switch from gaming speed to image quality with just one click

If we want to take advantage of the new graphics card that we bought taking advantage of the price drops, we need a matching monitor. The vast majority of desktop monitors won’t work for us, as they generally don’t have refresh rates above 60Hz; and therefore it doesn’t matter if our graphics are capable of exceeding 60 frames per second in our games.

Therefore, one of the practically obligatory investments that we must make is a good gaming monitor; However, if, in addition to gaming, we use the computer to work, study or watch movies, we will soon encounter a big problem: There is no perfect monitor for our needs

. We must always choose between a monitor with a high refresh rate to enjoy our graphics, or with a high resolution to enjoy the best image quality; Until now, there was no way to get both.

LG presented the first monitor with the Dual Hz technology, which, as its name suggests, allows us to switch directly between two refresh rates, just by pressing a button; and with this change in frequency, there is also a change in resolution. This way we will always have the best image quality and frequency depending on what we are doing on the computer.

The LG Ultragear 32GS95UE has two modes. The most notable is that it offers 4K resolution (38040 x 2160 pixels) with a refresh rate of 240 Hz; With this resolution, ideal for the 32-inch size of the panel, we will be able to enjoy high definition content

The second mode, on the other hand, lowers the resolution to 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels), but increases the refresh rate to 480 Hz; this is ideal for video games, especially those that are very fast and competitive like online “shooters” in style Monitoring, Apex Legends o Counter Strike. These are games in which sacrificing resolution is better to maintain a high frame rate per second and be able to react instantly to what is happening on the screen.

Very few monitors reach 480Hz, and the fact that you can choose a lower frequency in exchange for 4K resolution sets this monitor apart from the rest. To this it must be added that the panel uses OLED technology

, with all the benefits that entails, like a “perfect” contrast of 1,500,000:1 and a ridiculous gray-to-gray response time of 0.03 ms. LG also promises good picture quality, covering 98.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and receiving DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification from VESA. In terms of connectivity, it has two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4, so we can also connect the latest video game consoles.

LG also showed off curved and larger monitors

The LG Ultragear 32GS95UE is part of the new range of OLED monitors that LG will present at the next CES, with sizes ranging from 27 inches to 44.5 inchescurved and flat and with very similar technical characteristics except for the resolution.
