LG 32GN50R Review

It’s good for those who want a gaming monitor with the compromise of an adjustable stand and decent image quality, for gamers, the tilt-only stand disappoints otherwise there is no major complaint about this monitor you are good to go if you skip these two things.

The response rate is also not impressive as other 165Hz monitors but you will not notice this as the refresh rate keeps everything smooth and responsible. Performance wise the monitor performs Build ANwell and justifies the price tag, this perfect for those who want a budget gaming monitor.

Build and Design

The body of the monitor is built from plastic and looks very similar to other LG monitors, the build quality is decent and the stand of this monitor is wide and captures a little bit of space in your desk setup, but the stand is not having the height adjustability so you can adjust the height of the monitor if you want, also you can’t swivel, portrait to different angle as it has only tilt adjustments.

While gamers always want a comfortable sitting position and the monitor adjustable is one of the major key features that gives a fully comfortable viewing position by adjusting the height, using swivel, pivot, and tilt adjustment.

Comparison

These are the top 3 competitors of the LG 32GN50R monitor –

1. Sceptre E275B-FPT168

The Sceptre E275B-FPT168 is a great option with a fast response rate, built-in speaker, FreeSync, and blazing fast 165Hz refresh rate, The price tag is also very low compared to the LG 32GN50R, the only downside of this monitor is the stand is not fully adjustable and the size of the screen is 27 inches.

If you are looking nf for a much better response rate and an adjustable stand with 165Hz refresh rate and FReeSync Premium then the SAMSUNG Odyssey G32A is a perfect choice, it is one of the balance monitors you can get at a little high price compared to the LG model but worth it.

3. AOC C32G2

No doubt the LG 32GN50R is one of the cheapest 32 inches 165Hz monitors in the market right now, but it lacks some features like fully adjustable and better image quality so if you want to keep these features then you have to choose another option as I mentioned above. You can choose one of that monitor that fulfill your requirements
