolling.
Weighing just 800g, this slim, lightweight external display is easy to carry. Dual USB Type-C ports allow simultaneous display output and charging with Power Delivery (PD), eliminating battery concerns during long hours of use.
