The Review LG Didn't Want You To See: LG 32GP850 Tested

Guess you all never played the lg panel lottery. Buy your monitor from amazon if you do go with lg.

It is absolutely amazing how Hardware Unboxed simply won't budge to any manufacturer, and that the manufacturer is starting to understand that you cannot do things and get away with it any more. The only thing I regret is that someone might have been fired for this, and I believe that is and was nobodies intention. Also, what the hell LG, this is a decent monitor, why would anyone want to change a review that is in depth, accurate and competent and also shows that the product is actually fantastic, not the best there is but certainly a good choice for anyone in the market for a 32". Thanks for again sticking to your values Hardware Unboxed, we do appreciate that!

#3 allows him to refuse a review if you don't follow the conditions up front. it's almost as bad as what they did. Instead They will ask for unreasonable things up front, Tim will say no and we will never see a review. Instead of simply sending Tim the monitor and let Tim do his job. good or bad.

[@TomatePasFraiche]

@@b6s4shelter True of course, but as a corporation with money on the table they will always set conditions whether it's upfront or after the fact as it's always been in the whole industry. However asking those before you put someone under the grill is of course the right and legitimate order of action (and less stressful for our Tim). Also, isn't it the same result in the end because they forced Tim to not release his review because he wouldn't agree to their crazy conditions? They would probably just sue him if he did not comply and still released it for the sake of neutral reviewing. The change is still appreciated, let's see what good comes out of this and if not I'm pretty sure our dear Tim will smack a gnarly video about their horrible practices which will hit exactly where it needs to.

[@bwcbiz]

Suggestion for a graphical improvement. In the response time chart, the color ranges seem to be hard-coded to specific response times, rather than scaled to the response window available in the monitor refresh rate when looking at variable refresh rate performance. From my POV it would make more sense to have any value that comes in below the Refresh Window to be on the greenish side of yellow, and above the refresh window to be on the yellow/orange/red scale. As an example, looking at the 120 Hz normal mode chart about 6:53, the refresh window is 8.33 ms, but many values under 8 ms are colored orange in the response time chart, which could lead more visually-oriented viewers to think that the response time was unacceptable for those transitions.

So, this is the monitor it was all about. Honestly, if it did not had all this review drag behind it thanks to LG, it would actually have been a pretty decent monitor.

[@pretzel3779]

buy the product, not the brand

[@andylloyd8176]

I picked up this display and i cannot help get the feeling the display has a slight inverted curve to it! I no this can happen when you come from a curved monitor to a flat panel, but even after a week of using this monitor the middle of the display looks slightly pushed out. Anyone else have this issue, any advice would be appreciated

[@Mi2Lethal]

This is the forbidden review about the monitor that shall not be named.

[@i_watch_everything]

The marketing department owe the engineering department an apology

[@ChiekoGamers]

They always have good monitors, so I dont get why there is a need to suppress reviewers. Marketing people are silly

[@besthandlethateverwas]

Got this monitor and have no complaints besides that it maybe doesn't get very bright. 32 inch definitely was the right choice for me, i get a very smooth and immersive gaming experience.

[@stefanjakobsen6038]

The contrast is way to low for Ghost Of Thushima... I'm gonna buy a G7 too

[@Jsteeeez]

I dont get it. Lg makes good products. Why are they acting like a holes. It would be like you order dinner and love it but right before you go to leave a tip your waiter comes and says if you dont leave me a tip I will break your kneecaps. Like things would of worked out great if you just acted like a normal person

Korean culture.

[@Elias_g1]

Language Barrier, greedy "external" marketing department...

[@alexusman]

@@Zetraxes that (or rather asian mentality) and people involved being normies who usually work with "influencers". (now I'll go and wash my hands after writing this word)

[@denishachan3941]

For sugar coating ?like fuck samsung get this it's best ... Type of marketing

[@matthewperry4141]

Don’t know if I should get this monitor or the Odyssey G6 Curved QHD Gaming Monitor for Xbox series x.

[@arthurvincentsimon5651]

Plot Twist: LG deliberately "controlled" the review to stir up controversy and publicity.

[@pretzel3779]

uhh

[@sujimayne]

@Lungho I assume he's just joking, I see these jokes on KZbin all the time.

[@joeykeilholz925]

Always good to remember this when considering monitors.

[@edwinwelch1272]

LG nanocell screens have terrible black levels/contrast.

[@kizuda6943]

Sad. But true

[@Von.Scrungy]

I'll always appreciate that Hardware Unboxed keeps their reviews 100% honest, to the point where even a pretty awful marketing practice of trying to control the reviewing process doesn't affect Hardware Unboxed's opinion on the product.

[@ICEMANZIDANE]

Again? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LGs PHILOSOPHY is the issue here! It will not change as long as the whole staff isnt changed out

[@592Johno]

Did you watch the video?!

[@ICEMANZIDANE]

Johno yes i did, iam following the company for yeads, dont worry my friend. Although i have to say that even LGs philosophy is way better than Samsungs but thats a diffotopic

[@coolcat23]

It is great that you are emphasising the need for a good sRGB emulation mode for wide gamut displays. Please keep putting pressure on manufacturers to implement them without unnecessary limitations like disabling white point corrections, etc. And please point out the use of BGR panels. Gigabyte's M27Q is near perfect but has a BGR subpixel layout which completely rules it out for me (as I need clear text, regardless of whether or not an application supports ClearType).

[@Elbethium]

There really is no good company out there

[@howardlam6181]

a company has individuals that don't always make the best decisions.

[@dusterstilldustin]

I just bought this monitor and was wondering if it would be better to run in 165 hz and use freesync premium or use the 180 hz mode? I am running the ryzen 5 5600x, 6700xt overclocked, 32gb of 3600 ram, and a b550 motherboard.

[@sebastianvangen]

1st

[@hiimcortana1568]

GDI. I missed just by 50seconds

[@GoatChease]

I'm so happy to hear they'll be changing things up, thanks for keeping the tech review space safer for consumers!

[@comemesas1]

One thing I'd have liked you to mention in monitor reviews is IF they are capable of auto-switching the video input for people that uses more than one device (Gaming PC, enterprise laptop, gaming console...). I say this because I bought last year the LG 27GL-850 because of your review, and I am happy overall with it, but after the first month of manually switching the video input from my PC to my enterprise laptop and vice versa every single day I began to regret my purchase. I didn't check if it was compatible with this feature because I took for granted that such a pricey monitor would support such a basic feature, but in fact it does not.

[@Zorro33313]

LG: tries to manipulate HUB so Tim give 'em some slack Tim: scrutinizes even harder Dat's the spirit!

[@eternaljoker99]

Well, now LG has to deal with the "Streisand effect". What would have just been a review of a decent monitor is now getting people suspicious because of how they've acted and tried to control the review process.

[@jimmylim5015]

Just bought this yesterday from microcenter... not a bad monitor

[@leftestali]

Why there are no acer monitors at the comparison board?also I can find no reviews of lg27gp950, I am thinking to switch from my acer pe270k, but want to know if it's a true 10 bit panel, otherwise I will not cause my monitor is also 8bit +frc. The only reason is the 120 hz mode, mine is 60hz,also the contrast is very important, mine is at 1300,whats lgs?

[@teamkaskas]

just got the m32q today. I am glad I chose it over the lg utragear 32 inch gp850 b. The speaker, port for keyboard, mouse is really handy and is a must. The graphics is good. I certainly made the right choice.

[@josephmartik1416]

How is the text clarity

[@solidreactor]

Excellent review Tim. LG if you are reading any of this, please continue your business relationship with Hardware Unboxed, I only trust some reviewers (like these ones) when it comes to product purchases. I never go by what the product maker and their marketing says, never.

[@abrahamsanchez1543]

It’s a great monitor, got it nearly after release the 83b version at best buy, and absolutely love it.

[@0mnikron702]

I just picked this one up open box great deal on it what the best setting for it?

[@Dave-dh7rt]

I have an Mbest 27" 1440p 165hz chinese monitor. Yes, its a TN panel and isnt the best for color, but its good enough for me. Id love to see a review on this, as I picked mine up for $249. It ACTUALLY runs at about 150hz, not 165. There is a small bit of ghosting as well.

[@azim1833]

Great review!! I really need your opinion on what to get from these 3 monitors: - Gigabyte M32QC - MSI Optix AG321CQR - LG 32GP850-B I’m not a gamer, I just want the monitor for home office and browsing, but I want the best performance for that. Your help would be highly appreciated!!😊

[@xvnbm]

I bought this monitor for 399€. I am pretty happy with is so far. Colors are a bit oversaturated. Although, I have been using this monitors for few days now and when I tried to adjust colors to be more natural, I ended up getting more natural colors, but still decided to go back to oversaturated colors. Games just looks better with these and I am not doing any color editing. Nothing bad comes to mind at this point. Maybe it could power up faster, because my 8 year old second monitor powers up faster than this. Although, this was also the case with Samsung monitor I tried earlier and ended up returning.

[@mahamudulhasananik]

Tim also show us ips glow and bleeding test picture of the monitor in the dark room, its simple missing from ur review.

[@georgemorley1029]

Smashing review, best I ever saw on your channel. Not because of the content necessarily, but the very publication of it is very important.
