Our take on the LG UltraGear 32GQ950-B
The LG UltraGear 32GQ950-B is a 32-inch 4K IPS gaming monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. Its standout is a bright, wide-color panel with a matte finish and ATW polarizer that keeps contrast steadier at off angles than most IPS rivals. It suits PC gamers with strong GPUs and console owners who want 4K at high frame rates. Against cheaper 4K 144 Hz IPS monitors it adds better HDR brightness and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, but it has no local dimming and only one USB port, so it trails Mini LED and OLED rivals on contrast and connectivity.
- Sharp 4K image at 144 Hz
- Bright panel with wide color coverage
- HDMI 2.1 supports 4K high refresh on consoles
- Matte screen handles glare well
- Height, tilt and pivot adjustment plus VESA mount

Questions and answers
- Is the LG 32GQ950-B good for PS5 and Xbox Series X?
- Yes. Its HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K at 120 Hz with variable refresh rate, which is what those consoles output.
- Does it have local dimming for HDR?
- No. It is edge-lit without local dimming, so HDR highlights are brighter but dark scenes stay gray.
- Can I mount it on an arm or wall bracket?
- Yes. It has a VESA mount and the stand detaches, though the monitor is heavy at 25.6 lb with the stand.
- Does it have built-in speakers?
- No. You need external speakers or headphones through the headphone jack.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper 4K 144 Hz monitor?
- It offers higher brightness, better off-angle contrast and full HDMI 2.1, which cheaper 4K IPS models often trim. If you mainly play in a dark room, a Mini LED or OLED rival gives deeper blacks.
- What is in the box?
- The monitor, its stand, a power cable and display cables; check the listing for which video cables are included.
