Size

The diagonal is the number used to describe the size of the screen. The most popular sizes are 24 and 27 inch screens.
Response Time (GTG)

The time it takes for a pixel to change from one shade of gray to the next. A low response time provides faster response to our actions (input lag) and a cleaner image (less ghosting) which are important in gaming. Response times below 5ms are considered acceptable, but for gaming, monitors with 1ms are recommended.
Connection Type

DisplayPort

Modern way of digital transfer of image, sound and data, compatible with HDMI and DVI cables through an adapter.

HDMI

The type of connection used by popular gaming consoles such as Playstation 4/5, Xbox X/S, Nintendo Switch, etc. (Support for HDMI 2.1 is required for high fps and 4K resolutions.)
Refresh Rate

Refers to how many times the screen image is refreshed per second. Screens with a high refresh rate offer a competitive advantage as their image is clearer (less motion blur).

2. Typically, for office applications and simple gaming, 60-75Hz is common. In recent years, screens with 120, 144, and even 240Hz have emerged, mainly aimed at competitive gaming.
Type

The technology used by the screen to display the image.

VA

Screens with VA panels offer high refresh rates and contrast with vivid colors, as well as slightly shorter response times compared to TN. Suitable for movies and casual gaming.

Description

Immersive gaming experience

LG's monitor is ideal for those looking for a quality gaming monitor. It powers the new era of gaming experience on consoles with 4K HDR resolution, delivering unprecedented thrills with satisfying picture and sound, but also helping you win more battles thanks to AMD FreeSync, Dynamic Action Sync and Black Stabilizer.

Incredible speed that drives you to victory

1ms MBR

MBR 1ms (Motion Blur Reduction) contributes to smooth play, reducing blur and reflections. Dynamic and fast-moving objects on the field where the action takes place give players a competitive edge.

Natural and fast motion

AMD FreeSync

With AMD FreeSync technology, gamers can enjoy seamless, smooth motion in high-resolution action games. It essentially reduces screen distortion and flicker.

React faster to opponents

Dynamic Action Sync

Dynamic Action Sync minimises data input latency so the player can capture every moment in real time.

Attack first in the darkness

Black Stabilizer

The player can avoid snipers hiding in the darkest places and quickly escape from situations when they see the flash.

Enjoy 4K and HDR content

HDR content from multi-streaming services. The result is more realistic, with vivid, wide-spectrum colors when you play games on your LG UHD 4K monitor with HDR10 technology and DCI-P3 90% (standard) color gamut support.

Easy and clean design

The one-click base facilitates installation without the need for other equipment. You can flexibly adjust the tilt of the large screen to place it in the optimal position for you.

Aesthetically, the monitor is beautiful with small bezels and its features are impressive: 4K, 31.5", HDR, etc. However, the reality is that it is a highly economical monitor and this inevitably brings several problems.

Pros:
+ Low price compared to the competition
+ Good resolution and detail
+ Very good blacks
+ Average speakers (but still good to have)
+ User-friendly menu that allows you to adjust many things and find the perfect balance in the image. Although there are mixed opinions about the joystick, I found it particularly user-friendly.
+ Performs well on PS5, Xbox Series X thanks to its 4ms response time, contrast, colors (which require adjustment and tweaking), and AMD FreeSync at 2 levels.
+ Sufficient ports for connectivity: DisplayPort, 2x HDMI, 3.5mm audio out
+ Beautiful design with small bezels

Cons:
- HDR is slightly non-existent
- Colors are somewhat washed out and you will spend quite some time adjusting them to find the acceptable ones for you.
- Build quality is mediocre but acceptable
- Viewing angles are not the best
- Not particularly good for computer work, especially graphic design, etc.

P.S. If you are coming from a lower resolution and technology monitor, it will feel like day and night. However, it is still a budget VA panel.

Friendly advice, if you are satisfied with a basic gaming 4K monitor without anything exceptional, it might suit you. If you want something more efficient, invest a bit more and buy something of higher quality, especially if you spend hours working on the computer. It definitely does its job well as a budget monitor, but don't expect something that will amaze you.

It performs well on PS5 if someone adjusts the settings enough, but in terms of productivity, it doesn't meet my expectations. It produces a good image from a distance of 1-1.5m, but not so much up close. Nevertheless, it is particularly more economical than other 32-inch monitors, providing 4K resolution with relatively nice image quality and mediocre build quality. Its major drawbacks are the non-existent HDR and not-so-great viewing angles

The screen is the latest model of 2020 in the VA panel category from LG and has been upgraded in terms of brightness to 350 cd/m2 instead of the previous 300. This alone makes the colors brighter and look amazing. However, it has a lower certification with DCI-P3 at 90% instead of the previous models' 95%. This is only a problem for professional photographers, graphic designers, etc., who wouldn't be looking at this panel category anyway. As for the viewing angle, it's not terrible like TN panels, but not perfect like IPS panels either. In general, there is a slight color fading at an angle, but that's about it. This phenomenon is more noticeable on Xbox, while it's harder to distinguish on Windows. Despite my concerns about VA panels, as my previous screens were IPS, I can confidently say that if you're not a professional in need of perfect color reproduction, IPS panels are overpriced, while VA panels offer more value for money. When comparing contrast and black levels, this VA panel easily outperforms IPS panels.
The screen works perfectly with the Xbox, playing 4K@60Hz and HDR in games that support it.
Its stand is sturdy and beautiful. The speakers play loudly and well, but there is a lack of bass, which is something we notice in all screens with built-in speakers. The speakers only work on the Xbox, not on the PC. You can connect the screen with 2 HDMI and 1 DP, maintaining the color mode you have selected for each input port. In the menu, you can find several color options, satisfying even the most demanding user.
Design-wise, the screen is stunning with very slim bezels, and it definitely deserves its price and the upgrade from 1080p and two 23-inch screens to 2160p and two 32-inch screens at a price that I would have paid for a 32-inch IPS 4K panel. I am extremely satisfied with my choice and would definitely recommend it to someone who wants to do office work and browsing, while connecting it to a console provides an immersive experience.
P.S. After installing Windows 11, the speakers also work from the computer!!!
