Review on LG 32UL500-W Display - FreeSync Compatible 31.5" 4K UHD, Wall Mountable, 32UL500W, HD by Chris Smart

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best option for computer-aided design (CAD)

I bought this unit to replace a 27 inch Samsung Syncmaster monitor that I had for about 6 years. It was a very good monitor until the power went out. I mainly use the monitor for CAD design work. was looking for a monitor that was at least as good as the one it replaces and slightly larger. Our research has shown that this LG monitor offers the best visual quality for graphic design with a larger workspace. higher resolution and UHD graphics quality Physically the device is impressive and the size is just right Improved build quality and features Setting up multiple monitors can be a bit tricky and there are no setup guides in the box or available online. which are very useful for this, so you just have to use it. If I were to use the monitor to watch YouTube 4k plus UHD videos, the picture would be excellent. Viewing high-resolution images is also excellent for full-screen viewing from any angle. The downside for me is that I mainly use this monitor for AutoCAD architectural design purposes. Here, this particular monitor is of poorer quality than the one it replaced. Taskbars, icons, text, linework, and all other visual aspects of a program on that particular monitor are at a lower resolution, making those elements slightly blurry or bloated. You can still use it, but the strain on your eyes increases, so you have to constantly adapt to your eyes, thinking that they are the problem. I have two monitors. The second is a 24 inch Asus VG series 3D monitor which is about 3 years old. When I use this monitor with the same CAD program, the functions are very clear. I've also connected another monitor, ViewSonic VA2012wb, and the same program is also very sharp. It's possible that there are some settings in this new LG monitor program that we just haven't found yet (we've tried all the setting options ).Using the custom settings helped, but still not as good as other monitors. When using the default settings on the LG, the CAD graphics are so bloated that when you zoom out, they wrap around the entire drawing into something similar to what you used to draw with colored pencils. technically, but others have dealt with this issue and they're just scratching their heads. There are many variables in the world of computers and software, so it could just be a unique compatibility issue. This is a good monitor for the price and it can serve you well, you might want to reconsider using this with a CAD program.

Pros
  • 31.5 inches
Cons
  • Limited customization options
