You can also overclock the monitor to 260Hz by first enabling the ‘overclock’ option in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu, and then setting it up in your GPU drivers. The ‘Faster’ mode adds too much overdrive, so stick with the ‘Fast’ mode for the best results across the entire refresh rate range. There are four response time overdrive modes: Off, Normal, Fast and Faster. The LG 32GQ850 has a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed for zero trailing visible behind fast-moving objects, making it ideal for fast-paced games. So, your mileage may vary depending on the content/scene. Still, thanks to the monitor’s wide color gamut and decent brightness, some HDR scenes will look better than SDR.
In other words, you’re not getting the true HDR viewing experience, which would require an OLED panel or a decent full-array local dimming implementation. Particularly bright scenes get punchier highlights, but demanding scenes with dark and bright elements close together won’t get a big improvement in HDR. In fact, only scenes where the dark and right objects are far apart get a notable boost in contrast. When viewing HDR content, the display gets a boost in peak brightness up to 600-nits, but there are only 16 dimming zones and since the backlight is edge-lit, they’re not very effective at increasing the contrast. Moving on, the monitor supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) and has VESA’s DisplayHDR 600 certification. Luckily, the LG 32GQ850 has an A-TW polarizer that significantly reduces the visibility of IPS glow and therefore improves the perceived black depth. It’s mostly noticeable when displaying dark content with a high brightness setting in a dark room. It’s characterized as visible glowing around the corners of the screen at certain viewing angles. The contrast ratio ranges from 700:1 to 1,000:1, depending on the unit, so don’t expect as deep blacks as that of VA panels, which usually have a contrast ratio of around 3,000:1, but have other flaws of their own. You get a pixel density of 93 PPI (pixels per inch), which is equivalent to that of a 24″ 1920×1080 monitor, so you get the same viewing experience in terms of clarity and screen real estate, just on a larger screen.ĤK UHD looks much sharper on 32″ displays, but it’s also significantly more demanding on your GPU/CPU than 1440p in video games.įurther, the LG 32GQ850 monitor has a high peak brightness of 450-nits, so it can get more than bright enough to mitigate glare even in well-lit rooms. This allows you to calibrate the display on a ‘hardware level’ (there are two profiles to store calibrations) instead of having to rely on ICC profiles.Ī lot of users might find the 2560×1440 QHD resolution to be too low for 32″ sized screens. In case you have a colorimeter, the 32GQ850 supports hardware calibration via LG’s True Color Pro application. You can get by with some basic content creation though.

Next, the monitor is factory-calibrated at Delta E < 5, which is perfectly fine for gaming and content consumption, but not quite ideal for professional color-critical work out of the box. The Nano IPS panel also ensures 178° wide viewing angles, so the image won’t shift in brightness, contrast, color and gamma regardless of the angle you’re looking at the screen. You can adjust the brightness in this mode too! However, LG provides you with an sRGB emulation mode that can restrict the gamut to ~100% sRGB for more neutral and accurate colors when viewing content made with the sRGB color space in mind. This is equivalent to around 135% sRGB gamut size, so you’ll definitely notice some over-saturation when viewing SDR content. Image Qualityīased on a Nano IPS panel (LM315WQ3-SSA1), the LG 32GQ850 offers a wide 98% DCI-P3 gamut coverage for vibrant and saturated colors. Note that the LG UltraGear 32GQ850-B also goes by a few different model names depending on the region, including 32GQ85X, 32GQ850L and 32GQ85B. The LG 32GQ850 is one of the few 32″ 1440p gaming monitors available with a refresh rate of 240Hz and above, so let’s see how it compares to its alternatives.
