Excellent CPU
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: Mkyeny
Verified Purchase:Yes
Switch from an i7 13700k to the 9800x3d and x870e platform and it's been painless. Didn't notice a huge difference in most games at 4k. Though, there were noticeable improvements even at native 4k... like in Baldur's Gate 3 with almost 40 consistent FPS higher in the lower city with a 4090.
I prefer having the option to drop in the next AM5 x3d CPU as a simple upgrade, since this platform has longer legs than my z790 platform did. Idle temps are about 15 degrees hotter than my 13700k with an NH D15 G2. Gaming temps are similar albeit with lower wattage on the 9800x3d.
As a side grade it was more expensive than it was worth since I don't notice a difference in everyday use for the most part. I did the switch because I wanted a platform with more longevity and CPU headroom since I am planning to get a 5090. If you are doing a new build though, I can say the CPU is excellent.

My LG CX 48in that I was using as a PC monitor died recently and I got this as a replacement. I wasn't sure if I was going to like moving back down to a smaller size or the curve on this (it's my first curved monitor) but it's been awesome so far. 32in is perfect for a desk of almost any size in my opinion and this is a lot more versatile/easy to use as a PC monitor than a big 48in TV was (which required its own stand to get it far enough away).
The curve is a nonfactor in games, movies, and web browsing (I wouldn't call the curve a pro or a con...it's there and it's not a big deal but if you do straight line critical work all day it might be an issue for you...as someone who has never used a curve before I think it's subtle enough and I kind of like it since it's something different).
The refresh rate increase from 120hz to 240hz is immediately noticeable on the desktop and in games where you can take advantage of it, but for slower story focused single player games where I crank up the graphics it's not a huge deal compared to the bigger TV I was using which felt just as good.
QD-OLED colors are awesome, especially as someone that loves super saturated colors. My previous WOLED was no slouch though, but this is slightly more vibrant in SDR and HDR (doesn't seem quite as bright as the TV in HDR though, but not an issue as someone that plays in a dark room as this gets plenty bright enough).
Last thing to mention is that everything is very sharp at 32in for 4k, and the text is completely readable for me at 100% scaling in windows, although 125% is a bit easier on the eyes. I do still miss the size of the 48in TV a bit. Everything seems so compressed at 32in and shrunk down (especially enemies in games) but I am getting used to the 32in more and more as each day passes. I can tell I will be adjusted eventually and won't look back because I slightly prefer the faster refresh over the larger size.

LG UltraGear OLED introduces the World~s First VESA Certified Dual Mode gaming monitor. On the large 32" screen, Dual Mode allows PC gamers to experience graphics-driven games in detailed 4K/UHD at up to 240Hz or gamers can play super fast-paced games in Full HD at up to 480Hz with a quick press of a hotkey. The innovations don't stop there. With Pixel Sound, this UltraGear's exceptional, lush audio comes at players from the OLED screen rather than speakers from underneath or behind the gaming monitor. The OLED screen is also is certified VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 which enables gamers to experience HDR in games as developers intended with stunning, rich black levels and bright, deep color contrast to produce the on-screen visuals gamers crave. The 32GS95UE will be the centerpiece of your battlestation with a gorgeous, virtually bezel-less design, that's height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustable. With plenty of connectivity options it's easy to see how this UltraGear is essential gear for an amped up battlestation.

Okay but has issues
on May 30, 2024

Verified Purchase:Yes
So I ended up returning this because out of the box in SDR and HDR there is a substantial amount of black crush happening and it's the worst I've seen on an OLED (my LG CX 48 in for example does not have this issue). Also there was some weird gamma issue where it was randomly raising the black levels of the black bars at the top and bottom of movies during playback.
I'm guessing these are firmware issues and they can fix them via an update but there is no guarantee of that and who knows how long you might have to wait. As it stands you have to pump up the black stabilizer to like 70 to adjust for the black crush issue and that seems to somewhat wash out the entire picture in doing so.
Also, while the matte coating is fairly tame and it's not super caked on I didn't find it any better than my Acer XB27HU1's coating and in some ways it was worse. The finer grain seems to cause more chromatic shimmering in white or light colored areas (this was especially noticeable in Bioshock Infinite as that has a bright light color palate.
I've used glossy and matte panels throughout the years, and while I will always prefer glossy I don't mind using matte...but this coating for some reason seems to have that "can't unsee it" kind of thing going on for me.
Other than that the monitor itself seemed great, no dead pixels and the size and refresh rate are perfect for a standard sized desk compared to a 48in TV. I guess I will try one of the QD-OLED monitors instead.

Not As Bad As I Was Expecting

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was expecting this to be terrible based on what other people told me, but I thought it was a fun movie and pretty good. Only real issue I had is that I like to rip my 4k/Blu-Rays to use with on my home theater PC/server and I was having a bit of trouble getting this disc to rip with Make MKV (no issues with other 4k titles for me). Not a big deal though.

Watch your favorite movies or programs on this 48-inch LG CX 4K smart TV. The a9 Gen 3 AI processor 4K delivers crisp, detailed visuals for an immersive entertainment experience, while NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync compatibility minimize stuttering and tearing while gaming. This LG CX 4K smart TV has a pair of 20W front-firing speakers for producing quality, room-filling sound.
What is the distance from the back of the TV to the very front of the TV stand?
Slightly under 10 inches from the back of the stand to the front of the stand. Although, the very front of the stand that touches my desk is wider at about 30-31 inches than the back which is closer to 16 at the furthest most narrow point. LG's website has seemingly accurate dimensions with/without the stand and RTINGS has a nice review that also covers dimensions. Hope that helps.
