Purchased two of these back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, had dual monitors at work but never at home. I went back and forth between getting a wide screen vs two monitors and opted for the dual display, glad I did!

Awesome 4K!!

This is the go-to monitor I would recommend for productivty and casual gaming. The picture quality, color accuracy, viewing angles and sharpness are superb. I switch it between my gaming PC's monitor and as a secondary display for the 16 inch Macbook Pro. The single joystick-like control button is much easier to use than other multiple buttons options, I no longer need to figure out which is the first or second button. My Macbook Pro itself have an impressive display, and switching between this monitor and the Macbook Pro's display virtually make no difference for me in media comsumption, productivity and gaming - it has solid Macbook Pro level colors! And the colors stay true even if you look from an angle. I used to have 2x 27 inch monitors in vertical on my desk. But it was annoying adjusting the settings to make them work, this 32 inch replaces the two and I'm pretty happy that I made the change. And for the price, it is a massive display, you can fit 3 A4 papers and there's still more space. For gaming, I mostly play story-focused games so 60Hz is enough. The massive screen and vibrant colors and fast response time really provides the immersive experience. 

The built-in speakers are fine for the average use, it's better than normal laptop speakers and inferior to dedicated speakers. It performs in line with what I would expect of 5W 2ch speakers. But I'm a bit picky on sound so I'm using a pair of 60W bookshelf speakers.

Many of my colleagues and friends bought it after me and they are all happy about it. 

There are a few downsides that I find I needed to learn to adapt and ignore, but these don't change my 5 star rating considering the value and performance you get for the price:
1. In dim environments, if the brightness is over 20% it would strain my eyes after some time, so I always have it around 10-15% which is good enough, and only increase it on sunny days. The screen can get really bright, so bright it would hurt the eyes. I'm not sure if it's only about 300 nits, because that should be the same or less than the Macbook Pro's screen and this monitor can get brighter than that.
2. The on-screen app doesn't really offer much more features, so I simply removed it and use the monitor's own menu if I need to adjust anything, which has proven quite enough - it's just a display forget about the software.
3. Although LG uses the arch stand in many models, it can ocassionaly get in the way on your desk, like blocking the keyboard. Also the stand does not allow rotating around the stand, so if someone stands next to you and you want to share the screen with them, you have to move the mointor stand to rotate it, it can be quite difficult because the stand has a good grip on. So I just use a VESA arm in my office - and it is VESA compatable.

Great picture quality

After I bought this monitor, It functioned for a short time.  It then had to be sent back to the factory for repair.  After I received it back, it didn't work at all and had to be sent back to the factory a second time.  This time it came back functioning but there is not enough contrast.  Most frustrating is there was no manual to instruct on the operation  of the monitor

LG 32" monitor

Started having Flickering issues on the right hand side of the monitor

Flickering issues

I bought this in January and I extend my macbook pro to it. All in all the quality of monitor is great. The colors are great it does take some getting used to after having used a mac display for along time.

Great size

I bought this monitor 1 month ago to replace an LG 43? monitor i had an accident with. It performs very well, good response time and colour fidelity. It isn?t super heavy, assembly is a breeze, and you can put a vesa mount on it if you like. It also comes with both an hdmi and a displayport cable which are included. An unexpected bonus ! This monitor has 1 or 2 hdmi ports and a DisplayPort, which is fine for my needs. There is no usb-c input port  on it which is fine by me as my computer doesn?t have a usb-c port for outputting video anyways. Perhaps a 43? LG monitor was just too much for me to handle..

Very good monitor for the price

Great resolution and features with an affordable price point. A caveat for this monitor is the VESA mount is receded and encased - not flush to the back as many other monitors. The monitor arm I have are for flush mounts. A small modification made it fit without changing the strength or hold. The monitor has speakers and sound well in my office. I use the monitor for CAD, animation, 360 and software development.

Great picture and resolution

This is the nicest monitor I've ever had. I like that it is thinner than expected and has a pretty small bezel. The VESA mounting option is appreciated and how I am using it. I haven't tested it with any games as my computer isn't really a gaming machine but it looks great with videos and the large screen size is great for large spreadsheets. 
Only two negatives so far. I haven't had success setting up HDR. When I enable it, the picture looks washed out compared to another SDR monitor I have connected next to it. It is possible that I don't understand all of the HDR settings. I also don't like the control button being lit when the monitor goes to sleep. It can be distracting if you want the room dark.

Big beautiful display

Most excellent monitor.  Text is crisp and clear.  Picture is stunning.

Great monitor.

Beautiful monitor. I bought a stand so I can pivot it vertically. Color and gamma adjustments could be more intuitive, and getting the perfect color setting to your liking takes patience.

Colors are great - getting balance isn't easy

This is a terrific monitor, the best one I have ever seen or owned. Text is infinitely sharp, the picture elements are 100% controllable via the on screen app, and the display is large. Takes any PC to another level. I would recommend to all.

Dazzling sharp display

I purchased this display to use with Lightroom to prepare my photographs for printing.  I use to do my work on a 23.8 inch HD display.  I have found that it is so much easier to work on a large display.  I open one window in a regular HD display and then view the image using the UHD display.

Great UHD display

I really like the LG monitor.  It was easy to set up, has a great display and features and just love the 4K 32 inch display!!  Would recommend to anyone.

Great monitor

I purchased this monitor a few months ago after building a new PC. I absolutely love this monitor and have zero complaints about it. I can't wait until I can get my hands o a new GPU to unlock the monitor's full potential. I use this for both an extra monitor for work and for gaming in my free time and for both it works great.

Beautiful Monitor

I have had this display for several months now.  I use it for work; however, I purchased it chiefly for editing my photographs in Lightroom.  It has exceeded my expectations.

Great display

This monitor has great color and graphics right out of the box. I highly recommend this monitor.

Great picture

The image quality and brightness are ideal for use in my home office. The quick turn on time and quick response on input changes are also very useful. The built in speakers aren't as good as a desktop set of computer speakers but they are adequate for watching most youtube videos.

Great image, quick to turn on

I bought the monitor 8 months ago and have been extremely happy with the purchase.  Has performed better than expected.

Excellent Monitor for the price.

Nothing is working on this monitor, its not worth spending the time and money on this. 
Get something else and spare yourself of all the troubles that comes with this monitor.

drivers not working at all

Bought it as a Christmas present to me! It is a great upgrade from my 23". I wanted 4K to bring my photography to the next level when editing my work.

Big Screen Great price

This is a nice big monitor that would have worked for my non-gaming, completely business needs except that the screen sharing and splitting is a pain and in the case of different inputs impossible. LG’s product page lists Dual Controller software as a feature which would allow you to control two computers from the same keyboard and mouse, except that requires PBP which this monitor doesn’t have.  Also, its PIP feature us implemented in its OnScreen Control software, which means you can do PIP for different active windows, but not among its various inputs.  I thought at least PIP would allow me to, for example, place one of the HDMI inputs in the little window while having, say, the Display Port input in the main window.  Sad to say it can’t be done!

Good picture, muddled features

No dead pixels that I could find, Easy to setup, no issues at all getting things setup. Menu is easy to navigate with a bunch of pre-set picture modes to pick from. HDR provides some very deep blacks. Only complaint is that the provided cables are only 5ft, so if you need longer you'll need to purchase one.

Excellent picture quality. On Screen Control is very good, with lots of choices for splitting the screen. One minor problem is that OSC leaves a bit of gap between split screens, but overall a great product.

Great picture quality, nice On Screen Control

this is a very good monitor or the price. gaming this good but the input lag is too high. 20ms. and for viewing is good but not as good as IPS screen... so over all is a good monitor..
