Our Verdict

7.5

Mixed Usage

The LG 32GK850G is a decent monitor for mixed usage. It has a large screen size, good resolution, and a very low input lag that makes it very responsive to your actions. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support HDR and the poor viewing angles don’t allow you to easily share your work with others around you. Gamers will appreciate the G-SYNC support and extremely fast response time.

Pros

• Great gaming features.
• Good dark room performance.

Cons

• Bad viewing angles.
• No HDR support.

Office

The 32GK850G is okay for office use. With a 32 inch screen and 1440p resolution, you can easily open multiple windows. You can also place it however you like it, although the swivel and tilt adjustments are a bit limiting. The viewing angles are inadequate, so you’ll lose image accuracy if you need to share your screen with coworkers. However, it can get bright enough to combat glare in most offices.

Gaming

The LG 32GK850G is a great monitor for gaming. It has an excellent low input lag, and the screen is large with enough resolution to display most details of your favorite game. Furthermore, it supports G-SYNC VRR technology which helps reduce tearing. Its response time is very fast, resulting in clear motion, and the decent ergonomics will allow you to place it comfortably without the need for a VESA mount.

Multimedia

Decent for multimedia. You’ll be able to sit back and enjoy your favorite videos on the 32 inch, 1440p screen, but the 32GK850G-B isn’t ideal for watching videos with others due to its poor viewing angles. Fortunately, it has a good contrast ratio, so blacks appear as they should when viewed in the dark, and it has an outstanding SDR color gamut, displaying a wide range of colors.

Media Creation

The 32GK850G is a decent monitor for media creation. The 32 inch screen and 1440p resolution will allow you to display many details of your content on the screen. It has a low input lag that makes it very responsive to your actions and it can get bright enough to combat glare in most rooms. Unfortunately, it may not be suitable for photo or publishing professionals since the coverage of the Adobe RGB color space may be a bit limiting.
