Factory greyscale calibration was a bit wonky on my unit. The color temperature overall was good, with no significant tint in any direction, but adherence to the sRGB gamma curve - or even just flat 2.2 gamma - was wrong. You can see a dip in gamma for the higher parts of the greyscale range, and this hurts deltaE numbers, only leaving us with average results. However, you really need a VA panel for the best contrast ratios as realistically all IPS panels have a bad contrast ratio. The Samsung Odyssey G7 offers more than twice the contrast ratio of any IPS monitor in this table and that has a noticeable effect on image quality for those that like to game in a dark environment. Brightness tops out at just over 400 nits, a little lower than the 27GP850 but still very solid for most indoor viewing conditions. Of course, LG does list "HDR10" support but this number is not sufficient for true HDR. Then we see minimum brightness is 67 nits, a bit higher than I'd like and a below average result. The main strength to LG's IPS gaming monitor line-up is the great balance between performance and image quality. The 32GP850 isn't the fastest monitor I've tested, and doesn't take IPS panels to new heights of response times, but performance is still really good and does so up to a decent 180Hz refresh rate.

In any case there are four performance modes, ranging from Off to Faster, similar to LG's other monitors. And we're starting here with a look at the Off mode, giving us a look at native panel performance without overdrive. As always this isn't really a mode most gamers would choose to use, but it does show an 8.6ms average response which is pretty decent without any voltage tweaking. Viewing angles like most IPS monitors are great and of course we have the benefit of a flat panel here. Uniformity with my unit was very solid in the middle area and only a slight fall off along the outer edges, this is an above average result. IPS glow was minimal with my unit as well although this will vary from sample to sample so what you experience may be different.Overall, the LG 32GP850 is a pretty good monitor. It succeeds at taking what the 27GP850 provides and expanding that up to a larger 32-inch panel size, bringing with it the strengths and weaknesses of LG's Nano IPS panel technology. While performance isn't identical between the two sizes, it's similar enough to not have a significant impact on your buying decision. Just get whichever size you prefer. This isn't as good as the 27GP850, which has a larger usable range again due to slightly better response time performance overall. However it's not as bad as other displays that have much more narrow usable refresh ranges for their overdrive modes. To summarize the results aren't perfect by any means, but not awful. Variable overdrive would have been a good addition here to resolve these lingering concerns. However the winner here in my opinion is the Asus PG329Q which features variable overdrive. Its response time is similar to the 32GP850, but with lower overshoot across the refresh range, leading to a clearer image. It's not like it's worse than last year's model - because there was no equivalent last year. The UFO Test guidelines make a minimal difference and still exhibit the red fringing issue. If anything it's the contrast guideline that has the most impact, which does minimize LG's poor contrast ratio, but it's not a massive difference that would radically change our recommendation. From a design perspective, the 32GP850 looks virtually identical to the 27GP850 except for its larger size. In fact right now I could be showing you photos of the 27-inch model and saying it's the 32-inch model and 99% of you would have no idea. But of course, that's not the case at all, these are fresh photos of the 32-inch model.

The colour accuracy out the box is amazing and the brightness is next level, the first time I have ever turned down a monitor to below max brightness. Today we are reviewing the monitor that LG didn't want us to review, the 32GP850. It's been a bit of a process to get this one out, far from the smoothest review process I've ever had, but today we'll be going over everything you need to know if you are interested in this display, which has been on sale for a couple of weeks now.Love the fact that it is AMD freesync premium as well as G-sync, works well with any device you use it with! Then we move up to the Normal mode at 180Hz. This mode features a 7.52ms average response time, which is marginally improved on the Off mode, and we also see no overshoot here at this refresh rate. The cumulative deviation result, which measures the difference between the monitor's actual response curve and the ideal instant response, is also quite solid at around the 500 mark without much overshoot. This typically indicates good motion clarity. Curved Gaming Monitor]1650R curved monitor proved to add an immersive touch while gaming or watching movies, helping to fill our peripheral vision, enlarging the field of view to a greater extend. The curved monitor provides the maximum immersion, fully engages your life in every aspects. The stand supports height, pivot and tilt adjustability, giving a decent range of motion that includes the ability to use the display in a portrait orientation if you want to. There's also VESA mounting support if necessary. Meanwhile the on-screen display is controlled through a directional toggle on the bottom edge of the monitor and includes a standard set of features, nothing too exciting.

The build quality and look of this device is great as well, although not the thinnest monitor out there it still looks great.This is a 32-inch 1440p IPS monitor with a maximum refresh rate of 180Hz. It's essentially a larger version of LG's 27GP850, it offers a very similar set of features, uses the same LG Nano IPS technology for the panel, and visually it's quite similar, too. However, as we've found many times in the past, using a panel from the same family doesn't guarantee the same performance at a different size, so that will be something to explore. Of course, with LG's initial approach to the 32GP850 review I was very curious to see whether this product is actually flawed in some way, and whether the review guidelines were intended to hide these flaws. It's certainly a suspicious situation, so I've been extra thorough with this review in an attempt to find any problems.
