LG UltraGear 32GX850A-B 4K UHD OLED Gaming Monitor

Quality image. Best gaming monitor out there!!!!!!

I was looking to make the switch from a 27" UltraGear IPS monitor, 4k 144hz, and so I decided to get this 32" OLED 4k 240hz. The difference between them is as clear as night and day.

I think the biggest concern people have is around the matte coating. Let me reassure you that this isn't like a matte IPS coating from my previous monitor; this is still a vibrant and colourful display. None of the advantages of OLED are lost because of this coating, and in turn you can use this monitor in a lighter room without reflections and therefore makes it easier to focus on what you're playing.

Likewise, the WOLED panel means the blacks are always perfect in any light, without the raised black levels on QD-OLED panels. Given perfect blacks are the selling point of OLED, I think WOLED is the best way to protect this. As to be expected, the blacks on this monitor are stunning and perfect, everything from Windows 11 in dark mode, all the way to HDR gaming, is improved.

The 32" screen size took a few days to get used to, I have quite a small desk, but now that i'm used to it, I can immerse myself properly in games and display more content and workflow during productivity.

If you're worried about getting this monitor because of WOLED or matte (like I was) please don't be. If you give this monitor a chance, I can almost guarantee you'll love it in person.

This monitor has some great features, fantastic colour management in bright environment thanks to its WOLED panel, a dual mode functionality with 480hz refresh rate (1080p) if you are into fast paced games, and surprising good built- in speakers. All beside a slick design and solid construction.

There are, however, few limitations that really lowered my experience with this device. Firstly a really limited colour setting, especially in HDR mode, a bare bone connection interface (no USB type C nor KVM), too basic for today's standards, and a truly annoying multiple monitor management (even adding another LG monitor) that makes this device stick to the lower refresh rate with no options to change that in the monitor's OSD, LG's on- screen application, Windows and Nvidia panel, so when this happens you are pretty much prompted to restart your computer in order to bring it back its standard refresh.
