LG Confirms Pricing of 32-Inch OLED Monitor with 4K 240Hz/1080p 480Hz Dual-Mode at $1,399
LG has officially listed its premium gaming OLED monitor, featuring the innovative Dual-Mode technology. This feature allows users to seamlessly switch between two resolutions and two refresh rates, catering to both competitive gaming and high-resolution content editing needs.
Diverging from the prevailing trend of 32-inch 4K QD-OLED monitors from other manufacturers, LG employs a different panel type known as WOLED, developed in-house. This panel supports a 3840x2160 resolution at 240 Hz and a 1920x1080 resolution at an impressive 480 Hz. The display is confirmed to offer VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 with up to 98.5% DCI-P3 color gamut expression. For variable refresh support, the monitor is compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.
In addition to its advanced features, the 32GS95UE is equipped with Pixel Sound technology, transforming the panel into a large-screen speaker. Sound is emitted from behind the OLED screen, aiming to provide an enhanced audio experience compared to traditional speakers typically located underneath the screen.
Despite its notable features, it’s important to note that the monitor lacks DisplayPort 2.1 support, confirming DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC) support. However, it does include an HDMI 2.1 port.
LG has set the official price for the monitor at $1,399, placing it on the higher end of the 32-inch 4K OLED spectrum. The expected shipping date is next month, possibly around April 15. While the monitor is currently available for pre-order, early reviews on the LG site, though limited in number, have expressed concerns, particularly regarding the matte finish on the panel.
