[Rewarded Review] The Best of Both Worlds.

I was in the market for a monitor that could handle both productivity and gaming when I came across this UltraGear 32" OLED Dual Mode Monitor. Up until pulling the trigger on this 4K UHD OLED, I was using another monitor that was 4K, 240Hz. My issue with my old monitor was that I was sacrificing refresh rates for resolution, which is great for most games but not for some of the faster-paced first-person shooters that I play.

[Rewarded Review] A lot of flexibility with some room for upgrades.

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.

[Rewarded Review] Fantastic OLED monitor

After years of gaming on 144hz-165hz IPS monitors, this LG Ultra Gear OLED 32” this feels like a huge upgrade to me. It has dual-mode options: 240hz at 4k and 480hz at 1080p with a quick switch button for it on the underside of the monitor. It’s convenient to be able to press it without having to change the resolutions in game or display settings. I wish I knew this earlier but I didn’t realize that the first time I switched modes (from 4k to 1080p), it made my secondary monitor the primary one. This caused a bit of confusion for me but it all worked out.

[Rewarded Review] Excellent Gaming Monitor!

This monitor is a remarkable monitor for gaming and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a 32” 4K OLED monitor. The gaming experience is excellent. I’ve been using LG monitors and TV’s going back many years and they have consistently offered reliability, great image quality, and a refined product. This monitor is no different.

[Rewarded Review] Beautiful looking 4K gaming monitor!!

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.

[Rewarded Review] 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 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.

[Rewarded Review] 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.

[Rewarded Review] Okay but has issues

So I ended up returning this because out of the box in SDR and HDR there is a substantial amount of black crush happening and it's the worst I've seen on an OLED (my LG CX 48 in for example does not have this issue). Also there was some weird gamma issue where it was randomly raising the black levels of the black bars at the top and bottom of movies during playback.

[Rewarded Review] Best monitor that exists? WOlded > QDOled

Picture quality, color, size, build quality is phenomenal. I bought a 360 hz QDOLED before this monitor, but the shininess of the screen and the sub-pixel layout provided a much worse picture to my eyes than the WOLED of this monitor. Returned the 360hz MSI for this model, and couldn't be happier. That said, I do have a sticky menu button, and the menu looks dated and is a bit dumb to navigate.

[Rewarded Review] Pixel Sound is impressive! But no USB-C or Dolby V

[Rewarded Review] 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.

[Rewarded Review] 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 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)

[Rewarded Review] 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.

[Rewarded Review] Fast Response & Refresh, Great Image & Sound

The LG 32" UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor has incredible image quality, fast response time and refresh rate, great sound for a monitor, and lots of extra features!

[Rewarded Review] 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.

[Rewarded Review] Pretty good. But beat by the competition.

This monitor is good. But not perfect.
