The best gaming/performance monitor on the market

This is the best gaming and productivity monitor out there. Most people who play games also need a monitor that acts as a monitor for PC usage, e.g. B. for surfing the web and other tasks, which means that we do not want to use a curved VA panel or an OLED TV as our primary monitor. IPS is the best technology for this and far superior to other IPS monitors on the market. I would say 32" is the best place for a 4k monitor. 27 inches is too small and the scaling in Windows looks wrong, and more than 32 PPI suffers too much. A lot of people hate this monitor for not being a mini LED with 1000+ zones, but honestly it's all marketing when you have a monitor like this that can deliver nearly 1200 nits of brightness in HDR. I would recommend disabling local dimming on this monitor and the AT-W polarizer is a game changer. The polarizer makes blacks really black (no IPS glow), not gray (very close to OLED). I don't think a monitor does a good job of local dimming so that feature is useless, every dark scene you see will flourish on something other than OLED. This monitor gets ridiculously bright, and the colors in SDR are the most accurate of any gaming monitor on the market right now, so you can use it for photo or graphics work if you want, which can't be said for many gaming monitors. There's a reason LG is the #1 panel maker out there and this is their flagship gaming monitor. If you can get this on sale for $899, it's a steal. The best monitor among the giants and actually better than Samsung's Neo G7/G8 monitors, which are known to have scanline issues and a host of other issues. If you're still deciding which 32-inch gaming monitor is the best out there, that's until LG releases a 32-inch 4k OLED with a high refresh rate, which may not be the case for a few more years case will be.
