LG reveals pricing and specs for their Dual-Mode UltraGear 32GS95UE-B OLED monitor

LG’s Dual-Mode 4K 240Hz 1080p/480Hz UltraGear 32GS95UE-B OLED Monitor will cost $1,399

Ahead of CES 2024, LG revealed their first “Dual-Mode” Ultragear monitor, offering users both 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz support on a single display. This monitor is their new UltraGear OLED 32GS95UE-B, and LG has listed it with an asking price of $1,399.99.

Alongside its “Dual-Mode” feature, this screen also supports “Pixel Sound”, which means that this monitor can produce sound behind its OLED screen. This is designed to give monitor users a better sound experience than traditional monitor speakers. Even so, if you are spending over $1,000 on a monitor, you should probably also invest in a good set of speakers.

With one click, users can switch between this monitor’s two resolution modes. As an OLED monitor, LG’s UltraGear 32-inch OLED 32GS95UE features Gray-to-Gray response times of 0.03ms. These are ultra-fast levels of pixel response. This gives this screen incredibly low levels of motion blur, and its 98.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut means that this screen is both fast and great to look at.

Like most modern high refresh rate gaming displays, this new screen from LG is VRR compatible. The screen is both Nvidia G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro ready. LG’s UltraGear OLED 32GS95UE also features two HDMI 2.1 inputs and a single DisplayPort 1.4 connector.

This OLED screen is VESA HDR TrueBlack 400 certified and covers 98.5% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. The only major complaint that can be levelled at this screen is its use of a matte display coating. This coating prevents the glare that glossy screens often feature, but can lessen the image quality offered by the screen.

Why the Dual-Hz feature on LG’s UltraGear OLED 32GS95UE matters

In effect, LG’s Dual-Hz technology allows the company to sell two monitors in one. What we have here is both a 4K 240Hz OLED monitor, and a 1080p 480Hz OLED monitor. For gamers, this screen gives them the best of both worlds. They have 480Hz support for ultra-fast-paced online shooters like Counter Strike 2, and 4K resolution support for more story-driven, less latency sensitive games.

If this technology catches on, high refresh rate 1080p monitors could become a thing of the past. At this time it is unknown how a 1080p input is scaled onto this 4K screen. We hope that this screen uses integer scaling in 1080p mode, as it would be a shame if the 1080p input was blurred when it is scaled to 4K.
