This is the one that has been rumoured. It's a 32 inch screen and it does both 480hz at 1080p or 240hz at 4k. It's the best of both worlds, highest resolution and refresh rate and you choose which output to use. You change between 1080p 480 and 4k 240 using a dedicated button at the bottom of the monitor.

The base will have RGB and the monitor, if you want to use it, can output sound by vibrating a film in the panel which sends the sound through the panel towards you. Similiar to high top Sony TVs make sound.

Thats all for now, rest of the details will be shown off during CES next month

Imagine how pants that'll look 32" 1080p sat up close!

Who is going to use/need 480hz? Let alone pay the money it'll cost, just to what beat people in cs? No-one? I spose you could play cs at 1080p with a 4090 at 480fps? But who cares/needs this, other than some sad sponsored pro's in a comp?

What a waste of money.

Oh dear. Do you know what FPS a 4090 is likely to produce in CS:GO at 1080p? Obviously not :D

Oh dear. Do you not understand a joke? You clearly missed the point...:cry::rolleyes:
And CS:GO is dead...

My point was more no-one with a card that'd sustain ridiculous levels of fps over the years of ownership/cost outlay on a 480hz monitor, to match that FPS-HZ, is going to use it playing non professional MP games at 1080p, let alone use it as their only monitor... You've a 4090, I'd of thought you'd of grasped that. Obviously not:D

Dunno why guys are angry. The monitor has a 4k 240hz mode as well, you don't have to use 1080p 480hz if you don't want to lol

They could have used 1440p instead of 1080p but the thing is because 1080p divides evenly into 4k, it may look cleaner than displaying 1440p on 4k. It's obviously a native 4k panel, it's just they can't do 480hz at 4k so use the firmware to force it down to 1080p if 480hz is selected

The 480hz mode is just an extra cool feature that other monitors don't offer and you don't need to use it

Interesting that all of the new monitors pegged for next year are using Samsung panels; wonder whether it’s related to the sub pixel layout.

1080p 480hz is definitely for competitive for players but doubt anyone would do that on a 32” - still interesting tech. I’d want 4K larger screen for AAA titles, but lower res to drive a higher refresh for fps games.

Maybe the monitor will actually let the user put it into the 480hz mode and then go into Nvidia or amd control panel and set resolution to 1440p. That would be another option if it's available but we'll have to see if the monitor lets users do that without having to modify the meta data.

The reason I hope the monitor lets users do that is because it fits in the bandwidth requirements. 4k 240hz needs 74GB/s bandwidth and 1440p 480hz needs less than 74GB/s so theoretically it should work unless LG blocks it because the scaler or some other chip inside the monitor can't handle 480hz at over 1080p

Not angry, just sounds pointless for anyone other than pro players at comps. And it won't be cheap, so who cares/needs it as a home user, let alone at 32"... I'd rather put that money towards a decent 65+" 4k tv if I had a 4090 etc...
I am sure LG did their research and there is a market for it rather than just come up with something random :D

They are really pushing OLEDs forward.
Yeah course they did m9, what with all the statistics for gaming hardware pointing to every gamer ever only owning a 4090. Silly me.

That was my point, it's for a very small minority and mainly pro's, and you'd no one who has a 4090 is going to be wasting their time playing on a 32" 1080p screen on MP games online, pointless. No-one bar sponsored/pro's spend 2k on a gpu to play casual MP fps online at home.
It's LG, ****s will be asking £2k for it.
Yep, at least.

first review

Summary: 32inch 1080p looks good for gaming, 480hz is amazing and it will be Optimums new esports monitor. Text clarity is also good

Text clarity for reference to show how good it is on this monitor

4K IPS top
4K QD-OLED middle
4K W-OLED bottom (image from this monitor)




Some people might look at this and think the w-OLED looks even better than the IPS

It does look great but does seem like they are different pixel density so might not be a fair comparison. Definitely less screendoor than the qd oled.
