LG 32UN880-B UltraFine 31.5" 4K Monitor - Tilt, Pivot, Height Adjustment, Connectivity Review

I am a professional home and private chef and I teach cooking via video as well as online and live. I'm also an online influencer and commentator. So my needs are mixed and numerous when it comes to microphones, mixers and input devices for computers, studio and editing equipment and various software. Quality monitors are essential for both video and photo editing. This LG monitor met my expectations and my needs. The monitor setup on my desk is phenomenal! The ergo stand is fantastic and…

The perfect monitor for the home office. All you need is a decent desk that accepts the clamp on the Ergo Arm, and you save space that any other monitor stand would take up, with a choice of heights, angles, and spacing to perfectly suit your sitting style. Bright, vibrant, and large enough for any photo editing software or media, with plenty of room for all your tools and timelines. Three sheets that are 8.5 x 11 (plus another inch or so) wide and 5 inches under provide plenty of room for…

In this review I will walk you through my journey to find the best monitor under 1k. I'll tell you what you have to consider and what to expect. And the question prompted me to replace. A bad sample is inevitable from time to time and this is the first time I've had to return a monitor due to problems. However, I hope to debunk a few things and help you get the most out of this monitor. I started by buying a 32 inch LG VA monitor. Bad idea for a Mac Mini or if black is important to you. VA…

I've bought LG monitors in the past and they've been great. I saw this monitor for sale last month and bought two to finally update my office setup. Both monitors worked great until a few weeks later the USB-C Lightning port on one of the monitors stopped working. I've tried all possible solutions and nothing. I contacted Revain customer service hoping I could return the monitor and get a replacement or something, but they only refunded a portion of the credit. It's a complete disappointment as

When every picture mode sets the brightness to 100 and LG doesn't calibrate the colors, the monitor fails me. I had the painful experience of the brightness fluctuating every time I scrolled through a webpage when connected to Mac Studio with a Cable Creation 8K USB Type-C to DP 1.4 cable. But things happen. I also tested a few cables and ended up sending them back. Appreciate the almost complete coverage of P3? Or a pretty stand? Yes! I only wish that we and the monitor were taken more…

I gave it 4 stars because of the Mac integration. You look pretty good. This is not reference quality or anything, but I was very happy with the price. I bought and returned 3 other monitors before settling on this one. They don't play that well with macOS. You cannot adjust the brightness or volume in the monitor settings in the menu bar. I think there's an app that allows this (volume at least) but I know LG can. I used the super slim 5k and it integrates perfectly. I understand. Macs are…

I used to use a 3440 x 1440 ultrawide monitor with a MacBook Pro and the lack of text clarity was hampering my productivity. After switching to this 4K monitor, the fonts are now crystal clear. And I'm cleaning up my workspace by replacing my MacBook's power cord, USB/HDMI hub, and multiple cables with a simple USB-C cable between my monitor and my MacBook. Now the monitor charges my laptop and I use the USB ports on the monitor as a USB hub. Bravo!

This monitor is amazing. I love this 32" monitor so much I will be buying another one, only 27" instead of 32". I think what really sets this monitor apart is the ergonomic stand it comes with. Can be put in any It can be moved in any direction imaginable and is very easy to install on your desk No screws, no tools, nothing It just clips right onto your desk The ergonomic stand is a big reason I'm buying a second one that I won't be over Gaming because I haven't used it for gaming, I understand

I used to have a very expensive Dell monitor, the brightness wasn't that good and one day I put my thumb on the screen to adjust it and it immediately became garbage as the screen cracked all the way down. I had a 27" backup but missed the 32" size. I think this monitor is excellent value for money, the arm is amazing and doesn't need adjusting right away. The image quality is excellent with one caveat. I use a MacBook Pro as my personal computer and a PC as my work device. The PC is ok but I…

I bought it to use with a 16 inch Macbook Pro Thunderbolt 3. It was my first foray into third party monitors in 25 years and after some tutorials and support from LG I think I'm satisfied. I'm using it connected to a CalDigit T3 Plus Hub and a CalDigit DP > HDMI cable (at 60Hz - important) - HDMI is required for full access to all monitor features. The screen goes black for a short time, at least once a day plus fluctuations in brightness. The fluctuations in brightness were resolved by…

I replaced a 2013 iMac that I was using as a dedicated monitor for my 2018 MacBook Pro. The display I was very happy with but the kids needed a computer for school instead of homework. This monitor is pretty good so far but I was horrified at first because I couldn't adjust any settings and the colors were yellowed and washed out. Turns out OS X had HDR enabled by default when I wasn't actually trying to display HDR content. This caused the monitor to lock out other picture settings. After…

Okay although I bought 2 of these in October 2021 I only use them as I had to build my desk. I installed 2 and did a quick test on my 2 year old MSI Creator gaming laptop. I connected it via the included HDMI cable and it couldn't handle 4K stably. It started to flicker and periodically went out for 1-2 seconds, then the image reappeared, etc. A complete nightmare. I grabbed an HDMI cable from one of my work monitors and voila, all is well. Conclusion: The HDMI cables supplied with the monitors

Built like a tank, the picture quality is amazing, the monitor stand is great too! Look, if you want premium, professional quality, then this is for you. This is by far the best monitor I have ever seen and used. If you've got a desk that's deep enough to mount the monitor far enough away from your eyes and you, and mount it properly, then check out this LG - its super high-end. I use it for general browsing, graphic design, trading, stock charts and online businesses. Negative - I ordered this

The picture is excellent, the screen is excellent. As an IPS monitor, it has a wide viewing angle, so I can use it at any crazy angle I want and still see it clearly. The bracket and lever work well. It's a bit stiffer than I'd like, so you really need to adjust it by holding the arm components rather than pushing/pulling the monitor itself. Cable management isn't as good as it seems. I can't run all my cables through the base, there just isn't enough room. They needed 2x more cable space on…

The first plus is that the advert for the mount is real. It's a very good ergonomic mount and it does the job perfectly. However, it can be a little tricky to attach the monitor to the mount when it's on your desk. I advise you to place the monitor on the bracket before attaching it and remember to leave a piece of cardboard on the bracket until the monitor is securely attached. Cable routing for assembly is also above, no complaints. The monitor itself is a very good frameless IPS screen, it…

I had two 27" 4k monitors. I had to increase the resolution because the font was too small. So they actually became almost 2k. I lost what I thought I would gain with 4k. Some YouTube videos mention that the optimal size for 4k is 32". I'd say it's almost the right place, but not quite. Not all programs handle 4k the same way. Some older windows programs like file explorer were too small. Another program couldn't handle it at all so I had the option to increase the font size. I didn't want to…

I originally bought it to use with my new Apple M1 laptop and I can finally explain my experience in more detail. PROS: Get a great value 32-inch 4k monitor that comes with a monitor arm and USB-C charging. All-in-one cable for your laptop (up to 60W of power is just enough for a Macbook Air or slim laptop) CONS: Display brightness and colors are AVERAGE for a 4K display, compared to high-end 4K -Displays. APPLE/LG 5k Monitor or iMAC Retina Display PROBLEMS: 1) When I wake up my connected…

When I first installed this monitor I was horrified when I turned it on. Compared to the Mac monitor, it looked like a pixelated heap of garbage! Frustrated and overwhelmed, I started playing around with the custom settings and scaling features. Then it happened. After a short time, the monitor looked wonderful! I mean it's still not as good as a Mac monitor but for the money I'm very happy. There are some elements in this monitor that are undesirable. I think all the money is spent on the…

I haven't been this happy with a computer display in a long time - this one ticks all the boxes at a good price. The display quality is excellent - excellent color accuracy, wide viewing angles and exceptional brightness. This is a one cable solution for my Dell Latitude laptop (power, video, audio) plus a built in USB hub, meaning I connect the USB->Ethernet adapter to the monitor and just one cable on my Desktop can leave. Quite a few displays offer these common features, so it was the…

First let me say that I think this is a great monitor in terms of picture quality and the ergonomic stand is a real game changer in terms of desk space and screen positioning. However, I definitely decided to make this purchase after seeing a video from LG showing how much you can move this thing around on the ergonomic stand. Attention * in the video everything moves WITHOUT a cable connected to the monitor. I've been moving mine around like an idiot during normal use while the cables are…
