LG 32MP58HQ-P 32-Inch IPS Monitor with Screen Split

Comment

The monitor is great. Im tired of people making good products sound inferior because they think companies need to wait on them hand and foot. Listen, its a $200, 32" monitor, thats essentially a steal. The reflective surface is a plus to me. Its brighter and shows the color more vividly. See the pics (left LG reflective screen, right a matte 27" AOC (which was a steal too at $115)), the thing is so bright it lights up the entire room and is much better for charting/displaying small graphics. Quit being a cry baby. And please stop making yelp, trip advisor, amazon and other review platforms your place for getting back at the world. I saw a review today of a person who complained, got a new product shipped, was refunded in full, and then they still gave a one-star review. Tell me how that is comstrictive or showing of a company? This, quite literally, is why companies have stopped doing these types of things; there isnt anyway of regaining their creditablity for one bad apple.

I had been looking for a 32 inch monitor for quite some time but Ive been held back by the price point. Most of the 32 inch monitors that seemed decent quality started at $400/500 and up. When I saw this monitor show up on an Amazon search about a month ago I was very interested; however, this is a new product and there were no reviews on it so I was somewhat hesitant to purchase it. Nevertheless, I looked at reviews on other LG monitors and felt confident enough to get it. This monitor is connected to my 17inch MacBook Pro in a home office/study. It replaced two smaller Dell monitors that were positioned side-by-side. I use the monitor mostly for academic work, in other words I do a lot of reading, research, and writing, therefore, I was looking for a monitor that would give me sharp text. This LG monitor has some special settings for readers mode but I didnt find them very appealing; Nevertheless, I found a setting that I found satisfactory. Overall Im satisfied with the quality of the text displayed on the monitor. The monitor has one RGB connector and One HDMI. I was only able to get the 1080 resolution through the HDMI. The monitor is very bright and clear. I backed down the brightness to match my Mac display and to cut down on eye strain. An add-on to the monitor is a downloadable "OnScreen Control" program from LG that allows you to easily adjust the monitors settings. A feature I am especially happy with is the Screen Split function that allows you to partition the monitor in 10 different configurations. This allows documents or applications to be dropped into a certain area of the monitor and it automatically positions and sizes the document to that particular pane. At the time of this review Ive only had the monitor for three days - so far so good. I had a problem when I tried to register the product online. This monitor is so new that LG doesnt have it listed in the drop down menu in the registration process. Consequently, the only way to register the product was to send in the registration card. I submitted the problem to LG. Overall, Im very pleased with the monitor. I believe it is an exceptional monitor for the price.

I read MANY reviews on this monitor prior to purchase, and came to the conclusion that the primary difference between the 5 star and 1 or 2 star reviews was user configuration of the monitor. I confirmed that while in the process of setting up my new monitor. Initially, I ahd problems setting the resolution to the max of 1920x1080, and saw what many of the critical reviews spoke about; fuzzy text, and poor quality overall. Once I did all of the updates on my HP Z230 i7 Quad Core 3.9GHz 16GB RAM with 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD with Win10 Pro and was able to set the 1920x1080, I was astounded at the quality that a $200 monitor was delivering. (Honestly, I woke up one morning and discovered that the resolution had changed. Go figure!) This monitor is a winner, especially for a guy in his 50s who owns about a dozen reading glasses scattered around his environment. I do graphic design and video editing as a hobby (on another computer with 21:9 29 inch monitor) so am pretty sensitive to video/graphic quality on the screen. I have absolutely no complaints about this monitor. The only thing that would make it better is if I could set it to 3840x2160. I definitely recommend this monitor for purchase. 01/16/2018 UPDATE: Ive now purchased 3 of these monitors and am even more pleased with them than before.

Purchased two of these and I love them! However, I need to figure out how to color match the two monitors because the first one I purchased (this past December) has a little brighter, and crisper picture. I am sure this is something that can be adjusted through the settings, and it isnt bad enough to make me not like the monitors. I mounted both monitors to the wall above my desk, and I am super happy with my purchases. ***UPDATE - October 11th, 2017*** The second monitor that I purchased started to flash a very thin blue line across the bottom of the screen intermittently. The first monitor I purchased last December has never had this issue, however, the more recent purchase started doing this about a week or two ago. It isnt horrible, but it catches my eye every time it happens, and I worry it will get worse over time. These monitors as still mounted onto the wall and have never come off since installing them. I am hoping this issue is a simple fix and not something I am stuck having to deal with. *** UPDATE - NOVEMBER 22nd, 2018 *** I came back to look at the specs and figured Id leave another update. The previously mentioned issue regarding a thin blue line intermittently occurring has stopped ever since I purchased a new desktop. Apparently, the older PC I was originally using had a faulty video port. I purchased my current PC around January of this year, and since then I havent had one single issue with either monitor. I am super happy with these two monitors and recommend them to anyone looking for quality at a great price.

Ive been using this monitor for a few months now. Took a gamble and pre-ordered it back in August. Best decision ever. I am not a colorphile (slightly color deficient anyway), so I was not looking for top dollar color gamut. Overall though, I have been very satisfied with the colors, image quality, and brightness of this monitor. Games look great (Rocket league, Borderlands 2, Battlefield 1). It has good port options, and even a built in hub if you choose to use it! Definitely has increased my work flow with the amount of windows I can have side by side, how easy it is to read text, and using it alongside my other monitor (25 in HP) for my dual monitor setup. And for programs where having all the space benefits the user, such as FL Studio, UE4, Blender, etc..., it has definitely been a pleasure to use. If youre looking for the best bang for your buck, look no further. If you are looking for a 4K, or 1 ms response time, 120 hz monitor with g-sync, then this is obviously not it. In the pictures, I originally had it wall mounted, but I took it down, and would recommend having it on your desk for a better experience, especially if you are going to be gaming.

Great monitor for the price. I actually got mine for around $184 around Christmas time. Simply cannot beat that price for a 32" monitor. Beautiful design, vibrant colors. Love the multiple options to change my screen configuration and different screen viewing modes. I really like the Reader 2 setting as it dims the screen and creates more of a paperback look that is very easy on the eyes when you spend a lot of time in front of the screen like I do. The surface of the screen is glossy and there is a little bit of reflection, but as long as you dont have a bright light or window directly behind you, it wont be a bother. I plan to purchase a couple more down the road.

I dont usually say awesome Gota make an exception. Awesome. I am visually impaired, and need a huge super sharp monitor to have any chance of it being useful in combination with my screen magnification software (Zooomtext). I was using a 1080p HD Hanns-G 30" monitor that, from the beginning, seemed washed out a blurry. I had always chalked that up to over-sizing the monitor and lack of better resolution. So, when that monitor began to crap out, I bought a highly rated 28" 4K Samsung monitor. It was a little better, but not much, and was still in 1080p HD. I took my computer to my local PC tech with the intent of upgrading the video card. Something that would be compatible with 4K UHD. He assured me it would not make any difference, and that in his opinion the image was already very sharp. He said I was stuck with that because it was my Zoomtext software and not the resolution of the monitor, or the signal being sent by the computer. So, I figured I should return the expensive 4K UHD monitor, and look for the biggest 1080p HD monitor I could find at a reasonable price. I picked this LG 32MA68HY-P for its more glossy screen which I know is better for my bad vision. Other factors were the great reviews, the price, the multitudes of connections, and the fact that the connections are easy to see and access being flush on the back of the monitor rather than the usual practice of upside down and vertical where you cant see them or get to them without being a contortionist. I also really like the onscreen control set up which is by far the easiest,most ergonomic, and intuitive Ive ever seen. This monitor also has a setting for "weak color vision". Again, for someone with central vision blindness, my color vision stinks, and this setting does seem to help a little. Other low vision features include100 x 200 VESA mounting capability (so I can put it on a desk mount swingarm to get the screen right up to my nose), and blue reduction reader more (so far I have to found that to be useful). My one complaint so far? For some reason the visible portion of the screen stops 1/2" to 3/4" from the bezel, reducing the effective screen size from 31.5" diagonal to 29" diagonal. I sure hope this is just an adjustment issue that I cant find in the owners manual. I otherwise love this monitor, and Id be really disappointed to find out this problem is either normal or a defect requiring it to be returned. Update. The problem with the "black border" turned out to be a corrupted video card in my computer. Solid 5 stars. Best monitor ever! Again, if you are visually impaired, seriously consider this monitor. Ill update again if I do have any problems.

This is size or this price? I just could not afford more and at the same time was really nervous. I was anticipating a monitor with no real pixel difference than the average HDMI TV of the same size. (Those tend to be cheaper btw) I decided to chance it because after a few years of HDTVs I was getting tired of graphics cards and games clashing over it. So back to monitors I went with trepidation. I was really impressed with the size and when I plugged it in my thought was "hey, nice graphics, certainly better than my HDMI TV but not SUPER impressive." It was clear and pixels were good but not so good to throw a party over. All in all I was surprised at the quality, it was better and I was quite happy with it. THEN I found the button on the bottom was more than just power. It was like a tiny joystick that brought up a number of options, settings and displays features. I turned off power saving, ran picture to the sharpest (it had been on the lowest setting) and basically ran all the monitor settings up and MAN, I was blown a way. Crisp pixels like a new hundred dollar bill and just great graphics. I am beyond impressed. I still have not used all the features, I know it has split screen and other things but those dont matter to me all that much. If you want a good PC monitor though, here you go.

It is a good buy if you are conscious of what you are paying for. I had it for couple days now and mainly used to mirror my MacBook air so I have a bigger screen for videos and reading. Also, I use it as a second split screen when I write so I can have references on the screen and type my paper on my laptop. I have encountered the resolution problem as occasionally there are old PDF scan documents and it is unclear on this screen, but still readable on my Macbook, but I am aware of it so I dont need to be disappointed like others. Make sure to read those numbers before you buy:)

Recently, I started playing local multiplayer games (Tales of Berseria) with my wife on my computer. For us, it is much more convenient to play these kind of games using controllers, sitting a fair distance away from the computer just like one would do with multiplayer console games. This was when I realized that my 20-inch monitor was too small. Her eyesight is good enough not to mind, but I found myself having to concentrate a little bit too hard to recognize small features on the map, and would frequently miss items and treasures. Playing these kind of games is supposed to be a relaxing experience for casuals like us! At first, I was worried about the resolution of the 32-inch monitor. Would the pixels show up visibly when Im sitting at my desk? Turns out, surprisingly, that it isnt a problem at normal viewing distance. Another worry I had was whether or not the monitor would be too large when Im sitting at my desk. You can see the relative size of the monitor compared to the keyboard and mousepad in the picture -- its probably the perfect size for me. And finally, its very inexpensive compared to a 32-inch with higher resolution. Ive spent a fair amount of time now up close and far away, and the viewing is comfortable in both cases.
