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 ...

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 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.

This LG UltraGear monitor is all about flexibility. At 32-inches, it's a little larger than the iMac desktop I use daily, but it can still easily be paired (adapter required on the Mac side for USB-C to HDMI) to extend the display, enhancing productivity bi-fold. You can also adjust the height of the display which is nice because my iMac is elevated for standing usage. I can also easily pair my MacBook to it, but this introduces one of the cons, which is a lack of switching functionality.The monitor itself is very clean with nearly edge-to-edge display and no noticeable chin. Branding is not very prevalent, although it is present. But this minimalistic approach makes this display work well for both work and play, even with the RBG lighting.Adding to the ...

But this minimalistic approach makes this display work well for both work and play, even with the RBG lighting.Adding to the flexibility of this display are the ports: you have 2 HDMIs. So in theory, I could run my Apple TV to this display and have a "TV" in the office; however, another con is the lack of support for picture-in-a-picture. Technically, if you're using the Mac [macOS] natively, many video apps and sites support this functionality natively so you may even be better not using the Apple TV in this use case. You also have an upstream and downstream USB port, although they are of the A/B variety and the lack of USB-C at this point is a little surprising and a questionable omission.The menu system is easy enough to navigate and there's an OLED image cleaning screensaver to help prevent image retention.The OLED technology and resulting image quality is on true display here. Colors pop and blacks are as deep as they are rich. You can argue for or against the anti-glare/non-glossy display, although it's a little bit of an adjustment when your other devices are all glossy displays. It should also be noted that the display was well-calibrated out of the box and there is a toggle button for the dual mode functionality although you loose quite a bit of resolution to boost the refresh rate and for the type of games I play, this trade-off was not worth it IMO.The speakers are probably the worst thing about this display. Having an above-average sound system built into my desktop, these were simply just not up to par, even with toggling the presets (game, entertainment, sports and off). I guess the good news here, is that there is an included headphone jack so you could always go headset or external speakers, but for a monitor clearly marketed towards gamers, another questionable choice. There's also no webcam, which would've been nice to make this more of a work and play display.In summary, you get a lot of flexibility with this display due to its expansive I/O offerings, refresh rate mode toggling and height adjustability; however, there are some clear omissions and trade-offs like a lackluster sound system, lack of USB-C and webcam, lack of switching capability and lack of picture-in-a-picture support. It's still a solid monitor for everyday usage and media and the picture quality and clean aesthetic make it easy to recommend.

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 ...

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.

This monitor is pretty amazing and has the most vivid colors and deepest of black you can have on a monitor based on my experience so far. For gaming, many games really pop even more on this monitor due to the quality of the picture where the deep blacks and no bleeding make everything feel like there's more depth in the image. It's really hard to describe but it's almost like having a 3D display in certain instances without the glasses, it's really quite good.Out of the box, it's super simple to setup and you get full adjustability in this monitor's stand allowing you to orient it horizontal or vertical. It even has tilt so you can dial it in just right. In terms of how this thing looks, it's great with a minimal bezel (but enough to put a web cam and light bar ...

It even has tilt so you can dial it in just right. In terms of how this thing looks, it's great with a minimal bezel (but enough to put a web cam and light bar on without interfering with the display as I did). The cable management is great and hides the cords while not restricting movement should you reorient the display (provided you have long enough cables). In the box cables are included, HDMI, display port and USB but they were all standard length and may be short depending on your setup and is something I wish LG would have considered. Larger displays like this tend to take up more room so if your tower or dock is near the monitor (or under your desk near the monitor) the included cables will be just right, otherwise they will be short. If you have an adjustable height desk and your tower is on the floor and your desk moves up to 48", you will most definitely want to get longer cables if you don't have them. On the bright side it does make cable management easy because there's not a bunch of excess to hide but it's something to note if your setup requires longer than standard cables. The monitor does NOT have a built-in power supply so there is a fairly large brick you have to hide under your desk. This monitor has a built-in USB hub so you can connect your keyboard/mouse to it rather than your tower or dock to help with cable management so there's some tradeoffs.It has built-in speakers which frankly are very much welcomed though not loud but perfect if you want sound outside of your normal sound system for causal entertainment, video calls or system sounds. They are decent and surprisingly good for built-in speakers but don't expect them to replace a good sound bar or desktop speaker with sub.Setup out of the box to tweak the image was easy and I found that all of the preset color modes fit my needs but there's an ability to calibrate this display and tweak it your way. The on screen display navigation isn't too hard once you get the hang of it but like with most monitors you can set it and forget it for the most part. This monitor has an AWESOME dual mode which will let you run it at 480hz at the press of a button so that you can go right in to FPS games with the top refresh rate, and paired with a high-end graphics card you would have a serious edge with this hardware. That said, even aside, the 240hz just by default is great for most games and makes everything snappy and buttery smooth.The only thing that took me a few days to get used to is this display felt like it had a slight curve jumping toward you but I think that was just me adjusting from my old display and now a few days in I don't even notice that any more and notice how much better this displays image is than every other display in the house except my Sony OLED TV and I'd definitely say this has a sharp vivid image on par with that except it's on my gaming computer at my desk.I'd definitely recommend this display and if you see it jump on sale, I'd say go for it, you won't be disappointed, it's a huge upgrade over a normal high refresh rate LCD display!
The LG UltraGear 32" OLED gaming monitor is an absolutely amazing gaming monitor, with great performance and great picture quality, this monitor fully delivers on everything you would want from a gaming monitor. This monitor is G-Sync and FreeSync compatible meaning whichever popular graphics card you have you will have a seamless gaming experience.The Dual Mode allows you to switch between 4K (3840 x 2160) 240Hz and 1080p (1920 x 1080) 480Hz. This allows you to choose between better FPS for more competitive games or a more immersive experience for other games or media. You can quickly and easily switch between the modes with a switch located on the bottom of the screen, there is also an option to change the screen size from the full 32" down to either 27" or 24" ...

You can quickly and easily switch between the modes with a switch located on the bottom of the screen, there is also an option to change the screen size from the full 32" down to either 27" or 24" to get even better performance while in 1080p mode.Speaking of the menu options, you have the full complement of options that you would expect from a gaming monitor; FPS counter, crosshair, etc. My only complaint with the menu is the physical location of the menu button is on the bottom and behind the monitor making it difficult to have anything located directly under the monitor if you need to access the menu frequently. I typically have my center speaker directly under the monitor and had to move it slightly behind so that I could access the menu button of the monitor.The OLED display is absolutely stunning, I have seen many reviews and videos about how much nicer OLED looks compared to an IPS or LED monitor and you really can't appreciate the difference in picture quality until you actually use it. I have an older version of an LG UltraGear that I use as a second monitor and the difference between the two displays is astounding, the LG UltraGear OLED monitor is the best looking and best performing monitor I have ever used. I will be getting a second to add as my second monitor because it is just that good looking.I would absolutely recommend this display to anyone that is looking for a gaming or productivity monitor.

The blacks on the boot screen itself highlight the contrast, and the deep blacks.By default its in the 4k, 240hz mode, and that's the best one for all your normal activities on the computer. There is a shortcut button, at the bottom edge, just left of center, that flips it to the 1080p 480hz mode. At this screen size 1080p looks horrible, so it should only be used in situations like playing esports or fps games where that extra (double) refresh rate would actually matter. But, atleast you can quickly flip back and forth with a simple button.The backlight looks sweet and you have options to choose a few colors, or let it cycle through a band of colors. The speakers are better than they have any right to be on a monitor, even at a volume of 30 they sound about as loud as my old ASUS at full volume, and as clear as a backfiring speaker would be.But as we have stated again and again in this review already, the star of the show is the screen, in a dimly lit room, while watching high res content, or playing a single player game with great graphics, the image just oozes out. OLEDs truly deliver the best of all worlds, the color accuracy, the contrast, the response times.On its merits its a definite recommend, but you have to think about whether you need the dual mode.
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 ...

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.
I am currently driving this monitor with a RTX3080 and paired it with an older Dell 34" (SLIGHTLY curved) monitor (which is that has the same UWQHD (3440x1440) resolution. So jumping from desktop to desktop from screen to screen is not jarring. The Dell is an matte IPS screen was color accurate out of the box and has an antiglare coating although it wasn't super effective where I have it placed in front of my South facing window mid morning/day. Directly comparing the UltraGear to the Dell, the Curve is much more significant and almost feels like it wrapping around my eyeballs. Colors are extremely vibrant with great blacks on the OLED.Playing games like Forza 5; which looked good on my Dell, looked amazing on the UltraGear. I will usually have the game on the ...

The Dell is an matte IPS screen was color accurate out of the box and has an antiglare coating although it wasn't super effective where I have it placed in front of my South facing window mid morning/day. Directly comparing the UltraGear to the Dell, the Curve is much more significant and almost feels like it wrapping around my eyeballs. Colors are extremely vibrant with great blacks on the OLED.Playing games like Forza 5; which looked good on my Dell, looked amazing on the UltraGear. I will usually have the game on the UltraGear and my phone/email apps on my Dell. While I was not getting 240hz refresh on the UltraGear I was floating around 166hz which is noticeable over the 60hz refresh on the Dell. Games such as Red Dead Redemption are locked to 60hz so not much of a difference there, but the colors in the scenery are more vibrant than that of the Dell.The color and lighting on my UltraGear is uniform and have no stuck pixels. I'm not sure if it's due to the 800R curvature of the screen or better antiglare coating, but seems better at cutting glare than my dell. Side by side midday with the sun blasting through my shades there I see nothing on the UltraGear vs diffused light and shadow on my Dell. Definitely a plus for the LG. The stand is also sturdy and keeps my monitor stable when my desk is bumped or jarred. A lot of height adjustment and decent side to side adjustment for a monitor this curved. Can even slightly tilt the monitor (although I don't know why... tilted desk?).The single control stick behind the bottom portion of the center of the screen is a touch tricky to find at first, but I got used to the position is simple enough to figure out and use. I initially thought the UltraGear had speakers and couldn't figure out how to get sound out of it, but then realized the volume was ONLY for plugging in WIRED headphones. Took my a little while to figure that out. Along trying to figure that, I don't know if there is supposed to be lighting on the back of the sceen. Not that it's that important to me as I will never look at the back of the screen, but I still don't know if that is something this monitor is supposed to be able to do.I would've liked to see USB C video on the UltraGear, especially at this price point, but I am more than able to use the connections it has so its not much of an issue.Aside from a few gripes I mentioned above I do really enjoy using this monitor and am very happy with it. I wouldn't have any problems recommending it as long as someone was willing to spend this kind of money on a screen.
This monitor is pretty amazing and is probably overkill for the type of games I play. But it's also a great monitor for work, or even just watching tv (with a streaming device). The LG UltraGrear has all aspects covered and I couldn't be happier.Setup was pretty simple, but I would recommend having two people to do this as the monitor is a little heavy and I was worried I would drop it. The stand is pretty sweet as well, easy to adjust up or down and even rotate to a vertical screen.The screen itself has two HDMI ports, displayport, and two USB spots. Since it has so many different options you can easily connect a Roku/AppleTV/Firestick/ETC, along with your PC without having to shuffle cables around. The monitor does have built in speakers that sound pretty good ... MoreThis monitor is pretty amazing and is probably overkill for the type of games I play.

Since it has so many different options you can easily connect a Roku/AppleTV/Firestick/ETC, along with your PC without having to shuffle cables around. The monitor does have built in speakers that sound pretty good for built in ones, but I wouldn't say they are optimized for gaming. Watching TV, they worked totally fine.I have this connected to an Acer Predator Helios Neo with a GeForce RTX 4060. The computer recognized the monitor right away. I had to manually go in and turn on HDR and mess with a few other settings. Once everything was setup I was blown away by how crisp and clear everything looked. I watched a few videos in 4k just to test and they were stunning and felt very lifelike.I tried a couple of games and even though the screen was perfect, my computer couldn't fully keep up with the demanding graphics. IThis is why it is probably overkill for my use until I get a better gaming computer. However the response time was quick, I never noticed any blurring or any other issues like I have had with just basic monitors. Since it is compatible with Nividia G-SYNC, I didn't notice any tearing or stuttering. With a good quality monitor, it makes gaming a lot more fun and realistic.I plan to use this not only with my PC but with my XBox series x and other gaming systems. If it was bigger I would even consider using it as my everyday TV just because of how stunning everything looks, but it's a little too small for my Livingroom.Overall if you want a great monitor that can be used for gaming, work, or streaming tv this one is perfect. I feel like it's an all in one that anyone could use daily and be super happy with.
The LG UltraGear 32” Dual-Mode is the first OLED 4K monitor I own, and the first LG brand monitor (or TV for that matter) ever. I never really cared too much about LG products, but the specs for the LG UltraGear seemed enticing. So far so good, I think the colors are great, response times phenomenal, refresh rate vs. resolution very good. Overall, besides having to adjust from a 34-inch-wide curved monitor to this 32-inch one, I’d say that I find this to be a solid monitor for gaming, design, media consumption, and for everyday use as well. In fact, I’ve been using it for everyday use for the past several days, and well of course, for gaming on my spare time.This is not a smart monitor, just in case you’d thought you’d bought one. There are LG apps that you can ... MoreThe LG UltraGear 32” Dual-Mode is the first OLED 4K monitor I own, and the first LG brand monitor (or TV for that matter) ever.

In fact, I’ve been using it for everyday use for the past several days, and well of course, for gaming on my spare time.This is not a smart monitor, just in case you’d thought you’d bought one. There are LG apps that you can install to access settings and content associated with this device, which I guess is a plus. I wish it came with a remote control, though, to make it easier to configure the different settings. It has the App to Control some of the settings, but if you need to change the input to some other device (I own a few desktops and laptops) then you’d need to reach to the back side of the monitor for the Settings Button with a not so intuitive interface.There are a few things that could be improved on this monitor, and although I was initially giving it a 4 rating, perhaps a 5 would be more just.- Pros: OLED, 4K, vivid colors, high refresh rate.- Cons: no USB-C connector, heavy.>> Setup <<Nothing out of the ordinary to assembly the monitor, you can follow the Quick Setup Guide as I did to make sure all is in place. Upon connecting it to my Windows Gaming Machine, all was autodetected fine. I downloaded a couple of LG Apps and then I was ready to go.Something to note is that there is not really any mention of where the Settings button is for this device (the button that allows accessing the different options in the monitor itself, not Windows.) There is a small reference of what looks like some button in the Quick Setup Guide, but nothing else. At the end I was able to find it, the said button is at the back of the monitor main panel, in the bottom middle area, push once and you’ll get a menu to configure the monitor, including which video Input to select. Since this monitor doesn’t have a remote, I assume because it is not a smart monitor, having easy access to the configuration is very important, and this device falls a little short on that.>> G-Sync Compatibility <<I own a gaming PC hosting an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card (yeah a little old for what an “avid” gamer would have), so this G-Sync compatible device seemed like a good match for my gaming adventures, that is why I decided to grab one.I used both, HDMI and DP cables to connect the monitor to my PC, and when playing games, I’d say the results when using either cable felt about the same. Also, using the NVIDIA G-Sync pendulum demo Application showed no difference I could notice in video enhancement using either cable.Now, using the NVIDIA App or the NVDIA Control Panel shows the monitor as not being “validated as G-SYNC Compatible” when connecting it through the HDMI cable. If I connected the monitor using the DP cable, both Apps would show the monitor as being “G-SYNC Compatible.” Why this discrepancy? Well, going to the support site https://www.lg.com/us/support/contact, I could find the answer: “Ensure that your monitor is connected via DisplayPort, as G-SYNC typically requires this connection type.” As a result, I decided to have it connected through DP to my gaming PC.>> Dual mode <<You can read references about Dual- mode support for this monitor everywhere, i.e. 4K at 240Hz and FHD at 480Hz settings. But you need to go to the web, or tinker with the different buttons you discover on the monitor, to learn that to switch from 4K with a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz to a 480Hz refresh rate in FHD mode and vice versa. The button to access Dual-mode is located just a little to the left of the center at the bottom edge of the monitor. Not even the Quick setup guide mentions this button (well the guide also barely shows the location of the Settings button.)You can also access the FHD at 480 Hz mode by pressing the Settings Button to access the Monitor Configuration menu, then going to “Game Adjust”, then “Dual Mode” and next “On (Full Wide)”. This is not something very intuitive.I have one picture showing the Dual-mode settings in the NVIDIA App.In terms of which modes are preferred. I played Forza in FHD-480Hz and 4K-240Hz and I should say that I have fun and enjoyed the scenery in both modes. FHD at 480Hz was, of course after having configured Forza to use 480Hz video, one awesome experience, details looked great, motion felt very realistic, something I had fun with. It could be that one mode or the other works better for one game or another, and I really like the fact that this monitor allows a wide range of options for different games, very versatile in the video arena.>> Software <<I am not keen on installing extra/additional software to what I already have and need, especially for monitors, but it turns out LG has a couple of very useful apps that can let you take advantage of the monitor.One is the OnScreen Control App, which initially I was very reluctant to install, but after using it for some time, I see it can be very useful. There are predefined profiles or modes (well you can customize the default settings). For example, there is one Gaming mode for FPS that comes in handy if you need to play games without needing to customize the settings each time. There is another General Mode called “Reader” which I find extremely useful whenever I need to review documents since the screen configures itself to be easy on my eyes. Again, I was ready to discount the LG software, and I only installed it in the spirit of reviewing it, but I see myself resorting on the OnScreen Control App to more frequently, specially to change from gaming to reading mode. Very useful indeed.There is another Calibration App, for which you need the USB-A cable to connect to the computer to be able to calibrate the colors in this monitor. If you are eager to tweak with the colors and such, well get the money to buy a good sensor and have this device calibrated the way you want. I haven’t tried this App as it looks like it is for more advanced users than what I am (full time designers.)
