Great for gaming aswell
LG has really blown me away in the past 10 years. Their 4K monitors are so good and i used to be a diehard Samsung TV fan, but LG is doing it well on both TV and Monitor fronts. Even hooking it up to a PS5 or Xbox looks phenomenal.

Great monitor, but would prefer the ultrawide
I originally had an LG ultrawide 34" QHD monitor (WN750) that I had to return due to a couple of issues (dead/stuck pixel and the right half of the screen having a different color temp than the left). At that point I was afraid to try another of the same model so decided to get a 4K resolution monitor. I settled on this UN650 when Best Buy gave me a 10% off coupon for my birthday. The monitor is great. Very uniform screen, no dead/stuck pixels and it's amazing how much better text looks with the 4K resolution. The 60 Hz refresh rate is plenty for me as I don't game on a computer. I did have to work on adjusting the color some when I first set it up to get it where I liked it. All that being said, I wish I had took a chance and got another 34" ultrawide monitor. When it comes to working on things such as Word and Excel documents you simply cannot beat the ultrawide monitors. The QHD resolution was plenty sufficient as well. To give you an idea on the difference, on the 34" ultrawide 21:9 ratio monitor a blank Excel spreadsheet showed out to column BA and down to row 56. On this 32" 4K monitor with a 16:9 ratio it shows out to column AM and down to row 59. Bottom line is if you plan to do a lot of photo/video editing along with working on Word/Excel documents then the UN650 is a terrific 4K monitor. If you work mostly with Word/Excel documents and do occasional photo/video editing then go with the ultrawide QHD monitor and don't look back.

One of the Few 31.5" 2160p IPS Monitors Out There
This is one of the few 31.5" 2160p 60 Hz IPS monitors on the market right now. There are several 144 Hz versions available, at double the price, but 60 Hz is plenty for casual gamers. Only serious twitch gamers need more - you know who you are. This monitor is aimed more at productivity work and casual use, but is quite fine for casual gaming. The main advantage to 2160p is text quality. At 140 pixel per inch, text is much sharper and clearer versus text on a 1440p monitor, but unless you have the eyes of an eagle, you'll want to use 125% or 150% scaling. Modern programs work well with scaling, but some older programs may give you trouble. The BOE panel in this monitor is an IPS panel. That means that colors are more saturated and vivid, and that those colors don't shift when viewed off-angle, such as when viewing content at the edges of the screen. VA panels technically have more contrast, but that only means that they have blacker blacks. It doesn't mean that the picture will actually look more "contrast-y". Contrast on this panel is excellent in a normally lit room. The black levels on IPS panels aren't as good as they are on VA panels, and that means that this monitor isn't well suited for viewing darker content in a dark room. Keep the lights on, and you won't notice the poorer black levels. You will, however, notice the better picture quality. The color reproduction on this monitor exceeds sRGB, which means that colors are a little more saturated. Unless you are doing professional color grading work, you'll enjoy the extra "pop" in the colors. If you need a color-perfect monitor, buy one, at double the cost. You know who you are. The first monitor I ordered had a flaw, causing a small area on the screen to have a magenta tint. When you buy a new monitor, you should always check the screen in a darkened room with a "deal pixel tester" program that fills the screen with black, then white, then red, green, and blue. Check each color for dead pixels, and also check an all-black screen for backlight bleed at the edges. I ordered a replacement monitor, and it has a nice, even black background. In the dark, there was no backlight bleed, but there was some IPS glow. With the room lights on, the IPS glow is not visible. This monitor does do Freesync from 40 Hz to 60 Hz, and yes, it does work. You just have to turn it on in the settings. Few graphics cards can game at 2160p, but the monitor scales up lower resolutions in games just fine. Do your homework on IPS versus VA versus TN panels, and decide for yourself if this monitor is for you. For the money, I'm quite satisfied with it, and I'm a perfectionist. The only compromises are the lack of 144 Hz, and the slightly oversaturated, but otherwise very accurate colors, and at this price, those are acceptable compromises.

Great monitor, but stand can be a bit wobbly
Overall this is an excellent monitor, with the only flaw being a stand that is a little wobbly. But for the price you pay, it's hard to hold that against it. I purchased this for photo editing, work, and general use. I'm not a gamer, so I can't speak to that aspect. For photos I find it does what I need. Colors are represented well, the display contrast is good, and the brightness has enough range that I can dim it down for use in a dark room at night or brighten it up to use in a sunlit room during the day without any issues. I did calibrate the monitor with a third party tool, but out of the box it looked pretty good. At 32" and with 4K resolution I was able to ditch my second monitor and free up some desk space. The stand is ... okay. It adjusts smoothly to whatever height and tilt you want, but I've found that it can be a bit wobbly when typing. I have a fairly sturdy desk but even so it tends to wobble a bit when I get to typing fast and hard. I'm assuming this was an engineering tradeoff LG made to reach the price they did and I'm fine with that, but something to be aware of if you're going to use this on a lightweight desk. Your experience will likely vary depending on the desk you use and how you type. I almost gave this four stars, but it's hard to complain about a budget monitor providing budget performance, especially when it's just the issue with the stand. The screen really is quite good, so I'm giving it five stars.

Great for work from home
I work from home full-time these days, and wanted something a little bigger than the 27" Dell I'd been using. I bought this monitor after purchasing a Samsung that didn't quite fit my needs. The monitor is bright, colorful, and vivid. It's fantastic for day-to-day work stuff. I use all three inputs: DisplayPort for my work computer, HDMI 1 for my home computer, and HDMI 2 for a 4K Blu-ray player. I don't love the joystick control, but I'm getting used to it. The AC cable is very short, so you'll want to have an extension cord handy unless there's an outlet right behind the monitor. All in all, an excellent 32" 4K screen for the money. It's significantly improved my work from home experience!

Great So Far!
I purchased this monitor as a second display to work in tandem with my 34" LG Ultra-Wide. I needed more screen real estate when working on video and motion graphic content, and this does just that! Colors seem to be accurate and the HDR output is quite impressive. My setup isn't the "cleanest" (looks a little wonky) with both a curved and flat panel, but I will say adding this has without a doubt improved my workflow. At 4K resolution I could see this being a fine single display as well. The only slight negatives are that the power cord and display port cables are quite short. And I wish it was curved. Being such a large display, it really looks best when sitting about a foot further back than my desk sits. It isn't this way with my 34" curved monitor below it. But overall, at this price point, I honestly don't think you can go wrong here.

Great with iMac, dual monitor.
This monitor works great with a new 21.5 inch iMac, connected with a USB-C/thunderbolt to display port cable. Many reviews state that it's not bright enough. I am running it at 50% to match the brightness of the iMac, anything more is really too much. My wife is doing interior design and autocad type classes, various programs. This monitor works great for all of it. Images and 3D renders are nice and crisp. Scans even look just like the genuine article. When the sound comes through, the speakers sound pretty good, rich. I like the joystick control. It's easier than buttons and menus and it's hidden. (Last photo.) I reccomend this monitor for a dual monitor setup with an iMac for uses like stated above. I'm sure its great for spreadsheets too. I don't know anything about gaming, other reviews speak to that.

Great value for a 4K Free Sync 32 inch IPS monitor
This review is for a retail purchased LG - 32" Model 32UN650-W UltraFine IPS UHD 4K Monitor with FreeSync First of all I am a retired Wedding Photographer and I have critical experience with good quality monitors. I bought this monitor for my recent foray in to Flight Simulators. I have been using a 27 inch IPS 4K monitor for my photography work, which has 168 pixels per inch. Impeccable detail and sharpness. So on advice and reviews for gaming monitors, I bought a $400.00 32 inch Curved VA panel QHD (2560 x 1440P) 165 hz Free Sync monitor for my flight sim rig. First thing I notice is that it isn't sharp. Contrast and color start to degrade towards the edge. Got rid of it. So next I buy a $1700.00 38 inch Curved 3860 x 1600 IPS 144hz G-Sync gaming monitor from Best Buy. That much money, it has to be great, Right? Not so. Being an IPS panel, it is the same edge to edge but it still is underwhelming. Cockpit detail isn't sharp, colors are dull. I hate to return anything, but I can't justify $1700.00 for a monitor that is going to make me miserable every time I turn it on, so I returned it to Best Buy and they were most gracious. Here is the problem with monitors. Pixels per inch matter. The experts tell us we don't need anymore than 110 pixels per inch. It isn't so. You may get better frame rates on a lower resolution monitor, but at 110 pixels per inch, you will never get anything that actually can be considered great quality. So I reassessed my situation, which is Single player Flight sims. 60 Frames Per Second is all you need in a non competitive flight sim and it takes a really good system to average 60 FPS in 4K with a flight sim set at high quality settings anyway. After a lot of research I found this LG - 32" Model 32UN650-W UltraFine IPS UHD 4K Monitor with FreeSync. Yes it is only a 60hz panel. Free sync on this monitor works really well with my RTX 2080Ti. I just set the maximum frame rate in Nvidia Control Panel to 59 FPS as I do have the ability to exceed 60 FPS a lot of the time and that would cause stuttering. When my frame rates drop into the 50s G-Sync in the Nvidia driver takes over and it is smooth as butter even if I drop into the 40s. Now for the best part. Beautiful color, sharp detail. All my cockpit gauges are sharp. The 135 pixels per inch that this monitor delivers may not seem like a lot over the 2560 x 1440 110 pixels per inch on a 32 inch monitor, but it is a big time difference. The monitor has a good stand. adjustable for height and tilt forward to back. Nice joystick control for the OSD. Thin bezel. It is a flat-non curved monitor. After trying two curved monitors, I really can't say I see any real advantage. They look nice, but I think it is more gimmick than advantageous. The only con I have is the stand. The lowest that the bottom of the panel will go is about 5 inches above the surface it sits on, but it can be VESA mounted on a monitor stand. I like to be looking down on my monitor, but on the other hand it gives you room to put a sound bar under the monitor although it actually has pretty decent speakers. Also if you are a flight sim person and use your keyboard sparingly, your keyboard can sit on top of the monitor legs under the monitor leaving you lots of room for your HOTAS and Throttle. Another plus is that this is a good all around monitor. It has good color fidelity out of the box. I calibrated mine, but I gained little from the factory calibration. Lots of viewing mode settings. So if you are looking for a good 4K, Free Sync capable IPS 32 inch 60hz monitor, I don't think you can find anything better for it's $500.00 price.
