Do you want a monitor and a TV in one? This 4K LG with webOS is now discounted, it's great for gaming too.

Gaming 4K monitors with high refresh rates and smart features usually start significantly higher. But you can now buy the LG UltraGear 32G810SA-W for 10,990 CZK, which is the lowest price since its launch. It’s an unusual combination of a gaming monitor and a smart TV in one – with built-in webOS, you can stream Netflix, Disney+, or Apple TV without a connected computer.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you are looking for a 4K gaming monitor with a high refresh rate and also want the option to stream without a PC.
⚠️ Consider if you mind slower software or need high-quality integrated speakers.
💡 For 10,990 CZK you get a combination of a 4K/144Hz IPS panel, webOS, and USB-C with Power Delivery – this usually costs significantly more.

Why this monitor is interesting

The LG UltraGear 32G810SA-W is one of the few gaming monitors that combines powerful gaming parameters with a full-fledged operating system. You get a 31.5″ IPS panel with 4K resolution, a refresh rate of 144 Hz, and a response time of 1 ms (GtG). This is the foundation for smooth gaming even on high-end graphics cards or next-gen consoles.

The main difference from the competition is the built-in webOS 24 with LG AI. In practice, this means the monitor also functions as a standalone streaming device – you can watch Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, or Apple TV without needing to turn on a computer. For some, it’s superfluous; for others, a significant advantage.

Picture: what the IPS panel with HDR offers

The monitor uses a 10-bit IPS panel with 95% DCI-P3 color space coverage and DisplayHDR 400 certification. The maximum brightness is 400 cd/m², which is a solid value for general use, but not ideal for HDR in a dark room. The native contrast of 1000:1 is typical for IPS technology – black will not be as deep as with VA or OLED panels.

On the other hand, IPS offers excellent viewing angles and accurate color reproduction. The monitor supports both AMD FreeSync Premium and is officially compatible with NVIDIA G-SYNC, so synchronization with the graphics card works without issues. The matte display surface helps against reflections.

Practical aspects: ports, ergonomics, smart features

Connectivity is a strong point. The monitor offers HDMI 2.1 (for consoles with 4K/120Hz), DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C with 65 W Power Delivery. The latter port is great for laptops – you can transfer video and power the device with a single cable. An RJ-45 (LAN) port is also available for stable smart feature connectivity and standard USB ports.

The stand allows for height adjustment, tilt, swivel, and pivot (90° rotation). The monitor can also be wall-mounted thanks to VESA 100×100. The weight is 6.5 kg, which is a reasonable value for a 32″ monitor. All necessary cables (HDMI, DP, USB-C) are included in the package, although they are shorter – users mention a length of around 1 meter.

Regarding smart features, webOS 24 offers access to major streaming services, free LG channels, and even cloud gaming. Control is via the included remote control (a Magic Remote can also be purchased for more convenient navigation).

What users say

On Alza, the monitor has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 14 customers, with 79% of them recommending the product. The return rate is very low (0.33%). Users most often praise the picture quality, color reproduction, USB-C connectivity with power delivery, and flexible stand adjustment. Some appreciate the option to use the monitor as a “small TV” for streaming.

Critical voices focus primarily on the webOS software. Several reviewers describe the controls as slow and illogical – each click in the menu loads, and navigation is not intuitive. A common problem is also waking from sleep – the monitor sometimes does not wake up automatically when the computer is turned on (this can be resolved in settings via DPM/Standby Mode, but it requires some searching). Another complaint is directed at the integrated speakers, which users say have very poor sound quality – if you plan to watch movies, expect to use external speakers or headphones.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you are looking for a purely gaming monitor without smart features, webOS might seem like an unnecessary complication. In a similar price category, you can find alternatives without an operating system that might be simpler to control. Similarly, if you expect a top-tier HDR experience – with a brightness of 400 cd/m² and a contrast of 1000:1, it won’t be like on OLED or Mini LED. And if integrated sound quality matters to you, you will be disappointed.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

The LG UltraGear 32G810SA-W is an interesting choice for those who want a gaming 4K monitor and also appreciate the option to stream without a PC. For the current price of 10,990 CZK, you get a combination of a 144Hz IPS panel, USB-C with power delivery, and full-fledged webOS – this is a package that cost almost 18,000 CZK a year ago. If you don’t mind occasional struggles with the software and don’t need integrated sound, it’s one of the most interesting 4K monitors in this price category.

Would you use smart features in a monitor, or are they superfluous for you?
