LG 32UL950 W Ultrafine 4K Thunderbolt Monitor 🖥️ with Color Calibration, VESA DisplayHDR™ 600, RADEON FreeSync™, ‎32UL950-W Review

The monitor itself looked decent, although cheaply made. The display is very bright and looks sharp by default. However, if you dig deeper, it gets really bad. The monitor UI is just terrible. A totally unintuitive menu with a tiny, horrible joystick sticking out of the bottom of the monitor in the middle. With OS X on a newer 27-inch iMac, it runs at the default resolution of 1920 x 1080, which is exactly the same as a Retina display rendering at 1/4 resolution (vertical and horizontal pixels…

I'm not a fan of displays. But I took both the 32UN880-B and 32UL950-W to compare them side by side. Overall, I'd say the 32UL950-W is definitely the best product, but you're not getting much at $500 more. Judging by the technical characteristics, they look almost the same. I'm assuming the 950 runs 10 bit and the 880 runs 8 bit, but I can't tell the difference. Text Clarity: Equivalent, I couldn't tell any difference when coding. I tried to get some close-ups of the text on both, it was…

UPDATE FOR LG 32UL950-W with Xbox Series X - 11/14/2020: This monitor still looks great and I've tweaked it to look amazing on the new Xbox Series X. For some comments, I only use this monitor for Xbox gaming. I don't use it with my computers so I can't be held responsible for it. I've attached some photos of the Series X settings and wanted to list my monitor settings for others to try for themselves. The following monitor settings I got on an XBox Series X were achieved by going through "TV…

Purchased 32UL950-W on Revain Prime Day 2020 to benefit from a small discount combined with accumulated points. This reduced the cost from very expensive to just expensive. I chose this model for two main reasons: the screen size and the Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. My decision was also influenced by: I have a 55-inch LG OLED TV that I am very happy with. In these days of WFH where home office is scarce, I use LG for double duty. The HDMI input connects directly to my work-issued Dell laptop. I…

The LG 32UL950-W UHD HDR monitor arrived in two days as promised. I plugged it in, ran it and it worked. At the time of writing this article, I've only had it for three days and no problems so far. I plan to use this setting for photo and video editing. I can't say anything about playability at the moment. I haven't had it long enough to properly assess the quality of the color grading, but it's much better quality than my other LG monitor that doesn't support HDR.

The bleed, viewing angle and bumpiness of this 32UL950 is just awful, which is made all the more painful when you're paying one of the most expensive prices you can find for a monitor. Do yourself a favor and check out the one and two star reviews. Just buy the non-IPS at a much lower price if LG is offering this as a high-end monitor. I would love to return this but I was afraid that Revain would ban me from returning expensive items. The heterogeneity is worse than the 32UD99, which should…

Excellent quality. I've used it with both my computer and my XBOX One X. The latter runs in 4K with HDR and Freesync. Update: Not only did my original unit have a backlight (which I was willing to accept to an extent), but it also had an amber glow at the bottom of the monitor, which was very distracting in dark (black) scenes. Revain was kind enough to send me a replacement but the new unit was much worse. If your device doesn't have these issues then you have a fantastic monitor, but…

I was so excited about this monitor as it has all the features I was looking for (especially for a Mac user). I have a brand new 2019 MacBook Pro and did so much compatibility research before deciding on this monitor. Unfortunately, this monitor only lasted 2 hours. After leaving my office for 30 minutes, I returned to a blank screen and didn't respond to wake up attempts. (I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions in the manual/online and even called an IT tech over to my house to try and

I had to return the monitor for a number of reasons.1. Build Quality: Did the stand click 100% badly and the part seems out of place and the movement of the stand was not smooth (this is not the reason for the return)2. Image quality: I work in media and colors are important to my work, games come second. The brightness is better than my BenQ PD3220u, but the colors on the monitor are very black, very oversaturated and definitely need calibration. It also lacks image details like the BenQ. If…

With this model, LG has by far the best OSD and controls on the market. The joystick under the lower bezel is great, all important color spaces are easily accessible. What a pleasure to compare sRGB, AdobeRGB, Rec 709, EBU and DCI-P3 in seconds. What was missing from the panel I got was edge-to-edge brightness (Y) uniformity. Significant vignetting on a pure white screen. Backlight (BL) show-through in the darkened editor was significantly worse than the HP Z32, ProArt PA329c, and Lenovo P32u…

Cons: The title states the main cons. In addition, the color gamut is not exactly professional and only promises 98% DCI-P3. A professional monitor typically delivers 99%-100% aRGB + >95% DCI-P3. A minor annoying point: its indicator keeps breathing after the signal source is turned off. I use it in my bedroom and it will be annoying when I can hardly sleep. To get rid of the breathing light, I have to turn it off. However, it will take 5 to 10 seconds to turn off and on next time. Weary…

Definitely a great 32 inch display for a Thunderbolt 3 user. I've been using it for 50 days with my 2017 MacBook Pro 15. Image Quality: It takes several days (weeks) for the screen and color to burn out. First impressions aren't great, but the color gets better once the screen burns through. Certainly not as bright as the built-in display on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15. This is the best 32-inch Thunderbolt display you can get at this price point, unless you go for the $5,000 Apple Pro Display XDR…

I did a lot of research and decided I wanted 4K with a wide color gamut. Other monitors claim HDR – high dynamic range = wide color gamut; However, most of them aren't bright enough to meet that standard, and most of them don't have a large extended color space other than Srgb, which is your standard monitor. A brightness of 1000 c/m2 (candelas per square meter) is standard. Most monitors produce 350c/m2. This monitor is one of the few that produces a peak of 600 c/m2 - it's not up to the…

This monitor delivers what it promises. It's a good compromise between a dual-purpose design and a gaming monitor at a price that's not too exorbitant. Very good picture and wide color space. Great looks: narrow bezel, thin screen, beautiful white back and elegant stand. Multiple connection options. Very good. Gaming performance A shortcoming for the design: The black toilet is "dirty". A big plus for gaming: It is compatible with Gsync. Not official, but the Freesync setting works with the…

This monitor is great when it comes to picture quality, but when it comes to quality it doesn't seem to have much of it. After that, a vertical blue (sometimes red or purple) line appeared

I have three of these and they are amazing! The picture quality is amazing. Colors look vibrant and vivid, and text is crystal clear. Absolutely ideal monitors for encoding, photo and video editing. To my surprise, they are also very suitable for gaming. Of course, a higher refresh rate would be better, but I've played FPS games for hours with no issues.

I have had this monitor for several months now. I have no complaints. I use it with my 16" MacBook Pro - the latest with the fastest processor on the market (August 2020). I can't comment on its use for gaming, but if you're doing productivity and engineering tasks, this monitor should do all your needs. I can only recommend him.

I liked this monitor but it seems to have suffered some shipping damage and there is a growing crack on the right side of the screen moving towards the center. I would just avoid it if you want something durable and reliable.

This is an amazing ad. But I don't recommend it to anyone. It's over $1,000. I burned out in the first month of use because I had a bright, sunny wallpaper. It goes away after a few hours if you change your wallpaper to something minimal. But for an LCD panel (not Oled) that's ridiculous. Save your money and wait for a better deal or buy
