Say Hello to the #new LG 32GQ950-B, #4k Gaming Monitors are just blowing the doors off previous tech. But does this Ultragear give the Samsung Odyssey and Gigabyte #gaming monitors a run for their money?
Or is it just another 4K gaming monitor?

Thanks for your review! As I upgraded my PC to a RTX 3090 (before 3060 Ti) and Ryzen 9 5900x (before 5 5600x), I still own the LG 27GN800 monitor, which was top for WQHD. Now, of course, I plan to upgrade my monitor to 4K as well. This LG 32GQ850-B is my favorite to go with. I watched a lot of reviews, now including yours (like and sub alone for that!) and I'm 99% sure, this will be my next monitor within the next few weeks to come. The LG C2 is also a great tv/monitor, but 42'' is simply too much for my deskto. I also kept my eye on the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7, the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQ, which also get some good reviews (but also some mixed). As more I get into it, the LG seems to be the one to go for. Especially as I'm not just using it for gaming, but also a lot for daily work at the pc. Now I gotta check out your other videos.

@BainCustom Жыл бұрын

LG's color accuracy in the category is fairly unmatched for all around game/desk work. BenQ and Viewsonic are the only real competitors imo. Samsung is solid, I am using the G7 right now and it is sweet. But it is definitely not a workstation monitor, well it at least isn't as good as the LG for that purpose. The 3090 runs both well just so you know, so solid choices!

@thomaswoodford9511 Жыл бұрын

I recently discovered your channel. I like your review style. I've been watching your monitor reviews as I'm in the market to get 2 new monitors. I currently have an LG Ultrawide, but it does not lend itself to office productivity work as I've moved to a hybrid in office/remote work. I think 2 4k monitors may kill my RTX 3080 FE, so I've looking at maybe a 1440p and a 4k monitor. I like the reviews I see on the Gigabyte offerings as it seems to be a good all rounder. I do like LG, but the price. Anyway, thanks for your reviews.

@BainCustom Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the input and I definitely get your dilemma. I have finally just finished my 2 monitor setup and it took some time to figure it out. If I had to choose 2 monitors to use, keeping price in mind, I would probably lean toward the Gigabyte. I myself have the LG GQ950 and the G70A, although I would probably choose the Gigabyte for multi monitor over the Samsung. It is friendlier to second monitors. However, there are plenty of good 1440p options as well and it all really comes down to what you want to spend the money on. Higher fidelity and color accuracy (LG GQ950) or something in 1440p that will cost about half and give you good color accuracy. Hope this helps, I will surely be making more videos. So be sure to check back soon!

Thanks for an honest review. Being an early adopter of the GQ950-B, I have to say this is by far the best monitor I’ve ever had. Really grown to love it over the past several months. Yes it has a few short comings, and I agree the restrictions on adjusting in HDR seem ridiculous. But it shines in every other metric. So come on LG. How about a firmware update unlocking brightness and contrast during HDR.

I am looking for an OLED but a 32" OLED so there's a wait for them to appear, then a wait after the inevitable gremlins to be sorted. So I'll have this for the next two years. If the Neo G7 was a flat panel I don't think I would be looking for an OLED. I know I am going to like the LG though.

This monitor is great. I think I prefer the Cooler Master GP27U though. I tend to play a lot of single player games and the HDR experience on the Cooler Master is exceptional. I could never go back to an edge lit monitor after using it. I’m tempted to get the new LG OLED monitor when it comes out, although it’s going to be 1440p, I just wish it was 4k.

@BainCustom Жыл бұрын

I hear you on that. The LG is nice. It feels premium. I did just pick up the neo g7, I don't have an opinion yet. But the mini led side is super nice! So I can get behind the cooler master for that reason. That LG OLED is just calling everybody's name! 😂

There are a few things that could cause that. Are you on console or pc? First I would make sure you are using the proper cables and most up to date cables. Then be sure you gsync or freesync is turned on. There is a ton you can do to solve the issue, but just make sure the monitor is setup/calibrated properly and that the game is also setup properly.

As far as brightness goes or luminosity, they are similar. However, the Acer does have more dimmable zones, it's a mini LED technology. So it's overall contrast and black level performance is probably better. However I have had issues with Acer not being quite as bright as they claim and underperforming in black level performance.

I couldn't tell you. I will say that I spend the extra time to do a full calibration of every monitor I review. I also tend to put many hours on the monitor before doing any type of video work. I tend to film a bit darker and let the room light do the work. Others may enhance the white balance or exposure of their videos. The IPS glows fairly minimal, I actually thought it was good for being a full array dimming panel. It's there, but not typically noticable.
