Completely satisfied with my purchase.

After testing different monitors, in different price ranges and sizes, I have to say that this LG pleasantly surprised me. 32 inches seems the right size for 4k to me. The color reproduction, at 95 percent of the DCI P3 gamut, is quite accurate, the colors are vibrant but not overdone, preserving its accuracy, making this monitor ideal for graphics work. I use it in combination with a 13 inch MBP with Apple's M1 processor and CalDigit's TS3 dock. I didn't notice any light leakage, which is so common with IPS panels. I am satisfied with my purchase.

For 4K, look no further than this monitor

IPS panel
Comes pre-calibrated
wide viewing angle
In this somewhat cheaper line of monitors, you're still stuck at the 'chin' (bottom of the monitor bezel is thicker than the sides and tops)

A great monitor for the money. Nice 4k IPS panel with of course a low response time, but also low input lag. Color production is very good and the monitor comes pre-calibrated (not perfect, but out-of-the-box a lot better than comparable displays); that saves some hassle. The brightness is more than enough for normal use -- even in a room that gets a lot of sunlight -- but isn't really enough for HDR if that's what you're looking for. 32 inches turns out to be an excellent size if you want sharp text on your screen by means of pixel doubling / scaling. On a 27 inch screen you quickly want to set the scaling (on Windows or OSX) so that it looks like a very sharp 1080p (in terms of real estate), but because this screen is 32 inch you can very well adjust the scaling on the equivalent of 1440p, which gives you super sharp letters and more real estate to work on. Of course 4K is great for video and games, but for other applications you really need the scaling because otherwise the letters are really very small. This works very well with this monitor. What is a pity is that this monitor does not have a USB-C/Thunderbolt connection. The 27UN83a and 27UN850 do. You can use a USB-C cable to connect the screen directly to a Thunderbolt port of a Macbook (or other supported laptop) without having to use a dongle. Of course with this screen you can just use a Displayport to Thunderbolt cable to achieve more or less the same thing (minus the fact that the USB-C solution also carries the data for the USB hub that is on the screen), but that cable is not included with this display. That's a shame, but this monitor is of course in the 6 series from LG and not in the 8 series and is therefore slightly cheaper and lacks this feature. All in all, it's a fantastic screen and well worth the money.

Good choice if you want an external MacBook screen.

correct operation with a MacBook M1 over USB-C
beautiful image in different resolutions
no paper manual - PDF found on web site
no QR code with link to the PDF manual

The stated 64.1 cm on the website is not the height of the screen, but the total height of the setup in the highest position. The screen is 42 centimeters high.
