![]() ![]() The joystick has an integrated power LED, which can’t be seen from a normal viewing position and is off by default although can be enabled in the OSD. The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by a joystick on the underside of the bottom bezel, in the central region. Most of your field of view when using the monitor is of course occupied by the 31.5” screen itself, which uses a light matte anti-glare screen surface as explored shortly. The bottom bezel is thicker with only a sliver of panel border visible, ~24mm (0.94 inches) including both components. Including both components, the bezel is ~9.5mm (0.37 inches) at the top and sides. The panel border blends in seamlessly when the monitor is switched off. The now popular dual-stage (‘3-side frameless’) design are used here, with a slender panel border around the image and a very thin hard outer component. Black matte plastic is used extensively, with a few red elements here and there – such as at the tear of the stand feet. The monitor looks fairly understated for a gaming monitor, without obvious dashes of colour or odd geometric features. Some of the key ‘talking points’ for this monitor have been highlighted in blue below, for your reading convenience. These figures should, as usual, be taken with a dose of salt. A 5ms grey to grey response time is specified, with 1ms MPRT specified with the ‘Motion Blur Reduction’ strobe backlight feature active. True 8-bit colour is also supported, without dithering. ![]() The monitor uses a 31.5” AU Optronics AMVA (Advanced Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment) panel with support for a 144Hz refresh rate. We put this monitor through its paces in our usual suite of ‘real-world’ tests, seeing how it stacks up against its G-SYNC counterpart and other competing models. So it has a lot to offer to Nvidia and AMD GPU users as well as console gamers who have systems capable of handling the native resolution. The LG 32GK850F (32GK850F-B extended designation, owing to its black back) supports AMD FreeSync 2 rather than G-SYNC and, bringing a more generous colour gamut and support for HDR into the mix. Amongst the high refresh rate VA monitors, the LG 32GK850G has proven itself to be one of the more capable monitors, mixing strong contrast and decent colour output with good responsiveness. ![]()
