Product Overview

LG UltraGear 32GP850 is a midrange 32-inch IPS gaming monitor with 1ms response time and 165Hz refresh rate. It covers 98% of DCI-P3 color space and supports both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync.
Thanks to LG's Nano IPS panel, the 32GP850 is able to deliver TN-level speed with rich and precise color reproduction. With a QHD resolution in a 3-sided nano-edge design, the 32GP850 is able to give the gamer an immersive visual experience.
Unsurprisingly, the 32GP850 comes with an ergonomic stand that offers tilt, height, and pivot adjustments.
Alongside the 32GP850, LG also unveiled at CES 2021 the 27GP950 and 34GP950G, while a few other 2021 gaming monitors have since joined the lineup.

    Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
    The LG 32GP850-B is an excellent gaming monitor with low input lag, a fast response time, and variable refresh rate (VRR) support. It has an impressive color gamut in HDR, with nearly perfect coverage of the most commonly-used DCI P3 color space. The large screen is great for multitasking, but the relatively low pixel density isn't the best for text clarity.
