advantages of lg 32gp850-b

 Now you might ask, why doesn't LG want you to review this monitor? I'm not going to recap everything about the lg 32gp850-b from a few weeks ago, we have a full video on the subject if you're interested, but the basic recap goes like this: After we received our LG 32GP850 review sample, they Want to impose restrictions on how we test products and provide compensation for our compliance. When we declined, they asked us not to comment. Instead, we publish them because all reviewers are expected to maintain full editorial control over their independent reviewers.

Of course, following LG's initial review of the 32GP850, I was curious if the product actually had some sort of flaw, and if the review guidelines were designed to hide those flaws. This must be a dubious situation, so I'm very thorough with this review try to figure out any problems.

It's a 32-inch 1440p IPS monitor with a maximum refresh rate of 180Hz. It's essentially a larger version of the LG 27GP850, and it offers a very similar set of features, the panel uses the same LG Nano IPS technology, and it's also visually very similar. However, as we found many Using panels from the same family in the past did not guarantee the same performance in different sizes, so this will be something to explore.

There are some subtle differences in the design. The chin on the front of the 32GP850 monitor, so the part of the bezel with the LG logo under the monitor is slightly thicker than the 27GP850. Everything else is also just bigger. But we got the booth design with Prismatic and red accentuate the same use of materials, the exterior areas are mostly standard black plastic, and the rear has the same circular design.

I'm a fan of this rear design because it makes accessing the rear ports so easy. Not suitable for wall mounting, but this prevents fumbling during setup. Two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 plus several USB ports and an audio jack. HDMI port only The monitor's maximum resolution is 144Hz, so you'll need DisplayPort to access 180Hz functionality.

Display Performance

Time to look at response time performance, we tested how we wanted to test it, not how LG said we should test it. Anyway, similar to LG's other monitors, there are four performance modes, from off to faster. Let's start here, look at the shutdown mode, let's see Native panel performance without overload. As always, this isn't a mode most gamers would choose to use, but it did show an average response of 8.6ms, which is pretty good without any voltage adjustments.

 

Then we go to normal mode at 180Hz. The average response time in this mode was 7.52ms, a slight improvement in off mode, and we didn't see overshoot at this refresh rate either. A cumulative deviation result that measures the difference between the monitor's actual response The curve and ideal immediate response are also fairly stable around 500 without much overshoot. This usually indicates good motion sharpness.

Calibrated Color Performance

After full calibration, the performance improved again, exceeding the performance achievable in the OSD. Grayscale results were nicely tightened, which led to better sRGB accuracy in our color tests, with deltaE below 2.0 across the board. This is also the best way to use your monitor for wide color gamut P3 Works very well except for some inaccuracies at the outermost edges of gamut calibration performance.
