If you’ve been working or schooling from home in less than ideal conditions you know what that feels like at the end of the day; sore neck, twisted back, cramped hands and more. If you’re stuck where you are there is one thing you can do to improve your workspace, and that’s to get a bigger, clearer monitor. The 31” LG UltraFine Display Ergo widescreen monitor promises to be easy on the eyes, with its 4K display, easy to set up and to give your workspace a much more ergonomic design. Does it deliver? I got a chance to use one in my home office for a month and here’s what I found.
There are two key components to this monitor that make it stand out; its ergonomic-friendly set-up and its 4K widescreen display. Let’s dig in…
Key features: Ergonomics
The main feature of this monitor is that it’s designed to be fully adjustable and configurable for your space and that happens thanks to the hefty arm that holds the screen.
The arm clamps onto a desk and articulates in nearly every direction; you can swing it around, tile the screen move it up and down, forward and back, and you can even use it vertically if you want.
The benefits of this kind of monitor is that you end up looking straight ahead instead of down, improving your posture, easing pressure on your neck and putting your work at eye-level.
Key Feature: 4K Widescreen display
The 4K resolution on this monitor makes it ultra sharp, giving you very clear image and text quality. At 31.5" and 3840x2160 resolution this monitor is designed to fill your viewing area, and it definitely does.
The tech packed in here includes Nano IPS display and HDR 10 to help provide “vibrant colour and range resulting in a more dramatic and dynamic visual immersion experience”. The LG UltraFine Display Ergo Monitor can also display 4K video content if you want to watch stuff on it too.
Some folks have complained that the monitor is too dim when using it with a MAC. While I didn’t have that problem, the solution is apparently to turn off MAC OS’s internal HDR setting.
LG UltraFine Display Ergo Monitor: Set up
This monitor is designed to be versatile; you can get it set up easily and connect to almost any device: plug your monitor into your PC or laptop as I did with my Apple MacBook. You can connect with HDMI, Thunderbolt and USB Type-C cables.
There’s a cable management system too to run the cable through the arm for a cleaner look.
One important note however is that this monitor does not come with feet or a stand. The only way to use it is with the arm. The clamp that holds this monitor to your desk needs to be able to grip a wide area in order to hold the big and heavy monitor securely, meaning it won’t work on a desk with a side rail, or on thin or narrow tops. You need about 4” of overhang to secure it. The manual has more specifics but this does limit where you can place it and on what kind of desk. www.lg.com/us/support/product... There is also a grommet connector for it if you want to go that route.
Once the arm is secured the monitor just clicks into place.
Using LG UltraFine Display Ergo Monitor frees up desk space
One of the great things about this monitor is that it completely frees up your desk space. No need for a monitor stand, no need to work around a monitor’s bulk, particularly if you’re going the widescreen route. I can slide my laptop right underneath the LG UltraFine Ergo and have plenty of space for the rest of my tools.
Overall review: LG UltraFine Display Ergo Monitor
Overall, I’ve really fallen in love with this monitor and I’m going to be sad to see it go.
It’s made my desk space much more useable and has enabled me to work much more comfortably. I like the fact I can adjust the monitor to any configuration, though truthfully, once it’s set where you want it, there’s not a whole lot of need to move it around.
The screen is definitely a treat. I was previously using a small 20” stand monitor and it was fine, but upgrading to 4K and the 31” size makes everything much clearer, particularly when I’m editing my RUclips videos. Even writing documents is easy on my weakening eyesight.
The biggest downside of this monitor I suppose is the lack of feet or legs for it, so if you ever needed to move workspaces or switch locations, you’d need to ensure you can still set it up correctly and safely.
But overall I love this monitor and am considering getting one as a permanent addition to my home office.
The LG UltraFine Display Ergo Monitor sells for about $900CAD and you can get it from Amazon.

I like this straightforward and comprehensive review. Kudos to your ability to study a product and summarizing so well !
Much appreciated, thank you!
really love that you're showing the clamp so clearly; helped me figure out that this would not fit on my desk due to the metal bars that bind all the pieces together
I'm so glad that helped!
That is an awesome idea! But as you mentioned it is not high enough, I am not surprised that. I had be watching a better arm stuff that can move a little higher. Awesome Erin for showing this. 👍🏻👍🏻
Erin, you’re a great reviewer. Thanks
Thank you very much for that compliment!
very good review. love the fact you mentioned about the table details needed for the ergo to fit which other reviews have never mentioned. and I love your table. very clean looking :) thanks again for sharing!
Thanks very much for the compliment Carla. 😃
Excellent Review 😎⚡️🤙
I like the way you put them together, just like my favorite usage - 1st review of this positioning and it looks still can see both screens? My issue was finding the perfect keyboard and trackpad and all external options were slowing down the processes... The build-in is perfect, especially the new MacBook (16") keys are so much better than the separate option... And it's fully synchronized with Mac?
Thanks Erin.
Thanks for the informative video, especially the hint with the HDR settings in MacOSX when having issues with the monitor brightness! 👏🏻
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it helpful
Feels like I'm watching news. Great video!
Happy to hear that!
Wow you’re a gem! Nice review
Thanks so much!
Very detailed review thanks. I have just purchased one and a couple of points worth noting. The pedestal swivels as you move the screen so the cables become visible at the side which loses the tidy look of hidden cables at the rear. Unless you have a very deep table top, so the arm is stretched forwards, they will be on show. And secondly a useful tip, my monitor just kept swinging backwards to one side when it felt like it. However, there are a couple of small Allen Key screws on the side of the links that when tightened up stiffened up the linkage and stopped the swinging. Other than those minor gripes it's great.
Excellent feedback! Thanks for sharing this with the audience.
@@ErinLawrenceTV Does this monitor support 2 different input sources at the same time by dividing the screen in half ? For example on the left PC on the right MAC. Thank you for your help.
What do you think of the 32Un650? I don’t know if they are identical in specs except for the the stand that it comes comparatively to the ergo set up this comes in.
Hi! Thanks for the video! Congratulations Excellent Choice! Please, Can you tell me the measurements of the screen including the frames? In its lowest position, how far is the distance between the monitor and the table? In Horizontal and Vertical position. Thank you.
I'm thinking about getting this monitor. It can display 4K video beautifully, but how is it for editing 4K video on? Is it just the same?
Nice wallpaper desk, I really thought it was granite in the beginning.
Regarding the con on the monitor stand, you should take into consideration that this is an ERGO monitor. This means that its specifically built to pivot and swivel in all kinds of directions. Anyone looking to buy a monitor with a stand, well, should go buy a standard monitor with a stand. Bringing this up is like saying buying a macbook pro comes with the cons of only having USB-C ports, kinda silly.
Lol brian surpised to see you here! Thank you iOS god for ur usual vids ;)
Just because something is purposely designed a certain way doesn’t mean it’s not a con. That’s a ridiculous statement. The fact that MacBooks only have USB-Cs is most definitely a con and why I haven’t upgraded in 4 years.
The MacBook Pro only having usb-c ports is a HUGE con and should most DEFINITELY be ridiculed as a con as it was a stupid, narrow-minded, rigid, anti-consumer, backwards decision by Apple.
Luckily there are reports that they’re finally admitting their mistake and backtracking on the next MacBook pros by being back more ports like sd card & hdmi etc.
I might consider this monitor
Update: I finally able to acquire one
Could you please recommend me best monitor - 32", IPS, 4k, Curved with USB-C type port?
Excellent review, Erin! How clear is text when compared to a MacBook Pro? I have an LG Ultrawide and it’s a real struggle for my eyes to read text.
It was very clear. I really liked it, and found it's just as god as my Macbook Pro
Have you been able to watch Netflix or other streaming services in 4K with this monitor? I only ask because of all the hdcp 2.2 compatibility requirements, thank you!
Does it support macbook's truetone and night shift display setting?
Many thanks for the video. ist the monitor suitable for intensive photo editing (photoshop & indesign) 5-7 hours a day ?
Definitely!
Erin - How far can the monitor extend from the back of the desk? My desk is quite deep and I'm afraid the monitor might be too far away if it's anchored to the back of the desk.
Bro it’s 32 inches. A few years ago that was a tv
Thx for revviewing it. I wonder how documents display - I really want to avoid jaggy letters in documents
I work on documents all day long as well as videos. I really liked it for writing; it was very crisp and clear
Hi Erin,
Great video. Does it support true 10 bit?
Hi Stefan, That I'm not sure about.. :(
You’d be a great news anchor
Thank you 😊
is any heating issue with your mac while using this monitor??
nice Video I have MacBook Pro 2018 "13" -I7 2.7 GHZ with 16 GB RAM can win against 4k 32 monitor? ;)
Very nice review! You mentioned a grommet connector for the base, but I can't it online. Is it included? If not do you have a link to purchase it? Thank you for your help.
Oh gosh, I can't remember. This was a loan and I had to send it back or I'd check the box for you
@@ErinLawrenceTV I appreciate your response. I did watch a few unboxing videos after I posted my question. It looks like it is included in the box. Thanks again for the video. I am currently awaiting the delivery of the monitor. 👍
Can you please describe the current weather and traffic conditions in my city.
Haha!
nice
Have they discontinued this monitor or something? Can't find it anywhere in the UK lol
32UN880-B
that's the official name by LG, you should find it jusdt fine
Do you find the monitor too high when you use the laptop underneath? I am trying the same, but the monitor seems a bit too high
Wouldn't you just be able to lower it josè?
Why is there no mousepad?
It confuses me at 4:24. Did you have to say "at the highest setting" instead of "lowest"? If the problem is not being able to put the laptop under the monitor "at the lowest setting", can you simply raise the monitor? Could you please clarify? Otherwise it's very good and helpful review.
At the lowest setting it's way too low. At the highest setting I still can't fit the laptop underneath. Does that help?
Why don't you close your Laptop and put it underneeth the monitor? The MacBook sends it's picture also with closed lid to the monitor.
What mic are you using? You have crystal clear voice.
Aww shucks. Thank you! Just a lavalier off amazon
@@ErinLawrenceTV I'm so stupid I googled a lavalier microphone. Hhahahaha! But yep, seriously, what microphone are you using or is that a mic + external soundcard?
@@ErinLawrenceTV Did more research based on the looks of it, is that a Rode-NT USB mic? :D
Hi Erin
LG told me it fits a 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches desk-top..where did you get the info. about a 4 inch thick desk-top please?
From the manual that came with it.
4 inch overhang or 4 inch thickness of desk?
thanx u
LG 27 UL850 or 32 inch 4K-UHD unicorn 880 will be the best of these two models for video photo editing and sRGB color grading , i want to buy unicorn 880 model
Nice!
@@ErinLawrenceTV Thanks for telling lg UN880 nice model 👉💯
Are the pixels visible from normal distance?
Definitely not.
mine has a yellow tinge even when set to black and white i.e. all colour sliders set to 0 - not impressed :-(
Now I feel like the cheaper 4k monitor I just bought today sucks
Does this work for the ps5?
it has hdmi 2.0 so you get 4K 60Hz and HDR
I have a glass desk!
I don’t think that would be a good idea!
The fact that it does not have a stand, it is totally useless for me.
The monitor is ultra fine and so are you
Smooth 👍🏼 😂
the only one is beautiful)))
