Our take on the LG 32 UltraGear G4 FHD Gaming Monitor

The LG UltraGear G4 is a 32-inch Full HD gaming monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time and AMD FreeSync Premium. Its IPS panel gives wide viewing angles and better color than the VA and TN panels common at this size and resolution. The trade-off is pixel density: 1080p stretched across 32 inches looks soft up close, so it suits console players and casual PC gamers sitting a few feet back more than desktop users who want sharp text. Rivals at this size usually push 1440p or higher, so the G4 leans on smooth motion and price rather than sharpness.

Questions and answers

Is 1080p sharp enough on a 32-inch screen?

It is fine for console games viewed from a couch or a few feet back. Up close for desktop work, text and icons look soft because pixel density is low.

Does it work with PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes. Both consoles run at 1080p and up to 120 Hz over HDMI, and FreeSync works on Xbox. The PS5 caps at 120 Hz, so the full 144 Hz is mainly for PC.

Is FreeSync Premium worth having?

It reduces screen tearing and stutter when frame rates dip. It matters most in fast games on a PC with an AMD graphics card; Nvidia cards can use basic adaptive sync on many setups.

How does it compare with 1440p monitors at this size?

1440p looks noticeably sharper on a 32-inch panel and suits desktop use better. The G4 counters with smooth 144 Hz motion and a lower cost of entry.

What is in the box?

The monitor, stand, power cable and a DisplayPort cable. Check for an HDMI cable if you plan to connect a console.

Can I mount it on a monitor arm?

Yes. It has a standard VESA mount, which is a common fix for the limited stand adjustment.
