It also has functions such as "Sphere Lighting," a lighting function that changes the light according to background music and sound effects, "DAS mode" that minimizes the time lag of the video signal, and "black stabilizer" that enhances the visibility of dark scenes.

I can confirm. I used 4K 28" for 2-3 years. Now I have 1440p" 27" (practically this same LG monitor but in 1440p). I don't miss 4K at all.
However, I also have doubts about a 32" monitor. (No matter the resolution). I'm not sure I'd be comfortable playing at 32".
27" it's already big for the distance I use.
Another example is my 4K 55" TV. I still prefer to play at 1440p 27" from desk than 4k 55" from sofa.
4k has to be the proper size and distance to be appreciated. At 27" 4k is pointless since fine details are difficult to make out on such small screen size. 1440p is more practical at that size.
4k 55" at several feet away is also pointless because too far to make out the fine details, 1080p would be fine from several feet away.
32-43" is about perfect for 4k for desktop usage (not on desktop, but wall mounted just above it).

LOL Well not sure I care about it being cheap but yeah not over 3K either that's just nonsense. We can buy a 65" OLED TV for that price.
^ Add affordable to your wish list as well. The rumor that Asus' and Acers PG32UQX and X32 are $3,499.99 is asinine!

Not a single mention of backlight technology => some shitty cheap single source backlight (no full-array, mini-LED or OLED level lighting)
Only 400 nits (600 only on small window), and with no proper backlight that means horrible blooming.
And yes 4K in a 27" => too small

we already have like a million monitors like this, why the hell do they keep coming out? samsung at least went for 240hz, for whatever thats worth
one would think saturating the market would yield lower prices but they just keep going up anyway, imagine the prices for FALD on steroids(mini led)... just to have a bit less haloing here and there
