LG Gaming Monitor Review - 32GQ950

On this episode of Create Consume Repeat I’ll be unboxing the much anticipated LG - UltraGear 32 Inch 4K UHD Nano IPS monitor. Model number LG 32GQ950-B.

If you’re into high-end PC gaming you already know how difficult it is to find a 32-inch monitor that delivers 4K resolution, outstanding color accuracy, proper HDR, a high refresh rate and supports modern IO standards like HDMI 2.1.

I love this monitor!!! 1 week in. No eye strain at all. No headaches. Looks great. Buttery smooth at 120 fps. Backlight is a nice touch. 32 inch is perfect. 27 inch monitors feels a tad small. Had to turn the red color saturation down. But that’s it . I’m ready for the tidal wave of games coming October-March

I just bought one from Amazon since it was on sale for Now I’m just watching YouTube videos hyping up my purchase until it gets here lol. Everyone agrees it’s a gorgeous picture. I’m literally playing on a 10 year old VIzio 1080p 60 inch tv so this is gonna be a massive upgrade.

This monitor looks great, I'll be getting mine soon.

Any good Mini Led is wayy too expensive and an OLED TV is too big for my desk, also I don't want the stress of having to worry about burn in on an OLED from using it with my PC either.

[NedimTabakovic]

This IPS has one of the best panels in term of backlight bleed and glow...

Please compare this to other 32" options that can be used for gaming / graphic and photo editing.

I think there are a lot of designer-gamers out there, and that's very much an untapped YouTube reviewer market. Jump on it if you can.

Great work

Just copped one and can’t wait, I’m coming from a Asus VG27VQ

Sony dropped a ball making that monitor 27inch.

Bought this monitor from second hand for around 530, even less like 527, only one owner and he used it to play Ps5 casually, how did I do?

[pedrog]

Screen looks beautiful to game but can I also add my MacBook Pro ? Is it good for productivity. Can I have a gaming pc and mbp work together ?

[mikemorales]

Great review and video. Have you try mounting the monitor? And if so what wall mount or desk arm mount do you recommend for this specific monitor? Thanks

I have the 32 inch lg ultra gear 1440p and it is the best. For 4k 144hz its looking like this one is going to be the one too in its category. LG is the best when it comes uniform approaches to their monitors. It sure as hell isn’t oled but not everyone wants an oled for the very obvious reasons.

[Dchopra]

Btw for the monitor the gloss parts on the sides get scratched easily I’m looking for ways to remove it or to cover it so it doesn’t get scratched more

Thank you for this video, but you told us at 4'17" 'this includes full tilt height and pivot support via the standard LG monitor' so far I have readed, there is no 'pivot support' with this monitor, I still hope it's possible?

Best 32" 16:9 IPS 4K with bright 500 nits SDR brightness and real 1000 nits with HDR on (10bit and 12bit) but not enough back-light zones for real HDR, while still being the best HDR IPS @ 32" on the market in 2022. Trust me, I've researched for half a year to reach this conclusion. 🤖

I noticed with black stabilizer that the normal whitish blooming is more blueish which looks much better in my opinion. How is it gaming in a dark room? How hot does it get?

[JeffdaHeff]

Another great, informative video! Looks like a pretty snazzy monitor!

[BillyBets]

Really on the fence about selling my LG 34GP83A for this monitor.. I love the ultrawide when I'm playing single player PC games, or the real estate for working but I primarily game on my PS5 or play Warzone (prefer 16:9) and I HATE having to have black bars on the side. Any thoughts? I know they're very different monitors

Deciding between this monitor and Acer x32FP… been waiting to upgrade my current 4k60 hdr1000 monitor

[alexgmrs]

Sweet video, thanks for putting it together. I just cannot understand the lack of USB-C ports

[aks]

How is the hdr brightness..does it reach 1000 nits..
