Review on LG UltraGear 32GQ950 B DisplayHDR FreeSync 4K, 144Hz, Height Adjustment, Adaptive Sync, Pivot & Tilt Adjustment, ‎32GQ950-B.AUS, IPS by Emmanuel Southers

I also have an Asus PG32UQX HDR1400 monitor but was looking for a great alternative without paying a decent price. For 1/3 the price my little brother and I both agree this is the monitor to go for. The PG32UQX has better HDR (mini-LED vs. IPS), but it hurts your eyes when someone throws a flashbang grenade or the bright white Assassin's Creed loading screen. This monitor is less easy on the eyes and does not require brightness adjustment. I have HDR enabled and the games look AWESOME. Even content from YouTube 4K HDR content looks amazing. This is the best black I've ever seen on an IPS panel. The monitor is quite bright. As for "bugs", my little brother and I noticed that when Assassin's Creed loaded, there was sort of a white vertical bar running from the top to the bottom of the loading screen about 3 inches wide. I didn't notice it until he mentioned it and I see it too, which we think is due to the blackout zones. Otherwise everything was literally perfect. I didn't see any flaws in the gaming day or night scene. There are 32 dimming zones in total. compared to 1152 dimming zones on the Asus PG32UQX. When watching 4k HDR content on YouTube in dark scenes, we also see the same white vertical stripes, about 1 inch wide, running from top to bottom on each side of the screen, changing the black to a lighter color. I'm seeing the same problem too, but in the middle when I shut down my Win11 computer. This only affected the jet black color. This is the best black I've ever seen on an IPS panel. I wish there were more dimming zones for the price. Paid €999.99 for it, but I wouldn't pay more. There is literally no bloom/halo on this monitor. Despite the flaws I see, I think this monitor is worth the money. The flaws don't bother me at all as I only see them <1% of the time I use the machine. The Asus PG32UQX also has its weaknesses. There is no perfect monitor. If money isn't an issue and I don't need HDMI 2.1, I'd go with the $3,000 Asus PG32UQX Mini LED. But for $1,000, it's a monitor. HDR is pretty darn similar if not identical to the PG32UQX. We believe this is because it only outputs HDR1000 content. The PG32UQX is definitely brighter, but this monitor is also quite bright. It also supports HDMI 2.1. This one is a guard.
