Dell revealed the AW3225QF 32″ 4K 240Hz curved and the AW2725DF 27″ 1440p 360Hz flat-screen QD-OLED gaming monitors. Thermaltake enters the monitor market with the TGM-I27FQ 27″ 1440p 165Hz IPS and the TGM-V32C curved 32″ 1440p 170Hz VA models. Like many other LCDs in this segment, this is a versatile display that is great for gaming, productivity, content creation and basic PC tasks. Excellent text clarity, above average factory calibration, minimal IPS glow due to the ATW polarizer, and it's a nice flat panel with good brightness. The second-gen Samsung QD-OLED panel also uses a slightly different subpixel layout for better text clarity, which will in addition to the display’s high pixel density minimize text fringing associated with these panels. It also has a semi-glossy screen finish for clearer image quality in comparison to matte coatings.

LG 32GQ950 Review 2023: Is It Worth It? - DisplayNinja

Acer announced three gaming monitors as part of CES 2022. Two of which are the Predator XP32 and XP32 FP. Both monitors are 32-inch UHD screens with a 165Hz refresh rate and a DisplayHDR 1000 certification. There's also an annoying automatic standby setting which will turn the display off after 4 hours regardless of what is happening, and that's enabled by default. We wondered why sometimes the 32GQ950 would randomly turn off and we thought it was a firmware issue, but it turns out it's just this setting, which we recommend you to disable. Display Performance Compared to other monitors at their max refresh and using the best overdrive setting, the 32GQ950 performs really well for an LCD. It gets close to the Odyssey Neo G7 from Samsung, delivering slightly slower performance and slightly more overshoot, but these products are similar. It offers a definite step above other 32" 4K offerings and delivers speed similar to, if not better than, most 27" IPS LCDs that we've praised in the past, so that's really nice to see from a new 32" panel that haven't always offered the best motion performance.

True-to-life Colors & Contrast

It’s an overall exceptional SDR gaming monitor, but there are better HDR displays around this price range. Specifications Screen Size The LG 27GR95QE-B is a 27″ 1440p 240Hz HDR gaming monitor based on a W-OLED panel with an infinite contrast ratio thanks to per-pixel dimming, a wide 98.5% DCI-P3 color gamut and instantaneous pixel response time speed. It’s based on an IPS panel with a fast 1ms GtG pixel response time speed, a wide 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and DisplayHDR 600 certification, indicating a peak brightness of 600-nits and some sort of (most likely edge-lit) local dimming. Samsung no longer produces LCD panels – instead focusing on their QD-OLED panels. They sold most of their LCD fabs to TCL/CSOT. Samsung QD-OLED Panel

Both monitors are using LG DIsplay's OLED panel and will offer a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and a response time of 0.1ms. As far as ports go, both will include two HDMI 2.1 ports, making these suitable monitors take advantage of next-gen consoles along with one DisplayPort 1.4 and USB port. All of this performance is available at a typical power consumption level for a 32" 4K panel, it's not the most efficient option we've seen, but I don't have any complaints given it sits somewhere in the middle.The monitor that is arguably one of the biggest surprises at CES this year if we focus on just monitors alone is Samsung's Odyssey Ark. This 55-inch curved monitor is the largest one the company has made yet. While the company did not share a ton of specs, we do know that it has a 16:9 aspect ratio and you can rotate it to vertically for use if that strikes your fancy. Samsung touts it as the monitor that can deliver a multi-view experience, allowing you to concurrently perform tasks such as play games, video chat with friends, and watch videos from just this one screen. One of the features LG has touted with this new generation of displays is an ATW polarizer, or Advanced True Wide polarizer. This is a technology designed to reduce IPS glow which is a common complaint from IPS monitors, as well as improve contrast when viewed at off angles. While the 32GQ950 does have great viewing angles, I didn't see much of an improvement relative to other IPS LCDs. There's really a lot to like here and among the 32-inch 4K monitors we've tested, this is definitely the one we'd recommend for non-HDR use based on its performance and the overall experience it offers. The 32GQ950 has standard brightness for a modern LCD in its SDR mode, hitting a touch over 400 nits. That's plenty for most use cases and helps to deal with some of the reflections off the coating I mentioned earlier. Minimum brightness is also excellent at just 15 nits, which gives users heaps of flexibility for using the display in bright and dark rooms.

The main issue here are HDR claims. While LG does advertise this as a HDR 1000 product, I feel that's misleading due to the poor HDR capabilities that only reach semi HDR standard. I'm sure the monitor does properly pass the loose DisplayHDR 1000 certification standard, however this standard is not useful for consumers. The reality is the 32GQ950 is significantly inferior to proper, true HDR monitors. However I didn't spot any issues or defects with other areas to the display. What We Learned For general screen uniformity the 32GQ950 is above average though standard LCD issues appear like a bit of falloff around the edges, and a slight color tint difference between different areas on the display. A good result, though this can vary from unit to unit. HDR Performance It features a dedicated G-SYNC module with Nvidia Reflex Latency Analyzer, a stand design with retractable legs, Enhanced Vibrance Mode (improved feature for increasing color saturation), and an ESS USB codec for zero latency audio, surround sound and enhanced gun-shot/footstep audio. It’s unclear if Dough will be using Samsung’s or LG’s 31.5″ 4K 240Hz panel, though they are not advertising the DFR (Dynamic Frequency and Resolution) feature of the LG panel that allows for 1080p 480Hz.Samsung's Odyssey Neo G8 is a 4K monitor (3840 x 2160) with a 1000R curve. Samsung notes it is the first 4K screen with a refresh rate of 240Hz and a response time of 1ms, offering the fastest and most responsive times for those that want the best while gaming. Whether you like Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreSync Premium Pro, the monitor supports both tech. The monitor even supports hardware calibration, so pairing it with a decent colorimeter will make sense for any serious colorist anyway.

At 120Hz which is a typical console refresh rate, the LG 32GQ950 is excellent and delivers great speed from an LCD. This is a well suited monitor for both PC and console use. At 60Hz we also see good performance with low overshoot, I'd have this right up there as far as 4K LCDs go, LG has done a great job with performance tuning.It also supports hardware calibration and AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible VRR technologies.
