I am mesmerized viewing this monitor- sharp as a tack 4 k resolution and amazing HDR color.
2 - 5 watt speakers - produce pretty good sound quality (better than most.)
My only negative comment is that the brightness on mine falls off just a bit at the left and right edges of the screen. If it were bad, I would have sent it back - but honestly it is barely noticable during regular viewing.
I wasn't sure I would like the wide format but it is fine for regualr work and fabulous for movies.
- Very nice picture and large gamut
- Great looks: thin bezel, thing screen, nice white back and elegant stand
- Multiple options for connectivity
- Very good gaming performance
For design one drawback: the blacks loo "dirty"
For gaming one great plus: It is Gsync compatible. Not officially but the freesync setting works with a recent Nvidia card and driver. 60Hz refresh rate seems low to some but in practice good enough for a casual gamer.
This monitor continues to look great and I've tweaked it to look fantastic on the new XBox Series X. For some of the comments asked, I only use this monitor for gaming on the Xbox. I do not use this with my PC's and therefore can't answer for that. I've included some pics of the settings on the Series X and wanted to list my monitor settings for others to try out for themselves. The below monitor settings I ended up with on the XBox Series X were achieved by going through the "Calibrate TV" and "Calibrate HDR for games" under the General TV & Display option in Settings. I tested the color by playing the "COSTA RICA IN 4K 60fps HDR (ULTRA HD)" video on youtube (5 Min 14 Sec). The colors were vibrant and the detail was crisp. Games look gorgeous as well.

I do want to mention one minor thing I've noticed since my last update which may bother some but has not bothered me enough for it to be an issue. On some loading screens where it is almost entirely black except for one area (like in Apex Legends where the small red flag symbol shows up in the lower right corner) you can see the back lighting highlight a specific column on the screen. I've never noticed any back lighting sections when playing games. It has only occurred on those initial loading screens.
UPDATE - 1/30/2019:
I've continued to use this monitor and it's working great. I've added some screenshots of the Anthem Demo login screen. Anthem looks gorgeous! I'll try to grab additional photos from the open demo. In these images I've tried to highlight the 4K aspect and how images have more detail. I compared this against my wife's XBox One S on her 40 inch Samsung TV (UN40H6203AF). You can see the additional detail 4K brings in the mural (much greater detail) and on the helmets (no jagged lines). I put a red circle over the mural and helmet areas. I also think the color looks better on the 32UL950-W. As before, I've added a red box with UN40H6203AF in it and the blanks are the 32UL950-W.
ORIGINAL POST - 1/18/2019:
I recently upgraded from a Samsung SD27D590 to the LG 32UL950-W for my Xbox One X. I've used this monitor for about 10 hours tweaking different settings. I have tested using Battlefield V (4K, HDR), Destiny 2 (4K, HDR), and Overwatch (4K, No HDR). Thus far it looks really good. I noticed one odd thing in the beginning but it's only been with Battlefield V. There are times it seemed to auto-adjust to a darker tone and then it will brighten back up. This did not happen with other games nor did it happen with my old monitor (and it's a different darkening and brightening then leaving/entering a dark building). The overview deployment map does appears to have more detail. Destiny 2 looks amazing! The colors are really vibrant. With Overwatch, I thought that the purple color of my Zenyatta skin also seemed to be more vibrant even though Overwatch doesn't support HDR. Can't wait to see how Anthem and the Division 2 look!
The XBox and monitor will require some adjustments to get everything looking good. I would recommend doing a search for "best visuals from xbox one". You should find a link for checking and setting the xbox graphics settings for 4K, 10 Bit color depth, PC sRGB, etc. I would suggest also running through the Xbox TV Calibration settings. I had to reset the display properties on the monitor and run thru the calibration a couple of times before I got things where I wanted them. Additionally, Freesync is not enabled by default. You have to turn it on in the monitor settings or the Xbox will not detect Freesync is available (Settings->Picture->Game Adjust->Freesync). I selected Extended which the manual indicates has a greater range. I haven't done significant testing on Freesync as of yet.
One thing to mention about HDR vs non-HDR. When you adjust settings for the monitor it does not adjust for HDR. I found this out when playing Battlefield V. As soon as the game started, I tiny bubble appears in the upper-right corner indicating HDR content is detected. When I went to adjust settings, I noticed the monitor settings were different then what I had just spent time adjusting. I'm still tweaking the HDR settings and they do appear to save separately from non-HDR settings. I also noticed that lowering the brightness level in HDR mode to 90 stopped the odd darkening/brightening issue I mentioned earlier. I currently have the brightness around 75. I've had mixed results with some of the individual game HDR adjustments. I tried to go with the Destiny 2 settings they recommended for HDR and it looked really washed out.
I'm attaching some images showing the detected settings on the 27 inch and the 32 inch. You'll see that the LG 32UL950 does have 4K, HDR and Freesync detected on the Xbox. I also uploaded a few pics of the games I mentioned. Hopefully the attached images aren't too bad. I'm not sure how they'll be modified when uploaded. All attached images for the 27 inch monitor are marked with SD27D590 in a red box. The unmarked images are from the LG 32UL950-W.

Top reviews from other countries
I just bought two of the LG Ultrafine 32UL950-W for my MBP 13-inch 2020 with Intel processor. See picture #1 for the overview.
The monitor comes with:
-----------------------------
One Thunderbolt-3 cable
One USB-C cable
One HDMI 2.0 cable
One Display Port 1.4 cable
One Power cable with "the cube"
Connectivity:
---------------
You take one supplied Thunderbolt-3 cable and you connect it from one of your Thunderbolt-3 port on the mac to the Thunderbolt-3 port on the monitor. Choose the bottom port on the monitor since it supplies 60 watts of power. The top one supplies only 15 watts. Take the other Thunderbolt cable and daisy chain the monitors using the top port on both monitor. See picture #2 which is the print screen from LG's web site. Both monitors and you retina display can function in "Extended display". Each monitor is a "desktop" on its own. No need to install any drivers/software. It's true plug & play.
The default setup is "large text font". If you don't like it, just open System Preference > Displays > Display Settings > choose the monitor > Resolution and click "Scaled". Adjust according to your preference. I used the middle option. See picture #3.
I use my laptop for Web browsing, office work and development. The quality of the monitor is just amazing. Nothing negative to say. Monitors and retina display are align and they look great together.
Note for M1/M2 chips:
--------------------------
According to LG, this setup should work with MBP 2016 and later. If you have the M1/M2 standard chip, you can have only one external display. You need to "Pro" version to have two external displays and the "Max" for three or more external displays.
Cons:
------
The only negative side is the power cube. What a huge power supply. See picture #4. It would have been nice if LG could have fitted it inside the monitor.
Some people complaint the the stand is made of plastic. It is but looks like it's ok and sturdy enough.
The monitor can supply only 60 watts of power but that's not an issue even if your original power supply is more than 60 watts. It will just take more time to charge it but it will be able to maintain the charge of your laptop.
Overall, I do recommend this monitor especially in pair 😀 What a nice setup.

The default setup is "large text font". If you don't like it, just open System Preference > Displays > Display Settings > choose the monitor > Resolution and click "Scaled". Adjust according to your preference. I used the middle option. See picture #3.
I use my laptop for Web browsing, office work and development. The quality of the monitor is just amazing. Nothing negative to say. Monitors and retina display are align and they look great together.
Note for M1/M2 chips:
--------------------------
According to LG, this setup should work with MBP 2016 and later. If you have the M1/M2 standard chip, you can have only one external display. You need to "Pro" version to have two external displays and the "Max" for three or more external displays.
Cons:
------
The only negative side is the power cube. What a huge power supply. See picture #4. It would have been nice if LG could have fitted it inside the monitor.
Some people complaint the the stand is made of plastic. It is but looks like it's ok and sturdy enough.
The monitor can supply only 60 watts of power but that's not an issue even if your original power supply is more than 60 watts. It will just take more time to charge it but it will be able to maintain the charge of your laptop.
Overall, I do recommend this monitor especially in pair 😀 What a nice setup.
So, I had to adjust my res to the setting below the maximum to 3008 x 1980 (you can do this using "Scaling" under System Preferences > Display . . . . and/or clicking and holding down the "Option" key while selecting "Scaling" which will give you more res settings). Anyways, while the 3008 x 1980 setting was fine, my expectations had already been set. Don't get me wrong, this monitor is pretty good . . . . and after playing around with settings it got better. Plus, I am convinced that there is a break-in period for monitors - in other words, they do get better after several hours of use.
All of the above being said, I began to fiddle around with other settings, such as:
1) Systems Preferences > Accessability > Display
2) (Top left menu bar): View > Show View Options
There are some things in there you can adjust and improve matters. Fortunately, I also had been using a relatively new LG 34" Ultra-wide, Ultragear monitor which I switched back to and gave my wife the 32". She hooked it up as an external display to her 2017 Macbook Pro which has a retina display and its accompanying video card - WOW!!!! This monitor is now really hooked up and display's FAR, FAR better than it did on my Mac Mini M1.
So the moral of the story is: if you have a Macbook Pro with retina display and you intend to use this monitor as an external display - go for it! You won't be disappointed! However, less than that and this monitor is pretty good, but not great IMHO. As it relates to Windows machines, I'll leave that to the better informed, dedicated PC users. (Btw - I'm a graphic designer, photo editor and create 3D renderings - so I'm quite picky and see things the average "business" user may not!).
