Besides, the monitor has a nice aesthetic look, and you’ll be able to find the LG logo on the rear of the motor, with a nice red circular design that you can also find on the back of the display.

The LG 32GN650 B has a nice V-shaped base stand, which serves as the monitor, a stable foundation to sit on. The stand is well ergonomically designed; the monitor can pivot, tilt, adjust in height; however it cannot swivel. When you move the monitor to its highest heights, you may experience wobbliness; however, not to a significant level.

If you decide not to go with the default stand, you could always opt-in for a 100x100mm VESA mount.

Also, you can find the cable management feature on the back of the panel, which elegantly organizes your cables.

In addition, you can easily find the connectivity on the back of the panel, which consists of one DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0, and one audio jack.

Unfortunately, the LG 32GN650 B doesn’t have built-in speakers; however, it’s always recommended that you go with a dedicated sound-system or a pair of excellent headphones.

And you can achieve 165Hz if you connect through the DisplayPort, and you will hit a limited 144Hz when connecting through HDMI.

The input lag is remarkably though and will give you great performances; the input lag sits around 4ms.

Being a VA panel, the monitor will provide you excellent contrasts, and you can experience the deep blacks during gaming and multimedia sessions.

The brightness levels are also consistent throughout gaming and viewing other multimedia, but it doesn’t fully hit 350 cd/m² levels.

In addition, the HDR 10 will provide you outstanding brightness, along with decent HDR color gamut coverage. Color gamuts are decent at their best due to their limited spectrum of colors.

The LG 32GN650 B monitor supports FreeSync and is also G-Sync certified with a VRR range of 20 to 165Hz. Additionally, FreeSync performs well along with G-Sync; you’ll experience fluidity in graphics and smoother images when viewing fast-paced action scenes as well.
