[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely outstanding monitor. Took me a bit to get used to the curved design but love it now. So clear and bright. Just bought a new 75" tv so I needed to replace my old 32" tv I was using for a monitor.
Pros: Quality, Performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my review of the LG 32-inch curved monitor. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised from the moment the box arrived, it was perfectly packaged and nothing was broken when I took it apart. The stand of the monitor was easy to install, but it did leave a bit to be desired as it is entirely plastic and doesn't feel like quality plastic. Please note that this specific stand does not move nor tilt. So if you prefer or want to move the monitor around, you may want to buy an external dock and affix it to that.
The monitor itself is outstanding and it packs a punch. Given the size and the curvature of the monitor, you can cover a lot of ground, whether you are streaming a movie or catching up on your favorite blog - this monitor excels! The 100hz refresh rate keeps things butter-smooth, so that was a great upgrade from my previous monitor. I currently use the monitor to keep up with my family and friends with social media, and also continue writing my blogs.
I love the fact that it has built-in speakers, makes my set-up that much streamlined and I love a clean desk, so that was def a plus!
Another small criticism about the monitor is that the power button and pretty much the only button (to do all of the configuration) is awkwardly placed behind the monitor, it would have been much better to place it at the bottom. Since it is so large, it just makes for an awkward reach.
I still recommend this monitor to someone looking for a little bit more ground to cover, has great built-in speakers, and backed by a known company with a respectable warranty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From unboxing to actually using the LG 32" FHD Curved monitor (HUGE!!) took us maybe all of 5 minutes. The screen is large, but it really doesn't come across as being oversized on your desk. I found out this is because they use a technology called "3-Side Virtually Borderless Display". If you look at my pic you can see that the bezel is just on the bottom! It looks so nice and sleek! It is plug and play. I have not changed any settings because I found that the out of the box settings were perfect for my needs. My old monitor was so old that I required several adapters to connect it to my computer. This monitor has a few onboard ports which allowed us to connect easily and quickly.
The only "hiccup" we ran into was trying to find the power button. It's tucked neatly out of the way. I quickly realized this was a pro when I had to adjust the monitor and was glad I did not hit the power/toggle button. It was perfectly placed.
The base is solid and attached easily. I don't foresee any issues with the sturdiness of the base. Like I said, physically adjusting the monitor was easy. I did not have to mess around with drivers on my Win11 desktop.
I did not need any time to adjust to a curved monitor. The curved display was nice and clear. It has a 100hz refresh rate. My previous monitor, I think it had a negative refresh rate, it was so old. We tested it with normal browsing, streaming videos and surfing the internet. I opened up some documents as well. For all, I dragged the window around and around and didn't notice any drag. The 100hz refresh rate is prefect for my needs. I had no issues with blurriness. The 32" FHD curved screen is huge enough that I can have AT LEAST two windows open at the same time! I am just an average user who uses the monitor to work from home and surf the web. We have played Roblox, Minecraft, a ton of graphic heavy seek games (somewhat point and click) and Fortnight. All were sharp and clear.
For me, this monitor was absolute perfection. I recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a new monitor, this one should be one you check out. At 32", it is quite large. Especially when it comes to monitors, which you usually sit closer to than your standard living room TV, this one makes you go "oh wow".
To balance out the size, the image is nice and crisp. Pair that with the 100Hz refresh rate and you have a really nice product that will likely be a step-up from most home setups. The one thing that I'm not the biggest fan of, however, is that this monitor makes several beep sounds when you power down the outlet it is plugged into (if your setup is like that). That can be a bit atypical from other monitors.
Also, the power button can be easy to overlook. It is on the rear-right side of the monitor if you are facing the screen. The monitor also has one "button" to control all the monitor adjustments. It flexes in all directions, which allow you to move between different adjustment settings.
I am very happy, overall, with this monitor and my family has enjoyed being able to use it to watch shows, work and play on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am pleased with this monitor. I use it with my laptop for my office work espexially when creating slides or analyzing data and an added monitor of this size is very helpful. And when watching training videos the great refresh rate helps enjoy seamless viewing experience. The curvature and dimensions are perfect for enhanced viewing. The display in itself is great. The curvature further complements the size. It's easier now to read 2 documents on split screen . The colors appear so clear it's lovely to work on PowerPoint slides or fun photo meme edits.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG 32 inch FHD curved monitor is quite a big monitor. It has a decent amount of real estate but it cut down by its small resolution. The monitor itself is quite large for a 32in monitor. It is taller than most and the height is not adjustable but can swivel. The resolution is quite small with a lower ppi than expected. This hurts the sharpness a bit but it is not extremely pixelated. The icons and images are much bigger on the screen. The curvature does make it a bit more immersive experience though only if you sit and face it straight on. The color is okay and the refresh rate does make a difference. The picture is smoother though not pixelated. This is especially noticable when you turn the refresh above 70 Hz with a maximum of 100Hz depending on the video card. Even though the image was not pixelated, it just was not very sharp. I would recommend it if you need a big screen. It also takes a minute to get used to the single button navigation button behind the screen. I use this screen to watch videos and play occasional games. The high refresh rate does make it a more enjoyable experience.

I am simply awestruck by the dimension, resolution color, and capabilities of my new LG monitor. The colors are just so vivid it goes beyond regular HD. The refresh rate is standing even when I’m doing flight simulator it’s seamless it flows like water. The curvature of the screen makes you immersed into the scenario whatever you’re doing work or play I can’t believe I went years without this type of monitor, and to have landed. An LG monitor with this capability is humbling and greatly appreciated.
