Review on πŸ’» 32UD59-B LG 32-Inch LED Lit FreeSync Monitor with DCI-P3 95% Color Gamut, Six Axis Control, Factory Calibration and 3840X2160P HD Resolution by Francisco Hoover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So 4K UHD stinks, but it doesn't have to.

Please read this before purchasing this monitor. First, 4K UHD is overkill on a 32-inch screen, the resolution is too narrow for normal use, the text is too small for most people. It would take some time to get used to. But UHD doesn't have to be bad. Using an nvidia graphics card and nvidia control panel, I accessed the "Resolution" section and, using some simple math, determined the number of pixels for 90%, 85% and 80% 4k and 3072 x 1736, which are well above 1440p and are still clearly visible. about 10-12 inches apart. You have to remember that to go above 2560 x 1440 resolution you obviously need a 4k screen. Take my word for it, unless you're visually impaired, 1440p at 32 inches isn't great. If you like the luxury of big windows (as opposed to pixelated real estate), 1440p is still better than HD and probably enjoyable. As far as flat vs curved, flat is fine, but I have no doubt that curved is better, especially if you're running it in full UHD. Alternatively, you can try increasing the text size via the Windows Control Panel (type "Make Text and." at the start of the search and you'll see the setting), I haven't tried it. Please note that not all applications follow the operating system "requirement" to increase the size. For other reasons, while my GTX 1070 is pretty darn good, watching youtube videos is almost ALL CPU and not GPU - thanks to the youtube folks. EDIT: I just tested the 60 FPS 4K video "T-ARA Number Nine" and it made my FX-8350 cry - driving this monitor is a beast, don't skimp on your CPU.
