LG 32UL950-W

Product Information

However, screen size also plays a role in the gaming experience. A bigger screen allows you to see more detail at a more comfortable size. While a high resolution is important for detail and crispness, a bigger screen allows you to see that detail at a more comfortable size. For example, a 27-inch monitor with a resolution of 1440p (3440 x 1440) will let you see a lot more detail than a 1080p (1920 x 1080) monitor of the same size. The numbers in the resolution stand for the number of pixels per line. So a 1920 x 1080 resolution monitor would have over 2 million pixels total. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting.

Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. We've tried different monitor resolutions and observed that a higher resolution provides a sharper and more detailed picture, resulting in a better overall gaming experience. A higher resolution means that the games will look more detailed, and you'll be able to see everything more clearly, including text quality, texture quality, aliasing (jagged edges), and HUD elements. Design-wise, I prefer this LG UltraFine Display to the design of the model with the same name currently sold in Apple Stores. The bezels are slimmer, there’s way more I/O, the screen is less reflective, and the stand is more attractive.LG didn’t stop there, however, as the display allows you to rotate it 90-degrees so that you can view it in portrait mode. For certain types of applications, this orientation makes the LG UltraFine Display a handy companion to your main display. On the flip-side, I actually prefer a larger 4K panel, as it’s easier on my eyes. Assets are larger on screen while in pixel-doubled Retina mode, which makes it easier to read. Although I love the idea of 5K panels, even my 27-inch iMac gives me problems from time to time when running at its default resolution. The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely.

The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. Despite all of the bells and whistles, I understand that some people may not like the idea of a 4K display in a 32-inch panel. That results in a PPI of 138, which falls short of qualifying as a “Retina” display on paper.

Design and Features

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. What we love about the LG 32UL950 is its performance in gaming, since it can handle motion quite well despite the limited refresh rate. The monitor’s pixel transition time is agile enough to avoid irritating image retention or ghosting, although there are a few trails here and there. We think its forgivable due to the 60Hz refresh rate, so looking for something better will point you in the direction of either TN-based options or the super expensive 144Hz segment.

Color Gamut refers to the range of colors that a monitor can display. A wide color gamut means the monitor can display more colors, creating a more vibrant and lifelike image. Based on our analysis, the LG 32" 32UN880-B and LG 32" 32UL950-W monitors both have a refresh rate of 5 ms, which we found was good for gaming. Typical gaming monitors have response times ranging from 1 to 6 milliseconds, which is considered fast enough for most gamers. However, based on our hands-on experience with various monitors, we prefer higher-end monitors with response times as low as 0.5 milliseconds. This lower response time provides even smoother and more responsive motion, ensuring an immersive gaming experience. Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. A colorimeter test reveals that the LG 32UL950 isn’t as impressive as the brand’s other Nano IPS monitors since it falls short of a few specifications. The monitor is only able to reach 70% DCI-P3 or around 85% Adobe RGB coverage with loose color accuracy of around Delta E 3.6. The screen is slightly too warm for daily use, so calibration is necessary to get the most out of this device.There is one caution that I have about daisy chain Thunderbolt 3 setups with this monitor: you’ll generally want to avoid daisy chains with high-bandwidth peripherals. Information about the average amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. If you’re looking for a Thunderbolt 3-enabled external display, then LG is pretty much where it’s at. Not only does the Korean company produce the 34-inch 5K2K UltraWide Display, which is great for creative professionals, but it also produces an LG UltraFine 4K Display with Thunderbolt 3 in tow. Eurostat Electricity Price (as of 1st Half of 2020), ** Consumption duration based on Initiative EnergieEffizienz (as of 2013) The LG 32UL950 offers excellent image quality and gaming performance, but its scores fall short of the manufacturer specifications and our expectations. Nano IPS monitors have been superb so far when it comes to accuracy and vibrancy, but this monitor somehow manages to drop behind its Nano IPS comrades. It’s a bit disappointing that the slower, yet more capable LG 32UD99 beats this newer variant in some critical aspects, such as gamut coverage and color representation.
