A proven monitor in terms of ergonomics with the clip-in arm with cable management beautifully hidden within. Great colour reproduction with 10 bits support at 60Hz and 350 nits, Support up to 60W power over USB-C.

2 models within this series 32UN880-A & 32UN880-B, both are exact in hardware specs, A has white back casing, while B has black back casing. It’s my final justified choice replacing my years of iMac 27” 5k experience.

    stunning monitor, good price

    I have two of these. Great monitor.

    • lulzenberg on 05/08/2024 - 17:16

      Do these have display auto-detect? the 27s don't 🤔

    • spicygastropod on 05/08/2024 - 17:34

      I use two for work. If you have them side by side in landscape you’ll need a deep desk to set them far enough back.

      • slankets on 05/08/2024 - 17:46
        +1

        Yes I have that problem too. I use the clamp and because of the folding arms, I can't get it further back compared to a regular monitor. I'm just sitting closer to the screen now /facepalm

      • bleeder on 05/08/2024 - 17:51

        I'm going to just have one, so I won't have an issue pushing it back? My desk isn't the deepest

          +1

          You’ll be fine with just one and a regular desk.

          It’s only an issue if you have two, because the combine width in landscape mode is huge.

          • aec on 05/08/2024 - 22:00

              @aec: I've had monitor arms before and I just attach it out to the side so I can push the monitor right back

    60 Hz is fine for most games, the only real disadvantage it gives is for fps games like shooters.

    • s3rialthrill3r on 05/08/2024 - 17:37
      +2

      60Hz is probably not good enough for any modern games which involve skill-based play, as input lag is not just an issue for FPS.

      This isn't a problem if you're using a CRT, but I'll leave it at that.

      • GeneralSkunk on 05/08/2024 - 21:50

        It’s been good enough in the years between nowish and 20 years ago when everyone was using 60 Hz LCDs. But “good enough” is very subjective.

      I upgraded from 4k 60hz to 1440p 165hz monitor around 18 months ago. I think 60hz isn't very bad for gaming, but not good enough in 2024. I prefer 90fps+ even AAA game, it's much smoother and responsiveness. If I already has 60hz monitor, i can live with it. If i am buying a new gaming monitor, i will only consider 90hz+ monitor. eg. If you never watched 4k (BD), you probably happy with DVD. Samething like that for 60hz gaming.

      • Budju on 06/08/2024 - 13:50

    As mentioned extensively in other deals, the LG 32UN88 series are business productivity monitors. They are not intended for gaming as the refresh rate is only 60 Hz. The main reason you would choose to purchase this monitor is because it comes with a very good monitor arm (that has built-in cable management), and very good colour reproduction.

    A little credit of the OP would be nice

  • Pricebeat on 05/08/2024 - 17:24

    Any reason to get this, when the newer model of this has been cheaper?

    • thisusernameistaken on 05/08/2024 - 17:27
      +6

      When I researched the differences between the two models awhile ago, I concluded that the only difference is literally the colour of the back. If you are fine with white, then get the 32UN88A.

      The white looks good in my opinion

      • Pricebeat on 05/08/2024 - 17:33

        Thanks, not much difference then.

        • thisusernameistaken on 05/08/2024 - 17:35

          Pretty much. I went a bit more into detail as to why I think there are two models here

          I own two of the 32UN88A model, they're great monitors

          • bleeder on 05/08/2024 - 17:47

            @thisusernameistaken: Thanks, I always wondered why my Breville Oracle was a weird gloss black colour you could only get at JB HiFi

            @thisusernameistaken: I got the 32UN88A from OW for $498.
            Do you think they will price match /beat even though the model numbers are different?

            I'm guessing Amazon will join in soon.

            • thisusernameistaken on 07/08/2024 - 13:20

              @lordra: It would be the exception, not the rule if they price matched a similar product but with different model numbers / SKU

  • chongecse on 05/08/2024 - 17:25

    The product model is 32BN88U-B. What's the difference between the 32UN88 series?

  • bleeder on 05/08/2024 - 17:48

    Been considering the Dell 32 for a long time, I barely game and if I do my hardware can probably only handle 60Hz most the time anyway. Is this LG a no brainer then?

    • 367 on 05/08/2024 - 19:42

      LG Ultrafine screens are better than Dell IMO

    • chongecse on 05/08/2024 - 20:38

      It depends on which Dell 32-inch are you looking at. This LG uses BOE panels. The Dell U3223QE with IPS Black is a better panel. I don't know about panel models on the P and S series. Probably neck to neck with this one.

      • aec on 05/08/2024 - 22:04
        +1

        If you don’t know about the panel models on the P and S series, you shouldn’t make the neck to neck comment.

        • chongecse on 05/08/2024 - 23:21

          S3221QS is VA panel. P3223QE is not officially available in Australia but you can tell from the retail price it will not be an LG panel. So probably BOE panel as well.

      • entropysbane on 06/08/2024 - 10:00

        I am thinking of going the Dell myself for WFH purposes, and already have the U2723QE which has been taken over by daughter for uni. As well as the Ultrasharp colour calibrated IPS panel, the dell has a superior range of ports, much higher Usbc charging rate and kvm management when using it for more than one PC.

        But it’s twice the price of this.

        • bleeder on 06/08/2024 - 15:02

          I'm talking about the gaming model that you get cheap refurbs of, the G3223Q. Price is on par with this, your trading out 144Hz for USB-C and the arm, I am guessing the colour accuracy a bit better on this LG too.

          For me I think I am kidding myself if I think 144Hz makes much of a difference, I have a 144Hz 27" currently and if I change between 60 and 144 I can tell the difference if I pay attention, but I bet I would just get used to whatever I used. It's not like I'm a competitive gamer. I actually doing game much at all.

          The arm is a big deal for me as I'd probably buy an arm for the Dell eventually anyway, so saving a chunk of money there.

          Colour accuracy is kind of important as I am an amateur photographer, not a deal-breaker though.

        • Noslee on 06/08/2024 - 15:15

          dual LG probably a wiser move than 1 Dell :)

  • goodwillN1 on 05/08/2024 - 18:25

    I actually find 120Hz on my current monitor a great improvement for productivity. I am normally not a stickler for super smooth movement, I play games at 30FPS…

    • SS625 on 05/08/2024 - 18:28

      Which monitor did you get

    • bleeder on 06/08/2024 - 15:03

      I have 144Hz at home and 60Hz at work, I can't tell the difference unless I move the mouse or windows around really fast and pay attention lol. Playing games at 30Hz gives me a headache, so I will not be buying a 30Hz panel haha

  • SS625 on 05/08/2024 - 18:28

    Is 4k on 32" good for coding at 100% scale or most people nee to put one 125-150%?

    • Phesto on 05/08/2024 - 18:36

      I need 125%, 100 is just too small for me but some people like it

    • spicygastropod on 05/08/2024 - 18:45

      Works for me at 100% scale, but YMMV. I can imagine it being too small depending on your eyes.

    • OZGE on 05/08/2024 - 21:20
      +1

      What laptop have you got? You dont need full 65W output, 60w or even 30w will just mean it charge slower (which is better for your laptop battery anyway).

      As comparison I dock my MBP 16" with same monitor and it charges quickly without problem.

      • pcchristie on 05/08/2024 - 21:41

        My Laptop is an Ideapad with a GPU. A 65W charger will discharge, and more than that (when not the provided 100W charger) will get angry but still charge slowly.

        Come to think of it maybe my current monitor isn't even 65W and is only providing 35 or so. I might be getting my wires crossed. Need to check again.

        • OZGE on 05/08/2024 - 23:52

          Yes my MBP comes with 96W charger as original accessory, but lower wattage charger still charge it fine (just slower). When you dock with the monitor, so long it charges it should be Ok, unless your GPU consume lots of power, but I think even at 35 or 60w, it still plenty.

          • pcchristie on 06/08/2024 - 11:26

            @OZGE: Just did some searching and a helpful site (USBCTable for anyone reading) says my Thinkvision 24-h supplies only 45w which is half-encouraging. I'm not confident the extra 15w will make the difference, but I'm hopeful. It's a shame the standard issue chargers (e.g. my work laptop one) are 65W, so I can't think of a way to test it conclusively with the 60W. I'm not keen to take the leap for $500 in case it's no good.

            EDIT: A quick Google and Reddit review tells me minimum for the IdeaPad Pro 9 is 65W. How annoying!

    It's a great monitor and very good for split-screen work. I switched from an LG 38" monitor, and this one is making me more productive without having to constantly move my neck from left to right. I can keep my head in the same position and it's perfect for just using my eyes to go from one corner to the other without tilting my head.

    • bleeder on 06/08/2024 - 15:08

      Thanks, that's really good to know as the whole time I've been thinking 38" is the superior form factor, I just can't afford one.

      On the 38 wouldn't you just put a main window in the centre and then less important stuff to the left and right? Then you're mainly looking at the centre.

    Fantastic monitor. I got two of these for $420 each at Harvey Norman (post-face I hate the prick). Have them hooked up for editing and light gaming and they are awesome. Colour repro is great, power over USB-C works perfectly. Can't fault them

      • MeatyOne on 06/08/2024 - 14:25

        They were on sale for I think 475 at the time on a promo through LG and then I was getting an insurance purchase that could only be used at Harvey Norman (don't ever go with Budget for insurance), so I got a laptop then asked for a further discount on the monitors. Just got lucky at the time more than anything.

        • Noslee on 06/08/2024 - 14:38

          Even @475 that’d make it the lowest price ever. Well done, and the entire OzB community has missed that from Gerry.

    this is a great wfh monitor, awesome colours have had one for a year, no major complaints.
    I did expect more from usb-c hub on the back of it. it is basically only two extra hard-to-reach USB 3 ports.
    The navigation joystick is a joke, with a punchline of the whole settings menu. you cant control anything with a single touch, but adjust sound volume.
    also note the limitations of the arm. it does not go all the way down to you desk surface, leaving about a 10cm gap. expect similar distance in depth from the back of the desk to monitor surface.

    I also have the smaller 27” version. same stuff applies. that one boasts 75Hz refresh rate, which is way nicer for docs and spreadsheets. but it also comes with the same arm, which looks heftier that on the 32”.

  • Cheap Rich Guy on 06/08/2024 - 23:17

    I hope they bump up the refresh rate on these business monitors. 144Hz also benefits general use, not just gaming.

    • bleeder on 07/08/2024 - 11:26

      I wouldn't mind 100Hz at least, after that I can't tell much difference personally. When I got new monitors at work I got 100Hz ones. Honestly I just get used to whatever I have though, if I have 60Hz I get used to it pretty quick and don't know any difference.
