All hail the new king of 4K OLED gaming monitors, for now...
LG has nailed it with this 32-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor. It's clearly, if only marginally, best in class. And that's against some truly stellar gaming panels.Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.The new LG UltraGear 32GS95UE is not perfect. And yet it does a pretty comprehensive job of blowing every existing 32-inch 4K gaming monitor based on Samsung's QD-OLED panel tech into last month.
The idea is to provide the best of both worlds. You get both full 4K capability for ultrasharp and detailed image quality in games and which also benefits things like font rendering day to day, plus the ability to run 1080p at sky-high frame rates and ultra-low latency, just without the need to interpolate a 1080p image over a 4K panel. Doing the latter always ends up looking soft and a little blurry compared to a native 1080p monitor of the same size.
But what, then, of the actual image quality? I'll tease you no longer. Here's why this LG is better than those Samsung QD-OLEDs. First, it doesn't suffer from the slightly warm color balance of those 4K QD-OLED monitors. Second, the panel doesn't turn slightly grey in bright ambient light, again as QD-OLED panels do and thus marginally detracting from contrast performance and black levels.
Quick side note on that subject: The Dual Mode feature works slickly. There's a button on the bottom bezel you hit to jump between 4K@240 Hz and 1080p@480 Hz modes. The screen does blank out and the display will resync with your PC, but it happens fast enough. So, the big question is whether you'd mistake the 1080p mode for native 1080p on a 32-inch monitor.
