    Is this one good to play Dota?

    • +2

      I'm not really a gamer, but I'd expect 4ms response time is plenty fast enough and at 4K it'll look great.

      If you want a faster FPS, apparently it can do 2560x1440 @ 75Hz.

      According to Tom's Guide :

      Maybe I just sit too close to my monitor, but the size and fidelity of the Lenovo L32p-30 really hit a sweet spot for me.

      During my hands-on testing I had the chance to use it for work, play and everything in between, so I feel pretty good recommending this monitor for watching videos, getting work done and gaming in 4K. The limited 60Hz refresh rate makes it less ideal for high-framerate action, but if you don't care about frames per second this is a beautiful screen to play games on. HDR content looks good too, thanks to the display's HDR10 support.

      I quite enjoyed watching movies and working across the expanse of the L32p-30, which you can further customize by downloading Lenovo's Artery display software, which lets you do things like customize monitor settings and set up desktop partitions.

      Playing games on this canvas is also a pleasant endeavor, and while the refresh rate does feel a bit limiting, it's hard not to enjoy my favorite games playing out across this wide expanse of pixels.

      • +2

        4ms would likely be a peak response time, at an overdrive mode that they aren't sharing true and full performance information on.

        Average response time would want to be at least 17ms. Fortunately, we have review data that suggests most of the timings should be fine at level 2 overdrive, but no higher.

        At the end of the day, this is an older 4K monitor with 8-bit colour at $400, when 4k144Hz+ is available regularly on sale at $500.

        This isn't good value, USB-C PD or not, and most people benefit from 27" 4K moreso then 32", so it makes for doubly silly premiums in the age of USB 4, HDMI 2.2, and DisplayPort 2.1b.

        • +2

          @jasswolf I've not yet seen anything like 4k144Hz @ $500 with USB4, HDMI 2.2, DP 2.1b; even for 27". Can you recommend some settings for our 3camels or OzBargain alerts (or example deals)?

          I don't understand this comment below, can you elaborate?

          most people benefit from 27" 4K moreso then 32"

          Personally I prefer a larger monitor. Would you take this further and suggest most people benefit from 24" 4K rather than 27" ? 21" ? My wife says size doesn't matter but I'm not convinced.

            https://www.ozbargain.com.au/tag/uhd-monitor

            I bring up USB 4, HDMI 2.2, and DisplayPort 2.1b as examples of the peak standards of outputs you'd see on most laptops today (i.e. there is more than one USB-C port and/or video output, and most of them would be HDMI 2.1-type levels of bandwidth or higher). If you're outputting from a phone, you'd want it running into a USB-C dock rather than a USB-C monitor.

            Would you take this further and suggest most people benefit from 24" 4K rather than 27" ? 21" ?

            I would take it all the way down to 21" 8K at a regular seating distance, and probably 27" 10K, and that's probably something we'll hit either late this decade or early next. 27" 8K is about to start ramping for manufacture, but it will be expensive.

            There will be even higher pixel density options for things like VR/AR/MR, and also medical use (i.e. you can also instinctively peer at the screen rather than continuously zoom), but they'll have different performance capabilities (lower brightness, sometimes lower refresh rates) to keep within thermal and energy budgets.

              I feel like I've accidentally intruded into someone's hobby … the deal you're citing as better deal ( 27" for $550 ) is full of comments from yourself saying that it isn't worth bothering with … ?

              I don't know what the takeaway message is supposed to be here. To me, the monitor you've linked looks really nice, albeit much smaller and 37.5% more expensive.

              • -1

                @cobberboy: That's clearly $449, and I stated it wasn't worth bothering with as a 360Hz monitor.

                I also linked the entire UHD monitor category, including a $299 recent deal for this very monitor. This 'deal' is just a standard price these days, not a sale.

                • -1

                  @jasswolf: Sorry I don't know where I got $550 from; you're correct it was clearly $449 (currently $699) for that very nice 27" monitor, 2 months ago.

                  This 'deal' is an all-time low for anyone who isn't a Prime member, or anyone (like me) who missed the other deal. The last time it was this price was over 12 months ago. Your idea of "standard price" is very different from mine.

                  If you can find any other 31.5" 4K @ 60Hz brand-name USB-C 75W PD monitor on the market today for this "standard price", $399 delivered (to Perth!), today, there may be one or two extremely patient lurkers remaining who would appreciate it if you'd provide a link.

                  Of course, if you'd rather just repeat over and over "that's not a deal" without being helpful, it's a free country and everyone needs a hobby. Carry on. I look forward to seeing the same comments in the next monitor-related thread.

                  PS Sorry for my earlier remarks regarding your mother.

                  • -1

                    @cobberboy: At that price difference, it's easy to sign up for a prime membership and secure the discount, then cancel.

                    The last time it was this price was over 12 months ago. Your idea of "standard price" is very different from mine.

                    As my posting of the category demonstrates, there are many excellent substitute products, often better performing.

                    If you can find any other 31.5" 4K @ 60Hz brand-name USB-C monitor on the market today for this "standard price", $399 delivered (to Perth!), today, there may be one or two extremely patient lurkers remaining who would appreciate it if you'd provide a link.

                    That's a niche within a delivery niche. 32" users are overrepresented on this site because you're all desperately trying to score a deal on something that is not sold in high volume.

                    USB-PD being a requirement is silly in this day and age, where you have USB-PD on affordable docks that provide 4k60Hz output via HDMI, and 65W chargers for under $30. Then of course, there's USB-C to DisplayPort/HDMI adapters. It's not a deal.

                    I've provided a lot more information than you, and you keep fixating on the monitor being USB-C, leave it alone and accept the neg for a non-deal.

                    • +1

                      @jasswolf: I hadn't noticed the neg until people started commenting on it. I honestly want you (and others) to continue go ahead and neg anything you feel like, including this. Going off-topic for a moment here: it's super important that our society becomes more appreciative of diversity in opinions. Please keep the neg in place, I consider them symbolic: without them, upvotes wouldn't have any meaning and the site would be crap. Sometimes they're even helpful.

                      I completely get it that you're not impressed by this monitor because your usage requirements differ from mine, and others. That's all cool.

                      But.

                      I do ask this of you: consider that I, and others, might have different usage requirements from yours. This monitor happens to be perfect for my requirements. Maybe our requirements are, as you say, "silly", or "niche within a delivery niche", or we're "desperately trying to score a deal on something that is not sold in high volume".

                      Genuine question: Why do our differences bother you so much? Why go out of your way to try to convince us that we shouldn't want the features that interest us, rather than trying to help us get what we actually want at a better price?

                      Personally, I enjoy:

                      • A big monitor.
                        • 32 inch is perfect.
                      • High resolution.
                        • 4K@32" is great.
                        • I have an old 5K 27" iMac, and with my aging eyes I can't spot the difference between 5K@27", 4K@32", or my 2560x1600@13" retina macbook (227ppi)
                        • 60Hz is good enough. For most of my usage, higher refresh than that won't be noticeable.
                      • USB-C + PD
                        • See below
                      • Multiple USB-A ports in a built-in USB hub in the monitor
                        • For peripherals such as: the wireless keyboard receiver for the particular keyboards I like; webcam; data/charging connections to mobile devices (for development); thumb drives; etc
                      • IPS

                      Regarding your latest write-off of USB-C + PD as "silly": I used the exact docking setup you describe for years; it was a big improvement over the alternatives at the time but still a mess of cables. The docking stations are either expensive or crap. Many are both. I use a M1 Macbook Air, I work from home and 2 other offices, so we're talking about 3 docking stations, 3 power supplies, 3 HDMI cables and 6 USB-C cables. Messy and expensive.

                      You've disparaged everything on my wishlist, which I've settled on after years and years of daily usage. I've read many of your contributions, and while you definitely know more than I do about the technology, the idea that another person can genuinely want a different feature set seems to be alien.

                      And again, another repeat of "it's not a deal" , without linking to anything that would suit us better or cheaper. The challenge addressed to the avian-eyed at the top of the post was because I'd already read so many such unhelpful comments without a single link to a current better deal. I don't get it. Why are you even here?

                        @cobberboy:

                        That's a misreading of my comments: I clearly stated I see it as an overrepresentation, and possibly alongside an underestimation of your own visual acuity.

                        There are definitely diminishing returns, different seating distances, brightness, colour gamut, contrast, visibility, viewing angle, input and output requirements, but the variations outside of monitor technology, refresh rate, resolution, size, and response time, everything else is typically marginal, usually a gimmick or underwhelming beyond USB-PD.

                        But put simply, technology improves over time, benefits ensue that improve quality of life for those who use it, and that's of net benefit to the world. Under that paradigm, $399 is not a good deal for this monitor in 2025.

        • +2

          I don't think the neg is warranted.

          Can you find a better deal for a 32 inch 4k IPS monitor? VA panels can't be compared.

          The Dell 32 inch 4k gaming monitor was around $550 at lowest but discontinued.

        • +6

          i'd imagine the target audience for this monitor is people who simply want 32" of real estate @ 4k resolution for productivity/office purposes (which is perfectly reasonable), so i'm not sure your "most people benefit from 27" more than 32"" makes sense. i also agree the neg is unwarranted, unless you have a link to something cheaper.

          • -3

            @harro112: The gap between 32" and 27" is intended as one of seating distance from the monitor, otherwise you're making a good argument for 42" 120Hz+ options (including OLED TVs), or ultrawides.

            I still generally argue in favour of 2 separate monitors, but IPS ultrawides have been getting a lot cheaper now that they face competition from 42" 4K OLED TVs.

    • +5

      I'd probably look at a 1440p 144hz~ model over this for gaming in general. 32" 1440p PPI might be a little low but will probably look great for games. Alternatively just go for a 27" 1440p like the HP's always on sale for ~250.

  • +6

    Looks like a nice monitor. You'll want a vesa mount or a desk riser, non-adjustable stand!

    Could be a great office monitor - use a desk riser instead of vesa, put a mini pc on a vesa mount instead on the back. Super clean setup.

    • Yep it can tilt from -5° to ~ 22° , but it's not height-adjustable.

      I'm planning to mount mine on my monitor arm using the 100x100 VESA mount.

      This $27 stand from amazon or this $25 stand from kogan look like good options if you want to pair it with a height-adjustable stand.

      (Edited: added amazon link to stand)

  • +3

    Full-function USB Type-C with power delivery up to 75W

    Good enough for most standard laptops.

  • +4

    I’ve got one of these as a second work monitor. It’s… fine. Probably priced about right for what you get.

  • -1

    In case anyone wants to use a monitor stand:

    • Attach the mounting bracket from the VESA compatible wall mounting kit.
      (100mm x100mm distance), the type of VESA mounting screw is M4 x 10 mm.
    • For use only with UL Listed Wall Mount Bracket with minimum weight/load: 8kg

    PDF manual: https://gzhls.at/blob/ldb/7/2/4/7/1aaabce0f01b9a1923307526c3…

    • +2

      Those instructions are for wall-mounting using Lenovo's wall bracket, not for using a stand.

      The monitor has 100mm x 100mmm VESA holes, you don't need any kit.

      The official link to the PDF user manual can be found at: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/monitor/l32p_30_user_guide_en.pdf

      • Quick question: does it include the M4 x 10 mm screws?

        • +1

          This monitor? It doesn't look like it. Monitors don't normally come with screws for 3rd-party-supplied hardware, although I have a couple of old LG ones that did for some reason. In the case of those LG monitors, the internal threads were rubbish and I had to fill the holes with loctite.

          Every separately-sold monitor arm or stand I've ever seen came supplied with M4 screws, but still it's worth checking before purchasing.

          • @cobberboy: Thanks for the info. I won’t need to buy extra screws then 🫡

  • Anyone have details of the brightness and contrast ratio?

  • +7

    Btw this was $299 during the recent prime sale. It's a fantastic monitor though - my main use case is productivity/work. I have a dual setup of these. USB hub on the back of the monitor too when connecting with USB C.

    • Two of these horizontally? How's your neck?

      • +1

        Yeah. I have monitor mounts and tilt these slightly downwards so not too bad. Probably more ergonomic to use one monitor or a curved 34 inch - though this gives more desktop space for stuff like spreadsheets and having lots of windows open.

    • +1

      Yep I'm kicking myself that I didn't see that at the time, fantastic deal.

      I keep thinking about how many eneloops and power banks I could have bought with the extra $100.

      According to 3camels (which must ignore prime-only deals?), this current $399 deal is an equal all-time low. It's been this price 3 times previously, for a few days each time, but it's otherwise usually $650.

    • Not according to CCC

  • +2

    I'm looking at two of these right now as I work (and browse ozbargain). Heaps of screen real estate and very clear. Might be a touch too big but whatever

  • i have 2 x 32" 4K LG Ergos with there own LG arms. love the monitors and LG quality. GOt them at $470 each around black Friday.. look at these lenovos being sold at officeworks at the same time cheap, and they are NO WHERE near as good.

      @Mijora1 I'm not sure why you're referring to officeworks… they don't appear to have ever sold this monitor?

      Can you please provide us some links to compare?

        It was 9 months black Friday i bought one, then another one shortly after at $459 a pop delivered.

        I think a newer model is out now https://www.amazon.com.au/LG-27UP600K-W-DisplayHDRTM-Stabili…

        sitting in front of them they are better than any lenovo POS cheap chinese junk that they make.

        there propriety arm may not be for everyone but it suits my setup very very well, and if you are prepared if necessary to drill it to your desk they can be mounted too. The range of motion these things have are fantastic.

        Highly recommended

        • Asking as a genuine question.

          What benefit is there in paying extra for a monitor that's ergonomic out of the box but requires drilling into a desk over buying a cheaper monitor and using a good $30 desk arm that doesn't require making holes in the desk?

          Is there something about the ergonomics that an arm can't provide?

        • Thanks. Glad you've found a monitor that suits you. It looks OK. Did you get it at Officeworks? The 3camels suggest it's never been lower than $498 at amazon (most recently 18 months ago). 2xUSB 3.0 ports kinda suck, and it maxes out at 60Hz even for lower resolutions, but it's got much better speakers than the Lenovo.

          @NobalaKoba I don't think the arm requires any drilling, it's clamped onto the edge.

  • +1

    I have one of these and love it for wfh office productivity purposes. Split the screen into 4 and ive got enough space for all my apps without the need for my laptop as a secondary display, so it stays shut.

    My wife has since "borrowed" my screen so ill need to buy another one soon. Hoping they will drop to 299 at some point soon. Would be good to get the one with the built in webcam.

    /aside: apparently this monitor is "frequently bought together" with a 12-pack of tissue boxes.

    This one has been on much better deals 2 weeks ago on prime day
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/914350

    Yet, it was one of the item that are not out of stock til the end.

    I managed to get this one, very great value for the price that time. But it was too big for me :(
    So i returned it and now in search for a great 27" Monitor with the same price range

  • +3

    Really this pricing isn't anything special…

  • +1

    Just got mine today.

    The panel has really good colours and uniformity connected to my MBA. And just enough ports I needed (HDMI, DP, Audio Out).

    I would suggest getting this vs the Dell S2725QC for better colours and white balance OOB (if you dont mind 27”)

    Great deal for those who got it even cheaper!

    • The Dell has much higher refresh rates: 120Hz @ 4K vs 60Hz for this Lenovo. So the Dell would likely also be better for gamers, if your GPU is capable of higher FPS than a 60Hz monitor provides and you find the difference noticeable.

      I'm typing this via my Dell 2722QC (the previous model which is only capable of 60Hz @ 4K). I love it for my purposes. I bought the Lenovo to replace another 4K USB-C Dell (P2721QS) which has started glitching.

      I haven't received my Lenovo yet; AusPost are now telling me that it's been delayed.

      • Ahh yes definitely depends on use case. This one is for half productivity and half media streaming so it's perfect.

        For gaming, I do prefer VA if I am in a budget. I have a separate 4080S machine connected to a 4yo ultrawide MSI VA and I dont think there is a need to change it for what I use it for.

        I bet you'll love this one as I couldn't stand the colours on the Dell OOB. I processed a return on the Dell the day after I got it.

  • +1

    Ok love this monitor except for one thing.

    It will not save image display settings/profile for each source, which is a bit of an irk if. For example, you want one source for colour accuracy / productivity and one for media consumption where you want it quite punchy, you will have to change it everytime.

    I settled for this setting though - I just set it to Panel Native profile and HDR on the monitor OSD, turned off HDR on windows settings connected as first source, and then turned on HDR on the Google TV as the second source.
