Another great video once again! the dual monitor setup is definitely a really good configuration for productivity work. Keep up the great work and can't wait for the next video!
Thank you so much for the continued support! More content to come. Cheers 🍻
I just got a used Lenovo P920 and with I have dual 2080ti's running 4K displays and I too love it for productivity, basic AI research and gaming. Using an extra GPU - each with its own monitor offers some advantages for CUDA programming and gaming performance. The thinkcenter 920 is the largest computer I've ever owned, their selling used for only 500 USD and the only one that supports supports dual GPUs out of box even if its "almost" outdated
Fantastic comprehensive review of the LG 32GQ950. As a mechanical engineer as well as owning a drone photography, videography and inspection company herd in Toronto, I prefer the efficiency of an identical dual display setup.
Glad you enjoyed the video, I appreciate the kind words! The dual monitor setup is definitely great for multitasking. Cheers to a fellow engineer 🍻
Dual monitors mate! Great work once again!
Thanks man! I appreciate the support!
love your video great effort. i pan on creating the same setup. do you have a video on connceting both monitors to the pc and setting it up through the pc settings ??
Have been using an ultrawide now for about 2 months and am going back to a dual monitor set up. Dual monitors for productivity seems to be the way to go.
I like dual monitors as well. Great video.
Thanks for watching 🙌
Dual monitors
Good job my guy
Hehe about the same conclusion as me, this is the best 32" 4K monitor for me since it's so color accurate and has very good picture quality and does 10-bit @160 Hz. BUT, it's not worth the price for that poor HDR support. It just happens to be the perfect monitor for my mixed usage of work and gaming right now. I will eye OLED and try to follow the news updates about MicroLED in a few years before I look for another monitor though. So I do not regret my purchase abit! And kudos for the swedish intro music :D
Glad you enjoyed the video, and it’s nice to hear that you are happy with the monitor too! Cheers and thank you for watching 🙌
I just bought two Asus rog swift pg32ucdm and I am sooooo happy
Great review! Shame about the HDR and dimming zones. Hopefully the next model they release will fix up those 2 issues.
Thanks for watching Kevin!
@@TwoByteThomasAfter some time with the monitors, could you suggest the best monitor settings you found for console? Response time fast or fastest, VRR basic or extended, gamma, etc…
Thanks 😁
Also, excellent review!
Bought two XG32UQ some days ago because this LG monitor is hard to find in my country. Sad that my monitors do lack back lcd panels :(
Since I currently have a 27" QHD Acer monitor I may go for that LG ultrawide and have the Acer on the side as extra real estate.
Definitely would benefit from the backlight on the LG too so looks like I'll have to shell out for it.
The Sphere Lighting on the 38GN950 is definitely awesome and usable. That paired with your current monitor should give you a lot of screen real estate for sure. Sounds like an awesome setup! Thanks for watching!
DUAL MONITORS 🔥🔥🔥
I work in Cyber security. I work mostly on multiple vmwares, watching video while taking notes in obsidian , purely planning to get dell g3223q model for productivity use. You think the monitor would be good for the use?
Planned to buy this first and then maybe add secondary monitor(looking at lg dualup)
Whats ur opinion?
Which would you recommend between this and the Asus ROG Swift PG32UQ?
i love DUAL MONITORS . but i have DUAL DUAL MONITORS. i have 2 PCs and 4 monitors. ALL LG Displays. and i love them. my main display is an LG 27GL 85
I recently tried an ultrawide monitor but I just couldn't get used it compared to my dual monitor setup so I returned it. I might end up getting this and a cheap secondary 4k monitor for my secondary. I just hope the price drops soon.
This is definitely a great choice!
I had 27inch 2x DELL S2721DGF, for almost 2 years, & now having 38inch LG 38GN950B, I use ultrawide for 4 months now, and I can say what, ultrawide is awesome, but 2 27inch monitors for work is better, I miss it...
Why are 2 smaller monitors better for productivity?
@@raphaeldwain7834 becuase ultrawide is like using one big screen, yes you can split windows, but if you open app that window is big enough, it covers all you windows or entire screen, then on dual monitors, one is always sit where you left it, & if you open something it open's only on one monitor.
Start with 1.25 x speed. You are welcome.
Fantastic Review! The main thing that bothers me on my current monitor is ghosting and black smear when moving, does this monitor have problems like that?
Thanks Isaac! As long as you keep it on the fast mode at 144Hz it’s totally fine when gaming. It’s only on the fastest mode at 160Hz when things can get a little hairy, so I usually avoid that.
@@TwoByteThomas Great thanks for the response!
Great video brother. Is it really worth the price, or can you get something similar at a lower price? It looks to me, you get what you pay for.
Thanks bro - I think being 4K, high refresh rate, Gsync compatible, nano IPS, etc. and keeping in mind that LG is a fine maker of panels, you do get what you pay for here. At the time, it was a bit tricky to find monitors that are both great at gaming and productivity. Newer OLED panels now are great for gaming, but with the risk of burn in aren’t great for productivity tasks. I think this monitor is a nice sweet spot, especially at 32”.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
How do you turn HDR off on this monitor?
Really enjoyed the breakdown of the specs and quality of this! I two just got these dual monitors on sale through prime day. I’m very impressed with it ,however I’m new to using dual monitors since I wanted to have setup similar to this and I was gonna ask if you have any recommendations settings for each monitor. I know it’s nowhere near oled but the black levels on this panel is so much better than any other ips panels.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I didn’t really mess with the settings as I found it nicely calibrated out of the box. The only setting I did turn off and would recommend is that smart energy saving mode. And yeah, nano IPS is still fantastic with that wide colour gamut. Still not OLED but contrast ratios are still decent here, without any risk of burn in, so for content creation/productivity I’d still go with nano IPS over OLED because of the burn in risk with OLED. I think now the best middle ground is mini LED if you’re looking for contrast ratios without burn in risk.
How’s the matte coating? Does it ruin the colors at all? Been thinking about getting this one myself hopefully during a good sale becuawe that price? Oof.
Hey there! It hasn’t been too noticeable. The light can hit it sometimes and it cause some glare, but I only notice it a bit when it’s a harsh light. Apart from that it doesn’t affect the picture quality and I’m loving the colours on this panel. And yeah, I’d definitely wait for a sale on this. I think this monitor is still regularly discounted to 999 USD which is still expensive but more reasonable.
Just grabbed it for $780.
Hi, do you still like this setup or any regrets not keeping the 38? I'm not sure which way to go.. how about a 38inch plus a second screen-why didn't you go that route? Is 4k a noticable improvement over the 38?
Good question. No regrets. I wanted the 32GQ950 from the beginning. So that plus the 38 was a little too wide for my desk. As I mentioned here since I want it to be aesthetically pleasing I didn’t want two different sized monitors with different heights, as well as I want my monitors to have the same resolutions. But that’s just me.
For my own specific work, I currently like having this setup. But you can’t go wrong with the single 38 or this. Just depends on what your situation and what you’re using it for. I have a review on the 38GN950 so you can check that out if you wanted. Cheers and thanks for watching.
What are the dimensions of this desk in the video? I’m interested in getting a dual monitor setup as well! Thanks!
The desk is 60" x 30". Hope this helps!
How do you find text clarity in programming? I find unless the monitor has high PPI it looks a bit blurry.
I find text clarity great on this monitor. 138 PPI here, so it's good (at least, I think it's good).
What happens if the monitors are not the same resolution... will this cause issues 🤔. FYI - I have an existing monitor that's 1920x1080 (240fps) and I've recently purchased the ultra gear 27" 4k monitor for complete a dual setup.

Hey Denis! It doesn’t cause any issues, I just personally find it a bit annoying as moving things between screens rescales the content. It’s really just a convenience thing and a nice to have. Your setup will be fine. Thanks for watching!
I am bit confused on 27 vs 32 inch 4k, I am software engineer, need monitor for programming only (no gaming) but high refresh rate at least 120hz. These two lg ultragear way to go. I am using macos (macbook m2 max). So not sure which one should buy 32 or 27? I prefer pixel should not noticeable from normal viewing distance.
I don’t notice any pixels up close on this monitor at 4K if that helps. In my opinion 32 inches is a great size for a 4K monitor. That being said, if you’re not going to be gaming, then this monitor is overkill. There are likely cheaper options out there.
how are you finding the cooling fans? do you hear them?
Good question! I actually don’t even notice them 🙂 I also didn’t notice them on my previous 38GN950.
I didn't watch it completely but i can already say it will be a pleasure to do so.
Are you able to multi-task the monitor while working
The screen size is decent for multiple windows open at the same time (I do it), but ultrawide monitors will still be the best choice if you have a one monitor setup.
What size is your desk?
60” x 30”
@@TwoByteThomas Thank you so much. I'm debating on whether to get 60x30 for my dual 32" and was worried it'd be too small.
I'm surprised it fits your desk so well.
lg 32GR93U-B same panel as LG 32GQ950-B?
No, different panel.

4:49 "the back of the monitor is where the 32GQ950 shines" what have we become lol RGB > screen.
The wall its facing be like O.O
I wasn’t referring to the RGB specifically, I was referring to the overall design which includes the hexagonal inlays. It’s obviously not going to be seen when used, but it’s what distinguishes this monitor from others IMO.

"Dual Monitors". Great review of the LG monitors by the way. You should consider creating coding content and your setup still looks gaw-geee-uhhssss.
Thanks Anthony! I appreciate the kind words. I may do one or two videos on coding in the future, but I’m definitely focusing on tech, gaming and desk setup content on this channel for now. Cheers man and thanks for watching!
'Dual Monitors'
this model has fan noise
To be honest, it's not something I could hear, even with two in the room. Fan noise is subjective though, which is why I can't say that everyone will experience the same thing... personally, it's not something that bothered me.
I was able to pick one up for $900 after taxes.
Great price, where did you get it from?
@@TwoByteThomas Amazon brand new! But now it’s up $1.038 before tax.
