LG UltraGear LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor 32" 144 Hz VA Review

The LG UltraGear 32GQ750-B scores in the 98th percentile for color, making its 4K 144Hz picture truly pop. It's a heavyweight in both performance and literal weight, excelling for gaming, work, and media. Shop carefully—prices vary by $200, and at its low end, it's a steal.

The LG UltraGear 32GQ750-B is a 4K gaming monitor that scores in the 90s across the board for gaming, professional, and office use. That's rare. It's a 32-inch VA panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, landing it in the 92nd percentile for performance. But the real story is the color, which hits the 98th percentile thanks to its 90% DCI-P3 coverage. This isn't just a fast screen, it's a pretty one too.

You're getting a fully adjustable stand that scores in the 93rd percentile for ergonomics, plus HDMI 2.1 and FreeSync Premium. The trade-off is obvious: it's not a portable device, scoring a dismal 10.1 in that category. At over 9kg, this thing is a desk anchor. But if your desk is its forever home, the numbers are compelling.

Let's talk about what makes this thing tick. That 4K resolution at 144Hz puts it in an elite group for sharp, fluid motion. In our database, its overall performance score sits in the 92nd percentile. The 1ms GtG response time and FreeSync Premium mean you're getting a genuinely competitive gaming experience without major ghosting. The 400-nit brightness and HDR10 support are solid, but the star is the color. Scoring in the 98th percentile for color performance with 90% DCI-P3 coverage means games and movies pop with a vibrancy most monitors in this price range can't touch. It's a balanced performer that excels where it counts.

Here's where it gets interesting. This monitor has a wild price spread, ranging from $497 to $697 depending on the vendor. That's a $200 swing. At the low end, around $500, this monitor is a steal for 4K 144Hz with this color performance. At the high end, pushing $700, you're starting to flirt with more feature-rich or higher-refresh-rate options. Our advice? Shop around. If you can snag it near that $497 mark, the price-to-performance ratio is exceptionally strong.

Stacked against the competition, the LG's strength is balance. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 offers a wild 57-inch curve and mini-LED backlight, but it's a different beast entirely in size and price. The ASUS ROG Swift 32" QD-OLED will absolutely destroy it in contrast and response time, but you'll pay a premium and potentially worry about burn-in. The MSI MPG 32" offers 240Hz at 4K, which is smoother, but often at a higher cost and sometimes with less accurate color out of the box. The LG sits in a sweet spot: almost as fast as you need for most gamers, with better color than many VA panels, and often at a more accessible price point than the OLED and high-refresh champs.

Skip this monitor if your desk is tiny or you need to move your setup around. Its 40th percentile compactness score and 10.1/100 portability rating are serious warnings. Also, hardcore competitive esports players who prioritize 240Hz or 360Hz above all else might want to look at faster, though often more expensive, 1440p options. If ultimate pixel response or perfect blacks are your non-negotiable, look to high-end IPS or OLED panels, but be ready to pay more.

If you want a single, large, sharp monitor for a mix of high-fidelity gaming, content consumption, and even some productivity work, the LG UltraGear 32GQ750-B is a data-backed winner. Its near-perfect color score and excellent all-around performance scores make it a fantastic jack-of-all-trades. Just be sure you're getting it for the right price, and accept that you'll need a sturdy desk. It's not the flashiest monitor on the block, but it's one of the most well-rounded 4K options out there.
