LG’s webOS setup is fantastic, I have two TVs that use it and find the integration with apple devices to be really great.
AirPods pair almost seamlessly. Casting is quick and easy.
This is what I was most curious about. I’m wondering if the monitor pairs to the AirPods well, will it also pair well with HomePod minis?
@@mwood341he literally just said that.
Pulled the trigger after your Review and I’m very happy with the monitor . It’s in my office/ kitchen and the whole family can use it. Kids watch TV and mom and dad get work done. The Ergo arm was a huge selling point for me . I think as a society we are spoiled with the image quality arguments . It’s brilliant for what you pay for
The monitor is slow compared to all other monitors with same specs due to Web OS (Smart), if you are looking to buy a monitor to function as a TV more then its good.
The speakers do not have base but the volume is extremely nice.
It is a VA panel display and not IPS.
I think the brightness is high even though specs-wise it is low. I tend to work in an environment that has 'curtains on' level light, and it is too bright in that situation even when I set the brightness of the monitor to 0.
Also, in the RUclips app, you cannot type using your mobile. Mobile Keyboard is not supported for some apps, so you will need to type using magic remote.
I will not recommend this for daily 9-5 work or gaming, but only for TV-like purposes or some light work that does not require speed typing or clicking.
I am returning this just to replace it for same specs without Web OS but with IPS Display.
Probably buy 32un880 or 32bn880u.
Beautiful and thorough review E!
Looking into getting a monitor for myself for bedroom use. I think this one would be perfect, no need to get a separate TV.
Have you tried this monitor with your iPad Pro? Would be great to hear your opinion about it as this would be my set-up in my bedroom where I could just connect my iPad and do short work, then use it as a tv at bedtime.
Thanks!

I generally like your content a lot, but isn't it problematic to call a video about a product from LG a "review" when the video is itself sponsored by LG, and the text description of the video says that it was created in exchange for some sort of payment (in currency or goods) from LG? If something's being reviewed, readers/viewers want to be confident that the reviewer will tell them if a product is bad - but this is really hard to imagine in a video sponsored by the company that makes it.
Meh, let creators make a buck, E has earned my respect and I’d trust him to be honest.
I agree, I didn’t hear any bad points mentioned, and to be honest, this is more a TV than a monitor review.
Agree. It’s not about letting creators ‘make a buck’, it’s about journalistic integrity that the audience can be confident it’s an impartial review for the benefit of potential customers; not a bad product being shilled.
Disappointing to see on this channel.
Ey if I don't like it I'll return it
It's sponsored video like every sponsored video on youtube. Your points guys are unusual. Sponsorship is mentioned at the begging, what bad points do you want to hear? Are other RUclipsrs talk about bad points in their sponsored videos?
Love the video,. looks good but now I wonder which I should pick between this and the Samsung m8.
great video as always , howerver i would like to know if the monitor is capable of running plex?? thanks in advance
Thanks for the review. Can you please check if the Game Mode has an Ultrawide option like the Samsung M8?
Concerning Display quality, which one would you prefere ? This one or the M8 ?
Amazing Monitor ❤😍 please @lg keep making such great products #lg maybe something like this in widescreen
That is a nice looking monitor with great features. If the speakers in the monitor are as good as 2.1 speakers there will be no need to have separate speakers and the desk will be cleaner.
Such a shame it is not available in Europe :(
Great review E ! I wonder if the VA panel shoud be a NO compared to IPS...
Would this work well with a Mac Mini 2?
Would this monitor be compatible to Dell E-Flat Panel Monitor Stand?
You did not comment about the picture quality with technical details.I would want to know if I were to buy it
come with any camera?
Can you use wired headphones via usb with usb to 3.5mm jack adapter?
Can you please do a comparison between this monitor and the LG 32UN880-B 32" UltraFine monitor?
yes please!
Does it also support Android casting?
How would you compare this to the 32UN880, for a little more money?
This is smart, but VA
okay but smart monitors will get slow like the television right?
How does this LG monitor compare the the 32 inch LG Ultra Gear model? Aside from the fact that this one includes smart TV capabilities.....
I think that this is a big competitor for Samsung M8. The ergo arm is a killer feature to have. Looking forward to see it on European sites.
The Ergo Stand is very impressive indeed
@@ThisIsE I just got an LG Dualup and it's amazing. The Ergo stand is as good as reviews said, and it's making me strongly biased towards LG Ergo monitors for the future. I have an old, cheap 4K Samsung 28" and would happily replace it with an LG (although I don't need the smart monitor so I'd get another of their products most likely).
The Ergo is better than my existing monitor arms by a country mile, but those were fairly cheap.
@@ThisIsE Can you tell me how low can the monitor go on the desk? I'm used to having my 27' at almost touching the desk. And I would imagine I'd want the same for a 32'.
Thank you for the review. I'm looking for a monitor for my father's PC and this looks like a decent option. However, I wish it came with:
- 120Hz Refresh Rate
- Over 500 of typical brightness
- DisplayPort support
- Less chin at the bottom of the display
That being said, for $499, it's a great deal but I wish at least it had a better refresh rate.
They do have several other Ergo monitors and it looks like they'll be using the stand more going forward. It would make sense since they'll save a tonne and it's a huge selling point. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another monitor they do that's more suited to your specs.
Yeah their comparable monitor with IPS panel, 350 brightness, ergo even better more solid was 2,5 years ago $699. I talking about LG 32UN880-M, still available for $499. So new about equal this will be a Grand minimum I guess. And what you mentioned ##s in different models is $ 1200 +-
can i use it for productive work
Bro can we connect to remote pc with ip address ?
How does this compare to the
Samsung M80C?
What desk?
Anyone know thickness of the screen ?
can this monitor be wall mounted?
How is the MacOS scaling? Can you use it as native resolution?
Yes! I'm using it right now
I’ve been waiting for this exact monitor. I’m having a bit of this!
*Why is this monitor discontinued already?*
Just ordered mine for £400. Seems a good price for what you are getting… It’ll be a step-up from my 23” 1080p monitor, for sure.
I’ll be using it with my M2 Mac Mini, for coding and productivity. I probably won’t be using the Smart TV features. (With the internet, isn’t every monitor really a Smart TV?)
Hope I’ve made a good decision. It’s really hard to know for sure. There’s so many options out there.
Thanks E for the product showcase… One of the few videos available for this monitor.
How did you like? I tried it out, but found the VA panel was a stinking turd and very poorly suited to productivity work. I returned mine.
The screen looks amazing! Im going to set up a home office, where i work 2 days a week from home (UX/UI-designer), and gaming on my PS5. Would you recommend getting two of these, or going for the LG 5K2K for a setup?
I have the same question, finally what have you bought ?
Ey @@LuisIglesiasRivera! I bought a LG 5k2k and mounted in on a big-screen-arm. Works good with split screen if i want to game and watch a stream or what not. Think the split is something like 16/9 + 5/9 ratio. I've had some hardware issues with the screen, but didn't keep the box so can't send it to service. Still a dope screen, especially when designing stuff on full screen. Would never choose 2x smaller monitors over this one.
Hello good morning Thaune, thank you for the reply, but you bought this model no ? 40WP95C-W but you only play with the computer ? I play with xbox or nintendo and with the 21:9 panel I have some black bars, I need 16:9 and only 16:9, which LG model do you see suitable now ? I have thought about buying a lg c3 as a monitor, how do you see it ? Thank you in advance for your time and for being so kind, have a nice day. @thaune91
Hi again@@LuisIglesiasRivera! Yes, i bought the 40WP95C-W. I use it with a Macbook Pro and a PS5. I can play PS5 on 16:9 (black stripes on each side, fullscreen 5k, or combine Mac/PS5 either 50/50 or 16/9 + 5/9 ratio as mentioned. When gaming i often play standard 16:9 with black bars, but some times 16:9 on the left with a 5:9 to the right with my mac for streams or spotify etc. Not tried the C3 so can't say anything about it. But i LOVE my 50k2k for sure.,
it work only with wifi???
hhow would this compare to the samsung M7
Saw this review and was waiting to purchase it the week after but now it has been discontinued... Interesting 🤔
For someone that is currently in the market for a 4K monitor with USBC, with TV capabilities as a plus... would the LG monitor or the Samsung monitor be a better choice? I'd like to see a face off video from you on this.
i was debating this, the samsung monitor has hdr10+, but the lg monitor's ergo stand is imo way more practical for a big monitor that duals as a tv so i went with that one
I bought this display and connected it to my macbook pro M1 Pro and it doesn't shot 60 Hz refresh. only 30 and lower, tried over multiple hdmi and usb c cables. Any ideas?
That is weird. Can you try and get in touch with LG? Also, how about hdmi?
@@ThisIsE no cable works with 60hz. I found an opinion on amazon that it will only work with hdmi to usb-c cable. ordered one but it’s super weird and it should not work like that.
I just found this out the hard way. Watched the `review`, purchased the monitor only to find that 30 hertz is the best you can get on a MacBook Pro.
@@JackFurr hdmi to usb c cable works but its stupid
I have the same problem with macbook Air m1. Thunderbolt 4 cable is stuck at 30hz. Also hdmi. No problem with a pc on same cables 😢
Why has LG still not made this available in EU??? I contacted them and they said they had no plan to release it there, WTF?
So I need to look at competitor product??
My elderly parents are cord-cutters. They have DSL internet, but they haven't had cable TV in years. They watch alot of RUclips videos, and they use RUclips to get their news. (PBS Newshour, etc.) They are doing this on an aging Intel Core i5-powered 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is getting very long-in-tooth (battery is shot) and will eventually have to be replaced. I have long thought about finding ways to improve their setup. I was thinking about the Samsung M8, but then I found RUclips videos like this about the new LG 32-inch SMART 4K. My most important questions are:
1: Can the LG 4K SMART be wall-mounted like a TV? If it can, what kind of wall-mounting kit can be used?
2: If my parents wanted to use their laptop through this LG, how does it connect between a Mac and the monitor?
They can connect their MacBook via air Play with the monitor
Is this good for design and photo editing
I dunt think so
Hi
I bought the monitor only to discover that it does not support 60hz on my MacBook Air m1. This is with hdmi or apple thunderbolt 4 cable. I have contacted both LG and apple support. None of them able to solve it.
“This should not be a problem” says apple. And it sure wasn’t with a cheap pc laptop with the same setup.
Any suggestions?
I shifted to MacBook Pro m2 and the problem was solved
please review the 43 inch version !!!
Can we use it with dish antenna reciver ?? As a normol Tv ???
If the receiver connects via HDMI, I don't see why not
@@ThisIsE the software is windows 10 or windows 11?
this a VA monitor
IPS is the way to go for heavy use of text, am I right?
Can this be bought in Canada ? Best Buy only has 2023 model
Not sure tbh
Is it better than the ultra fine lg version ?
No
Nice video. Good work 👍. I prefer Samsung m8 though
Good choice as well
Very difficult to find dimensions of screen.
Hi there, great and informative. Only question I have is the minimum clamp space. My desk is only 2cm thick and can’t see any information on the minimum for the clamp.
Can you advise pls? Thanks
You could try and add a block of wood between the clamp and the bottom of the table : )
Hello 👋 awesome people of the interweb, let me know if you have questions about this LG beast!
Not sure how this can be a review when it’s sponsored?
Will this be released for markets other than US (EU)?
Hi E. Have you encountered any issues on scaling with macOS?
How are the viewing angles? Debating between this and the 32UN650
Що в Паундове бре' Искрене?
wow this monitor looks like a great package! I'm just wondering if 32 inches would be too big for my desk. What would be a good size of desk for a monitor like this?
I'm currently using an HP 32 in monitor on a desk that's 48 x 24 and it's been great (for me). If I wall mounted the monitor, I could probably get another 3 to 4 inches of distance between me and the panel but it's already a comfortable viewing angle. Not sure how big your desk is but hope that helps.
is it possible to have it without the ergo stand? I really do not know how my desk can behave with such thing attached on the edge of it.
I don’t think it’s possible
@@ThisIsE the software is windows 10 or windows 11?
They sell the exact same monitor without the Ergo stand, it’s
Video quality is on another level I really loved❤ it bro.
Love from India 🇮🇳
If it were Windows? Sure, clear text works great. However, 32" 4k on Mac? I have tried, and fonts (to me at least) look super blurry at the lower PPI. Also, I had bad experiences with VA panels shifting color on the edges and corners. The notification center's black/greys were terrible. Perhaps this monitor is better, but it'd be a hard pass from me.
agree, the text on Macs looks terrible on non apple monitors and I'm yet to find one larger than 32" which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I have a 34" Samsung Ultrawide and the text is poor. This is due to Macs having strange ways of scaling and a PITA for compatibility with external monitors.
Does this monitor have pbp/pip? Thanks
No. Even not compatible On Screen Control APP.
VA panel is the only minus for me.
They should include ms office n google chrome like samsung
How would you compare this One to the Samsung m8? Which One would you Choose and Why?
Both TVs.
Will this work with your iPad Pro?
Yep
What would be your set-up on this? Would love to see a video about this monitor and the iPad.
IPad connected through a USB C hub to provide both display and extra ports?
@@ThisIsE the software is windows 10 or windows 11?
@@zjhongolez what do you talk about iPad?Mini,iPad,Air,Pro?
All I can say is, VA panels suck.
Sleek. I wish they could hide the cables within the monitor arm itself.... better yet, some sort of "One Connect Box" at the base so you don't have a mess of cables.
U can hide about 2 cables in the arm
Can you compare it to the Samsung m8 please 😅
Is this wifi able?
Yes
Nice monitor but it is whit if it was a black yes ….
What missing is a magnetic webcam.
Would’ve loved it better in black. Or a metallic shade. The white wouldn’t fit my home office space.
True, although black displays usually look dull.
They do sometimes do a black and a white version of their monitors IIRC so it's worth looking out for in case it's available and they just shipped out the weird looking one for review.
@@ThisIsE the software is windows 10 or windows 11?
Why....I have the Samsung M7 32-inch 4k, I like it, although the VA panel is pretty much a downgrade from a similiarly priced IPS panel, I would love if LG launched this with latest IPS tech....with better brightness and colors.
I think the smart monitors already have too many things, that they have to cut the cost by using VA panel. If only they released a PRO or Ulltra version of this, with bit higher price but with best panels they can put (OLED, Mini-LED or even the new IPS Black ones). Thing is there are no top of the line 32-inch 4K monitors that are also Smart TVs.
just bought for $275 i think its a good deal!
Indeed it is
VA panel...Apart from entertainment, you covered that only in the video,
Its big NO for work purpose. Especially when you have to scroll white texts on dark background.
Neither is brightness high. Plus VA strains eyes way more.
Do you only do sponsered videos ?
I've been using VA panels for both regular, graphic, and video work, including this display. Perhaps you should try it in person.
I’ve used VA panels frequently for long periods of time working, and they’re just fine for productivity.
I’m usually not scrolling Reddit in dark mode for hours 😂
That said your concern isn’t one I’ve noticed in a quality VA panel. I’d give it a try, and at this price point? Pretty great deal.
@@erikludwig5515 This is NOT deal. It is reg price. Wait for deal...for $250 ?
@@alexgoriatchenkov Not sure what to tell you other than search the market for similar experiences and if you can find a substantially better price, go for it. This just happens to be a really neat option at a realistic price.

Nice. Let me know your thoughts when you start using it.
Quality is better than Samsung M8 I had that POS for 4 months and kept getting dead pixels, but now this LG have issues with the remote. After turning off the monitor it will not turn back on with the remote, if you turn it on with the button on the back of the monitor, the remote control does not work at all.
I contacted LG and they guided me how to “re-sync” the remote control with the monitor but same shit just happened again. FURIOUSSSSSS
@@ThisIsE the software is windows 10 or windows 11?
Power issues since day 1. I will send it back this Friday for a full refund. First failure Samsung M8 and now this LG.. WTF 🤬
Samsung M8
If you want picture quality, forget about this. Worst display panel i ever gotten. I thought the panel is a bit washed out in the store but i bought it because of the 'Specs'. Regret.
The best thing about this purchase is the ergo stand lol.
Especially that un boxing part 😍
can u make an updated IPHONE SETUP video 📼
Will do
@@ThisIsE the software is windows 10 or windows 11?
LG does not plan to sell this Monitor in Germany. What is wrong with them?
„Hey, LG I want to buy your product. It looks awesome.“
„No!“
😮
With respect to the price and quality they offer, I hardly find any company better than LG or DELL to purchase a life span monitor.
Its perfect but that black chin...
I bought this based on your review. I have to say there's no way you actually used this monitor. Especially connected to the MacBook that you have in your video. The max refresh rate on a MacBook is 30 hertz not the 60 hertz as advertised. The lag when dragging the mouse across the screen is painfully slow. When connecting as an external monitor, you need to have the remote so you can select the External Input, otherwise it does not connect.
Returning and buying some other monitor. I will NOT reply on paid RUclips advertisements such as this one.
I wouldn’t have done the review if it was that bad Jack. 60hz works 100%. 30 is unusable indeed. You had to either check the cable or see if you had a faulty unit. Mine works flawlessly and I actually use it at home.
@@ThisIsE I'm waiting for the 60hz HDMI -> USB-C cable to arrive today. I'll try to remember to update here after I get new cable
@@JackFurrhow did the usb c to hdmi work out?
@@madsthygesen9476 No. I used 4k USB-C -> HDMI and that didn't help. I ended up buying the LG 32UN880-B 32" UltraFine Display. It supports 60 hertz on my MacBook Pro and works well.

LG entered the smart monitors bossiness after Samsung achieved great success hopefully in the near future only smart monitors are made! with their integrated speakers and remotes
Absolutely. It’s a great trend that should turn in the new default
You see wings and company we have already 1 model 3 time now if any bundle offer or promotional offer get in touch with me in next 30 days
This monitor brings nothing new to the market
