LG’s $699 UltraFine Ergo 32" 4K Monitor (LG 32UN880-B)

- LG offers 4K and 5K UltraFine monitors designed in partnership with Apple, which can be purchased through the Apple Store as an alternative to Apple's own super expensive Pro Display XDR, but those haven't been refreshed since 2019 and the 4K model is sold out from Apple's site.
LG also makes other UltraFine monitors not promoted by Apple, including the new LG UltraFine Ergo, which we thought we'd check out in our latest RUclips video for those looking for newer LG technology.

I installed this monitor this yesterday, could not be more happy!
I just bought this. It's fantastic. The color is really good out of the box. It's 4K not 5K but to me still looks really sharp and clear. I had to poke a hole in the desk but it was very easy to set up.
I got it on sale for $599 direct from LG. Worth every single penny. Very Very good display.
Can you choose larger text in the display preferences as available in the built in display of the mac?
@@mionome501 no. On my mac mini I had to go "scaled" and lower the resolution to 3008 x 1692 to make text larger. Windows doesn't have this issue because of the way they do scaling. of course you can still CMD + / - to scale text on a Per App basis. But as you likely know, that is limited to "sections" sometimes like in Mail app. (cmd + only enlarges text on the email, not the preview on the left side etc.) There is no "best for display" option like on an iMac.
@@mgaming7 Ok thank you very much. macos for me is not practical with an external monitor. but I saw other youtubers with the larger text option if you look for the monitor on apple insider channel around minute 7.30! are you using the original hdmi apple adapter?
@@mionome501 I am using HDMI out from mini. No adapter.
Curious why you had to poke a hole in your desk? I have a fairly deep depth desktop and I was wondering if this monitor arm will get it close enough for my viewing. Arm does not look like it will do it for me. Thanks...
I have this monitor for a week. And I can’t be more happy with it. The color accuracy, hdr and 4k for this price point plus the ergo stand is unbeatable. Plus you can have perfectly casual gaming . I have the ps4 pro connected and I’m 4K hdr looks amazing .
Your lucky because my dad wouldn’t get me anything for gaming because he thinks it’s a waist of money
How is the brightness? I have a 24" Ultrafine 4k right now, but I need something bigger.
@@MilanZ12 If you can't spell waste correctly then maybe you should be more focused on school than gaming.
@@juliansedor7101 Damn lmaooo
@@MilanZ12 Agree with dad. Waste.
thank you , I bought this and I am extremely satisfied using this with my 13 inch m1 map
Hey, great video. Thanks for providing a clear and quick review of this monitor.
I was wondering how flexible the monitor(stand) is in terms of swivel when you put the screen off-center, very close to the wall (as you have @ 1.35). To what extend can you swivel/rotate the monitor 90 degrees, without hitting the wall?
Thanks for the review. How long is the included USB C cord and will it deliver the 60 watts to my 13" Mac using that cord? Thanks again.
The video image quality of YOUR video in very sharp ! Good !
thank you for the video.
is it good for lightroom and photoshop?
Can you choose larger text in the display preferences as available in the built in display of the mac?
Does it work perfectly with the LG 32UN880B M1 Macbook Pro? Charging, correct image? Isn't it a problem that the monitor is not suitable for thunderbolt 3? Thanks!
I own this monitor as of two days ago. Love it. Use it mainly for programming and dark screen use. Pairs well enough with my MBP whenever I need to use it as I always disable retina display anyway.
where abouts are you located? My supplier here in Australia has pushed this back with no delivery timeframe..
How's the text clarity in vscode or other IDEs?
@@mswhong1 I'm in the UK.
Hi Aaron, I am interested in this monitor and wondered if you could take a measurement from the top of the clamp (level with the desk) to the bottom? I’m working with a 1 inch desk and 4 inches of clearance below. I can’t find these dimensions anywhere online. Thanks!
Is there a built in speaker?
What gear do you guys use? The video looks crisp.
For the USB-C connection for this monitor via my mac. Do I need to purchase a thunderbolt cable? Or I can use the charging cable that comes with my mac.
Disappointed that 4K monitor is not 5K monitor?! Really!? You get 95% DCI-P3 32" 4K display for $700 and you complain!?
First world problems ... jeez
@@devrp shit most of the 1st world can't even afford this
@Dave how have you found the mount? Does the monitor wobble at all?
@Dave ah that sounds good! Thanks for the feedback! It's between this and the Dell U2720Q
People are never satisfied
Hi mate, very nice review. I am about to buy the MacBook pro with the XDR display to do some HDR colour grading and I am wondering if this monitor will look similar when I hook them up. What do you think? (I obviously cannot afford the XDR monitor ;)
Do you recommend this monitor for photo and video editing?
0:43 lens is without lens cap on the bottom :/
Thank you for sharing!
@MacRumors Do you think 32ul950 is better than Ergo? And how much? I am doing a lots of work in photoshop and illustrator dont know if the price difference is
justified? Tnx
Hi, how far does the monitor reach from the end of the table. I have a wide table, just want to make sure I will get it close enough.
I agree that having a higher PPI is better, but which monitor of this size has higher ppi? iMacs (LG) 27''is the max.
Can this be vertical with the included mount? What's the minimum desk width for the C clamp?
Does the super dock work on iPads?
Is this comparable to the iMac M1 display?
I’m considering getting a Mac Mini ($600) and coupling with this display (now $500) for a total of $1,100 Vs the iMac base model for $1,250.
Does it have a non-clamp stand for desks without enough clampable edge? Also, will it work with M1 macs? I've heard they have issues with wide monitors like this. Thanks!
Thank you so much :)
Great review and to the point. I’m currently using a 2017 27” iMac with Retina display. If I purchase this monitor for photo editing will I be disappointed?
the problem with these arms is theres a sideways gravity that causes rotation of the monitor and it drives me crazy trying to align the bottom flat again, i feel like this will have the same problem
I'm thinking of this as a second screen and a UltraGear as main - I know insane luxury ;)
I attend to buy this monitor but it released on 2020, 2 years ago. Will a new version be available in the future?
Great review! What's your favorite monitor under $800 in the 32-34 inch range (not ultrawide) focusing on amazing picture, color accuracy and modern design and ports? Thanks!
This LG is the way to go just got it.. its lit!
How does it stack up against Retina? As a web/UI designer, sharp pixels are crucial for me. Currently, I'm using a new 16-inch MBP from work, mirroring it to my own iMac M1. However, I'm tired of constantly mirroring, especially since I can't use the iMac as an external display. While the mirroring isn't quite Retina anymore, it's still pretty good. I'm curious how this alternative compares and if it's worth buying on sale or if sticking to mirroring my iMac is a better choice. Appreciate your insights!
does it offer screen split options?
I love docking.
Does the monitor USB power devices like monitor lamp or anything when connected to your desktop with DisplayPort
How would this monitor word with iBooks? I like to read book on my Mac mini in a 24 HDTV, but I wanted a bigger display.
I want a monitor with the brightness equivalent to the Imac. Any recommendations?
Hello, is it possible to charge MacBook pro 16 M1 with this screen in USB c or not (cause 60 Watt) , it will charge slowly or not at all ? Thanks
How wide is does the clamp go?
thank you
Excellent review! How crisp is text when compared to the LG ultra fine 27?
Hi, what is the keyboard model?
Question: at 32 inches, do you think I can scale down the display in osx to get more real estate? Meaning is it big enough for the smaller fonts and such?
Can you choose larger text in the display preferences as available in the built in display of the mac?
Can you use another stand with this monitor? My desk is not compatible with the c-clamp method.
Yes. Its Vesa
Is this a good monitory for editing 4k video editing?
I mean... how hard it is to make the USB power delivery 90w?
Not at all. Lenovo gets it done perfectly!
Which of the ultrafine monitors, in 21.5, 27, or 32" carry quality similar to the apple retina displays?
Thanks
The 21.5” and 27” have the exactly same quality with the 21.5” and 27” iMacs, the 32 has the worst pixel density of the 3
@@trillionairegrindset7175 How noticeable is the difference when it comes to pixel density? I'm just about to get the M1 Mac Mini, and this monitor looks very appealing. But I do love 'retina'.
Exactly the question I was looking to have answered! So it looks like I’ll be buying two 27’s.

This actually looks like an ideal display even for a novelist like myself, particularly thanks to that 90-degree pivot that will let me look at more of a long-form text document at a glance. Thanks for the review on this, and while $700-ish (plus tax) is gonna put a hurt on my budget, it looks like this piece of hardware is well worth it.
Addendum: It turns out there's also a smaller, more affordable 27" model.

I just bought the LG 70 inch TV as my extended monitor on my Mac. It's everything I had hoped for.
What is the difference between 27un880-b and this monitor?
Did I miss it or was there no word about the actual dpi? I mean I get it's not retina, but what dpi is it then?
Hi, I've purchased this monitor, but I found out that the USB ports at the back don't charge my AirPod case - is this normal? I've tried both USB-C and A. The charging case is fine, the cable is fine too. It charges my iPhone, strangely, but not the case. Any advice, please?
Hi, can anyone let me know how low the monitor can go on the stand?
great video! would you reccomend this monitor for photo editing besides video editing in addition to the mcbook pro 2018? you think color accuracy is fine enough? -considering that I do not print and work fully professional yet?! wouldd love an answer!
I’m interested in the same question…
@@aannovi82 hi Andrea! I bought and haven't wasted a single second for regrets. Perfect Size. Crazy Colors all amazing go for it! 😀✌
Does it have a inbuilt kvm switch ?
Would this monitor be ideal for video editing?
can this monitor be wall-mounted?
60 watts is plenty, I have never seen the battery drain on my MBPro 2016 when connected even during video editing
Thanks for the video.
I want to know the compatibility with the MacBook Pro 16 inch ?
I try before with LG 4k 27inch and only last 1 hour, after that the macbook overheating and lagging all of sudden.
I own this Monitor for couple of months. When I use with open lid MBP got hot fast. I have to use it in clamshell( sadly). Even when I use in a clamshell when i starr youtubes videos o videos MBP got hot. But is a goog monitor. I think apple has a lot of issues with external monitors no matter what brand be monitor is
@@adanpalma4026 Thanks for your information. Could I bother you with another question? What do you with the "get hot fast" issue? Do you use something to cool down your mac? (I just bought this monitor and I will be using it with a macbook pro 16 inch, do you have any suggestiongs?) (I won't use it for having, only work and video editing)
I could imagine the overheating results from powering the MBP directly using the USB-C connector on the display, which has less power output than the wall adapter for the MBP.
Does this work with m1 macbook pro?
Is this still a good monitor for 2024?
It still had the waken up issue.
What is the 32” LG option for people wanting Thunderbolt 3 to a MBP and the ERGO stand?
None ATM. Ideally LG should consider TB3/96W PD/4-5K/Ergo Stand combo - this would be ideal companion monitor for MBP 15-16" working with hi-power tasks
Alex Pasek Thanx for your prompt reply. I didn’t think LG had anything for MBP TB3 owners. Kinda hard to believe?
@@Gordonbanksapp Their 5K 27MD5KA-B is close: has TB3 and 94W but no Ergo, no HDR, only 27" and cost more $$$$.
So with this 32" Ergo they eat their own tail and killing future market for 32" 5K option. Unless they will replace 5K with 32"/6K/TB3/96W @ $1200-1400 price point. Then products will be clearly defined.
Hi
Great and very informative video but I have a question please, My setup is this monitor and the new 2020 Mac mini m1, Can you please advise me on the best display settings so everything looks as they should at the moment the settings I am using everything looks small but of course that’s probably my fault,
Thanks
Hi Dennis, did you get any solution for your resolution issue ?
Can any Mac users speak to external audio questions with regards to this monitor?
I read a review that mentions since it is not designed for Mac, you cannot control the volume with your Mac's laptop. I even asked it from an amazon seller of the monitor and it confirmed.
So am I nuts or the only way to adjust the volume on the monitor makes this insane for Mac users?
Viedo editing enthusiast here, adjust volume like crazy up.
Really want grab this monitor + external audio but just not sure I can wrap my head around the usability now for adjusting audio volume...?
True you control the volume with a joy stick /button but no big deal it is easy
I bough the 2020 LG 32UN650 4k IPS. The only difference in this model and the 650 is this one has a stand and a couple more ports. I bought a USB-C Thunderbolt to Displayport cable and it works great. I'm not sure why someone would need to pay more. The Displayport will give you better color accuracy too.
Apart from the incredible ergonomic stand, the USB-C charging (and data connection to the USB 3.0 ports built into the monitor that the review didn't mention) is a lot of added value for some, especially if you have a lowly MacBook Air with only 2 USB-C ports. You can't get that with a DisplayPort adaptor. I'm thinking of changing to this from a 27UL850 which is a lovely screen but a bit too small for me nowadays, and the usual LG C-shape stand it has is awkward when it comes to desk space.
@@owdoogames I just bought the LG 35WN75C for 400€, charges the mac and got a black matt stand that looks and works exactly as the one here. It is perfect for me as a programmer because I can split screen easy. It is true that the stand saves a lot of space, I even went for a desk that is not so deep because of it
Thoughts on when apple or LG will offer a successor to the current UltraFine 21.5 and 27?
Personally, I don’t know and I feel like it might not happen.
Ultrafine 24 and 27
Not bad. Just waiting for the TB-4 version of this device for a really complete new mac line up. And, of course, waiting for the 1st MacBook with TB 4 ... ;-)
IS this g-sync??? Need to know
I bought an LG Ultrafine 4K display last month to connect to my iMac. I think it's a great display but for the first couple of weeks I noticed some annoying light bleed around the edges. Oddly, after 3 weeks of use the light bleed is gone. I was disappointed to to see the light bleed considering the $700 price and because I plan to buy a second when I'm ready to retire my 5 year old 5K iMac. I found others also complaining about the problem. LG wasn't much help when I called them. Apple was more helpful since I bought it from Apple's online store. I have a long return time because I bought this display during Apple's holiday shopping time. Since the light bleed has gone away I feel confident about buying a second. These displays can be daisy chained which is a very nice feature. I plan to do that.
This monitor is cheaper than the 1.5k screen, its only 700. Later, its worse than the old LG ultrafine released years ago for the Mac.... well thanks for the honest review
I would have ignored the lack of 5K resolution and paid a little more if this would have been a TB3 display. Without it a no go for a MacBook pro 15" or 16" LG miss the mark on this one.
Are you sure there's such a thing as a Thunderbolt display? Do you mean it has a TB3 dock built into it? Seems like a waste imo
@@creayt I have an LG Ultrafine with a TB3 connector currently, it is 4K and 31” The model is older now (in computer years) and does not have the cool Ergo setup.
with the apple M1 this will work well
what resolution did you have to use. I have another LG 32" 4k, but keeps going to full 4k which is to hard to see.
At my country the price is $660, is it worth it?
Edit: For 32" 4K how far distance for our eyes from the monitor?
I heard every word you said in Dave Grohls's voice. Made a good video even better.
Yeah man! Go to the studio and record some stuff
Does this monitor auto rotate?
To match Retina display PPI you need 4k at 24". Anything bigger will a lower PPI.
The UltraFine made for Apple is a 5k monitor at 27". That's 217 ppi and has Retina affect at 16 inches.
Even at 4k 32" you can have the same affect but have to sit 25" away from the screen. I don't think anyway really needs to sit closer than 25" from the screen when you have 32" across so I think the review's point is moot.
For people who want an MacBook like experience the only valid complaint with the resolution is that it isn't 5k which allows for extra tool room on screen when working with 4k content. Obviously that wasn't what they were targeting with this monitor though.
Which is your keyboard
No speakers built in?
Weird seeing our band come up whilst researching a new monitor haha.
Ayeee! Thanks for watching and making good music.
What monitor you going with? Let me know if you have more questions.
So the part where you talked about quality not being like the Ultrafine displays, can you expand? I am noticing a bet of text blur and lack of crisp/sharpness connecting my new M1Max Macbook to a 1440 display, so I am looking for a 4K display that can fix that.
Having the same issue. Please let me know if you ended up buying this.
Can you give an update? did you go with this monitor?
@@coltonw.9535 Did you find any more information about this??
if this was a 6k monitor i would so insanely happy
Does it have an kvm ?
Nice video, but the popping whites and reds hurts my eyes.
You said you prefer higher pixel density at 32 inches right? And 4K resolution is not enough. But you simply can not play games at high settings at a 5K 32 inch display. You take that into consideration right? No graphics card can sustain 60 hz at ultra settings in games at 5K resolution. And 4K at 27 inches is amazing and also people say 27 inches is too small for 4K and they recommend at least 32 inch displays. So 4K at 32 inch display should still be really sharp.
As i said before 5K retina displays are not for gaming. Not yet anyway.
Great review by the way. :)
Can we use these monitor usb to connect Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard?
yes.
I like this monitor, 32 inch and 4k but I have a built in desk..no use for me

What's the difference between LG 32UN880-B LG 32UN880-A and LG 32UN8800. It is really confusing! btw great video!
just the colour!
You keep saying it doesn’t have the Retina display look but you do know that the only “Retina” option other than the iMac is the LG 27” 5K, right? What else are you comparing to? There is nothing else. (Well, ok, there’s the Apple 6K but whatever)
Looked at this, went with the Dell U2723QE.
Do you like Dell U2723QE?
I feel like the DPI is kind of a dealbreaker. That was the main benefit to me of using the 21.5 or 27 ultrafines.
That said if you want 32 inches then the price is good and it’s probably a good deal
I would love to see this monitor with 27”
The smaller Ultrafine 4K was a 24” not 21.5”
doomtomb3 not true. The first gen ultra fine 4K was 21.5 inches and the second gen ultra fine 4K is 24 inches. I did a ton of research into upgrading my first gen to the second gen and there’s a PPI difference as well. Jank as hell
Alexander Egiyan This monitor will also be available in 27 inches. Not released yet, but listed on the LG website. (27UN880-B)
Very cool, but even the 32” is not available in Europe yet
dude a retina display would cost a LOT more
