Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports with full 48 Gbps bandwidth, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and an audio line-out port with DTS Headphone:X support for 3D audio simulation. Price & Similar Monitors The 32GQ950 has standard brightness for a modern LCD in its SDR mode, hitting a touch over 400 nits. That's plenty for most use cases and helps to deal with some of the reflections off the coating I mentioned earlier. Minimum brightness is also excellent at just 15 nits, which gives users heaps of flexibility for using the display in bright and dark rooms.

Further, the IPS panel ensures 178° wide viewing angles with no brightness, contrast, gamma or color shift at skewed viewing angles. Thanks to its wide color gamut and consistent colors, the 32GQ950 is suitable for professional color-critical work. The main issue here are HDR claims. While LG does advertise this as a HDR 1000 product, I feel that's misleading due to the poor HDR capabilities that only reach semi HDR standard. I'm sure the monitor does properly pass the loose DisplayHDR 1000 certification standard, however this standard is not useful for consumers. The reality is the 32GQ950 is significantly inferior to proper, true HDR monitors. However I didn't spot any issues or defects with other areas to the display. What We Learned One of the features LG has touted with this new generation of displays is an ATW polarizer, or Advanced True Wide polarizer. This is a technology designed to reduce IPS glow which is a common complaint from IPS monitors, as well as improve contrast when viewed at off angles. While the 32GQ950 does have great viewing angles, I didn't see much of an improvement relative to other IPS LCDs.

Learn more about LG's gaming monitors& their features.Like many other LCDs in this segment, this is a versatile display that is great for gaming, productivity, content creation and basic PC tasks. Excellent text clarity, above average factory calibration, minimal IPS glow due to the ATW polarizer, and it's a nice flat panel with good brightness.

We do like the rear design used by LG, we've never been fans of "gamer" designs, but we feel LG is creating a subtle but still gaming look that we quite like. The flat plastic section has a nice pattern integrated into the design, and the angular raised bit is flanked on either side by RGB LED lighting that's integrated well. The front is pretty barebones with standard bezels around the panel. The monitor uses matte anti-glare coating which isn't the best, it reflects more than the average amount of diffuse lighting, but depending on your setup this might not be an issue. LG 5K monitors are a great option for gamers, photographers & graphic designers. Our 4K & 5K gaming monitors have an excellent resolution & high refresh rate to enhance the user experience. It’s factory-calibrated at Delta E < 5, which is more than good enough for basic content creation and gaming, but for high-end professional work, you’ll need a colorimeter to improve the accuracy a bit. While at around 100Hz we start to see some inverse ghosting, it's minimal and even at 60Hz with a 32% inverse ghosting rate, the actual artifacts you'll see can be hard to spot - this is due to cumulative deviation figures that aren't wildly out of control on average. Across all these refreshes we see around 4ms response time performance which is really solid.On average across the refresh range the 32GQ950 performs well. While it is a mid-table performer using the Normal setting, it has exceptionally low overshoot. It's roughly 50% faster than older 32-inch 4K monitors like the Asus PG32UQ and MSI MPG321UR-QD, while also delivering less overshoot, so that's an excellent result. All of the monitors that beat it in response times have higher overshoot, except OLEDs, of course, and if we had used the Fast mode instead of Normal mode it would have come close to matching the Neo G7.

Besides that, the Sony is an excellent gaming monitor, and while it has worse motion handling than the Samsung, it's still good enough that you won't see much blur. It also has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that lets it take full advantage of gaming consoles and modern graphics cards. Because it's a Sony product, it also has a few features you can only use with the PS5, like Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which optimizes the HDR performance according to different games. For general screen uniformity the 32GQ950 is above average though standard LCD issues appear like a bit of falloff around the edges, and a slight color tint difference between different areas on the display. A good result, though this can vary from unit to unit. HDR Performance It’s an overall exceptional SDR gaming monitor, but there are better HDR displays around this price range. Specifications Screen SizeAll of this plays out when viewing average cumulative deviation. The 32GQ950 in its best overdrive setting matches the Odyssey Neo G7 for performance, though it's not as fast as the Neo G8 which is a leader among LCDs, or OLEDs. Performance is slightly better than some of the 27" and 28" 4K options we've loved in the past, though it's to a negligible degree. What is a big improvement is again compared to those 32" options, this new LG display is minimum 25% better than something like the Aorus FI32U and that increases to 40 percent better relative to the PG32UQ. However, besides the trade-offs with the motion handling and input lag, the ASUS still offers excellent gaming performance that you'd expect from a 4k gaming monitor. It has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to make full use of the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and modern gaming PCs. It also delivers good picture quality with accurate colors and high peak brightness, but it has a terrible local dimming feature.

All of this performance is available at a typical power consumption level for a 32" 4K panel, it's not the most efficient option we've seen, but I don't have any complaints given it sits somewhere in the middle. If we look at the LG 32GQ950 purely as a 32-inch 4K SDR display, it's one of the best that we've tested so far. It's faster than other 4K monitors of this size, which significantly improves gaming motion, and it complements this with excellent color quality. Iam coming from an Acer X27 to this. My first thought is that a 32 inch is the absolute Sweet Spot from sitting 18" to 2 Feet away. At this distance the Size Feel Huge Clear and perfect.

Where To Buy

The monitor even supports hardware calibration, so pairing it with a decent colorimeter will make sense for any serious colorist anyway. Enjoy High Performance with LCD LED Monitors high performance for dual work as well as play purpose.
