LG please correct this in a firmware update. The color temperature in SDR by default is amber tinted, but you can correct it to 6550K (not precisely 6500K), but close enough. It would be nice if the color temperature control could be more finely controlled to get a precise 6500K, but maybe if they release some firmware updates with a 6500K white point out of the box this will be a non-issue. Another issue is the EOTF tracking is not precise enough, but honestly isn't a deal breaker, HDR would look fine if the color temperature could be corrected manually. LG will need to give the users more control if they want to attract buyers with the current 32" 4K/240Hz OLED competition. LG has the worst out of the box calibration out of all of them. I do not recommend the display if you do not have a colorimeter, at least until they release a fix via firmware updates. If you do have a colorimeter, it is a good buy.

A monitor for immersion or competitive gaming? YES

The LG UltraGear 32GS95UE is LG's contribution to the growing class of high-end/premium 32" 4K 240Hz OLED monitors. This monitor uses LG's in house WOLED technology, as opposed to QD-OLED from Samsung. There are minimal pros and cons to both, but overall, you'll get all the benefits of OLED with the gorgeous colors, near infinite contrast with true deep blacks, and the instantaneous 0.03ms response time.The standout feature of the 32GS95UE is the dual mode that seems to be unique as of now to WOLED displays. LG is the first to have it, and other brands such as ASUS has teased there own using the same LG WOLED display. The dual mode lets you quickly switch from an immersive UHD 4K 240Hz display to a blazing fast competitive FHD 1080p 480Hz display with a simple ... MoreThe LG UltraGear 32GS95UE is LG's contribution to the growing class of high-end/premium 32" 4K 240Hz OLED monitors.

The dual mode lets you quickly switch from an immersive UHD 4K 240Hz display to a blazing fast competitive FHD 1080p 480Hz display with a simple press of a button. Basically, you are getting a 2-in-1 with this monitor. No matter the game you play or type of player you are, this monitor will be perfect.This LG also has an anti-glare matte finish. This has been highly controversial, but the matte finish on this display is pretty minimal. It does its job without washing out the contrast of the colors or taking away from the deep blacks. If you want to see how little this matte finish affects the display, look up Youtuber "Optimum" on "matte vs glossy OLED" on YouTube. He breaks everything down with this specific monitor side-by-side with a glossy QD-OLED. Although a glossy display will always have a bit more sharpness and color, those who bash on this display have either not seen it in person or have been brainwashed by those online to feel otherwise. For me, the matte finish was a must have since I use my PC often in bright rooms with a window right next to me. On the other hand, QD-OLEDs lack a polarizing layer on their displays which caused raised blacks and a purple tint in bright lit rooms.The speaks on this monitor are some of the bests I have ever heard. Most monitors I have used or tried have terrible speaks, if they even have any. Coming from the ASUS ROG PG42UQ which also had fantastic speakers, these ones still blew me away. The "Pixel Sound" truly comes from the screen with great volume and clarity, with decent bass.Pricing is the only real con I have experienced so far with this monitor. Although you are getting a 2-in-1 experience with the dual mode, I think LG should have better positioned themself with this feature while also staying competitive with pricing with the growing popularity of QD-OLEDs, especially considering there are models below $1k. I think a starting price of around $1,200 would have been much better.Overall, the 32GS95UE is my favorite 32" 4K 240Hz OLED monitor this year (so far). It's clear 4K resolution, gorgeous colors and deep blacks thanks to the OLED panel, and ultra smooth 240Hz with a 0.03ms GTG pixel response time make up a truly immersive experience. Add in the dual mode, pixel sound, and a clean design, and we have the ultimate gaming monitor.

Beautiful, but Not for All

LG is one of the top names in monitors, without a doubt. And the LG UltraGear 32" OLED 4K monitor continues that trend, albeit with some characteristics that I didn't expect.DESIGNThe monitor is sleek and has a great profile to it. The almost borderless design is great to look at and enjoyable to use. I tend to think that 32" monitor are best when they have a slight curve to them, but that's my personal preference and it might not be shared by everyone. What I can say though - is that it should blend in relatively well with any other modern 32" monitor. The base is solid and sturdy, allowing for any style of tilt and turn you could need for your specific setup, and it's very easy to manage your cables behind the monitor for organization and keeping that cable ... MoreLG is one of the top names in monitors, without a doubt.

The base is solid and sturdy, allowing for any style of tilt and turn you could need for your specific setup, and it's very easy to manage your cables behind the monitor for organization and keeping that cable clutter out of view.EXPERIENCESetup and first time usage is easy enough. Friendly reminder to everyone that you will want to follow the guide in the box to mount the monitor on its stand without touching it for the sake of the panel's health. When you first power on the screen after it's connected to a Windows system, the LG Monitor App Installer will appear on your PC. I tried out some of LG's tuning applications that were included here, and while I will not use them on a daily basis, it is nice to have some tools that can help you configure the monitor. I tend to simply use my monitor as a monitor ones the colors and settings are calibrated. For the record, Windows did detect and run this monitor at 4K 240hz upon first connection to my PC, which is appreciated.PERFORMANCE AND VIEWINGHigh quality gaming is the name of the game with this monitor, probably moreso than color accuracy. I'm not saying that the colors were bad by any means, but the panel should be calibrated personally if color accuracy is your goal. The 240hz 4k and 480hz 1080p dual mode system is wonderful, and while I would only use the 1080p 480hz for seriously competitive gaming, the panel is beautiful, and the 0.03 GTG response timings are plain to see. I've never used a panel that was so responsive before, both in terms of refresh rate and creating a non-smeary imagine. What I do have to say though - is that I am not a huge fan of the matte finish on the screen. It doesn't allow the OLED panel to shine. It seems like it takes away from some of its beauty. Now, again, for competitive gaming in a variety of lighting conditions for a given room, this might be a good thing. I know the window in my office gives some glare from time to time, but honestly, the panel would look so much brighter and robust without the matte finish.FINAL THOUHGHTSThe value proposition of this monitor is the dual mode 240hz 4k and 480hz 1080p panel. If that is not your goal or need for a new monitor, I don't think this is the panel you're looking for. Many modern monitors in this price category will provide you with USB-C power delivery for your laptop, a "built-in" dock with the ability to plug in multiple USB devices to the monitor, and heck, maybe even a webcam. For this device though, the focus is really on competitive gamers who want an OLED panel. I don't think that product category will apply to very many buyers in this price range, but I highly recommend everyone looks at this monitor at their local Best Buy to make their own decisions.

Big, Bold, Beautiful

A great display is going to have superb color accuracy, ultra fast refresh rates, and as high a resolution as you can manage. Unfortunately the majority of gaming displays out there will only really be able to deliver two out of the three. LG's latest OLED UltraGear displays make a solid attempt at delivering all three, and mostly succeeds.The first thing pretty much everyone will notice is that this is a beast of a display. While many have chosen to design OLED displays to be more space efficient than their LCD counterparts LG seems to have chosen to keep most of the size and heft of their LCD based designs. While this does make unpacking it somewhat unwieldy (I was just about able to do it on my own - but those with shorter arms might want to plan to ask for ... MoreA great display is going to have superb color accuracy, ultra fast refresh rates, and as high a resolution as you can manage.

While this does make unpacking it somewhat unwieldy (I was just about able to do it on my own - but those with shorter arms might want to plan to ask for help moving it into position.) Once it was set up though I ended up being very much on board with this. The stand is highly adjustable, with the only feature missing being the ability to rotate it (which, truthfully, probably wouldn't be practical anyway given the size of the panel.) And with the OLED taking up less space LG's managed to find space for some astonishingly decent speakers firing directly through the display rather than beneath it, making it the first monitor where I feel you could actually forgo a soundbar or external speaker setup entirely and just use the built-in audio.As far as performance goes... well, it probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone that the image is gorgeous. I can't say it's the best looking OLED I've ever seen. Black levels are fantastic as you'd expect but colors don't quite reach the same vibrancy you might get from a phone or TV - something I attribute almost entirely to the matte screen coating. But it'll still handily beat the vast majority of LCDs, and frankly I think most will be fine accepting a little less color saturation if it means not having to deal with constant reflections and glare. And when running at its full resolution you don't notice a common complaint with OLEDs where the pentile pixel arrangement causes the edges of text to look blurred, making it ideal for daily use as well as gaming.When you do get into gaming though, the monitor shines. Frankly even at 240hz everything feels ridiculously smooth, but when switched over to 480hz mode it's almost unreal. If you're regularly playing competitive shooters or racing games this is definitely one of those features where once you've gotten a taste of it you'll probably never be able to go back. It's not entirely without cost - switching to 480hz does require you to drop down to FHD resolution and on a panel this big you'll be able to see every pixel once you do. And even at FHD, pushing close to 500 frames per second on modern games is going to take a pretty beefy GPU. But even if you can only get part of the way I imagine a lot of people would consider it to be worth it, particularly with variable framerate support eliminating the risk of tearing. And if you just can't bear to drop down to a quarter of the panel's native resolution, you'll find that even the relatively "slow" 240hz mode is plenty twitchy.Assuming you've got the desk space and the budget for it, this is an easy recommendation for pretty much any gamer.

Buy it now if money is no object- A+ monitor!

Although it is pricey, if you can get a good deal on it I would definitely recommend it. Don’t worry about the matte finish complainers. When you see this thing in person you’ll be amazed. Yeh maybe the glossy finish of course will be more crisp but honestly coming from someone who’s tried out the AW3225qf and the LG C3 42in, it’s not drastically so different. It still pops and looks sharp and incredible. Honestly I can’t tell the different. Maybe if I had them side by side maybe but otherwise, using this monitor on day to day for games and productivity-I do not miss having a QC-oled glossy. However one thing I would say is that its price does need to be under $1000 or at least under $1100 for me to say YES BUY IT. $1400 is just greedy status at that point. I mean ... MoreAlthough it is pricey, if you can get a good deal on it I would definitely recommend it. Don’t worry about the matte finish complainers.

I mean yeah the dual mode and I guess maybe they’re marketing it at that segment who wants that I guess. But if they really wanna sell a ton of these put this baby down to below 1100 $1050 the sweet spot and you got a banger. In some ways it’s better than the QD-oleds especially if your setup you’re light controlled. I like the window being behind my desk and that would probably destroy my experience with the glare but on this bad boy just with a little curtain I have no issues with the bright window behind me (directly in front of the screen)-Dual mode works flawless-very low input lag-deep deep oled black-very nice speakers (I sold me old pc speakers don’t need them anymore with the sound from this bad boy-if I want more immersive sound just pop on my headphones)All in all if money is no object yes get it otherwise, wait for it to go down prob around under 1100 it’s a no brainer. Otherwise stick to your AW3423DWF (I’m prob going back to-just can’t see myself spending $1500 on monitor yet)

Easily the Best 4K Gaming Monitor

I was looking to make the switch from a 27" UltraGear IPS monitor, 4k 144hz, and so I decided to get this 32" OLED 4k 240hz. The difference between them is as clear as night and day.I think the biggest concern people have is around the matte coating. Let me reassure you that this isn't like a matte IPS coating from my previous monitor; this is still a vibrant and colourful display. None of the advantages of OLED are lost because of this coating, and in turn you can use this monitor in a lighter room without reflections and therefore makes it easier to focus on what you're playing.Likewise, the WOLED panel means the blacks are always perfect in any light, without the raised black levels on QD-OLED panels. Given perfect blacks are the selling point of OLED, I ... MoreI was looking to make the switch from a 27" UltraGear IPS monitor, 4k 144hz, and so I decided to get this 32" OLED 4k 240hz.

Given perfect blacks are the selling point of OLED, I think WOLED is the best way to protect this. As to be expected, the blacks on this monitor are stunning and perfect, everything from Windows 11 in dark mode, all the way to HDR gaming, is improved.The 32" screen size took a few days to get used to, I have quite a small desk, but now that i'm used to it, I can immerse myself properly in games and display more content and workflow during productivity.If you're worried about getting this monitor because of WOLED or matte (like I was) please don't be. If you give this monitor a chance, I can almost guarantee you'll love it in person.

Great monitor but a bit too expensive.

Oled is quite amazing, honestly you really have to experience to really understand what youre missing out on. As far into the future as I can see, I will only be buying oled monitors/tvs as long as my budget will allow me to. This monitor was a joy to use and I really did feel a bit of pain when I decided to return it. The problem with it is the price. All competing qd-oled monitors are cheaper and in my opionion provide a more pleasant looking image (this monitor still blows any LCD out of the water though). I did notice this monitor does look a bit washed out with high hdr brightness and dark scenes did lose more detail than I would hope. This does have excellent text clarity and didnt notice any issues like I have with a 1440p qd-oled but that could just be down ... MoreOled is quite amazing, honestly you really have to experience to really understand what youre missing out on.

This does have excellent text clarity and didnt notice any issues like I have with a 1440p qd-oled but that could just be down to the vastly higher pixel density on this display. Matte coating on the screen is fine, I do prefer glossy but this is accetable and may be preferred if you would be using this is a bright room. The 480hz mode is not very usable in my opinion. I may just not be as competitive player as I use to be but I didnt find myself switching over to it very much. I tried it in Overwatch and just couldnt get over the pixelated look of everything. It definitely looks very smooth and almost life like but honestly the jump from 240 to 480 on an oled doesnt provide the level of improvement to warrant the massive drop in resolution imo. I personally would wait for the 480hz 1440p LG woled monitor thats suppose to release within the next couple of months if youre really interested in the best motion fluidity and which should be sold at a cheaper price. If this monitor was a $1000 I feel like it might just be a no brainer for people looking for a monitor that can kinda just do it all. I do feel like a $1000 4k qd-oled might be a bit nicer for people only looking to use it in 4k 240hz mode but I have yet to use one of those.

Great monitor with a few problems

I bought this monitor 8 days ago, and it's nearly perfect for me. I say "nearly" because I have a few minor complaints.Let me start by listing the things I like before addressing the complaints at the end. First, the build quality is impressive. Despite the plastic housing, it feels solid, doesn’t creak, and swivels very easily. HDR content looks excellent on this monitor, and text clarity is great as expected since it doesn’t suffer from the color fringing that QD-OLED panels often have, and it offers very good viewing angles. The color gamut in both SDR and HDR is solid, which is nice, but for the price, I would have appreciated a tailored ICC profile for each monitor. It could improve the experience even further.Another small complaint is that, given the ... MoreI bought this monitor 8 days ago, and it's nearly perfect for me.

It could improve the experience even further.Another small complaint is that, given the price, I would have preferred a DisplayPort 2.0 instead of 1.4, which requires DSC to achieve 240Hz at 4K. However, this is just a minor issue since DSC isn't a deal breaker.Regarding sound, I liked the addition of decent built-in speakers, and the 3.5mm combo audio/mic jack is a nice touch. However, I wish there were a way to calibrate the audio on the monitor itself, such as an EQ menu in the OSD.Lastly, VRR flicker is noticeable in darker scenes, which is very common for OLED monitors with VRR. However, it’s not an issue in brighter scenes and I feel others will agree. If the flicker becomes distracting, you can always turn VRR off.

Nearly Perfect yet Flawed

Good display, I would rate it 5-Stars if it didn't have these issues:The 32GS95UE-B has macro blocking-like issues on streaming content, the display exhibits severe macroblocking (blocky, unstable colors) when watching streaming content. I have tested the same content on another display, and the artifacts are not present, indicating it has something to do with the display. It might be related to the posterization issue outlined below.It appears the display has no dithering, but not entirely sure, some gradients look great at 8,10,12-bit but sometimes it's awful posterization. There should not be dithering issues at 10 and 12-bit, but it does. I haven't had a display with dithering issues in probably the last 15 years.I do wish that highlights in HDR were more ... MoreGood display, I would rate it 5-Stars if it didn't have these issues:The 32GS95UE-B has macro blocking-like issues on streaming content, the display exhibits severe macroblocking (blocky, unstable colors) when watching streaming content.

I haven't had a display with dithering issues in probably the last 15 years.I do wish that highlights in HDR were more detailed, even though it does reach the 1300 nit peak brightness, with the current firmware it seems to clip at 590 nits in Windows HDR Calibration, it is decent, but there is more to be desired here. So it is impossible to have a good HDR calibration at this time.If you disable DSC, the display is limited to 120Hz, but you can tweak the EDID with CRU to have a higher Max luminance, I've tested up to 1300 Nits, which makes it calibrate accurately in Windows HDR Calibration, and it looks fantastic.Aside from the two issues major annoyances and a moderate HDR issues, the 32GS95UE-B is a fantastic display. It is very low latency and offers a wide range of refresh-rates. It has very low motion blur, it's unperceivable IMO. It gets very close to excellence on black level tests.Suggestions: LG should prioritize fixing the macroblocking/posterization issue. Improve the Max luminance in the firmware. Improve EOTF tracking (yes this has already been improved a little with the latest firmware, but it can still be better). LG should also add the ability to turn off CPC in the settings menu, we have enough screen saving features to decide what we prefer as users / customers.

Remarkable Monitor

Let me start by saying, this is by far the nicest monitor I have ever used in my life. It is extremely expensive for a 32" non curved monitor but everything about this monitor is impressive.The build quality and construction of this monitor is everything you would except from a monitor at this price. LG did an incredible job with it. The monitor is sleek, the base is sleek, the range of motion and tilt of the monitor is sleek. I also love how you can rotate the orientation of the monitor for either veritcle or horizontal use.The screen visuals of this is insane. Since it is an OLED screen it is incredibly well lit and bright. It's beyond impressive and it feels like everything on my monitor is popping out at me with perfect optimization.

I have used a MacBook on this monitor for work and a PC to play games. This is a bit expensive just to use for work purposes but after using this for work the last few days, I do not think I can ever go back to a non OLED monitor...thank you LG, you have ruined me (for the better). Gaming on this thing is nuts...writing how beautiful gameplay is on this thing isn't possible. It needs to be viewed for yourself. The response time with the monitor is brilliantly quick (240Hz at .03MS....wild). The sound is wonderful from the monitor as well.I really cannot say more good things about this monitor. If you have the money and need a really beautiful monitor for gaming, work, etc, this is an investment and a worthy one at that. I not only highly recommend it to people but I am a firm believer that this is one of the best monitors on the market.
