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.
@@mionome501 no. On my mac mini I had to go "scaled" and lower the resolution to 3008 x 1692 to make text larger.

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 .
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.
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!
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.
@@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.
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
@@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'.
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.
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
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
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?
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 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!
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.
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
@@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.
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.
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?
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!
Hi, would you recommend this screen to me after 4 years of use with my MacStudio for video editing or is there another better Ultrawide? thank you for answering me
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
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.
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!
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?
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!
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.
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?
@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
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!
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)
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. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089NJLJ2Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Yes was debating which one to buy for my newly acquired MacMini M1 Costco on line had them for $ 659.00 less a $ 100 ! so I I purchased it , it is not as fine as my LG 27 MD5KL _B Ultrafine which is a 5k monitor , which has decent speakers as well as a 1080 P camera but for $ 600 bucks felt it was a GR8 buy love the ERGO arm even though I have a hutch on my desk but was able to fit it in ! would love to see the comparison between this and the 32UL 950-W their is a slight difference between the specs when you compare on LG website but not enough to justify twice the price !
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 ;)
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...?
Can't turn off auto brightness!!! When I watch Netflix or any video media with subtitles, the screen dims when there is no subtitle on screen, and turns bright again when subtitles appear. I suspect it was the auto brightness setting, but there is no auto brightness setting. I tried turning off the SMART ENERGY SAVING setting, but the problem is still there. Then i turned off LG's DFC (Digital Fine Content) setting, still to no avail. There is no setting for it also on Mac's system preference display setting. I searched in the manual, explored forums after forums, still no answer. Any other people has this problem? Paired LG Ergo 32UN880-B with Macbook pro intel running on Catalina. Welp....
I know this comment was 9 months ago, but I just got this monitor in January 2023 and LG now provides the ability to turn off Auto Brightness in the settings: Settings > Quick Settings > Auto Brightness (toggle on or off). Anyone experiencing this issue may need to download and install the latest software from LG's website.
Not for gaming? Have fun trying to play new games in 4k with 120fps like f.e. Cyberpunk 2077. 4k 60Hz is perfect for gaming - especially if you want the cinematic experience. Stable 60fps is the perfect way to play story driven games. You can also use the monitor to play with your consoles. All the ultrawide monitors seem nice for playing pc shooter but are a bad choice for consoles. If you like to play all kind of games 4k 60hz is the way to go. Also 5ms is way more than enough.
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 know how it sounds right! That being said I totally understand what he means. I paired a 27" 4K monitor next to my iMac 27" 5K and after being spoiled with the 5K screen you can really tell the difference, it is not just the resolution but also colours for me. It is not a huge deal but it is there and you can easily spot it.
Dell u2720q is the king of this 4k arena and price range. I've had it for a year and it's been excellent in every way. My current GPU can't even keep up with it. So it's my GPU holding me back now, not the monitor. Warning: Older MacBook GPU's (like 2015 and older) are not capable of displaying to this monitor. I had to build a whole new PC because of this 😅.
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 this be vertical with the included mount? What's the minimum desk width for the C clamp?
Can I use this monitor with their Clamp, I have a Clamp for two monitors.
Can you tell us who made the panel? is it BOE?
nope. it is LG IPS panel
@@eclipseturbo9443 indeed it's an BOE made panel mv315qum-n20 , not LG.
Would this monitor be ideal for video editing?
I'm thinking of this as a second screen and a UltraGear as main - I know insane luxury ;)
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.
60 watts is plenty, I have never seen the battery drain on my MBPro 2016 when connected even during video editing
What is the difference between 27un880-b and this monitor?
@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
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! 😀✌
thank you for the video.
is it good for lightroom and photoshop?
if this was a 6k monitor i would so insanely happy
10/10 spotify band choices 😎
Which is your keyboard
your USB-C cable looks like under aggressive tension - @2:54 😬
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)
Can we use these monitor usb to connect Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard?
yes.
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.

@@JohnCastleSmokeless it isn't 4k
It looks like this one supercedes the 32UL950-W, which still goes for twice the price of this one. They're very similar otherwise.
Yes was debating which one to buy for my newly acquired MacMini M1 Costco on line had them for $ 659.00 less a $ 100 ! so I I purchased it , it is not as fine as my LG 27 MD5KL _B Ultrafine which is a 5k monitor , which has decent speakers as well as a 1080 P camera but for $ 600 bucks felt it was a GR8 buy love the ERGO arm even though I have a hutch on my desk but was able to fit it in ! would love to see the comparison between this and the 32UL 950-W their is a slight difference between the specs when you compare on LG website but not enough to justify twice the price !
It's not a direct replacement. The 32UL950-W is a higher spec monitor, with TB3, higher DCI-P3 rating, and is significantly brighter.
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 ;)
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
can this monitor be wall-mounted?
Can't turn off auto brightness!!! When I watch Netflix or any video media with subtitles, the screen dims when there is no subtitle on screen, and turns bright again when subtitles appear. I suspect it was the auto brightness setting, but there is no auto brightness setting. I tried turning off the SMART ENERGY SAVING setting, but the problem is still there. Then i turned off LG's DFC (Digital Fine Content) setting, still to no avail. There is no setting for it also on Mac's system preference display setting. I searched in the manual, explored forums after forums, still no answer. Any other people has this problem? Paired LG Ergo 32UN880-B with Macbook pro intel running on Catalina. Welp....
I know this comment was 9 months ago, but I just got this monitor in January 2023 and LG now provides the ability to turn off Auto Brightness in the settings: Settings > Quick Settings > Auto Brightness (toggle on or off). Anyone experiencing this issue may need to download and install the latest software from LG's website.
@@MrEmptyhanded Turned out it was a matter of Displayport cable. Thanks for letting me know though, I'm gonna upgrade the firmware for sure. Cheers
Does it have an kvm ?
Not for gaming? Have fun trying to play new games in 4k with 120fps like f.e. Cyberpunk 2077.
4k 60Hz is perfect for gaming - especially if you want the cinematic experience. Stable 60fps is the perfect way to play story driven games.
You can also use the monitor to play with your consoles. All the ultrawide monitors seem nice for playing pc shooter but are a bad choice for consoles.
If you like to play all kind of games 4k 60hz is the way to go. Also 5ms is way more than enough.
You can always play higher than 60 fps with some games. Having a low refresh rate doesnt seem to be much of a problem
I agree. I get an absolutely fantastic gaming experience from my 60hz Dell 4k monitor (u2720q).
Is there a smaller version?
Does this monitor auto rotate?
Hi, what is the keyboard model?
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
No speakers built in?
Does this work with m1 macbook pro?
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
Hi, anyone know the height of the stand?
17 inches, Bottom of screen is 8 inches above the desk at the highest level.
IS this g-sync??? Need to know
does anyone manage to get the two usb3 port on the back working? It’s not working with my MacBook Air M1 (connected through usbc cable)
You have to get a plugable dock and using with display port and with a tb.
What gear do you guys use? The video looks crisp.
“It’s not 5k is 4K oh no I can’t stand the lower resolution so bad I totally notice the difference “
I know how it sounds right! That being said I totally understand what he means. I paired a 27" 4K monitor next to my iMac 27" 5K and after being spoiled with the 5K screen you can really tell the difference, it is not just the resolution but also colours for me. It is not a huge deal but it is there and you can easily spot it.
Make a review of samsum cj79 ultrawide with tb3
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
lol why would someone subscribe before watching the actual review?
dude a retina display would cost a LOT more
Whats that desk pad called??
My guess is grovemade.com/product/wool-felt-desk-pad/?rfsn=3977485.1f6911
At my country the price is $660, is it worth it?
Edit: For 32" 4K how far distance for our eyes from the monitor?
If I want something of this quality for 4K gaming, what are my options?
4K gaming 😂 this probably has 60hz and freesync. At 4K even top of the line graphics cards will struggle to push above 60hz anyway.
@@David-oy6ck gaming is not only fortinite.
I play World of Warcraft TBC Classic on this on my Mac mini m1. No problem at all. I can not push beyond 60 fps anyway with this resolution.
Dell u2720q is the king of this 4k arena and price range. I've had it for a year and it's been excellent in every way.
My current GPU can't even keep up with it. So it's my GPU holding me back now, not the monitor.
Warning: Older MacBook GPU's (like 2015 and older) are not capable of displaying to this monitor. I had to build a whole new PC because of this 😅.
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. :)
Nice video, but the popping whites and reds hurts my eyes.
It still had the waken up issue.
Does it have vesa
