00:00:02
so this is an LG 32in 4k monitor and it
00:00:06
has one key feature that you won't find
00:00:08
anywhere else and it's this button right
00:00:10
here which I'll get on to later on in
00:00:13
the video first let's get into the box
00:00:15
where we're provided with a HDMI 2.1
00:00:17
cable display port cable USB cable for
00:00:19
the built-in Hub and an external power
00:00:21
brick of course we also have the Monitor
00:00:23
and the monitor stand there is no remote
00:00:25
for it though which obviously for a
00:00:27
desktop monitor a computer monitor isn't
00:00:30
really common but LG did include one
00:00:33
with their 1440p 240 HZ OLED which they
00:00:36
released like last year or the year
00:00:37
before came with this really neat
00:00:39
monitor that made it so much easier to
00:00:40
change inputs to change settings things
00:00:42
like that without actually having to
00:00:43
reach for the monitor itself so it's
00:00:46
quite surprising to see LG not included
00:00:48
in a higher end monitor like this the
00:00:50
monitor stand provided I actually think
00:00:52
is pretty good it's got a small
00:00:54
footprint and doesn't have an overly
00:00:56
gamery look and there's a ton of
00:00:59
movement available so you can adjust a
00:01:01
monitor to the height and angle that you
00:01:02
like you can also rotate it if you want
00:01:05
it portrait I usually like to use my
00:01:07
monitor on a monitor armor like this one
00:01:09
because I feel like it just frees up
00:01:10
desk space and can look cleaner as well
00:01:12
when it comes to Ports there is two HDMI
00:01:14
2.1 ports and one display port there's
00:01:16
also a built-in USB hub and a headphone
00:01:19
jack there is no USBC Port so you won't
00:01:22
be able to do a one cable setup with
00:01:23
something like a Macbook the design so
00:01:26
considering this is part of LG's Ultra
00:01:28
gear gaming lineup it's pretty subdued
00:01:31
in the design which I definitely think
00:01:33
is a good thing instead of going for an
00:01:35
ultra thin display with a box on the
00:01:37
back LG have gone for a curved housing
00:01:40
all the way around the back I think
00:01:41
where LG has really nailed the design
00:01:44
though is when it comes to the front of
00:01:45
the display the bezels are equal all the
00:01:48
way around there isn't even any branding
00:01:50
on the front this might just be one of
00:01:52
the cleanest looking monitors when
00:01:54
viewing it front on I'll also leave a
00:01:56
link to the wallpaper down in the
00:01:57
description below I also want to show
00:01:59
you guys my gaming setup itself so I
00:02:02
have a desk from Vernal here a walnart
00:02:03
desk perfect size I think for a monitor
00:02:06
this size because I found that when you
00:02:08
have a monitor this big 32in monitor
00:02:09
it's actually better to have a deeper
00:02:11
desk so that you're sitting further away
00:02:12
from the monitor of course I have the
00:02:14
monitor on a monitor arm it's just a
00:02:16
basic one that I got from Amazon I do
00:02:18
need to get a nicer one so that I can
00:02:20
move the monitor around if I need to I
00:02:22
have the cable management system done by
00:02:24
LT who are also sponsoring this video so
00:02:27
cool to have a channel that I watch
00:02:28
myself sponsor over video and yeah all
00:02:31
the cable management here is done by
00:02:32
them which I'll show you in a second I
00:02:34
have the Deep cool c160 case which is an
00:02:38
incredible Case by the way it's so small
00:02:40
let me show you guys let me go around
00:02:42
just a tiny little case and it has a
00:02:44
7800 X 3D and a 4080 super and it is
00:02:48
silent like you just cannot hear it
00:02:50
unless you put your ear literally right
00:02:52
next to it it's incredible how quiet
00:02:54
that is when it comes to the keyboard
00:02:56
and mouse I have the wooting at he the
00:02:59
the newest one great gaming keyboard
00:03:01
that I feel like doesn't look overly
00:03:03
gamery it's just black and simple and
00:03:05
then I have the Logitech G proo wireless
00:03:07
gaming mouse oh my headset is the
00:03:10
Corsair hs80 incredible headset as well
00:03:13
oh yeah and I have some other
00:03:14
accessories I have a Logitech MX
00:03:15
creative console and then a nomad
00:03:17
charger for my phone whilst I'm gaming
00:03:19
just so that I can keep my phone topped
00:03:21
up so when it comes to the cables I have
00:03:23
the LTT cable management system which is
00:03:25
basically a suite of products designed
00:03:27
to make Cable Management super easy and
00:03:29
flexible
00:03:30
especially in cases where you need to
00:03:31
add and remove stuff to your set up
00:03:33
without actually having to remove any of
00:03:35
the cable management systems they have
00:03:37
these arches in various different sizes
00:03:40
which helps you organize runs of cables
00:03:42
while also offering you the flexibility
00:03:44
to remage the cables there's the
00:03:46
magnetic power Bar Key which allows you
00:03:48
to Anchor most power bars and surge
00:03:50
protectors to your desk or almost any
00:03:52
other smooth surface and then they also
00:03:54
have the magnetic cable tie holders
00:03:56
which help you mount cables to more
00:03:58
compact services like a desk table legs
00:04:01
as well as keeping cable runs tidy
00:04:03
between arches what I also like is that
00:04:05
these magnetic plates that you attach to
00:04:07
your surface have adhesive on the bottom
00:04:10
so you can just remove this layer and
00:04:11
stick it onto wherever you need to stick
00:04:13
it onto I have it stuck onto the bottom
00:04:15
of my desk but of course there is a hole
00:04:18
for drilling through as well so if you
00:04:20
feel like the adhesive isn't going to be
00:04:21
strong enough you can drill it straight
00:04:23
into the desk and of course when that's
00:04:25
stuck on you can then get one of these
00:04:28
things and it is super super strong like
00:04:32
I can even barely move it with my
00:04:33
fingers it is solid everything is
00:04:36
secured with strong neodymium magnets
00:04:39
ensuring that your parts stay where you
00:04:41
want them to stay so make sure to check
00:04:43
out the LTT cable management system I'll
00:04:45
leave a link to it down in the
00:04:46
description below one thing you can't
00:04:48
see and there isn't even any indication
00:04:50
of it is the built-in speakers which are
00:04:52
surprisingly good for building speakers
00:04:55
in a monitor they're hidden behind the
00:04:56
panel itself which I think is pretty
00:04:58
smart design now the not going to come
00:05:00
close to a dedicated pair of speakers or
00:05:02
a pair of headphones but if you do need
00:05:03
to listen to something in a pinch
00:05:05
they're actually surprisingly pleasant
00:05:07
when it comes to the display this is a
00:05:08
4K 240Hz W OLED panel which means it of
00:05:13
course looks incredible when watching
00:05:14
videos and playing games OLED is just
00:05:17
Superior compared to LED displays but it
00:05:19
does matter where you use your OLED if
00:05:22
you have a room where you can control
00:05:24
the light where you can have a dimly lit
00:05:25
room or a dark room OLED really comes to
00:05:28
life in a room like this where I control
00:05:30
the light OLED is just a fantastic
00:05:32
experience 4K at 240 HZ of course looks
00:05:35
amazing when playing games I feel like
00:05:37
there's quite a noticeable difference
00:05:39
going from 120 or 144 HZ to 240 HZ the
00:05:44
responsiveness is just incredible and is
00:05:46
great for fast-paced games this isn't a
00:05:48
glossy display though nor is it fully
00:05:50
matte LG have applied a coating which is
00:05:53
sort of in the middle I usually prefer
00:05:55
glossy displays so when I saw that this
00:05:57
had a matte display I was actually
00:05:59
expecting to be a little disappointed
00:06:02
but I had completely the opposite
00:06:03
experience I'm really surprised at how
00:06:06
good the matte coating is on this
00:06:07
display because it's in the middle of a
00:06:09
glossy display and a matte display it
00:06:11
still provides a lot of the benefits of
00:06:13
a matte display like anti-reflection but
00:06:16
even then it also looks as fantastic as
00:06:18
a glossy display does when using the
00:06:20
display you really don't actually notice
00:06:22
that it's not fully glossy I think LG
00:06:24
have nailed the in between look the key
00:06:26
feature though with this Monitor and I
00:06:28
think the reason why most people choose
00:06:30
this monitor is because of the Dual
00:06:32
refresh rate mode this is a very rare
00:06:34
feature and I think is currently the
00:06:35
only 4K OLED that offers this there is a
00:06:38
button on the bottom edge of the monitor
00:06:40
that lets you switch between 4K at 240
00:06:43
HZ to 1080p at 480 HZ essentially giving
00:06:47
you the best of both world so I just
00:06:49
want to quickly demo the Dual mode I'll
00:06:52
press the button have to give it a few
00:06:54
seconds for it to load up it's pretty
00:06:56
quick and you can see I have the black
00:06:57
Bard is here but you can actually change
00:07:00
how much of the screen it takes up so if
00:07:02
we go to the settings we can go to dual
00:07:03
mode and you can see here you can have
00:07:06
it on full screen basically taking up
00:07:08
the full screen and then you can also
00:07:10
have it on 27 in and then you can also
00:07:13
have it on 24 in so you have quite a bit
00:07:16
of flexibility here I personally like it
00:07:18
on 27 in you now have a high resolution
00:07:21
of 4K 240 HZ monitor which is great for
00:07:24
productivity and gaming as 240 HZ is
00:07:27
still very fast but you also now have
00:07:29
have a 1080p 480 HZ monitor which is
00:07:32
perfect for fast based games and Esports
00:07:34
now of course it can look a little bit
00:07:35
odd with the black borders but when
00:07:38
you're watching stuff and you're playing
00:07:39
games and you're focused on the content
00:07:40
on the screen you actually forget that
00:07:42
the black borders are even there 1080p
00:07:44
of course also doesn't really look that
00:07:46
great at all for productivity related
00:07:48
stuff so it really is only designed to
00:07:50
be used when you're gaming you're
00:07:52
essentially getting two monitors in one
00:07:54
here which is what I really think is the
00:07:56
unique selling point instead of having
00:07:58
to buy a high resolution 4k monitor for
00:08:00
anything productivity related and then
00:08:02
having to buy another gaming monitor
00:08:03
that's 1080p that's 480 HZ you now have
00:08:06
both of them in one I've been using this
00:08:08
monitor for 2 months now as my main
00:08:10
gaming Monitor and it is fantastic
00:08:13
overall it's a great looking monitor
00:08:15
OLED for me in particular is amazing and
00:08:17
being able to obviously switch between
00:08:19
the refresh rates makes it fantastic
00:08:21
when I'm playing games this monitor is
00:08:23
definitely targeted towards those who
00:08:24
want one monitor for both productivity
00:08:26
and intense gaming LG just also happened
00:08:28
to make it look very minimal looking and
00:08:30
it's great for any type of setup I'm
00:08:32
fortunate enough that I get to try lots
00:08:34
of different premium monitors you know I
00:08:35
have this one here I also have the MSI
00:08:37
321 urx I have my Pro display xdr I have
00:08:40
a studio display I also have another
00:08:42
display on the way another 4K 240 HZ
00:08:44
monitor so I like to think that I have a
00:08:46
pretty unique perspective when it comes
00:08:48
to displays and monitors and the
00:08:50
experience when it comes to them and I
00:08:52
really do think if you're looking for a
00:08:54
productivity related monitor that can
00:08:55
also be great for gaming when you want
00:08:57
to do high refresh rate gaming there is
00:08:59
nothing else like that out this right
00:09:01
now like it is an incredible Monitor and
00:09:04
if it wasn't for my Pro display xdr
00:09:05
which I use in my Mac setup I would
00:09:08
definitely be switching to this I would
00:09:09
use this probably as my main monitor
