LG 32GK650F-B UntraGear Gaming Monitor 32" QHD (2560 x 1440) Display, 144Hz Refresh Rate, Radeon FreeSync Technology, Virtually Borderless Design - Black

The first monitor that was shipped out to me had a single, teeny, tiny dead pixel right dead center in the screen. I was devastated by this first world problem and immediately got on the amazon chat service. They were able to ship out a new monitor and I was able to keep the current one while it arrived. This was ideal since I had sold my previous monitor to help cover the costs for this one and would have been without a PC for several days. The second monitor arrived with no defects in all the original packaging, but curiously the box was labeled as "Returned: did not want" and I assume a different customer returned the item at their door. I was otherwise blown away by how nice the monitor looked. Stepping up from 1080p 144hz to 1440p 144hz was certainly nice, and switching from TN to VA panel technology meant that all the content on the monitor has an incredible contrast that wasn't there before. With just a few simple tweaks (without even using calibration software) you can get the monitor to near-IPS color levels, certainly significantly better than TN. My current settings are: 6500k color temp, 144hz, freesync on, 1ms motion blur off, 40 black stabilizer, and fast response time. Picture settings are 70 contrast, 70 sharpness and with gamma on mode 2. My other main concern was brightness. My eyes aren't sensitive to light at all and generally I turn every display I own to max brightness. 350 nits is a sweet spot for me as it's the same brightness level as my previous monitor, but this metric can be relative and they might only be advertising the peak brightness. All in all, this is a good monitor that I think is a great step between content monitor and gaming monitor that brings the best of both worlds, but not necessarily the best at both. However, for this price point, you're unlikely to beat the size and refresh rate with it's actual best, most amazing feature: it's a flat panel, not a curve! Thanks LG

Let me open up this review by saying, yes, you should get this. It's good. I like it. I don't regret my purchase in any way whatsoever and you probably won't either. I'm now going to complain because something this good shouldn't 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 it's 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 there's an extended compatibility mode that is intended to make it work with G-Sync if you monkey with your drivers a little. That isn't as consistently reliable as I wish it were, but once you get it going it's mostly fine. It urgently wants to go into sleep mode if there's no signal. This isn't 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 doesn't boot like lightning the monitor will assume there's no signal and switch back. It's really only annoying if you want to get into the second machine's setup mode or EFI menu. The back of the monitor is not flat. It's 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. There's still a small plastic clip in one of the parts bags that I have no idea whatsoever what it's for. It's shown on the parts diagram with no description and I've probably spent a good hour trying to puzzle out where it's supposed to go. Maybe one day I'll figure it out but until then the little clips sit in a drawer. Here's my big one, though, and I'd almost call this half a star off the review if I didn't 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 wouldn't really be a problem for anyone who doesn't 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, it's still a great monitor and I'm super happy with these things. No regrets. Despite the fact that 80% of this review consists of complaining, all the things I didn't talk about are fantastic. Picture's great. Price is terrific. Easy to put together. Doesn't take up a ton of space. Has a bit of cable management in the back for multiple inputs and it's pretty easy to reach back there and blindly mess with plugs if you have to. Power cord is acceptably long. It'll actually show a scaled picture if sent a 4K signal, although by default it will complain that you're in the wrong resolution. I dumped the EDID and it's pretty accurate; it's not faking that it's 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. It's 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 stand's feet. So, yeah, buy 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 don't 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 doesn't 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). It's one of the best priced 32" 2560 x 1440 monitors on the market that I've seen and they don't really seem to cut any corners to get it there. My only gripe with the monitor is the stand is not my favorite. I'm 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.

I gave it four stars and not five because honestly I'm a little insecure given some of the other reviews I read about it. I mean, those other review make me think that maybe I'm ignorant about what exactly a monitor is supposed to do or that maybe like being able to pick certain notes of vanilla and oak from a fine wine.. my eyes just don't see the subtleties. For me, this monitor is perfect. I am so happy that I wish I had the budget for two. I got this monitor after returning a Samsung 32" UJ590. Which had a resolution of 3840x2160 @ 60hz. That turned out to be a just too much strain on my graphics card.. but I wanted the larger size monitor. Now what I use it for is typical work station type surfing the net and office tasks and to play World of Warcraft. Again.. perfect for what I do. I love it. the 144hz is amazing. 1440p is a perfect resolution for size and function. The image is very crisp. I will say though after doing some research you may need to adjust some settings depending on your graphics card. I.e. I found that having response time set to fastest does not always provide the best result. And may had been why I was not satisfied with my Samsung. So, it may be a little frustrating to set up. Or depending on what you are coming from may change how you view how this monitor displays. The monitors I have before my short stint with the 32" Samsung are a 24" and a 27" 1080p monitors at 60hz. So this is definitely a clear upgrade. And with a good video card able to push over 100 frames at 1440p (2k). So it's clearly an upgrade for me and I am unable to see what the negatives and little nuances that might lead someone to give this monitor a negative review.

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.

I have owned and used this monitor for 3 months. I figure that’s enough time to break it in and write a review. I must say I’m very pleased. It arrived with absolutely no defects. Setup was quick and simple. Connected it to my gaming PC using the provided display port cable. My PC auto adjust and the display was set to 144Hz. I’ve had no issues. It took a bit of tinkering to get the settings on the monitor itself to my liking, but it’s all personal preference at that point. PS5 connectivity: This monitor blows me away with displaying a PS5 image. Upon connecting it with the included HDMI cable that came with the PS5 I tab to the system settings only to realize that the resolution automatically selected is 4K (3840x2160). The monitor itself downscales the 4K image to its native 1440p resolution without any sort of trickery done by the user. The image quality is amazing, colorful and super smooth for the PS5. Apparently some monitors on the monitor are capable of this for the PS5, but not all. 1440p is what a lot of Sony users want, so I was thrilled this monitor makes it happen. 100% Thrilled with all avenues of this display. For $300 you can not go wrong!

I recently replaced my 15 year old computer with a new gaming rig. Obviously it doesn't make much sense to invest in a high-end PC only to get bottlenecked by my old 1080p 60 MHz monitor, so I went looking for alternatives. After doing some research, 4K monitors seemed excessively expensive. I'm intrigued by ultrawides, but they're also pretty pricey. 1440p monitors are great values right now, however. At this price point, I'm very comfortable picking up a good 2K monitor that will hold down the fort for a few years until 4K and/or ultrawide prices come down to earth. I'm positive that one of my college-aged kids will take this off my hands when I decide to replace it. This monitor is huge compared to the 24" screen that it replaced. The picture quality is great, and it handles triple digit frame rates with no problem. I'm definitely satisfied. The only tiny complaint I have is that the DP cable that comes packaged with the monitor is very short. That doesn't matter much to me since I have my rig sitting on my desk right beside the monitor anyway, but you'll probably need to buy another cable if you put your computer under your desk.

I am comparing this product to the VIOTEK GN32DB as I've had both and they are direct competitors. I consider this product better for most people, as it renders text clearer, has more accurate colors, and ultimately is a more well rounded product. That being said, I personally enjoyed using the VIOTEK monitor more, as it has a saturation option that allows you to blast colors into your face and this LG monitor does not. The build quality is excellent, as I've found with most LG monitors I've purchased. The cables are managed properly and aren't a pain to plug in. The stand spreads far across the desk, but has no wobble. The stand is also very versatile, with pivot, tilt, height, etc. Excellent build. Some people won't like that the power brick is external- I don't really mind. Picture quality is superb. Colors are great, though might need some tweaking. This monitor offers two "butter smooth gameplay" options in the form of Freesync, which sacrifices GTG response time, and 1ms motion which reduces color quality in exchange for greatly decreasing ghosting and overall making this look and feel like a low latency TN panel. I enjoy having both of these options because you can switch between them - I'd use 1ms for CS:GO and Freesync for something like Witcher 3. These two options cannot be enabled at the same time, but given the types of games they are geared for, I think having these options available are wonderful. As measured by Hardware Unboxed - this monitor is the *only* 32 inch VA panel that he's tested that can keep up with 144hz refresh rate as far as response time goes - measured at 6.5ms (versus most other's ~8.5ms) - I could not personally tell the difference between this and the VIOTEK but it still gains props for being the fastest. Colors are good, contrast was very good and text was reasonably clear. Do note that you are essentially buying a TV- this thing is rather large- however it works well as a monitor particularly for gaming. If you're planning on sitting close to it, however, I'd definitely recommend going for a 27'' 1440p panel instead as text clarity does suffer. This worked well for me based on my sitting distance, but it may not work for a large amount of desk setups. Overall, this is the monitor I'd recommend anyone looking for a larger form factor gaming monitor should get on a budget. It's effectively flawless - where the only gripes I have with it are personal preference and absolutely not normal preferences for anyone to have. LG has done a great job here, and I appreciate how they are bringing their fantastic technology to the budget gaming sector.

El monitor me llegó antes de lo esperado aún siendo de importación, lo pedí el domingo y llegó hoy Jueves 05/11/20, tenía miedo por esas reseñas donde les llegaron sus monitores con pixeles muertos u otros defectos pero hasta el momento creo que tuve suerte, el monitor funciona a la perfección, vengo de uno 23" 1080p y el cambio es impresionante, la verdad es un buen producto tomando en cuenta el precio y calidad, actualizaré la reseña en caso de que me llegue a dar algún problema en el futuro que espero no sea el caso.

I recently bought an AOC CQ32G1 31.5 curved screen and had a really bad experience , extreme back-light bleed and a red taint in the colors which was impossible to buffer in color setting. Being my first curved experience omitting the problems of the screen , i didn't like the curved for that size and screen ratio (it does make sens on a ultra-wide 21:9 aspect thought ). So i decide to add a little more money and go with this LG screen... and I'm really happy about it! Pros :- No back light bleed, no dead pixels and no weird color taint. -rich colors and deep blacks - flawless free-sync /g sync compatibility - 144hz and flawless gaming experience - Monitor menu is easy to browse and have a tons of features -No curve -Design and build look good, good quality and fully adjustable(high, tilt , rotation) Cons :- None so far. -Hdr? hdr screen are more expensive and start to be good when reaching 600 to 1000 nits and screen with these specs cost twice as much. Best screen of its category!! Highly recommended !

Does a pretty good job, especially in the given price range. Gets 144Hz on 2K resolution with the given DP (DisplayPort) cable inside the box. Great for gaming. If you're a competitive gamer, you'd notice the improvement in display frequency (Hz), but wouldn't be a noticeable difference if you're more of a casual user. Note - - If you're like me, who is downgrading from a 4K resolution, it might take a couple of days to get used to it. The font would looks slightly blurry, especially compared to a 4K one. But after a few days of getting used to it, you'd find it perfect for regular usage, work, reading and gaming. - Monitor is pretty heavy, and the edges are very thin. Doesn't have a huge bezel which is great for viewing, but also requires a bit of care while handling it, during moving or adjusting the monitor screen etc. - You might want to have a slightly larger table/desk, and best to view it from at least 2 feet away or slightly more (about a full-arm's length), since 32-inches is large in size. Height adjustment, rotation and swirl is pretty helpful. With multiple benefits like large screen, good adjustments, high refresh-rate and nice colour representation (customisable), would definitely recommend this monitor for all purposes. Most definitely one of the best 2K monitors in this price range currently. Edit: The price seems to be fluctuating (38k at the time of writing this comment), so wanted to add that I've purchased it for 26k, and I'm pretty happy with what it has to offer in this price range.

Easy assembly, sturdy, not too big as others say. Its fine if you have enough distance from monitor to chair. Only compliant is that its not AS adjustable as ROG monitors if you like to pull it low like myself. No issue tho worth the price.

Great monitor at a reasonable price to work and play games. Refresh Rate, colours, luminosity is great. Only downside is that there's only one HDMI port, wish there were 2 so I could plug 2 different computer on a same monitor. I love the sleek design and look. Side and top border is quite slim as the bottom one is thicker, making it look taller and wider. The monitor stays cool when used as well ( doesn't heat up the room). I strongly recommand this monitor if you are looking to up the quality of your work at home setup for a reasonable price.
