LG UltraGear 32GN600-B - LED-Monitor - QHD - 80 cm (32")

Product Information

The screen has also been certified under the AMD ‘FreeSync Premium’ scheme, but not under the NVIDIA ‘G-sync Compatible’ scheme unfortunately. The results are carefully selected to provide the most useful and relevant information that can help evaluate the display while filtering out the wide range of information and figures that will be unnecessary. The C27RG50 while being 240Hz had very slow response times and showed a lot of black smearing even on lighter backgrounds. The LG 32GN600-B has great build quality except for the stand, which only attaches with two screws, so definitely go easy on adjusting tilt and placing down the monitor. There’s no height adjust which would have been super useful with a monitor this size, tilt is -15 to 5 degrees.

I didn't notice any problems with witcher 3 and ac origins, they were totally smooth and crisp to my eyes (hardcore cs go player here, I consider myself very picky about motion artifacts.

LG on the other hand, lowers overall brightness and shows full white just a bit above original brightness. Anything over dE 3 needs correcting and causes more obvious differences in appearance relative to what should be shown. We should start by saying that the 32GN600 is one of those very rare cases where the default brightness is not too high and actually pretty comfortable to use straight away.

Supporting FreeSync Premium and working with G-Sync over DisplayPort only, the menu is snappy, and the 8 mm pixel to air is pretty good.Tilt is stiff to move around as well, so you won’t want to be re-positioning the screen too often if you can help it. From the front the stand has a familiar LG UltraGear gaming line-up design with a 2 pronged black coloured foot, with some red coloured trim in places as shown in the provided images. Freesync premium and 165hz and 10 bit color (8bit+frc i guess) and hdr all at the same time work nicely through a Paugge certified dp 1. Word of mouth is LG is known for good panels, and this one is pretty good with SDR at 300 nits, and while this model is a VA type screen, LG does have a higher end monitor with a Nano IPS panel, we might check that out in the near future.

The screen does not feature any hardware NVIDIA G-sync module or anything like that, and so the performance was fairly typical here for a FreeSync (adaptive-sync) display. We first of all test the screen visually in each of its available overdrive modes and at a range of refresh rates from 60Hz, all the way up to the maximum supported. Like most adaptive-sync screens there is no ‘variable overdrive’ here like you would get on Native hardware G-sync displays, and so you are left with this decision to get the best out of the screen for gaming. The “1ms Motion Blur Reduction” setting is not available if you have adaptive-sync enabled (FreeSync Premium in the menu), which means that if you want to turn that on to use it you need to disable adaptive-sync first.

One huge credit we’ll give to LG is that the menu doesn’t require a live input for access, and we wish more monitors did this. Colors are of course not exactly that of an ips panel but not that much worse, I believe an average person can not tell the difference in vibrant content, and with a bit of tweaking an above average person would be satisfied. To be fair to the 32GN600 this was at a lower level than many VA panels with only the darker shades affected, and you can see in the table that it has a 40% rating (lower is better).
