Killer review. Thank you guys very much! I'll get this one
Appreciate it, thanks! This LG is good but not #1, as there are faults (brightness/HDR handling) we pointed out, but it's still a very capable screen and appears to be on sale right now in a few places. Note the edges of the screen have a tiny blue effect. Please subscribe!

I have the costco version and its AMAZING! Gonna be grabbing another one for a dual 32 inch setup later today now that I have my dual arm that supports 32 inch's weight mounted and gtg. :)

Excellent review, really really thorough analysis by far the best i found.
I ended up buying it before watching your review, and here i was all worried that maybe i didn't made a nice buy, but at least here in Brazil it seems to be the best price/performance qhd 165hz on market.
If the price of the gigabyte monitor were in the same margin i would go for it instead!
Thank you again, keep up with the amazing work!
Thanks for the praise and glad it's performing for you. Brazil, wow cool! We have content coming, stay tuned and please subscribe 😁
For under 200 it works for me. I can notice the darkness but i can also complain about my previous 1080 p going for cheap lighting or what i call almost gray to make up for resolution. Im keeping it. I really only got it to maximize use of my series s.
I just ordered this monitor after the previous one suddenly black out on me. So excited for it!
Thanks for getting some negatives mentioned in the first three minutes. I am happy with my QN600 32" which I use for everything, except I don't game at all. I do use Photoshop, Capture One and DaVinci Resolve daily. I saw an ad for this 32GN600 and got a bit excited because of the current discount to C$199 but I think I'll hold out for another QN600 if they go on sale. I think the specs of IPS and higher bit depth than the GN are probably characteristics that are making me like the one I have and they'd be setup in dual monitor from one PC.
Glad it was helpful for you! 😊
Just the cyberpunk style intro graphics alone made me subbed to this channel
Thanks for that! We're relaunching in a few weeks here, so please be patient!
Picked this up on sale (169) and started using it. For the price this monitor is AMAZING 😭
Did you get it on sale at Amazon?
I know its hdr is relatively bad, but after trying both hdr mode and sdr, i prefer the colors and overall look of the hdr mode, and don't have a issue with its low brightness since i play in the dark mod of the time. The hdr effect works well enough in games to not bother me. Great monitor overall. Been use to a 1366x766p 32" monitor, so this is superb eye candy to me lmao.
Glad it works for you, but we don't recommend this panel for any use in HDR- just look at a new miniLED TV showing HDR content and you see how HDR should actually look. This monitor has sub-par performance even among similar spec monitors, although LG is selling this often cheaper now than comparable models. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!

200 right now just bought one
I just got this at Walmart for $200 as well. they had it as a early Black Friday deal. The edges of the screen are kinda weird, kinda like if you turned on the 3d of a Nintendo 3ds. I don't know why it has a speaker volume adjustment when it has no speakers either. But I'm really happy with this so far. It doesn't say it supports g sync, on the box, but under the NVIDIA control, it says it supports it so that was a welcome addition.
Yeah both things we noted in the review heh. Hope it still works well for ya. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
Just picked this up on clearance at Walmart for $112 didn't need a monitor but hey felt like it was to good to pass up
I bought the lg 32GN63T-B for $199 on amazon, which is supposed to be the same thing but made special for costco, but I couldn't even enable the HDR. I was pleased to hear that this is the worst feature and that it compares relatively well to other monitors in the price range. Thank you for the very thorough review. I wish you had shown a few more shots of the menu and how to set some of the color profiles since that's pretty confusing, but this is a review afterall and not a how-to.
HDR requires a bunch of things to go right, including the source sending it and the sending port's capability ie HDMI 1.4 vs 2.0, the connecting wire's spec, and the monitor /display capabilities. The reason we test with PS4 is that is solves the first problem, without Windows weirdness. But HDR can be difficult to get working properly on the best day. Thanks for the praise, we try to strike a balance between brevity and a proper review, we're a small channel so people barely watch a video for 10mins, if that. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
@@Techspin ya, windows is weird. I am using DP 1.4 with an arc a770 on win 11. I even tried registry hacks to enable it. Good to know I am not missing out on much. Also, good to know about fake 10-bit color. I learned a lot from your video.
Well the price is really great. I've seen HDR done right and it can look amazing, but not sure I would want to see all my content that way. There also a key combination to enable/disable HDR in windows but it won't force it to work, so it may or may not be useful. Would need to Google it again 😂 Love the feedback, cheers.
its not the same panel, the gn63-t has poorer motion handling and slightly worse colors. better in other areas, such as ergonomics and price.
great video!

Feels like my pick for next monitor. I have lg 34UM88C right now what is dying and not much money for buying something premium. Mostly for gaming and sometimes making art. Thank you!
The 34UM88 initially released Jan 2016, but saw a review as recent as Jul 2022, so you've had this monitor for between 3 to 7 years? Weird that it's dying so soon... maybe try a new video cable, or try a different type of connection to see if the port has issues... or it might be the port on your PC/laptop has a little damage. But if it's the monitor, this isn't a bad choice, on mine right now to respond actually. Wish you luck! Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
@Techspin Well. It is my fault. It has backlight problem, what I coused by accident and from it sometimes works and sometimes half screen is dark. Plus I actually got bad prodect from the start like with a dead pixel and monitor feels blurry (i have shaprening at max to fix it) I was too lazy to return it. 😅 And I kinda wish an upgrade from 60 fps gaming.
Yikes! Well, gotta be careful with those monitors too! Good luck on the hunt for a new one 😊
@Techspin Thanks and you got new sub too from me!
Cheers thanks! New content is coming... Been busy on projects for clients and currently recovering from bronchitis. Soon I hope 😅
Such a great monitor for the price. Would highly recommend it. I use mine in a dark room and its been fantastic for gaming and media consumtion. Its also one of the cheapest good gsync monitors.
It's a pretty decent monitor but the Gigabyte G32QC-A really offers more, with actual DCI-P3 handling, a much brighter screen so HDR actually looks decent, plus height adjust too. Check our review- ua-cam.com/video/w2c2gvcAd-8/v-deo.html And please subscribe!
@@Techspin the g32 qc is vastly more expensive in my country. But like over $200 more. But thanks for putting it on my radar. Iv since subbed to tour channel. Keep up the good work!
Right, the price may vary per region. Thanks for your support!
@@Techspin sure but the Gigabyte is a curved monitor. If you are looking for a flat 32inch there are not many alternatives for the price of the LG.
Just picked it up for $200 USD at Walmart brand new. Very excited.
Just happened to pick this up for $150 usd . First 1440p monitor . Thanks for the heads up about HDR . Overall I feel it was a good buy .
IM planning to get one from Ebay $160 yopu think its worth it do you see a difference in quality refresh? i have a 1080p 27 inch curved 60hz samsung monitor i dont know if it will such a big difference...
@baltaorel there is a MASSIVE difference, I just went from a 1080p 32 inch 60hz tv, to this 1440p 31 inch 165hz monitor, so it's definitely worth the money, easy to setup and start gaming and love the resolution difference from 1080p to 1440p
This was a really good review, i'm thinking about buying one, i've tried to keep everything Ips for some time but they are just so expensive.
The Gigabyte model we did is much better than this, especially after we found the edge issues with this LG. Depends on the pricing in your area, but if this is your best option, apart from the edges and stand, it's a decent monitor. Don't forget to subscribe!

odyssey over lg which one better ?
Heard good reports of the Samsung Odyssey panels so far
@@bluemagic3102
I have both. The odyssey g7 curved and this ultra gear. The odyssey is leagues better. Deeper blacks, much more vibrant colors, and less ghosting/artifacts. This monitor is good and very fast/responsive but still does not compare to the odyssey G7.
Just picked this up on sale at Walmart for 209 I already had the 27” and wanted a 2nd monitor, I love the built in crosshair from lg. and the quality and everything has been great. I wouldn’t pay 350 US but for what I got these for I won’t complain at all
What do you play on ?
That's why I'm here watching this video, I'm thinking about getting one. I also have the 27" and am thinking about jumping up to 32". Walmart has them on sale next week for 170.

I just ordered mine with the black Friday sale at $169. Coming from a 13 year old IPS 21" with a 60hz refresh rate.. I'm very excited
I ordered 3 of these on sale for sim racing. I really wanted IPS but the price of this monitor was too good to pass up. I'm glad to see they perform decent.
I'm literally abt to do the same thing for my rig 😂 they're too cheap to pass up on the price right now, but im just skeptical ig
I just ordered this for my sim rig....I am currently using a 50" TV at 60fps. I am more than happy to exchange size for FPS. I hope I will be happy. 😉
@@ZigZagBruno-racing how do you likje these monitors so far?
Thanks for the very detailed review. Could you (or someone) clarify what measurement 'pixel-to-air' refers to? Couldn't find anything about it.
This is measuring the black screen border and bezel together. A few years back we noticed some monitor manufacturers were claiming a product had an "ultra thin bezel" while not counting the large black screen border. While this might be fine for a single monitor setup, dual or multi monitor setups are becoming common for gaming and productivity. So if you're buying dual monitors, you need to know the exact gap between the two monitors. This would be pixel to air x2. So shoppers can get an accurate idea of how seamless their desktop would look. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
Just purchased one coming from a cheap but good quality AOC 27" 1080P. Waiting for it to arrive, but I know I will notice the difference out of the box. Nice review, keep it up! Cheers from sunny Costa Rica

So how did it go?! :D
@@angelestrada9620 well I'm really happy with it. Although my video card makes no justice now 😅 but I've had run couple games in 1440p at an average of 85FPS. Perhaps a better video card will give me more. Using DP connectivity. Videos with HDR look just amazing.
You should try and grab an RTX 3070 or 3080 off the used market if you can.
Do you like it more than the AOC? I’m currently trying to decide between this and the AOC C32G2 32" that’s 1080P.

What are the best setting for best image looking ?
I don't see the reason to complain about the HDR 10 on this monitor 😕, really it's about what you'd expect for a budget monitor and it's basically driving for fps gamers who are looking for a cheap monitor. If the HDR really bothers you then turn it off, it still looks really good and runs smoothly especially on the Xbox series X. I wished I could afford a top of the line $1000.00 gaming monitor, however I have to make due with what I can afford. I've talked to many companies that manufacture monitors and tvs and baseline monitors are the bareback budget that just gives enough quality and performance for gamers not wanting eye candy but rather smooth game play. I've seen this monitor at a friend's house using an Xbox series X and compared to my BenQ 4k it looked and ran a 1000 times better. My Ben Q bit the dust a few days ago so I ordered this monitor and don't regret it. People expect way to much out of budget products and forget that you aren't paying for a top tier product. I used to be hooked on eye candy but honestly some games look so cartoonish that you really don't want it popping out when you are playing games. Dark games like Dragons of Dogma or Skyrim you can always adjust the contrast and brightness settling for that instead of using HDR 10. Many games I played on my BenQ I turned it off especially in games like Red Dead Redemption 2. I think many players would enjoy this monitor especially at the budget price is sells for offering higher refresh rates for their new gaming consoles.
If the manufacturer claims the monitor has HDR, we're going to test it, and the result was pretty poor. Also the fact that it advertises as a 350nit panel when actually it's a SDR 300nit panel is misleading for consumers. Apart from this and the panel edge issue we noticed after the fact, this is a decent gaming monitor for the price. Thanks for the feedback!
@@Techspin I agree with you on that, they shouldn't make claims. But here's an interesting thing to consider 🤔 I bought two identical tvs, one looked bright clear and good sound while the other seemed dim, blurry and to high pitched in sound. Both at factory default and both Sony. I do know that no two identical tvs look the same which could be what you are experiencing. I've seen this monitor hooked to a Xbox series X and the HDR looked really nice compared to my previous BenQ 28 inch 4k. Mine hasn't arrived yet and I hope I don't have a bad experience because there's always a risk of damage when buying online which I believe is what happened to my BenQ which died after about 5 months. I thought my Xbox one X and PS4 pro were going bad, one had lines in the game while the other kept over heating, turns out it was the monitor after buying a series X.
1) Buying a TV/display in the last few years they WILL be identical for performance, save a tiny variance for 6-axis color and a few nits variance for brightness. Most monitors usually ship fairly close out of the box, but graphics professionals need to calibrate to get the colors 100% accurate. This will be imperceptible to the average user. What you're describing with your Sony is definitely an RMA issue! Sounds like the TV's graphics card failed.
2) I was a long time buyer of BenQ products, but after bad customer support with a new TV purchase and seeing their (at the time) new 4K lineup which was super dim compared to any others, won't buy their products again. I've had more issues with BenQ products than almost any other tech I own. One TV, the GPU died twice! They have had quality control issues, expected when you're the cheapest on the market.
3) Lines in game can be caused by a failing display's graphics card, connect with a different wire/to a different display to rule out possibilities. // You make it sound like the monitor was causing your console to overheat- this isn't really possible. However, if your PS4 Pro is set to display at 4K, that will use more processing power, causing more heat- this will happen connected to any 4K display. Better get a room fan blowing over your PS4 Pro, maybe it needs cleaning internally from dust?
@@Techspin Well that's not quite true. I am a hire on electronic repair for warranty services. All components in any brand can at a moments notice be different due to shortages of certain grade parts such as chips, diodes, boards, panels, leds and so on. When I say no two monitors are the same I wasn't exaggerating. They get these tvs as close to specs as possible and you have to understand that there are more than one manufacturing facilities assembling the same tvs. What is really a kicker is that for example I have seen Samsung tvs assembled at a Sony manufacturing facility, this happens quite often you'll see other companies assembling different brands through partnerships. Mainly because Samsung and Sony sometimes share internal components in their products. My LG Ultra Gear 32 inch arrived this morning and through a diagnostics test mine was producing nearly 400 nits using HDR10. I was quite surprised by those numbers as I was figuring around 300 or less. So far the monitor is performing better than I was hoping for. However I did have to re soldier the headphone jack due to a short which is now working with my aux sound bar. I wasn't to upset about having to fix small problems like this. I've been using it all day with no problems and it compliments my Xbox series X ,Xbox one X and my PS4 pro. Prices on the PS 5 are insane right now otherwise I'd upgrade to that. I'll keep you informed if anything happens.

The placement of the inputs is incredibly stupid and I am so happy I noticed it in your B-rolls, because I almost bought it. The problem with them is that they limit VESA mounting to a mount that is exactly the size that fits, and you can't mount it if you have a bigger VESA mount with holes in the middle for smaller sizes, because then you won't be able to plug in your inputs, unless you buy angled cables, which are a substantial cost if you are on a budget. I looked into it because of this monitor, and for some reason angled HDMI and DP cables are at premium compared to regular ones, not to mention they are kinda rare for some reason.
And honestly, taking a closer look, that height difference for the inputs is so shallow, even an angled cable might not fit.
Oh yeah, and don't even dream about wall mounting it.
So, buying this monitor would have left me cursing about having to replace my VESA arm, or having to buy angled cables. Such a dumb move by LG, why can't they have the inputs facing down or to the side like almost every other monitor maker. Bad design.
Now of course I am aware this is probably a problem for a small fraction of buyers, but still... even on the factory stand, if someone has their desk against the wall and is using some of those thick and stiff premium cables, this can be a problem, because it might put strain on the input connectors. Shit, just the sheer weight of a more premium HDMI cable can do that.
Anyway, thank you for the video and your wonderful B-rolls, they certainly helped me out! :)
Glad we helped! Yes, the location for the inputs can get in the way especially say a receptionist desk where you're putting the monitor against a top shelf, and the inputs will be visible. Wall mounting it would have to be out a fair distance too. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
The texts are really hard to read on this monitor and it gives me headache when I'm editing on it. Am I doing something wrong?
Need to change font scaling. Right click your mouse on an empty area of your desktop, click Display Settings. Look for Scale, where you can choose the size of text and apps. Note you will probably need to close and reopen apps, some old apps I've seen require a PC restart sometimes. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
What would be the best monitor with hdr and freesync
I am considering buying this monitor but I'm running into some confusion. On amazon someone asked if it had g-sync and someone answered that you could turn it on from the menu. One review says that it is g-sync compatible but another says it isn't. Does anyone know if it is?
Can confirm this monitor is G-sync compatible with the latest Nvidia drivers. Not sure if there's a menu setting for it; Windows just detects it is once you've done the Nvidia driver update. Hope this helps. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
TBF to me HDR is more about how the game looks vs how it would look in SDR. With my experience I've always had better colour depth and contrast using HDR on my monitor and generally prefer it over SDR (some games don't look great with HDR, though - maybe just lack of HDR config options in-game). So yeah, compared to an HDR 1000 it's shit and it falls short of HDR 400 but it still looks pretty good tbh.
I got this display for 200$ it was a solid purchase , I was worried about the brightness after this review. But it is a solid display. But like the reviewer said it could be better. For 200 bucks though. .
We really try for even-handed, objective reviews so this kind of feedback tells us we're hitting the tone we want. Still a decent monitor, suffering from dishonest marketing. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!

when i open a hdr movie or when we close the movie, the screen freezes for 2 to 3 sec i mean mouse wont show a movement, n i can feel stuck screen, is that nomral today is my my first day though for the monitor,
also not just this,
i have kept monitor turn off at 5 min , when monitor on after i move my mouse same issue screen freezes for same 2 to 3 sec and then works all good
using with an amd ryzen 5900x 1660 super at 165 on dp , pls suggest if i should take replacement
As we've mentioned before on the channel, HDR on Windows is still buggy and often doesn't work well. HDR does demand a higher output from your GPU though, so that could be contributing to these delay glitches, especially running at 165Hz which is over double the GPU power needed for 60Hz. There may be issues as windows tried to display HDR content also. Wishing you luck with troubleshooting. Please subscribe!
@@Techspin i have a weird issue no idea pls guide sir , va panel lower down side towards the plastic on which lg logo is there , i feel it warms after some hrs usage , 3 hrs , if i keep brightness at 100% , is that a defect or normal , my ips panel doesnt get warm i do have a 27 inch ips same lg , this 32gn600 getting warm
You need to make sure the unit has enough ventilation, so if it's in an enclosure or you have a towel or something sitting on top blocking vents, you need to remove that. A fan blowing over the area will help to move hot air away too.
I'd probably go with your gut feeling if you've noticed your monitor is getting too hot, something may be wrong there. Usually we don't notice heat coming off a monitor so that may be a sign...
@@Techspin no i dont use any towel or anything on monitor why will i , yes heat is coming a lot on bottom-side, amazon finally agreed for the replacement lets see the new monitor in 7 days and will update here too. thanks , also can u guide us a setting for hdr movies and for normal pc usage , can u make a video on the same
Confused on whether to get this or the ASUS TUF Gaming 27" 1440P HDR Curved Monitor (VG27WQ1B) - QHD (2560 x 1440), 165Hz
Probably looking at the ASUS monitor more, we'll see if we can grab this for testing soon. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
Which one do you think is better 32Gn650 or BenQ Ew3270U ? 🤔 I am guessing benQ due to higher pixels.
Kind of apples to oranges comparison there, this is a 1440p 165hz gaming screen more for first person shooters; the other is a 4K 60Hz panels better for UHD media content and Adventure/RPG gaming. I used to like BenQ but had poor CS experience, and their first 4K were super dim, I'd recommend the Samsung or Acer 4Ks if you're looking for UHD. There are high-cost 4K 144Hz panels, their price is coming down but the big catch is you'll need a powerful GPU to run at 144Hz with decent graphics... probably not hitting ultra unless you have a 3090 TI or 4090.

@@Techspin Thank you for responding. I am mostly looking for 32 inch monitor for little gaming, watching movies, video editing and my writing work but only these two comes under my budget, sadly.
Sounds like a 4K panel would suit the majority of your use cases better this time.
I’m picking mine up today, how is the 4k and 60hz output? Is screen tearing very obvious how people have mentioned?
This doesn't have 4K.
Would a msi optix mag322cqrv be better then this ? Or is the lg better ?
Both about the same for luminosity at 300 nits, this LG is slightly faster at 165Hz. Mixed bag here...
I just got one and only couple days in there's black faded lines on the top of the screen like picture fading I really don't get it. I just bought it
Sounds defective
What website did you say to use for the screen calibration?
rtings.com can give you some ideas, but generally to properly calibrate, I think consumers have to invest in equipment....? I need to research this more
Got this for pretty cheap but I plugged my hdmi into my Xbox.

I bought this monitor but I’m about to return it because I can’t stand the ghosting. My dark games (Diablo 2, Elden Ring) look like a blurry mess. Am I doing something wrong?
First you need to check that your resolution is set to 1440p. Next if you're not getting 165Hz, use a DisplayPort cable. In the Quick summary, we talk about the setting to minimize ghosting. Finally, some in-game graphics settings can add blur effects, perhaps this is what you're seeing? Hope this helps. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
I'm planning to buy this cause it was on Walmart's black Friday deals for days, I wanna know if its a TN panel though...
Good question. We might say something about that in the review 😉 Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
Same here did you get it
It's a VA panel.
Why can’t I use the picture adjust part it only lets me change the brightness everything else is greyed out?
Many TVs and monitors disallow adjustment when HDR is turned on. Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
Im not very knowledgeable in monitors, but I've used a 1080p 75hz monitor for like 4 years now, I just purchased this monitor cause its at 200$ right now cause of black friday deals. When i compare my old and new monitors, then new one seems very...dim? Like its not a bright in general and reds look pink, is this normal?
Check the nits (also called cm/m2) your old monitor can put out- this one does 300 with SDR content, not 350. Connected with HDMI? The monitor may be set to limited range 16-235 instead of full range 0-255. This only affects HDMI; the easiest solution or alternate test is hookup with a DisplayPort cable. And you may need to check color temputature, may set to Cool? Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
So i looked it up, my old monitor has 250 nits so not entirely sure. I got it a little brighter but its still not a bright but thank you very much
You using it for SDR, not HDR right? HDR darkens the screen as we detailed in the review.
Im using SDR, it was one of the reasons i found it dim at first b4 commenting here, then i found out that's after turning off HDR the brightness drops to 50%, So i had to up it to 100% again, I got the brightness pretty good now but colors still seem a little weird, changed it to 0-255, thank you for your help. It adleast seems a lot better then it was previously.
Could you possibly tell me how high the monitor is off the desk? As it doesn't have height adjustment this could be important for me. Thanks.
That's an interesting metric we might think to include in future reviews. The monitor bottom is 8.5cm from the desk. I think the LG 32GN650 has an adjustable stand, although I don't see it going higher than the 600. The Gigabyte G32QC-A is a vastly superior monitor, depending on your location and pricing, this may be much better for you. Our review ua-cam.com/video/w2c2gvcAd-8/v-deo.html Please do subscribe!
@@Techspin Ah brilliant thanks for that dimension, it is handy if your a short or tall person. Having that dimension on adjustable stands is handy too sometimes. And thanks for the Gigabyte recommendation, I am in 2 minds at the moment. As I want to get either the Samsung Ark or Neo G98 purely for gaming. But doing work on these size screens isn't great as I do a lot of screen sharing and I have heard this doesn't go well. So I was going to have 2 x 32inch screens as my work/gaming until I get the ultrawide and then these will be for work only. I also didn't want to spend too much as I am getting 2 of them. But thanks again and I have indeed subscribed :)
Cheers thanks for the support. Running 2x 32" screens, I think you'll find that curved works a little better, though you could VESA mount one up as well. The Gigabyte panel is really good for this, though if you're screen sharing you might need to down-frequency to 60hz or down-res to 1080p for sharing? Might need to test it out first if it's mission critical. The Acer ET322QK we reviewed is a 4K panel that's truly amazing, might want to check that out too, though it's just 60hz.
I just got this in Black Friday for 99 bucks😮
What? That's crazy. Nice find
Used?
I am not able to change the tilt of this monitor? Can you tell me how to do it? The joint seems very tight and i am scared to tilt
Push at the top while holding the bottom joint. Agreed, it's one of the topics we brought up in the review, the joint is terribly designed. Please subscribe!
@@Techspin Thank you so much.
Just be careful. Another method, put a towel down on a table, put the monitor face down and adjust that way.
just ordered this monitor for 160 was thinking of just canceling the order

@@Techspin Subbed, thanks for answering!
Cheers thank you!
In which Menu Mode is this at the best colour Calibration? I want to colour grade with it but the colours are different to my 99% srgb
I use Gamer 2. Skin tones look more natural than 1. Gamma looks like 2.2.
Brightness should be at 21 for proper blacks in a dark room but when I play on PS5 with HDR and 1ms frame reduction (black frame insertion) I crank it to 100 because BFI reduces the perceived brightness and max brightness is the only way the monitor will hit max nits on HDR. Looks superb.
Interesting. Will need to try these settings on mine too. 🙂
What are the measurements of the screen without the frames??
After the TLDR, we go into all specs. At 3:48 we tell you it's a 31.5" 16:9 VA panel😉 Please subscribe, thanks for your support!
Got this for 200 bucks on wal mart Im hoping both the series x and ps5 look good on this
let me know if it runs good, currently looking at it for 200$ on walmart
Looks good on ps5
Nice!
@@JoseGarcia-oc3pk does it support 120hz on ps5?
Got it a week ago. It's a little disappointing. The main issue is brightness - you have to set it to 100%, but it's still too low however you set it up. HDR is unusable because the black levels are so saturated that it has no differentiation between shades. On the plus side: 165 refresh rate works perfectly, and freesync works perfectly also.
Looks like they put a lower-class panel into a higher-class chasis/control module - the screen itself is the drawback. Get it cheap if you have to get it.
Just bought this for black friday for $200. Hoping it works well with my xbox, will it be able to run 1440p and 120hz?
Bro same but I got for my ps5 let me know if it works one 1440p 120fps please!
Yeah let us know, we don't have Xbox in the studio, thanks!

Hi there! How is it with the office use? Do coding, web dev, design, and documents work? Will appreciate feedback about this.
The 'content creation' part covers this, and it's good with sRGB colorspace.
@@Techspin thanks!
I have a Laptop and it does have HDMI but no display port and a Type c as well. If I get HDMI to DP cable will I get 165 hz ?
Very unlikely as most new laptops that could support 165Hz will have DisplayPort, or higher-end, Type C supporting DisplayPort Alt mode. See if any friends have an adapter they can lend you for testing. Good luck!
@@Techspin The laptop had a mini-display port and I got a Mini DP cable to DP now it supports 1440p 165 Hz. Thank you so much.

Why the does no one produce monitors bigger than 32 inch which are not ultra wide? I am looking for a monitor of at least 34 inch minimum and 38 inch maximum which is NOT ultra wide. I am now on a 27 inch 2k one. And going from 27 to 32 inch would not make much difference in what i am used to. I'd rather go to at least 34 inch with no ultra wide and preferably at least 165 hz.
Recently I realized that 32" is really the biggest I want to see for a 4K monitor, and I'd like 1440p monitors more at 27", but the 27" 1440p mons on the market tend to have poor brightness (nits) at this size. 32" seems to be the crucial size.
Years back I used a 43“ 1080p for a PC monitor but you can see the individual pixels... We tested out a Gigabyte 48" 4K and it was beautiful but got in the way of everything. 😂
I just got a LG UltraGear 32GN600-B - LED-Monitor - QHD - 80 cm (32") and i cant run 1440p or 2560 resolution because max supported is full hd 1920 by 1080. I have pentium g3240 with integrated graphics...should i upgrade to i3 or get a new graphics card just enough to run this resolution so that i can do multimedia stuff and not into gaming much..
Your Pentium g3240, released 2014, supports HDMI max resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz, DisplayPort 2560x1600@60Hz, and since 1440p is 2560x1440 this should work. However the motherboard needs to have DisplayPort onboard, but many boards didn't have this, only VGA/DVI/HDMI at that point.
So probably an upgrade is needed. You could grab a i3-12100 and a MSI PRO H610M-G for example, that mobo has HDMI and DisplayPort so a bit of future proofing there, along with a huge speed boost by moving to a M.2 SSD for your windows drive. Total cost for CPU, board and M.2 around $300 or so. And the i3-12100 is roughly on par with an old top of the line 7700K, so you'll notice a huge leap in performance in applications. One note: Don't grab the i3-12100F, as it lacks an onboard iGPU. Please subscribe!
@@Techspin thanks for the detailed answer yes my motherboaed doesn't have a display port... Is DP better than Hdmi...I don't do gaming just video editing n conversion and primarily I do multimedia content... Also I was thinking of returning back the monitor and going for 27 inches since that's the sweet spot for 2k resolution.. Ppi of 108 Vs 93 in a 32 inch...
Also I was figuring out Amd Ryzen cheaper than Intel and more performance oriented I am told.. And i wouldn't need a graphics card as onboard graphics is quite powerful. i have no idea never looked at AMD before but have heard good things about them for now and also price to performance factor. What do you suggest ??
DP can often deliver higher resolution or Hz at a given generation. 27" might work better for you if you like higher DPI. The reason we don't recommend AMD is that their CPUs generally don't have onboard graphics, no iGPU. There are some that do, but none of the mainstream ones, ie, easy to purchase/the models most consumers will be looking at, don't. And for a budget build, nothing beats the i3-12100 currently, make sure you get a board with DDR4 not DDR5.
Because your use-case is for multimedia, the greatest gain will be a CPU/mobo upgrade, so even though a second hand GPU would solve the problem for now, the money spent on this would be better invested in upgrading your 8 year old CPU/mobo combo to current gen. Depends on what deals you can find in the second hand market in your area, but again, looking to the future and your use-case, a new i3-12100 is the way to go.
@@Techspin Any particular reason for Ddr4 n not Ddr5..?
Yeah ill try to get that even though 13th gen has been announced and going on sale soon.. I just need a good enough pc to last another 7-8 years .. 16 gb ddr4 or 32 gb ddr4 should suffice..
I'll get a 2k 27 inch monitor for multimedia consumption.. Should I get windows 11 on this or 10 pro..
Lastly i have two Hdds of 1 tb each..
I think ill l get a Ssd 250 gb just for system files and windows and data in hard drives ...
DDR4 is still nearly half the cost as DDR5 for the same capacity, with very minimal real world benefits from the speed increase. Win 11. Advise 500GB min for M.2 drive... if you install programs or games, they load faster off the M.2.
What the MAx frame hate i get with that with my serie S??? And series X???
We don't have XBox to test unfortunately. However, google search seems to confirm it will run at 1440p 120Hz for both Series S and Series X... please subscribe!

You can plug speakers directly into the headphone jack on the back of the monitor, we're using the Creative Pebble V2s which are usually around $30-40usd and sound amazing for the price, fairly powerful though Logitech has a louder, much bassier option, but sound fidelity is not the best.
