    SUGGESTION: You should really do UFO ghosting tests on top of the monitor response tests just to show people what the response of the monitor really looks like in practice. It helps immensely to put the numbers to an experience.

    A note about port placement: I have three LG 32" monitors in a driving sim setup. The Monitor stand uses horizontal beams which the monitors hang from with brackets similar to many TV wall mounts. The ports point right at the beam, blocking direct access for the power and DP cables. In this one situation, I wish they were somewhere else.

    Similar issue here, I had a 32" LG before my 32" Dell. The way the ports on the LG make the cables come out straight instead of down made wall-mounting a huge PITA. I had to use extra-long standoffs for the bracket and it was still tight. 90 degree adapters don't work either if you are using multiple inputs because the ports are above/below eachother not next to eachother.

    The reality is that only a small enthusiast market is "crying out" for high-end HDR monitors on the whole. When we enter the 1000$ and above category, the vast majority of people have long since lost interest. So ... demand for the monitor you are describing is probably even lower, because you can get one with a curve already and not everybody sees that as a problem.

    @@un_sympathisch I just got it 30 mins ago. Its amazing, although I am coming from a 24" 1080p monitor with terrible colors so anything will be amazing. But the darks are plenty dark for me, id rather have this then having a few dimming zones that cause a lot of blooming. Plus the 4k is just stunning. I can see text so clearly even when its small and im far away from the screen. The matte effect is there but not noticeable compared to my old monitor. I can only see it with plane green or red screens, things like that. I have to get inches away from the monitor to even start seeing the pixels. The only reason not to get this monitor would be if you wanna watch movies/ immersive games on it and need darker darks. Next to my old monitor with a VA panel its definitely worse blacks. But its not noticeable for productivity use. I haven't played games on it yet but not having dark blacks should just makes it easier to see in the dark unless you wanna play immersive games. Hope that helps Edit: As for the fan, I am pretty sure there is one, I can kinda maybe hear something with my hear literally pressed against the back of the monitor in a 71°F room. Maybe it gets louder in a hot room. I will have to wait 5 days when the weather will be warmer.

    Despite all the comments, I still think IPS LCD edge lit is the most safe panel choice around this price point even compared to VA with FALD or OLED that are still a prince range above this yet still have certain downsides to them sometimes (blooming in desktop elements in FALD, poorer VA viewing angles and dark smearing, low whites 100% on OLED and not being 4K, VRR flickering for both VA and OLED due to high contrast/gamma hybrid). For me I'll take the best quality 4K IPS panel like this one every day.

    At this price range, just get the LG 42 C2. I have used all the panel technology over the years for TN, IPS, VA & now ended up with a C1 48 Oled. As some one who struggled with eye strain during last couple of years, WOLED is a blessing in this regard. Biggest fear for people abt Oled is burn in. I'm a heavy user, racked up about 6000hrs on my oled in 2 yrs as pc monitor, which is like 5 yrs for a normal user. Still no burn in. So, burn is a non issue at least when it comes to Woled these days.

    I bought this yesterday and it arrived this morning. Overall super impressed, everything works as it should and sRGB mode is brilliant. Only issue I can see though, and it's a bit annoying, is the white uniformity. Actually it's most the colour temperature rather than white specifically (its just most obvious on pure white backgrounds). The right hand side of my screen is more pink ish than the left, which has a green ish tint. Shame the review did not mention this, the previous top tier LG IPS panel (LG 32GQ950-B) had the same issue which caused me to return it, albeit it was a lot worse on that one. Maybe its all panel lottery I don't know...

    I had this monitor for a month and a half. The first experience was great and I enjoyed it a lot, but exactly one month after purchase a green vertical line appeared on the half right side of the screen, there was also a less noticeable horizontal one as well. Had to wait a week for LG to tell me they wouldn't repair it (in Spain) and sent me a document for me to handle it with the seller (Amazon in my case). Unfortunately they won't send me a replacement so I have the refund. I got it for 650€ instead of the usual 750€ so it's a shame. I'm still doubting if I will get another one when the refund is done or not risk it and go for another model.

    I wish it would perform a bit better in AdobeRGB but since its an edge-lit design, editing images is for sure better than any momentarily available mini-LED monitor due to no blooming (unless you can spend >3500 bucks for the Asus Pro Art with 2000+ dimming zones😂) Having no real HDR is something you have to sacrifice when you also want image/video editing and still want a higher refresh rate compared to all content creator monitors e.g. Asus Pro Art, Eizo,...

It is cheaper by 40 USD than this LG and 70 USD than Lenovo Legion Y32p-30, what makes quite a deal. Sadly both LG and Dell don`t have KVM svitch but on the other hand Dells stand is very slim. I`m very curious how Dell performs in comparsion to these two others. Also can we count on some mini-led FALD monitors reviews as alternative to impressive but still risky for productivity OLEDS?

    Is this over DisplayPort or HDMI? Try the other type of connection and see if it helps. The other potential issue could be DSC on/off, certain monitors that need DSC to reach top resolution (like any 32" 4k 144hz DisplayPort 1.4 monitor) have had issues with certain GPUs/driver combinations when the screen resolution would go above the threshold when DSC kicks in (or when it goes below the threshold and DSC is turned off), every time there was a transition you'd get input signal desync (screen goes black and comes back as if you quickly unplugged/plugged in the monitor). To confirm this theory do the following: 1. set Windows desktop frequency to 120Hz (which caps the monitor refresh rate to that even in games) or cap the FPS inside the game 2. set color bit depth to 8 bit (instead of 10bit) Now start gaming. if the screen on/off issues have disappeared than you just confirmed DSC problems (at 8 bit color, 4k, under 120Hz the monitor does not need to enable DSC as it has enough bandwidth with DisplayPort 1.4 to do that without compression).

Tried capping the FPS to 90 just to make sure but it still happens (Tried 4K 120/60Hz in NVCP too but the problem persists). At first, I thought it was a DSC issue as you suggested but after playing games capped at 60FPS (Amnesia The Bunker, Elden Ring etc.) and still experiencing the same issue, I think it is something else. However, I am pretty sure it is a bug that could be fixed with a firmware update since Samsung support told me a firmware update is in the works for this issue like 6 months ago. Will never get a Samsung display again even if it is 50% cheaper than those who actively support their product post-launch.

    Hello@@GubiYoroi2. Just to be clear, I am refering to the first G7 that came out, 32" 240Hz. The latest ones and the NEO variants I dunno how they perform. On lower framerates with Freesync (or gsync) enabled the amount of inverse ghosting is quite hudge. If you go above 150 Hz then it becomes less and less visible. The thing is, can you make 200fps for all the games you play on 2k? Because if yes, then it is an excellent monitor and extremely quick on response rate. So for competitive gaming I recommend. But on ie 90 - 150 Hz the ghosting in dark areas and trailing of bright objects is just horrible. Below 70fps the freesync just breaks down. Flickering happens sometimes as well (common in VA monitors). If you don't care for freesync-gsync then it's fine.
