LG gram +view 17MT70 17" Silver 2025
The 17-inch 2560x1600 IPS panel covers 99% DCI-P3 and weighs just 780g, making it an exceptionally color-accurate and portable second screen. Its 16:10 aspect ratio pairs seamlessly with an LG gram laptop to create a single expansive 32:9 workspace, while the anti-glare coating and built-in speakers add practical versatility. This monitor is best for remote workers and students who need a lightweight, color-precise dual-screen setup for document editing and presentations on the go.
