While critics were pleased that the LG 32UL950-W had an impressive picture clarity, high color accuracy and a low 9ms input lag, they were not too happy with its low contrast, low refresh rate and poor ergonomics.

The Snapshot

our Verdict

The LG 32UL950-W is a 4K screen resolution display that critics have praised for its having impressive picture clarity. During their experiments, product testers from Gadget Guy were quite impressed with its high color accuracy after calibration, as this had the display deliver rich saturated colors, and had a super low Delta E score of 0.42. They were also pleased that the display had good gaming responsiveness thanks to a low 9ms input lag, and even though its 19.3ms response time was no match for the LG 34GN850-B’s rapid 5.8ms, they were still satisfied since they did not encounter any…

The LG 32UL950-W is a 4K screen resolution display that critics have praised for its having impressive picture clarity. During their experiments, product testers from Gadget Guy were quite impressed with its high color accuracy after calibration, as this had the display deliver rich saturated colors, and had a super low Delta E score of 0.42. They were also pleased that the display had good gaming responsiveness thanks to a low 9ms input lag, and even though its 19.3ms response time was no match for the LG 34GN850-B’s rapid 5.8ms, they were still satisfied since they did not encounter any ghosting during their experiments. Top testers from Monitor Nerds also found out that its viewing angles are better than that of the Samsung G7, and agreed that this made it ideal for group viewing.

However, experts were not pleased with the LG’s poor ergonomics and sub par contrast ratio, as they felt that made its black colors appear gray in a dark setting. They also didn’t like its low 60Hz refresh rate as they felt that this made it unsuitable for gaming, and were also not satisfied with its single 2.0 HDMI port.

What Is Not On the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

The LG 32UL950-W is a premium 32-inch display announced in late 2018. With highlights such as a 4K screen, wide viewing angles, and a low input lag of 9ms, it gets pretty close to competing with some of the best gaming monitors on the market. With a 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color scale, the monitor’s color accuracy is pretty high, and even though its 60Hz refresh rate is relatively low compared to some of the highest-rated gaming monitors, its large screen provides enough real estate for multitasking. The display also has support for HDR content, and its ergonomics are better than that of the LG 32UL500-W. Its viewing angles are broad, and with a Delta E rating of 0.4, its color accuracy can also get relatively high after calibration.
