About this deal

LG medical monitors come equipped with an array of functions to assist sharp and well managed medical treatment. The accurate diagnosis gets achieved with the top-notch image display that produces precise tissue level details to encourage the medical anatomy.

Alternatively, you can use LG’s On-Screen Control or UltraGear Control Center desktop applications to make the adjustments via your keyboard/mouse. So I have had the Lg 32GQ950 for a week now. Some initial thoughts and hopefully some points that might help some people on making a decision. As for the M27U, it's very similar to the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQR as it's also excellent for gaming, but there are some minor differences. It has less HDMI 2.1 bandwidth than the ASUS, as it only supports 24 Gbps of bandwidth compared to 48 Gbps on the ASUS. This doesn't make a big difference, as you can still reach its max 160Hz refresh rate with 4k signals, but your graphics card needs to use compression for those signals. It can negatively impact picture quality, but it isn't a significant difference. Moving on, the LG 32GQ950 monitor has a wide color gamut covering 98% of the DCI-P3 color space for vibrant and saturated colors. With an LG computer monitor you’ll discover cutting-edge display technology and slim designs, from our dazzling LED and LCD monitors, which offer state-of-the-art display and features. You’ll get a new outlook on life with monitors and other computer monitors from LG.For full screen sustained brightness the 32GQ950 is a decent monitor offering 650 nits of brightness, which is similar to other products but not as good as the best LCDs. Peak flash brightness increases to 1175 nits, which is very good. 10% window brightness sits around 1000 nits too, so again this display is very much capable of the 1000 nits it advertises. The difference between sustained and peak brightness is typically around 400 nits at or below 25% window sizes, while the gap closes at smaller windows to the point where there's not much difference. For the best gaming experience with a 4k monitor, you'll want something with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take full advantage of HDMI 2.1 sources, like the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the latest graphics cards. It's also important to consider the monitor's response time for smooth motion and low input lag for a responsive feel, but most monitors have low input lag anyway. This monitor has impressive factory calibration for greyscale. LG has made a noticeable effort to ship the monitor with a 6500K white point and sRGB gamma out of the box, which leads to excellent deltaE numbers. Default SDR performance is only let down by an unclamped color gamut rather than a restriction to sRGB, which leads to some oversaturation. With that said this is one of the more accurate oversaturated results, if that's a thing. The best 4k gaming monitor we've tested is the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85, a fantastic gaming monitor with a 4k @ 240Hz refresh rate. While you still need a high-end graphics card to reach its max refresh rate, it's at least a good choice if you plan on upgrading your PC and don't want to buy a new monitor in the future. However, if you don't want such a high refresh rate, you can consider the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75, a very similar monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate instead, which also tends to cost less. For general screen uniformity the 32GQ950 is above average though standard LCD issues appear like a bit of falloff around the edges, and a slight color tint difference between different areas on the display. A good result, though this can vary from unit to unit. HDR Performance

Like many other LCDs in this segment, this is a versatile display that is great for gaming, productivity, content creation and basic PC tasks. Excellent text clarity, above average factory calibration, minimal IPS glow due to the ATW polarizer, and it's a nice flat panel with good brightness. In my opinion, the 32GQ950 does have a single overdrive mode experience, and both the Normal and Fast modes would qualify for this. Variable overdrive would have taken it to the next level if it could combine the benefits of both modes, but realistically the two options we do have both provide a great experience. The Normal mode had slightly lower cumulative deviation on average across the refresh range, and in my opinion looks similar to the Fast mode but with less overshoot artifacts, so it's the mode I'd choose. But if you have a preference for speed, the Fast mode is also decent. We do like the rear design used by LG, we've never been fans of "gamer" designs, but we feel LG is creating a subtle but still gaming look that we quite like. The flat plastic section has a nice pattern integrated into the design, and the angular raised bit is flanked on either side by RGB LED lighting that's integrated well. The front is pretty barebones with standard bezels around the panel. The monitor uses matte anti-glare coating which isn't the best, it reflects more than the average amount of diffuse lighting, but depending on your setup this might not be an issue.

Broaden Your True View

On average across the refresh range the 32GQ950 performs well. While it is a mid-table performer using the Normal setting, it has exceptionally low overshoot. It's roughly 50% faster than older 32-inch 4K monitors like the Asus PG32UQ and MSI MPG321UR-QD, while also delivering less overshoot, so that's an excellent result. All of the monitors that beat it in response times have higher overshoot, except OLEDs, of course, and if we had used the Fast mode instead of Normal mode it would have come close to matching the Neo G7. There's also an annoying automatic standby setting which will turn the display off after 4 hours regardless of what is happening, and that's enabled by default. We wondered why sometimes the 32GQ950 would randomly turn off and we thought it was a firmware issue, but it turns out it's just this setting, which we recommend you to disable. Display Performance The monitor even supports hardware calibration, so pairing it with a decent colorimeter will make sense for any serious colorist anyway. At the rear of the monitor, there’s a hexagon RGB LED pattern that can glow in 21 different colors and various patterns. However, unlike LG’s previous RGB implementations (Sphere Lighting), it cannot be synchronized with on-screen video and audio.
