Rank #1 in Best 32 Inch Gaming Monitor 2026: 10 Ranked, and Four Spec Sheets That Argue With Themselves
LG UltraGear 32G810SA-W 32" 4K 144Hz Smart Gaming Monitor
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The LG UltraGear 32G810SA-W is the top pick in this guide. It is a 31.5-inch 4K UHD monitor running up to 144 Hz with VRR over HDMI 2.1, and it is the only monitor in this list whose Amazon listing also describes a full smart TV platform: webOS 24 with Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, cloud gaming through NVIDIA GeForce Now and Amazon Luna, AirPlay 2 and Screen Share, and a remote control. It is priced at £389.17 with 4.4 out of 5 from 89 ratings.
The numbers in this listing agree with each other more often than the ones further down the guide. The 144 Hz figure appears in the product name, in the first bullet and in the specification table; the 400 cd/m2 brightness is the figure DisplayHDR 400 is built around; the bullet's "1MS IPS display" and the table's "LCD" describe the same panel type, and 1000:1 contrast is the figure an IPS panel of this kind lists. Where the listing is loose is the size: the name says 32 inches and the specification table says 31.5 inches, and the item dimensions of 24.9 x 71.5 x 62.4 cm at 10.5 kg describe the whole thing on its stand, not the panel alone. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this monitor; we have not tested it.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I don't think you can buy anything better in a similar price range. It works with my MacBook Pro M4 Pro via USB-C, which is really important to me. I have an OLED TV, so I'm already used to LG's webOS, you could say you're basically getting a built-in TV box included in the price. I highly recommend it, because 32 inches, 144Hz in 4K, plus a remote control and LG's own smart TV environment are all big advantages.”
Verified purchase“Great monitor using it both for PC and PS5”
