LG Electronics has announced the price and specifications of its UltraGear 32GS95UE-B OLED gaming monitor. It is equipped with a unique Dual-Mode feature that allows it to switch effortlessly between high-resolution and ultra-fast refresh rates. This makes it ideal for both competitive gamers and professional content creators who require top-notch performance and image quality.

LG’s Dual-Mode technology is the star of the show, enabling the 32GS95UE-B to switch effortlessly between two distinct resolutions and refresh rates. For immersive gaming sessions, the monitor offers a blistering 1920×1080 resolution at a staggering 480Hz refresh rate, delivering unparalleled smoothness and responsiveness. Alternatively, content creators can toggle to a breathtaking 3840×2160 (4K) resolution at 240Hz, ensuring ultra-sharp visuals and exceptional detail.

Powering this cutting-edge display is LG’s proprietary WOLED (White OLED) panel technology, a departure from the traditional QD-OLED panels employed by competing manufacturers. Developed in-house by LG, the WOLED panel boasts an impressive 98.5% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 certification, ensuring vibrant and accurate color reproduction with deep, inky blacks.

Enhancing the immersive experience, LG has integrated its innovative Pixel Sound technology, transforming the OLED panel into a large-scale audio surface. This innovative approach promises to deliver a more immersive audio experience than traditional speakers positioned beneath the screen.

Connectivity options on the 32GS95UE-B include DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC) support and HDMI 2.1, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. However, the absence of DisplayPort 2.1 may disappoint some users seeking the latest connectivity standards.

Priced at a premium of $1,400, the LG UltraGear 32GS95UE-B OLED monitor firmly positions itself as a high-end offering in the 32-inch 4K OLED display market. Slated for release next month, potentially around April 15th, the monitor is currently available for pre-order, albeit with mixed early reviews on LG’s website, particularly concerning the matte finish on the panel.
