32GN650-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 32-Inch QHD (2560 x 1440) Display 165Hz Refresh Rate 1ms MBR HDR 10 sRGB 95% Color Gamut AMD FreeSync - Black

MY STORY: I am someone who works in software development, and my favorite pastime is playing video games. I had a disastrous experience with Gigabyte. I owned the Gigabyte M27Q IPS monitor, which was good initially, but as I used it more, I realized that 27 inches was too small for my needs. So, I decided to buy a 32-inch curved monitor from the same brand, specifically the Gigabyte M32QC. At that time, I didn't read reviews because I thought, "It's Gigabyte, a reputable brand, nothing bad can happen." Unfortunately, the worst did happen. The M32QC had backlight bleeding, excessively pale colors, FreeSync caused pulsing while gaming, and worst of all, it had unbearable ghosting accompanied by smearing. I know all VA panels have ghosting, but this specific Gigabyte model's ghosting was intolerable—whether in Off/Picture/Balanced modes, ghosting with smearing persisted. The only way to reduce it was to max out Gamma and set the black equalizer to 13, but this made black colors look grayish-green, and the ghosting with smearing remained prominent. I tried to get used to it but couldn't. This experience made me realize I'm sensitive to ghosting. What happened to that monitor? Luckily, I was able to return it and get a refund. I went back to using the M27Q for a few more months, but again, everything looked too small. So, I decided I needed a 32-inch monitor with at least 1440p resolution, and this time it had to be good. Initially, I wanted to buy the Gigabyte M32Q because it was 32 inches, flat, IPS, with a great price and obviously no ghosting. However, that monitor was no longer available, so I had to look at other brands. I considered IPS monitors, but 32-inch models from reputable brands didn't fit my budget. Therefore, I looked for a monitor with an excellent VA panel, this time reading reviews. I started with AOC and found they had terrible monitors with severe ghosting. Gigabyte released new models but still had the same awful ghosting. Samsung was excellent but too expensive. Then I remembered LG, which I had overlooked. I looked at the available 32-inch models and their reviews and couldn't believe it—high-quality VA panels, no pulsing, minimal ghosting (which I'll detail in the "Analysis" section), vivid colors, and affordable prices. So, I chose the 32GN650-B because it fit my budget and had the features I needed. ANALYSIS: Let's break it down: 1) GHOSTING. If you've read my story, you'll know I'm very sensitive to ghosting and couldn't afford to buy another monitor with that problem. The LG 32GN650-B does have ghosting, but don't worry, it's very minimal, almost imperceptible. When it is noticeable, it doesn't bother you; it looks natural. Out of the box, it did have some noticeable ghosting (though nothing like the disastrous Gigabyte M32QC), but I was able to reduce it significantly just by changing the response time from "Fast" to "Faster." That reduces it by about 99%, and if you combine it with the "Gamer 2" profile, you get a clear image. You might notice ghosting only in very dark areas, but it's tolerable to the point that you forget it's there. I've extensively tested it with deep black content, and I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10 for this aspect, because while there's still some ghosting, it's very minimal. 2) FREESYNC. I've tested it with both low and high FPS, and I can confirm FreeSync works even at 30fps, it's incredible and doesn't have pulsing. The experience is similar to an IPS panel. I should mention I tested this feature using the DisplayPort cable that came in the box. I haven't tested it with HDMI cables. From what I've read, this technology doesn't work with the PS5 on this monitor because it requires HDMI 2.1 compatibility, whereas this monitor has HDMI 2.0. However, it should work fine with the Xbox Series S|X. 3) COLORS. I tried all the presets but preferred "Gamer 2" because it offers brightness and color levels that suit my preferences. This aspect is subjective, but in my opinion, the colors are excellent. Also, the monitor operates at 10 bits across all resolutions and refresh rates. 4) STAND. The stand is of very good quality—it's heavy, which is good, and allows height adjustment, tilt, and 360-degree rotation. I couldn't ask for more from this stand. 10/10. 5) RESOLUTION AND HZ. Many might say "1440p on a 32-inch monitor is too little; better go for 4k or a 27-inch QHD." They have a point, as many brands don't handle 1440p well on 32-inch monitors. However, I can confirm that on this 32GN650-B model, 1440p looks VERY SHARP. I haven't had issues with scanlines, even when I've lowered it to 60Hz. I've tested it by reducing the resolution to 1080p, and it still looks good. No complaints there. Combined with the 165Hz refresh rate this monitor offers, the image looks spectacular. 6) HDR. This is the only negative aspect of this monitor, it's very underwhelming with dull colors. While HDR adds value to monitors, it's not essential for an excellent experience. Personally, I don't consider it in my evaluation. It's bad, but it doesn't influence my overall opinion. CONCLUSION: If you're looking for a 32-inch, 1440p monitor with a good refresh rate, FreeSync, a solid stand, and minimal ghosting (almost imperceptible), look no further. This is the monitor you've been searching for.

I was reading into the bottleneck issue on the ps5 graphics capabilities and monitor/screen selection. I really wasn’t sure because I know the ps5 is hdmi 2.1 compatible as well. So I was torn between this screen and perhaps a more expensive one with 2.1 hdmi capabilities vs hdmi 2.0. I’ll be Frank, the screen is amazing. 2k is giving me amazing frame rates on all the major games and the clarity, frame rate is night and day difference. I am playing modern warfare 2- war zone on ps5 with superb vision and responsiveness. Along with a lot of other demanding games. I have no complaints for this price point and really recommend it as honestly with 4K on a ps5 the best you’re gonna get is 60 hz and that juice isn’t worth the squeeze. My days of building pc gaming rigs are long behind me and I really don’t feel like spending a grand alone at minimum to get a fast graphics card and paying the costs to get something worth while in the pc gaming world. I work on computers anyways all day ripping away at Salesforce and there really has to be something said about the simplicity of a vanilla console that gets such performance for the price. This screen does work great with the ps5 just make sure you get a good hdmi 2.0 cable for it and enjoy. You’re really not gonna be disappointed with this screen from LG. They really do make some amazing products sometimes. Sure not all. I have noticed specifically in my experience their screens have been great for the price and always tended to punch above their lower price point vs others. If you are on a console you really don’t need anything else.

I will start off by letting you all know this was my very first monitor purchase ever. I have played on PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I have also played on the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and now the Xbox X. I do own both systems currently. I owned the PS5 for about a year and recently have purchased the Xbox X. I greatly enjoy the Xbox X over the PS5. Here are my takes after playing 2 hours worth of Call of Duty MW3 (2023) for the first time on this monitor. (Again, I’ve never owned one before.) PROS - Lightweight Great packing Good quality feeling product Easy Set up Great picture quality Adjustable CONS- No remote to control settings (has a little button which would be fine but see the next con) Absolutely no instruction manual for operating the monitor And that’s it. I played 7 games of COD. One game of TD and 6 games of SnD. I went positive 6-7 games. 1st game (TD) 19-19 2nd game (SnD) 10-4 3rd game (SnD) 5-6 4th game (SnD) 15-5 5th game (SnD) 8-4 6th game (SnD) 7-7 7th game (SnD) 10-5 I’m just showing you these because normally it’s hard for me to do on the 75 in LG tv. This LG monitor has improved my gameplay like crazy and I will only be playing on it from now on. :) UPDATE: It’s still going strong and still really enjoy it. It was definitely one of my best purchases in 2023. My k/d is now over 2.0 and I’m have a blast playing CDL on it. Again, don’t hesitate on switching to a monitor it’s well worth it.

This is a decent 2K 144 Hz gaming monitor. Let me explain: I say 144 Hz and not the specified 165 Hz because, although it is certainly capable, trying to game at 165 Hz introduces horrible blur and increases latency for some weird reason; but it works well at 144 Hz, which is all you really need (ergo, good, not great). The 2K picture looks crisp, and my gaming experience coming from 22 inch 1080p has improved significantly. However there is a horrible (and I really mean horrible!) shadow on the vertical edges, specially annoying when trying to use the vertical scroll bar, to the point it deforms the image and gives you a headache, so once again good, not great. I guess for the money it is OK, but I was expecting more from LG. A bit disappointed to be completely honest.

A lot of research went into this purchase. I had a 43" LG 4K tv (43UJ6300) that served me well for several years. It was a smart TV that I purchased in 2017. It developed several problems recently (wifi quit, constant disconnects from internet with lan cable, and color problems in the panel recently. I decided to replace this with a monitor to use with my gaming pc, Xbox Series X and Playstation 5. After using the TV I realized that 43" is just too big to use at an office desk. In the interim I had access to a Asus ROG PG279. This is an excellent monitor that has built in g-sync tech. I was using this exclusively for my PC until recently. It only had one HDMI port and limited my console use until I bought a small avedio 4K hdmi switch (3 port auto switching). I realized that 1440p is a perfect resolution to use with my msi 1080ti DUKE and 32" is a great size for my desk. Let me just say that I have loved this new monitor so far. I have my Xbox, PS5, and PS3 hooked to my hdmi switch as well as my PC hooked to this new monitor via Display Port. Just letting everyone know that the xbox series x, playstation 5 both output 4K and downscale to 1440p with absolutely no problems and the image is great (very satisfying). The free sync is working flawlessly with my pc and msi1080ti. I love the fact that I can just turn on each device and the monitor comes on and works flawlessly. The colors and brightness of this panel are great. I love the 32" size also. I read so many conflicting reviews about what this monitor will and will not do. It does everything that I need excellently. I decided on LG again due to image quality and price. I got this monitor for $336. I have also seen it on slick deals for $297 recently. I am impressed with the HDR also. It is my first real experience with a screen that represents HDR well. I know that you can spend much more and get better HDR but I decided against that. My other considerations were a better Asus ROG and a Samsung G7. I am very impressed so far. Feel free to ask questions about this LG Ultagear. I'll do my best to help.

Perfect for business or gaming Love this monitor in fact I bought three

At first I was skeptical because this is a VA monitor, and Ive had issue before, but I can easily say this is the best gaming monitor Ive ever owned! The colors are incredible, the 1:3000 contrast gives deep blacks without smearing (just need to tweak a few monitor settings like the built in black stabilizer, 60 is the setting I think is best after some tinkering) and the monitor has this really great finish which makes the picture more pleasant on the eyes, especially in games with high fidelity graphics) I haven't noticed any flickering, and as for adjustment, it can move up and down a good amount, tilt, but not side to side. Overall highly recommend if you are looking for a high quality gaming monitor.

I was surprised this had no reviews when I bought it and normally I'm a bit more cautious about a product with no reviews but this is essentially a 32GK650f but with 165hz. Everything I could find on this monitor said it has a 1.2 DP but I'm pretty sure it's 1.4 cause I didn't think 1.2 could hit 165hz. It also has 1.4 as an option in the settings under DP version. Not sure if that means anything and it probably doesn't but it does run at 165hz. The HDR is pretty worthless but I also didn't buy it for that and wouldn't advise anyone else to either. Please do not get this monitor if you're gaming on a PS5 or Xbox thinking it will give you all the features listed. As with any monitor, it's limited by the hardware you're using. Mine doesn't have any dead pixels or image issues I've encountered so far. The picture is OK out of the box but it's a little bright for my taste and the reds were more orange but that's nothing messing in the settings didn't fix. The stand is mostly metal and solid but big but I also don't have a very wide desk. Overall I'm really happy with it.

Muy buen monitor tiene hdr10 Es resolución 2k la máxima del Xbox series s Corre a 120hz muy fluido listo para las nuevas consolas El tamaño adecuado para jugar es de 32 pulgadas Diseño muy gamer

الشاشة ما شاء الله دقتها ممتازة والالوان فيها جداً ممتازة ولا تتردد ابد انك تشتريها وتدعم 120 فريم 2k على سوني 5 ،، السلبيات انها تاخذ مساحة كبيره بالطاولة وال HDR فيها ماش ، بس هذي السلبيات الوحيدة 👍🏼

Lo único que perdería es que tratarán de blindar más los productos que salen de aduana, ya van 2 productos que no me llegan, y las cajas llegan en mal estado, pero todo perfecto 👌

Tiene muy buen brillo, en juegos la imagen se ve nítida y con excelente fluidez, una excelente opción para una tarjeta de video de gama media. Aunque no es 4K la verdad es que tiene una resolución excelente y de acuerdo a su tamaño
