Customer Ratings & Reviews

After years of gaming on a TV, the LG 32GX870A is my first dedicated monitor and the difference is absolutely mind-blowing. Paired with the PS5 Pro, this display has completely transformed the way I experience games. The picture quality is stunning. Games like Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Black Myth: Wukong, and God of War look incredibly cinematic, with deep contrast, rich detail, and smooth performance that brings every world to life. Even fast-paced titles like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater feel ultra-responsive thanks to the monitor’s low input lag and high refresh rate. HDR performance really stands out here ,black levels are deep and inky, and colors pop with just the right balance of vibrancy and realism. The overall sharpness and clarity make even small textures and lighting effects feel immersive. If you’re used to gaming on a TV, switching to this monitor is a game-changer. It’s sleek, responsive, and built to show off what modern consoles are capable of. Easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my setup.

Best monitor I've ever had (so far), just bought my second and both are absolutely beautiful; just make sure you set your hz and resolution in your computer's settings to get the most out of what you have

Firstly, the design is slim with zero fan noise. After adjusting some settings, the picture looks absolutely stunning. Brightness is quite decent too. I also use it for my Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5 Pro, which can output full 4K 120Hz, VRR with HDR enabled. Overall, im very happy with it and highly recommend it! LG did a great job with this one.

I absolutely love this monitor! The colors are vibrant, the refresh rate feels super smooth, and the image quality is incredible. It makes gaming and editing so much better. Totally worth it!

Best monitor I’ve ever bought! OLED is amazing!!!!!

I am a photographer and a gamer. This is by far thr best for both! 4k resolution and Hdr movies look amazing.

First OLED. Before OLED I didn’t care, after OLED…there’s no going back. Worth the price—wasn’t cheap—but darn, you get what you pay for and you get a lot with this.

My first gaming monitor. Looks amazing, color pops, and its the perfect size to play games or eatch movies on.

Great quality of screen, got huge experience boost with playing cyberpunk 2077, great screen response time. Also I’m using this monitor for work.

This is the third OLED screen I've tried since I bought my first IPS HDMI 2.1 monitor several years ago, and it is the first one to dethrone that original screen, despite not having as good of sound. THAT is how good this screen is. So what is so great about this UltraGear GX8? Here are the highlights: 1. Screen Quality: Simply outstanding. Whether in HDR or standard mode, the screen is sharp, vibrant, and bright! All the previous OLEDs seemed 'weird' to my eyes for some reason or another. Whether it was the lower nits, or plasticy looking colors, or a distracting 'anti-ghosting' jump every so often that was jarring to see. This is hands-down the best-looking screen I've ever had on my desk for gaming or not. 2. Refresh Rate: I have run the gamut of games in my library from both my gaming laptop and my Xbox Series X, and neither has shown a single stutter or tear in ANY game I've tried. From MS Flight Simulator on max settings, to ElderScrolls Online with stuff blowing up all over the screen, I've yet to see a single hiccup! That being said, I DO have some issues with the 'Dual-Mode' system that I've highlighted below under the 'Meh' section. 3. Stand and Form-Factor: Love, love, love, the form factor of this monitor. It has the perfect stand that is super stable AND doesn't take up a ton of space like my previous monitor did. That was the only thing I didn't like about my previous monitor, the huge stand that prevented me from using a huge section of my desk. The LG GX8 has a nice flat base that lets me stash away my gaming controller, keyboard, and mouse away when I'm not playing. Gives me a lot of useful space back. I only have one wish and that is that it came down one more inch, so it would be in the exact same position that I've been used to all the years. Eh, I'll get used to it. Also, the GX8 is so much thinner than my IPS screen or other OLEDs I've tried. Even though it has the same screen size of 32", it looks bigger almost because there isn't a huge bezel around it. 4. Interface: So easy. My previous monitor even had a remote but this one is still easier to navigate with the control nub on the back of the screen. The UI is simple and easy to navigate. 5. Connections: One HDMI for my Xbox, one for my Windows gaming laptop, and a display port for my Mac Mini. Plus, I still have the USB-C open to use for power if I want! LG also gives you a slew of high-quality cables if you need them. What is only just 'Meh' about the LG Ultra-Gear GX8: 1. Sound: While perfectly fine for everyday application on your PC, the lack of bass put out by the integrated speakers really stinks. That being said, they get very loud. It would be pretty hard for any monitor to match the one I have been using for the last several years because it actually has a subwoofer built in, and I have NEVER found a monitor or even external speaker system that I liked as much as the sound on that monitor. But I like this monitor so much more for its visuals, that I have decided to go back to my hated headphones, that sound great but get uncomfortable pretty quickly. I think I may go get a set of open-ear Sennheisers that I know are super comfy from my audiophile days because the GX8 puts out a very good signal through the headphone port due to its built-in system. Oh, I do with the headphone port wasn't on the bottom bezel and was either higher up the back with the other plugs or on the side. The cable hanging there when I tested it (and if I do go to some wired Sennheisers), just looks bad and gets in the way of grabbing things under the monitor. But that is a nit-pick. 2. The Dual-Mode System: Turn this off unless you really, REALLY need 240hz speed for your games. I don't need that fast, and the resolution hit from the system, is a big no for me. It was on when I started the monitor up and I wondered what was wrong with the screen at first, but when I toggled off dual-mode, things went to the gorgeous view I've been enjoying ever since. 3. This really isn't even a 'Meh' but I wish LG were a little more transparent on what the monitor does for its 'screen refresh' after being on for more than 4 hours. I've dug and dug and can't seem to find out what it's doing. You have to leave your monitor on while it does this and it takes like 20 minutes of so. I've gotten into the habit of just letting the monitor go to sleep when it's done instead of turning it off like I've been used to my whole life. Conclusion: I know that the LG UltraGear GX8 is not a cheap monitor (though it IS cheaper than the IPS screen when I got it at launch), it is totally worth the investment. Gaming is my hobby and when I'm not gaming, I'm usually on my home computer doing other stuff and the GX8 has made all of that prettier and more useful. Love this monitor.

I was looking to add a gaming monitor for my laptop, and decided on OLED panels since OLED produces the best blacks and image quality. LG is the leader in OLED technology, so I was pretty excited to play some detailed games on this LG OLED 32” gaming display. Display The design of this display is pretty basic, but the technology inside is top notch. I have mostly used this monitor for playing GTA and am pretty happy with the picture quality. I understand this monitor can act as certified dual-mode monitor for faster refresh rates and FPS, but I could not find a reason to try this feature. As with other OLED panels, this one is amazing with perfect blacks and lifelike images. The picture is crystal clear and I have not noticed any blurring during gaming. Normally I try to fine-tune settings on my display, but found the default settings just about perfect. Built in speakers I like how the display has built in speakers, but I wished they were better. This is not much of a concern anyways since I was planning on using external speakers or a gaming headset. This monitor does have a DisplayPort 2.1, but I have found the HDMI 2.1 ports work just fine for my needs. I would recommend this monitor for anyone who wants a great gaming experience, but doesn’t mind adding additional speakers.

THIS…IS the 32” LG Ultragear gaming monitor, sporting an impressive 240hz 4k OLED display. But this is not just any ‘4k 240hz OLED’ monitor… it also has a few tricks up its sleeve! It is able to switch to a 480hz 1080p mode at any time from 4k240hz, but we will get into just how good this is (or isn't…) later. This monitor also has an impressive list of specs to go along: 0.3s GTG, Gsync compatible/freesync premium, Vesa 400 HDR and an impressive 275 nits typical brightness with a peak of 1300 nits. I feel like I should be more excited than I am, this is by definition a FANTASTIC gaming monitor! My issue? Lets take a look. So unboxing this monitor it is obviously the crem de la crem for LG, everything is metal and it all just has that PREMIUM vibe - every inch was thought over and inspected… a couple years ago. That's right, this is the exact same panel and darn near the exact same monitor as last years, the difference? Oh just the brand new monitor tax. MSRP is $1400 and we haven’t even paid Uncle Sam his cut. Let me clarify a few things here as I was ecstatic to find out that I would be reviewing this monitor; regardless of what I say here, this is a fantastic 4k 240hz monitor… but it just isn’t what the price and the hype should lead it to be. So what is the difference between last years model and this one? Not much. AMD Free sync premium, A KVM switch, some LG WebOS support and really almost nothing else I could tell aside from Display Port 2.1 support. Speaking of Display Port 2.1, when we take a look at DisplayPort 2.1 on this monitor, this is one of my largest gripes on a new expensive monitor… LG didn’t even pick the best Display Port support! This monitor supports DisplayPort 2.1B (UHBR 13.5) which is really a non noticeable difference between DisplayPort 1.4, as both still compress your video data (use of DSC). DisplayPort 2.1 is really just a bunch of headaches when it comes to naming and terminology as only DisplayPort 2.1c (UHBR 20) doesn’t compress your video data using DSC on high end 4k streams. Continuing, your graphics card ALSO needs to support DisplayPort 2.1… so unless you have a new 50 series card or a Radeon 7000 series card… it doesn’t even matter! Ok whatever, DisplayPort SmlilayPort. Lets get onto what we are here for, the ‘hotkey’ for 480hz dual mode support. I am going to get a little into the weeds here but stick with me. When we run 1080p on a 32” monitor non-natively we run into a few issues. A 32” 1080p monitor already has a worse 1080p image (it looks softer) than a 24” or 27” due to the pixel density loss of about 33% - ~92PPI on 24” vs ~69PPI on a 32” . So you are switching to a lower pixel density, and then running it non-natively… which also hurts the image quality - though, LG does mitigate the non-native aspect to a degree with a different pixel driving mode. My next issue is that I ran into significant issues with several games when it came to aspect ratios when switching from 4k to 1080p, so it just isn’t as ‘effortless’ as a hotkey. Switching to 1080p on cyberpunk gave me a nasty 3:9 or worse aspect ratio. This puts me in a weird spot where I just don’t know who is spending this much money to run a worse version of 1080p at a non-competitive size of 32”? Even when when scaling down to 24”/27” on this monitor you run into the pixel density problem. For this, I see few people out there that will use it… but I am sure there is someone! Ok so surely all this considered, LG is at least making the best dual mode monitor right? Well you would be surprised! LG isn’t even making the best monitor with THEIR OWN panel. If you look to other brands you will see higher DCIP3 %, better warranties and… oh? A way better price. I am really not trying to down LG here, but they keep soft balling me points here and I am not even really looking for them. Let me hit a few highpoints here though in my departure. The 4k 240hz oled monitor is absolutely STUNNING and gets really bright, and at no point in time was the monitor really casting any harsh glares in my gaming room, which is… not always an ideal lighting for glossy esque monitors. From the inky blacks, the high refresh rate and the straight curb appeal of the monitor… it has everything you would want in a 4k Oled monitor and that's where the party stops unfortunately. For the reasons mentioned prior, I will not be recommending this monitor unless you are one of the few select people that find use in the troubled dual mode option, or you get a really good discount on it - like last year's model. That being said, I still implore you to go test this monitor out if you think it's for you, and that's why BestBuy is awesome! BestBuy also has an excellent return policy and a stunning selection of 4k oled monitors most likely on display, so you don’t have to worry about being stuck with a monitor that just doesn't cut it for you! I wish I liked this monitor more, but I am still excited to see what LG has next to regain its crown in the OLED space given they have been the KING of oled for so long. Until next time :)

Words cannot express the sheer beauty of this monitor when coupled with the newest RTX 5070 GPU video cards running 80GB transfer with display port 2.1. The quality of the monitor is superb. The stand is made of high-quality machined metal, and it is heavy which I like so the monitor is stable. The monitor can be adjusted for height perfectly both up and down and left to right. When going into sleep mode or shutting down the computer the monitor has software already installed to self-clean the screen to prevent burn-in. To maximize the performance of the monitor when gaming I use a display resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 240 Hz. In Windows 11, under display set the scale to 175% to enlarge text and the mouse cursor if using the 3840 x 2160 resolution. Turn on auto HDR under display settings in Windows 11 which automatically adjusts the monitor to games. It works very well - absolutely beautiful at 250 - 300 FPS in world of warcraft for example at max settings. I am running an Intel core 9 ultra series 2 processor and an MSI RTX 5070 TI 16 GB GPU with this monitor specifically to take advantage of the monitor's display port 2.1 function at 80GB video transfer rate.

I recently purchased the LG UltraGear 32" OLED Dual Mode (4K UHD 240Hz / FHD 480Hz) Gaming Monitor, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. Picture Quality: The OLED panel is absolutely stunning. The blacks are true black, colors are vibrant, and HDR performance makes both games and movies look lifelike. Whether I’m playing fast-paced shooters or exploring open-world games, the detail and clarity are unmatched. Performance: Switching between 4K at 240Hz and FHD at 480Hz is seamless and truly game-changing. Competitive games feel buttery smooth with ultra-low input lag and the 0.03ms response time. Motion handling is flawless, and I noticed a big improvement in aiming consistency. Compatibility: The monitor supports both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, so no screen tearing or stuttering. I’ve tested it with my PC and console, and performance is equally impressive. Design & Build: The monitor looks sleek and modern with thin bezels and a premium finish. The stand is sturdy and adjustable, though the footprint is a bit wide for smaller desks. Overall: This is hands down one of the best gaming monitors available right now. It’s pricey, but if you want the perfect balance between breathtaking visuals and pro-level performance, this LG UltraGear is worth every penny. Highly recommended for both casual gamers and competitive players looking to step up their setup.

It’s a great display and I really like the aesthetics of the monitor. The colors really pop and the speakers are a bonus for sure. 4k at 240hz is incredible. But the brightness levels leave me wanting more and the matte coating is a bit too aggressive for my liking. Still a very good monitor.

After years of owning Samsung monitors, I'm an LG fan and OLED was the right choice. The joystick for toggling modes is easy to use and out of the way. As far as dual mode goes, it's a LIFESAVER and I would rather have less monitors that can serve more functions (I had 6 on my desk at one point). This is great for programming and obviously gaming. Now, I just need a 5090 to push it on the 4K side! The refresh rates for 1080P and 4K work exactly like they're supposed to, which is... refreshing. One last thing: the stand is sturdy and I got rid of my expensive monitor arm and saved space to just use the stand!

Best monitor on the market currently for gamers; OLED, 4k @ 240Hz. I have several at this point as I was so impressed with the quality & performance. Would recommend new as open box can be hit or miss esp. with this item.

Amazing gaming monitor with features for all types of gamers. high refressh rate 4K on a large screen or even higher refresh rate at lower resolutions for competitive esports games. This the only dual mode 4K monitor that I could find with DisplayPort 2.1 (most competitors have DP1.4 which has lower throughput speed). One thing to note about dual mode monitors (this one included) is that they have modes to simulate smaller screen sizes which would be nice except that pixel density is lower on large screens. This causes a noticeable softening/blurring of images in those modes. It isn't perfect but it is a nice feature if you are okay with slight blurring at the 24" and 27" simulation modes. Pixel density is an issue in 32" dual mode and it is quite nice for competitive gaming.

This monitor blew me away. The OLED panel delivers stunning picture quality with deep blacks, vibrant colors, and buttery-smooth motion. The dual mode is awesome—I can switch between 4K at 240Hz for breathtaking visuals or FHD at 480Hz for ultra-competitive gameplay. Input lag is basically nonexistent, work flawlessly. Setup was straightforward, and the build quality feels premium. If you’re into gaming or even just watching movies, this display is next level. Definitely worth the investment.

Got this to replace my two 34” ultra wide LG OLEDs and it has been a great success. Pros - 4k resolution, deep blacks, and integrated speakers. Cons - price, lack of KVM, lack of Ethernet. The two cons of KVM or Ethernet is only because for the price, this could be better for two computer setup where the monitor is the USB-C dock that can switch between the two.
