Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Discover the latest innovations in performance and technology with gaming, TV and computer monitors from LG, including 4K, ultra-wide, IPS and more. See how we’re making life good. Along with the Thunderbolt 3 ports, which also accommodate non-Thunderbolt 3 USB-C connections, there are a pair of USB-A ports, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and a 3.5mm headphone port. Discover a more lifelike picture with high dynamic range, which provides bolder contrast between the brightest and darkest areas of the screen. This HDR 600 monitor has been rated to deliver impressive peak luminance of 600 nits for undeniably spectacular highlights. Based on our analysis, the LG 32" 32UN880-B and LG 32" 32UL950-W monitors have a similar color gamut, both of which we found were excellent for gaming.

The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. Power supply and consumption Information about the power supply and consumption, energy efficiency class, etc. 110V The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. On the flip-side, I actually prefer a larger 4K panel, as it’s easier on my eyes. Assets are larger on screen while in pixel-doubled Retina mode, which makes it easier to read. Although I love the idea of 5K panels, even my 27-inch iMac gives me problems from time to time when running at its default resolution.The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. More accurate color and a broader contrast ratio combine to deliver truly high-end picture quality. High dynamic range (HDR) makes bright and dark portions of the image even more so, while Nano IPS controls color better, covering 98% of the DCI-P3 color space, the digital film industry standard. DCI P3 is a color space, introduced in 2007 by the SMPTE. It is used in digital cinema and has a much wider gamut than the sRGB.

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. You can also remove the mechanism to reveal 100 x 100 VESA mounts at the rear panel. Most users won’t consider this feature, but it is handy especially since the LG 32UL950 is well-suited for flush mounting or multi-display setups. The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area.

Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. As with most third-party displays, the LG UltraFine 4K is comprised almost entirely of plastic. It can’t compete with the build quality of Apple’s most recent displays, but it’s par for the course as far as most third-parties ventures are concerned. Loads of I/O However, screen size also plays a role in the gaming experience. A bigger screen allows you to see more detail at a more comfortable size. While a high resolution is important for detail and crispness, a bigger screen allows you to see that detail at a more comfortable size. For example, a 27-inch monitor with a resolution of 1440p (3440 x 1440) will let you see a lot more detail than a 1080p (1920 x 1080) monitor of the same size. The numbers in the resolution stand for the number of pixels per line. So a 1920 x 1080 resolution monitor would have over 2 million pixels total. The resolution is another critical aspect of a gaming monitor. The resolution is measured in pixels; the more pixels a monitor has, the sharper the image will be. A higher resolution results in a clearer and more detailed picture.
