32 inch 1440p eSports/Creative monitor - LG UltraGear 32GQ850-B

[@BijanJamshidi]

Hi everyone. Today I realized I've stopped doing something I used to do which I thought was very valuable, which is comparing monitors. At this point all I do is talk about the monitor I'm reviewing with some tiny comparisons here and there. Why did I stop? I don't know. It's not like I just stopped because it was a lot of work, or to make a monitor look better. It's just something that faded away from my mind and I never realized it until just now when uploading this video. I didn't even want to make it public after realizing, but I guess this'll still help someone so I'm posting it anyway. I'll make sure I'll start doing that again because otherwise you won't know how this truly compares.

[@freelancer1499]

Glad to see u back dude. You are unique too in your insights with your previous tryhard comp gamer background. Love your content, pls keep them coming!

[@bootifulghost8624]

It is sad to hear that, Sir. You are the Jtwocents of the displays. I had my MSI MAG274QRF based on your outstanding review. Maybe it faded from you because you did not have the enormous response you deserved. And meanwhile, TONS of work is needed to create such content. A bit frustrating. I hope you will be back soon. Good Luck. Take care!

Yay, we are back to monitor reviews! Your monitor reviews are imo the best out there! I even bought my current one based on your videos! :)

Thank god this monitor is 32 inches. There are literally no 32 monitors with 240hz refresh besides the curved samsung. I am so glad they did not make this monitor 27 inches. There are literal millions of 27 inch monitor choices. Finally we are getting some choices at 32 inches.

[@genxgamerdad141]

Have the Acer Predator XB323U GX at 1440P. Really like the size, sure it's slightly more pixelated than 27", but at 51, I can see stuff a lot easier. Regarding higher refresh rates, I find my eyes get a lot less fatigued when playing FPS games. That alone makes it worth it for me.

[@theravingchannel]

have you tried this monitor though? lol nobody cares if you have some other monitor and havent tried this one

[@genxgamerdad141]

​@@theravingchannel 🙄I wasn't dissing the LG, I was only supporting the fact that there is a market for 32" 1440P and that higher refresh have other benefits. One of which is reduced eye fatigue.

[@gbforfunbruh7090]

Just picked this monitor up and no complaints wish the HDR was little brighter but other than that zero complaints. Xbox ran great on it 120hz no issues 9/10 IMO

[@t10Rambo]

On sale for 599 now! Just ordered one

[@eliotcole]

For everyone's reference this monitor has 16 dimming zones. 12:00 The new Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 has 1000 more for a similar price. It's still an eye watering £900/$1000 insanity level monitor ... but at least it's up there. To the video maker, I doubt you'll see my comment, but I'm not saying any of this as criticism, by the way. But increasingly viewers looking at HDR monitor reviews are looking at this specification, so I think it's now a known thing with mentioning. If I were to insert a purely personal critique: I realize that reviewers like to either obfuscate things like price and key bullet points so people watch the whole video, but I'll always watch good content if creators get the meat and potatoes up front.

[@uncletupac1545]

Hi. If you had to pick between the Alienware AW2723DF or the LG 32GQ850-B, what would you choose for primarily gaming with occasional media use? Is LG 32GQ850-B on 32" as crisp as Alienware AW2723DF on 27"? Wich one is visually better and provides a better experience mostly in gaming? Thank you in advance for your answer!

Bijan, Amazing review. Could you please spend more time in the response time area/graphs next time? I just picked this up brand new for $499 with extras in a bundle from an Amazon seller. Guessing they got the pricing wrong cuz it’s not there anymore. Anyway some people on the net say this can do 4K 120Hz some how? They called it a bug, I think it’s a feature worth looking into. Especially if it can do both 1440P 240Hz and 4K 120Hz. Also is this the fastest 1440P 240Hz IPS monitor yet? Thanks!

[@staticvoidmain]

It has competitors, and this one is late to the game. Check the Acer Predator XB323U. 1440p, 32 inch. I have the 270Hz. It's $900, and Vesa HDR600 as well. Almost same specs. I've been using one for more than a year now. (You weren't interested because you only cared about 27")

[@theexpatgunner]

Great, in depth and informative review Just picked this monitor up yesterday for mixed usage between work Mac and Xbox Series X and I must say I'm very impressed. My initial feeling is that I prefer the experience gaming on A monitor like this vs my 75" TV which has a dedicated game mode HDMI 2.1, 120Hz FreeSync Premium, VRR and ALLM enabled. The LG 32GQ850-B just seems more fluid and responsive in comparison to the point I believe it actually helped me perform better while paying MW2 / Warzone 2. I was wondering, is is this just placebo effect as its a new tech and I was excited to try it out or do monitors like the 32GQ850-B just perform better regardless of how game enabled a TV can be with its claimed response times, RTINGS test etc., I set the viewing distance to be comparable when playing on both TV and Monitor, using THX recommended 36 degree field based on screen size, but I feel the monitor is just faster even if the TV is equipped with all the bells and whistles when it comes to gaming features. Any thoughts toward my perceived obserrvation, I'd like to see a test of a high end Mini LED TV like the LG QNED 90/91 vs LG 32GQ850-B / 32GQ950-B.
