Scoring the best balance between frame rate, performance, and graphic detail is what the LG 32GP750-B gaming monitor is all about. There are newer screens with higher refresh rates. There are panels that deliver more pixels. And with a flexible budget, you can get a monitor that spans more inches. But as an affordable all-around gaming monitor, LG’s latest offering is pretty compelling.

The UltraGear 32GP750-B’s main highlight involves a 32-inch fast IPS panel with a 1 ms response time, 165Hz refresh, and 2,560 by 1,440 pixels. Of late, we’ve seen increased attention around high-refresh 4K gaming, revolving around cards such as Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090 AMD’s RX 7900 XTX, or the new generation of consoles from Microsoft and Sony. But the 32GP750-B’s combination of 1440p and 165Hz is almost overkill for most gamers on the PC.

For starters, it doesn’t just make for an overly affordable monitor. It also gives you half a chance of achieving those 100fps-plus frame rates with the latest GPU you can buy – and indeed actually buy or maybe even already own. 4K @144Hz plays out very well, to be sure, but in the current context of inflated graphics card prices, good luck driving that kind of display properly. However, if you’re looking to max at 1440p or run some productivity tasks on a wide screen, this might be the screen of your dreams.

The UltraGear has a default refresh rate of 165Hz that works with both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync. There’s another model, the LG 32GP850-B – with a minor overclock to 180Hz, and there’s a rock-solid response time of 1 ms.

Design & Features

LG’s monitor looks imposing on any desk – a 32-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio looks huge on most desks, and the UltraGear looks stylish with slim bezels and a dramatic, fared stand with red accents. Around the back, the 32GP750-B has a huge red ring and LG’s bold gaming logo.

Build quality is great too. It has a plastic construction and the panel is reasonably robust – certainly strong enough to fit on your home desk. That said, it isn’t free of build issues: the joystick is a little flimsy, and the panel wobbles too much when accidentally pushed.

For adjustments, it offers 110mm of height adjustment and 20 degrees of tilt movement. It also has support for 100mm VESA and portrait mode, but you’re not getting swivel adjustment.

The LG on-screen display menu is attractive responsive, and easy to navigate thanks to a joystick in the middle of the bottom panel. It’s well-organized, and every option is where you’d expect it.

Gaming performance

LG’s specification ticks most of the boxes required for mainstream gaming. It’s a 32-inch IPS panel with 10-bit color and a 2560 x 1440 resolution that delivers a pixel density of 92ppi – high enough to keep things crisp but modest enough to remain playable on a wide range of graphics cards.

Out of the box, the LG 32GP750-B delivers a reasonable Delta E of 2.30 and a color temperature of 6,001K – with the former result offering enough color accuracy for any game, and the latter score being a little cool – but it’s not far off to cause any problems. The LG monitor displays 99.8% of the sRGB color gamut, and it renders an impressive 94.1% of the DCI-P3 color space. That means it can display virtually every color needed by mainstream games and HDR titles.

When you switch over to the LG’s sRGB mode, you witness color performance improvement, with the Delta E moving to 1.09 and the color temperature at a steady 6, 401K. In this mode, though, the temperature is lowered, but the UltraGear 32GP750-B still has enough punch to handle mainstream gaming.

It’s a capable specification and the 165Hz refresh rate is good enough for any top-tier single-player game, and it’s easily fast enough for mainstream eSports – and if you opt for the model with minor overclock, things get better.

In some ways, though, the specification could leave some gamers yearning for more. If you’re a pro gamer who wants a particularly crisp single-player experience, then a 4K panel like the Acer Predator X32 FP will do the job, especially when combined with a gaming PC like the Alienware Aurora R14 with an RTX 3080 GPU or later.

LG’s screen maintains impressive color performance, but its contrast ability is a little less impressive. In default factory settings, the panel’s contrast ratio of 906:1 is middling, and that figure only improves slightly to 941:1 with sRGB mode activated. This contrast ratio is not disastrous – indeed, it is very reasonable for an IPS panel.

In real-world use, the contrast is a result of high black points, and that makes darker areas in games lack some depth or nuance as they do elsewhere. But the lack of contrast doesn’t affect gaming, you’ll still get a vibrant and immersive experience, even if it could do with more intensity. Normally, we’d expect an IPS gaming panel to hit a contrast ratio beyond 1,000:1, and a VA display will have far better contrast, albeit at the expense of color accuracy.

Should you buy the LG 32GP750-B?

Yes, if you need an affordable, 1440p gaming or productivity monitor

The LG 32GP750-B is fine, with a fantastic color gamut paired with the luscious visuals LG’s UltraGear monitors provide. Combining those with a speedy 165Hz refresh rate, quick pixel response times, and other gaming perks like AMD FreeSync and G-Sync support, the 32GP750-B doesn’t have a lot to be desired from a gaming monitor, especially at this affordable price point.

But it could have done a few things better, like better contrast and maybe a 240Hz refresh rate. Those details might have made a difference, especially since the UltraGear 32GP750-B is designed to be used as both a gaming and productivity monitor.

The 32-inch MSI MPG 321URX and Alienware AW3225QF stand out, offering largely equal or better visual quality from a 4K, 240Hz QD-OLED panel albeit in a more traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. But they cost a little more for the extra features and specs. At its price, however, the LG 32GP750-B does enough to merit picking it up over other options unless you want to play your games in 4K.
