A MASSIVE dissapointment. Quite the DUD
on April 29, 2025
Posted by: Rockstar345
from chicago, IL
I am so dissapointed in this monitor. I have a loaded PC that can run anything. First of all, the color out of the box was not calibrated great. When I finally got that done, I was really dissapointed with the refresh rate flicker. I did all the tricks and checked every troubleshooting topic. As I type this thing fliickers once about every 10 seconds. My Asus 5090 is fine, my board is fine, everything is updated. I am RUNNING to the store tomorrow to return this monitor. Why didn't you wait LG until you could do 240 hz on a DP 2.1 UBHR 20? Where is the QD Led screen. SOOOO MANY THINGS have gone wrong in less than 3 days. Going with the MSI MPG322URX, while I'm going down in size I know that i won't have to worry and the display will be worth just as much as the GPU running it, which this is not. I own all LG Oled tv's and I thought this woudl be better.

Poor HDR Brightness…
on April 27, 2025
Posted by: Anon77
This monitor is being intentionally held back in maximum brightness in HDR during the 10% APL highlights. The Windows HDR calibration tool clips/maxes out at ~600 nits instead of around 800 nits. PG32UCDP monitor is able to achieve 800 nits in the 10% APL. In addition, vignetting is turned on by default and should not be on at all. This monitor needs a firmware, asap, to address low HDR brightness and to permanently disable CPC/vignetting.

Truly end-game panel
on April 22, 2025
Posted by: beebo278914
from Reno, NV
This is the best monitor I have ever used. In a desktop setting, everything is crisp and clear. I have a fairly deep desk so I don't have to crane my neck. I use HDMI 2.1, which works for me. Not sure why people even bother to use DP 2.1 when HDMI 2.1 works perfectly well for this style of display.
In games, holy crap. This thing rules. Playing games at 5k 165hz is an incredible experience. Add the HDR to it and it's even better. Baldur's Gate 3 never looked so good. I can't really tell the difference between 165 and 330 in games like rocket league, so I don't really bother with the dual mode, although that might be a selling point for some. The only criticism I've seen of the dual mode is that it does not perfectly scale, which it should be able to; going from 5120x2160 to 2560x1080 should mean that the pixels scale perfectly, but there is some fringing. See Optimum's review on youtube for more details.

The best LG monitor for the best games! Nothing beats playing a great game like Baldur's Gate 3 like enjoying the lush wilderness of Act I, or even admiring the darker themes in Act II. We know that immersion is next level, and it makes you feel like you're actually in Faerun! We also appreciate you sharing your feedback with us about the dual-mode feature, and we'd be happy to offer this link (https://tinyurl.com/234h56zn), which may improve its picture quality, even if by a little. We'd love to hear what else you've been enjoying about your monitor on social media at @LGUSSupport. Looking forward to hearing from you! ❤*Josh

DisplayPort 2.1 in HDR does not work !!! Support says you need to configure something in the settings. Are you serious ??? For this money, everything should work for me without any headache!

Thanks for leaving us a review Vitalii_Korets! Getting your monitor configured properly ensures the best performance for entertainment, work, or home use, and we’re happy to provide guidance! First, check that your DisplayPort version is set to 1.2 by navigating to the Monitor Settings Menu. If you’re using Windows, enable HDR in your Display Settings, and make sure your graphics card is HDR-compatible and properly configured. Updating your graphics drivers can also help prevent potential issues. Lastly, restart your monitor after making these adjustments to ensure everything is applied. If you need further assistance, send us a DM through social media @LGUSSupport with your contact details, and we’d be happy to take a closer look! 💙 ^Anthony

Beautiful Monitor
on April 19, 2025
Posted by: Blacksad999
Fantastic monitor that checks all of the boxes.
Great image quality, high refresh rate, multiple resolution options and features, 1300 nit peak HDR, large format, and amazing PPI.
Incredibly immersive for gaming, and the built in split screen and multi input options are great for productivity.
My only concern was the 800r curvature, but when you're sat in front of the monitor, it just wraps around your field of vision and the curve isn't noticeable.
Highly recommended. Best monitor on the market currently as of Q1 2025 hands down.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re beyond excited to hear that your LG monitor is ticking all the boxes—from stunning image quality and refresh rate to productivity-boosting features like split screen and multi-input. We know 800R curvature can sound a bit intense on paper, so it’s awesome to hear it melts away when you're in the zone, delivering that ultra-immersive feel—especially for gaming! Thanks for sharing your experience, and if you ever want to show off your setup or have questions, we’re just a message away @LGUSSupport. Cheers to gaming on and staying productive! ^Joslyn

Incredibly immersive monitor
on April 19, 2025
Posted by: Frankie25
from Houston, Tx.
Incredibly immersive monitor. The 800r curve is incredible as it wraps arounds your field of view. Definitely an improvement over the G9 oled I had. My only complain it's the matte coating it's definitely not as good as a glossy one, and it's a bit blurry in light colors (looking at the sky in games).
Other than that it's an amazing monitor, I just wish it was glossy.

Allow us to permanently disable CPC/Vignetting
on April 17, 2025
Posted by: LG45GX950A
Allow us to permanently disable CPC/Vignetting on the monitor. When going in the service menu and turning off CPC, you get a HUGE brightness boost on the edges of the screen, however once you turn off the monitor the vignetting is back, forcing you to go back into the service menu to disable it... There's absolutely no reason why vignetting should be enabled on the monitor by default.
