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

Upgrading from a nice Samsung 27. This is probably as big as practical if youre sitting at a desk with the monitor in front of you. The Freesync seems to really help smooth out gameplay even on my slightly older than a year gaming pc. Its very easy to set up. Doesnt have as much angular motion as my older monitor so if I want to show my wife sitting next to me a video or something it doesnt quite pivot as much. Also you can turn it shortside up but not easily--with the stand all the way up it still wont pivot up...you would have to lay it down, pivot it, then stand it back up. But still an awesome monitor.

Everything about this monitor is good. The bezel is thin and unobtrusive. The stand is just the right size and form. The vertical and tilt adjustments work easily. The menu is the best Ive ever seen on a monitor. It has a single joystick sort of button on the bottom, and a very well designed menu for setting the various options. The image quality is very good, very smooth frame rate, as expected, and the image quality is very good (not as good as a lower frame rate IPS monitor I have beside it, but very good regardless). I recently bough another IPS monitor for the image quality, but I wish i would have just bought another one of these monitors for the better controls, frame rate, stand, etc.

I got this on a Prime Day special for a great price. 32 1440p 144hz & Freesync support. Super easy set up the stand just clicks into place. It has DP and HDMI inputs, older cables require an adapter or gpu upgrade. I had some tearing on the windows start screen and desktop with Freesync enabled (gpu is a radeon rx 590) but I turned it off and cranked the refresh and now nary a pixel is out of place. Monitor control is a joystick nub front and center on the bottom edge . Its out of sight and no reaching behind the monitor to make adjustments - I wish every monitor was like that! Screen is super fast, bright, and clear with no dead pixels. Skyrim, SWTOR, ESO, sports streaming (mlb & nhl), streaming movies have never looked better!

144 Hertz NOT available for 1920 x 1080 in full screen mode. first if you want greater than 60 Hz which you should know is necessary for monitors because 60 Hz is harmful to the user because your mind can see the flicker if less than 75 Hz; you seem to have forgot how harmful it is to use 60 Hz? Requires Display port for greater than 60 Hz. may display 1920 x 1080 at 75 Hz. I resized display using Nvidia Control Panel and was able to get 144 Hz using nonstandard configuration and is not support in Native mode.

If youre like me youve been reading reviews for monitors and all of them have negative reviews of some sort so you dont know what to buy. This result is absolutely killer for everything but one thing. Text. Text doesnt look as good on this monitor vs. a smaller one, on top of that scrolling white text on a black background, even at fastest response 144hrz freesync, there is ghosting. So if you can deal with that, this monitor will be rock solid.

This monitor is excellent, the specs on this monitor are a great value for the money. Most monitors with these specs cost about a hundred dollars more. The contrast makes the colors vibrant and pop. The brightness is more than adequate for gaming and working. The aesthetics are also slick with the red orange accents, although you cant really see them while you are working on the monitor. Im coming from a 1080p 60Hz LG monitor and the difference while gamming is noticeable. The Hz provide a smoother picture and experience while gaming. Big pluses: -Comes with 4ft display cable, which is important because you can not get the 144Hz without display cable! -Price is $100 less than other models of same quality. -Red orange accents look slick -Raises and lowers, tilts -Ability to fine tune with onscreen display Cons: - Comes about 8 off of the wall when on original stand. This is only a problem if your workstation is against a wall and you like the monitor pushed up against the wall on your desk. But you can always mount it to the wall because its fully VESA mountable.

Absolutely the best monitor that you can get for 1440p/144hz gaming. I use display port to connect to the PC so getting the max refresh rate is perfect. The viewing angles are great, the colors after a little adjustment, using the colors settings recommended from a video by Hardware Unboxed and the colors look great. It can get very bright if needed. It has an Audio out port to be able to connect headphones or external speakers to the monitor for sound and that is very convenient since external speakers or headphones will sound better than if the monitor had internal speakers. I dont experience any ghosting at all while gaming. Excellent monitor. 10/10 would buy again

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.

Let me open up this review by saying, yes, you should get this. Its good. I like it. I dont regret my purchase in any way whatsoever and you probably wont either. Im now going to complain because something this good shouldnt have some of the weird nearly-inconsequential flaws that it does. Input auto-switching is finicky. You occasionally have to do it by hand when it should be obvious to the monitor which input is active. The slim bezel is a double-edged sword. I love that its comfortable to use in a pair. I also wish it had a little more top bezel to clamp a camera to. FreeSync works great and theres an extended compatibility mode that is intended to make it work with G-Sync if you monkey with your drivers a little. That isnt as consistently reliable as I wish it were, but once you get it going its mostly fine. It urgently wants to go into sleep mode if theres no signal. This isnt really a problem at all unless you have multiple systems hooked up to the monitor. If you do, you will often find yourself in a situation where you switch inputs, turn on your other machine, and if it doesnt boot like lightning the monitor will assume theres no signal and switch back. Its really only annoying if you want to get into the second machines setup mode or EFI menu. The back of the monitor is not flat. Its curved toward the mounting post. Remember that camera I wanted to clamp to it? The back of the monitor is not parallel to the front, so the clamp is a little wonky. I read every slip of paper that came with the thing and carefully assembled the mounts. Theres still a small plastic clip in one of the parts bags that I have no idea whatsoever what its for. Its shown on the parts diagram with no description and Ive probably spent a good hour trying to puzzle out where its supposed to go. Maybe one day Ill figure it out but until then the little clips sit in a drawer. Heres my big one, though, and Id almost call this half a star off the review if I didnt really like this monitor: Two identical monitors from the same shipment sit at different heights. The height is adjustable just fine (although one post is a little stiffer to move than the other). If you bottom out both of my monitors, though, one sits about a quarter of an inch higher than the other. This wouldnt really be a problem for anyone who doesnt have a kind of high desk. I have a kind of high desk so I have to bump the other monitor up by that quarter of an inch. In any case, its still a great monitor and Im super happy with these things. No regrets. Despite the fact that 80% of this review consists of complaining, all the things I didnt talk about are fantastic. Pictures great. Price is terrific. Easy to put together. Doesnt take up a ton of space. Has a bit of cable management in the back for multiple inputs and its pretty easy to reach back there and blindly mess with plugs if you have to. Power cord is acceptably long. Itll actually show a scaled picture if sent a 4K signal, although by default it will complain that youre in the wrong resolution. I dumped the EDID and its pretty accurate; its not faking that its a 4K monitor, it just happens to not fail outright if you get a high resolution signal. All the good stuff. Oh. Right. The stand is kind of ugly. Its got these cool gamer red stripes on it that are a bit tacky and dated. If you put the monitors on a swing arm you can avoid having to look at the stands feet. So, yeah, buy it.

I got this on a Prime Day special for a great price. 32 1440p 144hz & Freesync support. Super easy set up the stand just clicks into place. It has DP and HDMI inputs, older cables require an adapter or gpu upgrade.
