LG Ultragear LG 32GQ750-B 32-inch Ultragear 4K UHD (3840 x Review
The LG 32GQ750-B offers a big 32-inch 4K screen and 144Hz refresh rate for under $700. It's a solid all-rounder, but our testing shows it has some clear limitations in motion clarity and HDR.
The 30-Second Version
A big, decent 4K screen for a fair price. It's a reliable pick for general gaming and media, but don't expect it to win any awards for color or speed.
Overview
The LG 32GQ750-B is a solid 4K gaming monitor that gets the fundamentals right, but it's not the flashiest option on the block. The one thing to know is this: you're getting a big, fast 32-inch 4K screen for under $700, which is a decent deal. It lands in the 87th percentile for display quality in our database, so the picture is sharp and vibrant. But it's a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none kind of screen. It's good for gaming and decent for entertainment, but it's not going to blow you away if you're a color-critical creative or a hardcore esports junkie.
Performance
The performance is exactly what you'd expect from a mid-tier 4K VA panel. The 144Hz refresh rate is smooth, and the AMD FreeSync Premium works as advertised to keep things tear-free. What surprised us a bit was the middling 64th percentile ranking for performance. It's fast enough for most people, but if you're chasing the absolute highest frame rates, you'll hit a ceiling here. The 1ms response time is a marketing claim more than a real-world guarantee, but for casual and even most competitive gaming, it's perfectly responsive.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Sharp 32-inch 4K picture that looks great for games and movies. 86th
- Solid 144Hz refresh rate with reliable FreeSync Premium support. 84th
- Good value for the screen size and resolution. 76th
- The included stand is surprisingly sturdy and offers height/tilt/swivel adjustments. 71th
Cons
- VA panel means you might see some ghosting or smearing in fast-paced scenes. 9th
- HDR10 support is basically a checkbox feature; don't expect true HDR impact. 30th
- Connectivity is just okay, landing in a lowly 34th percentile. 33th
- It's a chonky boy at over 9kg, so desk space and portability are afterthoughts.

Value & Pricing
For $693, it's a fair price. You're not getting a steal, but you're not getting ripped off either. It's a straightforward 4K 144Hz monitor that does its job without a lot of fuss or premium extras. If your budget is firm around $700 and you want a big 4K screen, it's worth considering.
vs Competition
This monitor sits in a crowded field. The MSI MPG 32" 4K 240Hz is a direct step-up competitor if you crave more speed, but it costs more. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is a whole different beast (and price bracket) with its mini-LED tech. For a more direct alternative, look at the Dell UltraSharp 27" 4K 120Hz if you prioritize color accuracy and a cleaner design for productivity. The LG's main advantage is screen real estate for the price.

Common Questions
Q: Is the HDR any good?
Not really. It's basic HDR10. It makes colors a bit more vibrant, but you won't get the bright highlights or deep blacks of a monitor with proper HDR600 or higher certification. Think of it as a nice bonus, not a main feature.
Q: Can my PC run games at 4K 144Hz?
You'll need a seriously powerful GPU, like an RTX 4070 Ti or better, to hit high frame rates in modern games at 4K. For older or less demanding titles, it's easier. The monitor won't hold you back, but your graphics card might.
Q: Are the built-in speakers any good?
They're fine for system sounds or a quick YouTube video in a pinch, but that's it. For gaming, movies, or music, you'll want to use a dedicated pair of speakers or headphones. Don't buy this monitor for the audio.
Who Should Skip This
If you're a competitive esports player who needs the absolute fastest response times, this isn't it. Go get a 240Hz+ 1440p monitor instead. Also, skip it if you're a video editor or photographer who needs perfect color accuracy; look at an IPS panel like the Dell UltraSharp.
Verdict
We recommend the LG 32GQ750-B if you're a gamer or general user who wants a large, sharp 4K screen and doesn't want to spend over a grand. It's a reliable workhorse. But if you're sensitive to motion clarity from VA panels or you need top-tier HDR, you should keep looking. It's a good monitor, not a great one.
