Really like LG's stuff, but the half moon stands are not my fav. Wish they would move on.
I just love how some here say, "As long as I don't like this monitor for what it offers and the price almost nobody else will and it will be out of circulation soon". Gotta love the narrow thinking here. The joke's on those of you with this limited thinking because the audience this monitor is targeting will buy it in a heartbeat. It's a professional monitor, not a screen for writing rants on MR.
LG UF panels suffer from quite severe ghosting, be warned.
Very good if you work with static graphics, not so much if you work with moving assets (like I do).
Anyway the pricing is a bit our ot this world because for whatever reason the same technologies featured in TVs end up costing a lot more on computer displays; it was the same with 4K panels, then HDR now OLED.
I guess we'll have to wait 2 years or so to have decently priced OLED monitors.
For example I recently bought an Asus ProArt PA279CV (4K HDR400) for 500$ abd it feels like it was the first decent 4K monitor within that price.

How are you going to use a 77 inch TV as a monitor lol
people forget this product is 32 inches for a reason
Does the 32UN880 offer hardware calibration, giving you access to the internal LUT (that professionals demand)?
Rant: another 32" 4K display!! Why is nobody making decent 218 ppi displays? The current choices are the UltraFine 5k (stupid expensive) and the Pro Display XDR (…).
The macOS UI looks wrong on all of these 32" 4K displays. Retina is not just a sharpness thing it’s about the size of the interface, too.

At that price point why would you buy this rather than the Pro Display XDR?
This guys are crazy...
I mean... I'm not even going to use the 48CX argument, because that one is lower density per inch, but...
Surely you are able to buy a cheaper 8K OLED TV, from LG... Which would amount to basically "4" 4K monitors... a 65'' TV would be basically 4 32.5'' monitors. There, there's your 32'' 4K monitor.
You can probably use some software to blacken out the top half of the TV, and basically use the bottom part as 2 continuous 4K monitors... Would be great for an ultrawide experience on a table, since the top portion would be hard to use and probably cause neck strain.
Then, you can also kick back and use the TV for movies if you were so inclined to.
4000 for a 32'' 4K monitor... hell no.

After my experience with a pair of the LG's Ultrafine 5K 27" (shielding issues, lines on screen, going off by themselves, lousy support) I won't touch the LG brand. Not their TVs, not their appliances and surely not their monitors. I paid more and got the Apple Pro Display XDR 32-inch Retina 6K. Beautiful, and not a single issue....
Yes it do. I have some picture etc on my blog from it.
LG Calibration Studio ( 32UN880 / 32UN880-B )
Wow! The LG Calibration Studio is exactly what you have been looking for it’s great! And the results is very good. First of it loads the calibration into your display and also changes the OSD…

here is the report:
this is not the LUT it’s the matrix I have not done LUT yet.
I’ll do that later and I’m sure it’s perfect after.
The cheapest 8K LG OLED TV is 77" and $20,000. And the PPI would still be lower.
Neither the math nor the practicality works in favor of a TV. Most people who make such TV comparisons haven't thought past the first step.
OLED and creative professionals don't mix.
Color uniformity and banding is horrible and there's nothing you can do to fix it. You also can't keep it color calibrated for any meaningful length of time. Not to mention burn in...
Sure they're nice for media consumption and entertainment but I wish manufacturers would stop acting like OLED is appropriate for professional work that requires color accuracy.

LG and Samsung bet the farm a decade ago on OLED, so they'll push OLED no matter what.
Apple's push towards mini LED tells you they're aiming for best overall picture quality regardless of cost.
LOL at all the people moaning about the specs. This is basically cutting edge for OLED monitors. Better really does not exist yet.
