Monitor LCD 32" comparison

Post by juji82 »

I am looking to buy a monitor for my ps4-wiiu and for my OSSC. I was looking at these :

LG 32MP58HQ-P
Iiyama X3291HS-B1
JapanNext JN-IPS3200FHD

What do you guys think? Anybody has got one of these? They cost more or less the same.

Dunno, nobody will review 1080p monitors today, and certainly not 32" ones.
There's some 4K 32inchers reviewed here in case...more expensive of course, and the upscaling might be even more awful.

PS: I say 'nobody' but check http://playwares.com/dpreview, it's a Korean website.

The LG 32MP58HQ seems fine though not very fast (some rather slow pixel transitions according to the playwares review, although not all overdrive settings have been measured) but the lag is low-enough.
I think this makes a more-than-decent replacement for a 32" TV (since most 32" TVs really suck anyway)
One problem though is that if you're thinking about tate-ing it: you will need a rather strong VESA 200x100 compatible rotating stand or arm (strong because the mounting is off-center)

The Iiyama X3291HS seems nice as well, apparently also semi-glossy, possibly faster, but I coudn't find any readable reviews (or missed them) so who knows about the lag...
Advertised contrast is lower than the LG, though it's hard to tell after real(life tests.
VESA mounting seems to be 100x100 centered.

No clue about the JapanNext, never heard about that brand before.

As a general rule though, 32" FullHD displays are not very comfortable for playing from a close distance, keep that in mind for your setup.

I am not that much into this. I will play around 2 mt far from the Monitor/tv.
Since I am not going to tate it, no need for a desk arm.
Well, I guess I am going to try it out anyway since it is very cheap (23000 yen).
