Our take on the LG UltraGear 32GP850

The LG UltraGear 32GP850 is a 32-inch 1440p IPS gaming monitor with a 1 ms response time and a fast refresh rate aimed at competitive play. Its Nano IPS panel gives wide viewing angles and strong color, and the stand adds height, tilt and 90-degree pivot plus VESA mounting. Against cheaper 1440p rivals it wins on color and ergonomics but loses contrast to VA panels and sharpness to 4K screens. Owners rate it highly for gaming feel and picture quality, though a few find the matte coating and black levels flat.

Questions and answers

Is the LG 32GP850 good for competitive gaming?

Yes. Its 1 ms response and fast refresh suit shooters and racing games. The 1440p resolution is easier to drive than 4K at high frame rates.

How does it compare with a 4K monitor?

It is sharper in motion and cheaper to run, but 4K gives crisper text and detail. Choose this for frame rate, 4K for desktop work.

Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox Series X?

Yes, over HDMI. Consoles cap at 120 Hz, so you will not use the panel's full refresh rate, but 1440p output is supported.

Can I mount it on an arm?

Yes. It has a VESA mount, and the stand comes off, so a monitor arm is straightforward.

Is the stand adjustable?

Yes. It offers height, tilt and 90-degree pivot, which helps for portrait use and ergonomics.
