LG 32GP850-B 32p Nano IPS QHD 165Hz

Product Information

Today we are reviewing the monitor that LG didn't want us to review, the 32GP850. It's been a bit of a process to get this one out, far from the smoothest review process I've ever had, but today we'll be going over everything you need to know if you are interested in this display, which has been on sale for a couple of weeks now.

Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. Movie viewing is also improved thanks to the larger screen size as we’ve said above. Viewing angles are wide thanks to the IPS panel although there is the familiar “IPS glow” on darker content when viewed from an angle which is a shame. This is actually a great product. IGNORE THE ANGRY GAMERS! They are mad because a subsidiary marketing company did something stupid. However what FACTS they ignore is that when the CEO of LG was made aware of these actions he apologized, took corrective measures and urged reviewers like Hardware Unboxed to do their review their way as per the norm.

The step up from Normal is Fast. Response times have improved again and now sit at 5.7ms which is very solid, and this is at only a minimal cost to overshoot. As a result, cumulative deviation is lower, now at just 457, and typically this is what we are looking for when assessing overdrive modes. So in short, Fast is better than Normal when gaming at 180Hz and has a marginally clearer image than previous modes even with a small introduction to overshoot. Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). I don't miss the 240hz monitor. The pixel response times are an improvement over my previous monitor so it actually appears more fluid or same at a lower refresh rate. Always remember refresh rate means little if the response times aren't good enough.The market is seeing a real push in this space for 32” 1440p displays and they are winning us over we have to say. The text and font size are still perfectly comfortable to use and sharp even at this larger screen size for general and office uses, and certainly no issue for gaming and multimedia. The gamma is pretty close to the sRGB curve in this preset mode out of the box. The RGB balance is pretty good and we have an average colour temp across grey shades of 6816k, being slightly too cool. The white point is 6739k leaving a small 4% deviance from the target and again being slightly too cool. This all results in a moderate dE across the greyscale of 2.8. In the sRGB preset mode you lose access to most of the picture OSD controls although thankfully you still have access to brightness (and if you need it for some reason, contrast). Having the ability to change the brightness is vital for these modes so it was useful to see that included here, although the default brightness was modestly set at 18 producing a 140 nit luminance which was comfortable anyway. Default gamma you can see was much lower than the 2.2 line in darker shades, but the reason for this is that actually an sRGB gamma curve has been configured here. If we re-test relative to an sRGB gamma instead of a fixed 2.2 then this is what we find: Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS).
