Product Information

Moving on, the LG 32GQ950 monitor has a wide color gamut covering 98% of the DCI-P3 color space for vibrant and saturated colors. Additionally, the monitors will feature G-SYNC Ultimate and have a 576-zone full-array local dimming solution. Other specs include a 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and DisplayHDR 1000 certification. How good the HDR experience will be depends significantly on the content you're viewing. Brightness is a non-issue on the 32GQ950, this one gets bright and delivers strong highlight performance. Real world content examples were often in the 600 to 800 nit range, which is similar to true HDR displays. For most users, 4K UHD resolution is perfect for 32″ sized screens due to the high pixel density of 140 PPI (pixels per inch), resulting in plenty of screen real estate with sharp details and text.

This is the combination of specifications many gamers have been waiting for, and while some users might have preferred a 4K model, 1440p will still look rather sharp and crisp on the monitor’s 26.5″ viewable screen with 110.8 PPI (pixels per inch). Added the KTC M32P10S– the first 32″ 4K 165Hz 1152-zone mini LED FALD gaming monitor with a flat-screen VA panel. If you're looking for a 4K gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1 support and a refresh rate of 144Hz, HP's Omen 27u might be what you are looking for. This is the first gaming monitor HP has made that supports HDMI 2.1. It also comes with an HDMI 2,0 port, two USB-A ports, and surprisingly USB-C support. HP also notes that the monitor features AMD FreeSync Premium Pro adaptive sync support. The monitor that is arguably one of the biggest surprises at CES this year if we focus on just monitors alone is Samsung's Odyssey Ark. This 55-inch curved monitor is the largest one the company has made yet. While the company did not share a ton of specs, we do know that it has a 16:9 aspect ratio and you can rotate it to vertically for use if that strikes your fancy. Samsung touts it as the monitor that can deliver a multi-view experience, allowing you to concurrently perform tasks such as play games, video chat with friends, and watch videos from just this one screen. Thermaltake enters the monitor market with the Thermaltake TGM-I27FQ and the Thermaltake TGM-V32C models. While neither of the monitors offers anything particularly new, these are two very popular form factors among gamers.Unlike ASUS’ model, the XV242F won’t have a dedicated G-SYNC module but rely on the traditional scaler and Adaptive-Sync protocols for variable refresh rate via AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible technologies. Compared to other monitors at their max refresh and using the best overdrive setting, the 32GQ950 performs really well for an LCD. It gets close to the Odyssey Neo G7 from Samsung, delivering slightly slower performance and slightly more overshoot, but these products are similar. It offers a definite step above other 32" 4K offerings and delivers speed similar to, if not better than, most 27" IPS LCDs that we've praised in the past, so that's really nice to see from a new 32" panel that haven't always offered the best motion performance. There's also an annoying automatic standby setting which will turn the display off after 4 hours regardless of what is happening, and that's enabled by default. We wondered why sometimes the 32GQ950 would randomly turn off and we thought it was a firmware issue, but it turns out it's just this setting, which we recommend you to disable. Display Performance The monitor also features Gorilla Glass with the DXC Anti-Reflective treatment for better reflection handling, support for pixel-perfect integer scaling and a 3-year warranty (2-year warranty for burn-in, zero bright dot pixel policy). It also features a high 700-nit peak brightness (window size not specified), Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, hardware calibration, a wide 99% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, 10-bit color depth support and Delta E < 1 factory calibration.

Further, the IPS panel ensures 178° wide viewing angles with no brightness, contrast, gamma or color shift at skewed viewing angles. Thanks to its wide color gamut and consistent colors, the 32GQ950 is suitable for professional color-critical work. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) is a 49″ 5120×1440 240Hz super-ultrawide gaming monitor with a QD-OLED panel, sporting a wide color gamut, an infinite contrast ratio and an instantaneous pixel response time speed. Thermaltake enters the monitor market with the TGM-I27FQ 27″ 1440p 165Hz IPS and the TGM-V32C curved 32″ 1440p 170Hz VA models. The AOC Q24G2 is a 24″ 1440p 165Hz gaming monitor based on an IPS panel by BOE with 99% sRGB color gamut, a 350-nit peak brightness, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, FreeSync support and MBR. The main issue here are HDR claims. While LG does advertise this as a HDR 1000 product, I feel that's misleading due to the poor HDR capabilities that only reach semi HDR standard. I'm sure the monitor does properly pass the loose DisplayHDR 1000 certification standard, however this standard is not useful for consumers. The reality is the 32GQ950 is significantly inferior to proper, true HDR monitors. However I didn't spot any issues or defects with other areas to the display. What We LearnedAcer revealed a 1080p 540Hz TN gaming monitor, most likely based on the same panel as the ASUS PG248QP. Variable refresh rate is supported via HDMI 2.1 VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible for smooth and tear-free gameplay.

They feature wide DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB gamut coverage, 1,200-nit peak brightness, DisplayHDR 1000 certification and HDR10 and HLG HDR format support. This is equivalent to around 135% sRGB gamut size, so SDR content will have somewhat over-saturated colors, but you can use the provided sRGB emulation mode to clamp down the gamut to ~100% sRGB. You also get an integrated 4K HDR webcam with echo-canceling microphones, a fully ergonomic stand, integrated KVM functionality, RJ45 (2.5 GbE) and PiP/PbP support.Input lag amounts to around 4ms, which makes for imperceptible delay between your actions and the result on the screen. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC) is a larger 57″ super-ultrawide curved (1000R) gaming monitor with a 7680×2160 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, a 1ms GtG response time speed, 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, 420-nits typical brightness and a 2,500:1 static contrast ratio.
