LG UltraGear FHD 32-Inch Gaming Monitor 32GN50R, VA 5ms (GtG) with HDR 10 Compatibility, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync Premium, 165Hz, Black

I actually bought this to replace a first gen 4K monitor (Acer XB280HK) I wanted a faster refresh rate and a larger screen to pair with an new AMD build. This is perfect. I get the a bigger screen from the old 27 inch with the same footprint thanks to the smaller bezels. And the build quality is solid. Using FreeSync I get no screen tears and the 144hz refresh rate is noticeable and unbelievably smooth. Going from a TN panel to VA is also nice as the blacks and colors just pop. With little to no LED edge bleed. If you can get this for 300 bucks, I say run dont walk to buy. Although, I would have paid full retail and been happy...sort of.

- Its big and really bright. - Colors are brilliant. - The sound quality of the built-in speakers is horrendous... But then youre not buying this for its speakers, are you? If you are, then you need to rethink how you game. LOL - I would recommend this monitor for computer gaming and/or video. Just use a headset. - Excellent build quality. Sturdy.

Sharp, vibrant, & clear. I love it.

I went from a 1080p 24 60hz monitor (which I actually really liked) to this when we found out we would be doing some work from home. I dont know how it compares to other monitors on the market but for me it is amazing. Looks great, is large for a computer monitor which works great for gaming, streaming Netflix or YouTube as well as work (you can have multiple windows open simultaneously without overlapping and still be a useful size window) and doesnt break the bank. I guess I got lucky as some said it has a lot of light bleed but mine has none noticeable. It has a high refresh rate which works great for gaming with a beautiful picture. I noticed the difference right away when I switched (be sure your computer has the components to properly make use of the resolution and refresh rate). Its one of the best priced 32 2560 x 1440 monitors on the market that Ive seen and they dont really seem to cut any corners to get it there. My only gripe with the monitor is the stand is not my favorite. Im not sure I like the size and shape and it does seem to rotate a little too easy. It is very adjustable though and has a Vesa mount for a monitor arm or wall mount. Great buy.

Overall 4 stars. For gaming 5 stars because 144hz at 1440p is excellent if you have a capable rig that can get you a solid 144FPS which I do. Has VESA mounting, not sure why some people take stars off for no VESA mounting option... They are WRONG and BLIND! The VESA mounting holes are exactly where you attach the included base and LG is kind enough to have screws in the holes for you so they match perfectly when/if you decide to mount it!! Freesync, guys if you have Nvidia Gsync DOES work on this monitor and it works well just enable it in the Nvidia control panel and make sure to turn it on via the monitors OSD controls(joystick under the middle of the bezel) Monitor is quite heavy even without the stand you will need a good monitor arm, I am using a WALI premium and it holds it up fine with the gas piston Colors are okay nothing spectacular but I have to say LG did an extremely good job with this monitor on the color/refresh usually high refresh panels have terrible color quality. Brightness... Damn this thing will melt your eyes in a dark room, I got myself logtitech G560 speakers AND a small desklamp that I put an RGB bulb in to go behind the screen to light the wall up or my eyes get strained from the brightness. I paid alot more than the current price I spent around five hundo... I do not regret it as the monitor is worth it and VERY worth it now at the current pricing under four hundo. If you cant afford the rig to run 4k @120hz which is soon doable thanks to LG OLED panels then this monitor is EXCELLENT for the $$.

First, Beach Camera is outstanding at the speed they shipped the item. I ordered yesterday and it was delivered to my home early this morning in perfect shipped condition. Awesome Beach Camera, thank you guys! The monitor is killer for gaming ... Clarity, speed, resolution, price, everything is great. This is a win plus the retailer kicked a**

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase but feel it prudent to remind others: THIS IS STILL A VA PANEL. It will absolutely exhibit poorer performance in motion than TN or IPS counterparts. Smearing, especially when pixels shift from dark to light colors, is quite noticeable depending on the scene. It is still something I am getting used to. That isnt to say I think this is a bad product. Good color, great blacks, refresh rate is incredible especially in faster pace games (particularly for someone like me who has lived a 60hz life for far too long), and when you compare it to IPS alternatives which are far more expensive for comparable size/specs, and TN alternatives which are great for competitive gaming but sacrifice contrast and rich color, it is a good value. Just know if you go with this product that there are compromises for what you are getting at this price.

This monitor hit it out of the park! It looks super cool. The brightness on it is incredible. Perfect for gaming. The picture quality while gaming is like no other. Like always, LG hitting it out of the park! Def recommend this product to any gamer. The fact that it’s a 32” is great. Feels like I’m surrounded by the game itself. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time.

Initial impressions were quite good. I was really impressed with the build quality on first taking it out of the box. Once I plugged it in though, it fell really short of my expectations. Im not sure if it has to do with the panel type since Ive only ever used ips and this va, but the image was very soft despite this having a greater pixel density than my last monitor. The screen was also quite dark, and adjusting it on my pc and the monitor just made the image look terrible even with other adjustments. I could only keep this one up for awhile before it started to make me nauseous. Keep in mind that unless you plan to wall mount or have a monitor arm, the stand forces the monitor pretty far away from the wall. I have a pretty large desk and it still felt like it was in my face because of how large it is and how close it has to be.

I replaced a 120hz 27 1440p IPS panel that I overclocked because it began to die. I wanted the same thing but I found the 1440 at 27 was just a little too small. I wanted to stretch that out to 32 and I wasnt going to compromise. The problem was at the time of my purchase there were no monitors that fit that bill that were also IPS. Giving up those colors and viewing angles was a hard decision but I did it. Overall I like the monitor. Ive been using it for a few months. I still notice the viewing angles and the image quality will never be as good as an IPS but its a good monitor and Im pleased with it. The perfect monitor for me would be 144hz 32 1440p IPS. Someday Im sure.
