LG 32GK850G vs 32GK850F

Hello guys!

Im on my way back to pc gaming. Been away for a while and only used a ps4 pro, but cant stand the 30 fps (why do I even bother with consoles, as I allways hate it LOL)

Annyway, as I just bought a RTX 2070 and must also buy a new monitor. Sold my 27 g-sync 144hz TN, when I sold my gaming comp before new year!

I want to up the size to 32 and what I have seen the LG 32GK850G seems really awesome.
But the freesyns version have HDR 400 (not the best) and have a wider colour gamut, is it worth getting or should I go for the g-sync thats the faster monitor. Or should I even wait; is there say a LG-32 950XX on the way ?

In this review, that HDR 400 doesent seems to do much, pretty much not worth it and it's way slower then the G model:

Or should I maybe settle for this one as it's so cheap, and wait for the nextgen screens to come out:
AOC 32" LED Curved CQ32G1

Some weaknesses with pixel responsiveness (especially compared to the G-SYNC model), high FreeSync floor.

Based on that I'd pick the G variant for this model unless you plan on purchasing a AMD GPU sometime in the future.
HDR 400 is a low end entry level spec, so little point factoring that into the equation.

Yeah I know that HDR 400 aint much to have, but atleast the F model then gets a wider colour palette, as said in the review. But well as you said, the g-sync is better as it's faster and have the g-sync benefit.
But something says to me: naah go for the cheap AOC, as it's a very good monitor. Maybe I will do that as it's almost half the price from the LG g-sync model. And just be happy with the AOC and wait for better tech to come out

Thanks for your answer!

If you're not sure on the LG monitors, I'd go for the CQ32G1 and get on with enjoying some gaming and use it almost as a temporary screen whilst keeping an eye on new monitor developments. Something may well come along that's perfect for you.

Well said keylion. Thats exactly what I was thinking

the CQ32G1 is dirt cheap, and get high praise all over it seems.
Right now I have an old - over 10 years BenQ 24 TN panel, but play on my Sony XE9005 Tv - great Tv Btw. But also need a good monitor, as I just love to play on a monitor.
Thanks for you input, appreciated!
