Product Snapshot

Overview

The LG 32GN650-B monitor is a mid-tier QHD gaming monitor, which hit the markets in 2021, to equip gaming enthusiasts with a large screen.

With a wide SDR color gamut, the monitor also supports basic content creation. Its 3,229:1 native contrast ratio provides epic black levels.
