 Hi, this is Anton from Hardware Sugar and today we're going to be reviewing the LG32MP58HQ-P. But that's a mouthful, so we're just going to call it the LG32. And to be honest, I really, really like this monitor. Of course, I would say that because Hardware Sugar is selling the thing, but these reviews are all candid. They are all very honest appraisals of the hardware. And I really like this thing. We'll go first through the exterior. The monitor stand is a half moon crescent, so it's very elegant. It can fit in anywhere, whether at your home or at your office. And it does its job well, but it blends into the background rather than drawing attention to itself. For example, the Acer Predator line, those monitors are all lines, they're all angular. They're very aggressive, very masculine looking on purpose, that's their design. As with any other modern monitor, the bezels are quite thin, so you can expect that it's a nice touch for this particular monitor. There's the, again, very minimalistic LG logo here. And what you can actually find at the bottom, at the base of this monitor is just one physical button. I actually like having physical buttons so you can interact with the menus of the monitor. Monitors such as Samsung, there are no physical buttons and it's really hard to determine like where, how do I get to the source button? Or how do I get to the menu button? How do I correct the gamma and things like that? With the physical button, it's more intuitive. On the other hand, you have other manufacturers like Asus or ViewSonic where there are a whole different ton of buttons and that's also confusing. So LG, Stroconize Compromise, there's a middle, central notch button here and you can access all of the menus there. For the interior, the specs are really quite pedestrian. You have a 60Hz refresh rate, you have 920x1080p, you have a full HD IPS screen. Really, those are all just numbers. I mean, they're very run-of-the-mill average numbers and you know, gear heads or gadget, aficionados, they're like throwing out numbers all the time. 144Hz, 1ms response time. But really at the end of the day, the LG32 just has the numbers that you need to do anything. You can game on this thing, you can work on this thing, you can watch videos on this thing and it will all be fine. Yes, it's not something you can brag about the 60Hz and the 5ms response time but really, when you're by yourself at home and you just need a monitor that does everything well you throw out all the numbers and you just look at the performance and that's where the LG32 delivers. Personally, I've gained on this thing, I've played Dota 2, I've played other MOBAs, I've used it for first-person shooters and you never, all of that works fine, all of that works brilliantly. You won't see any screen tearing, you won't see any screen artifacts, you won't see any ghosting. So you can game with this thing, no problem. In fact, we'll talk about one customer who bought this thing later specifically for gaming. The one thing you get of course with the LG32 is its massive, massive screen. This is 32 inches and it really sucks you into the game when you don't need to squint to see your icons, you don't need to wonder where the heck did that shot come from because you can see everything so clearly on this 32 inches. One local review site, their opinion is that the best monitor size for gaming is 24 inches. But to be quite honest with you, I don't agree with that and the best monitor size for gaming is the largest that you can get. Once you go large, you don't go back, you can't go back. Aside from gaming, we've also sold this to professionals. We've sold this monitor to a bunch of lawyers in one of the largest law firms in the country and they were so happy with it because what it brings to them, how it makes them more professional or more productive rather, is that they can have multiple documents on the screen. If you know any lawyer in your life, you know that the way they work is they sit down for eight hours and it's all contract drafting, it's all pleading drafting, it's all researching what does this term mean. So they have multiple windows all around here on one monitor and it's really difficult to get their work done. If you're on a small screen and you're cramped, you need to alt-tab between windows and that's no good. You need to have one window here for the old contract and one window here for the new contract and one window here for Lex Libris. And so you can interact with all of those windows on just one screen. That's what makes the LG32 so productive for professionals. If you're an accountant, if you're a lawyer, or if you're an architect, you can have all of these different windows open and they're usable-sized windows. So they're not these itty-bitty stamp-sized windows that you get and oh my god, they're useless because you can't see anything in them. And so the lawyers of that firm are quite happy with the LG32. Aside from gamers and lawyers, we have a friend who works at one of the largest ad agencies in the country and we loaned him a test model. So when he brought it into the office, everyone cheered because it is a conversation starter, the size and the way it looks and it's very sleek. He was quite happy with it to be honest and people went to his cubicle. The problem there though with that office and again, this is being honest with you, it was an open office type setup and he only has a cubicle to himself. There's no office in close space to himself and he finally had to return the LG32 because he couldn't get away with kalakohan. He would try to open Facebook and you can't hide Facebook because it's 32 inches. Even if you make it like a small-sized window here, your boss who's like two cubicles down can see you or if you're vibrating somebody that you shouldn't be vibrating, you can also see that or if you have WhatsApp or whatever. All of the not-safe for work things that you're doing can really be seen at work because the LG32 is so massive and so visible in an open office environment. So to be honest with you, that didn't work out for our friend. He liked the monitor a lot but he had to return it because I guess he was doing a lot of kalakohan at work. It really works for everybody. You can use it for gaming, you can use it for work, you can use it for video editing, you can use it to watch videos and things like that. So I guess maybe the question on your mind is your soul, do you want to buy it? Bad news for you, you can't. I'm reviewing this and we used to sell the LG32 at hardware sugar but we're sold out. I'll share a story with you on the guy who bought all of our stock of this thing. He owns a PC shop, he owns a land gaming cafe shop outside of the, in the province, I think in Cavite or something. And so he was really looking for something to make his cafe distinctive. He wanted the gamers at the cafe to enjoy. He just didn't want this kind of run-of-the-mill piso, piso net style that, you know, with very small monitors. So really came all the way out here to Manila. He found us and he's like, 32 inch monitor, great price, I want it. So he bought all of our stock and he likes it so much. The feedback from his customers was so good that he wants more. So we told him that yes, we have more incoming but you'll have to wait and he's been waiting to be honest for three months and he occasionally follows up na, you know, have the monitors arrived and things like that. And every time, you know, because it's a slow process to get this from abroad. And every time we have to say, no, no, they're not available yet but they're coming, don't worry. And perhaps if you also want the LG32, hopefully once you watch this video we'll have this in stock so you can comment in the comment section or you can message us directly on Facebook or things like that or you can look at our website to see if it's available. To be really frank with you, I feel that the LG32 is the kind of thing that we really put up hardware sugar quality product at a recent affordable price and something that you can't find or it's hard to find here here for us in the Philippines. And again, since we're doing straight talk, we can offer the LG32 at such a reasonable price for its screen size and for its specs because all of our units are slightly secondhand. And what I mean by that, the screen works 100% beautifully, no dead pixels, nothing like that. What I mean by slightly used is that they were displayed in a shop and then they were sent back or a customer used it for a couple of days. We didn't like it for whatever reason. We got sent back and so we really told our supplier that you get these units that are slightly used so that we can sell them at a lower price so it's a better price point for us here in the Philippines. And supposedly there's cosmetic damage here on the stand and things like that but again, to be honest with you, it's really difficult. I can't find any of the damage here on the monitor stand. Supposedly there's damage and I haven't been able to find any. But you're happy to come in when we do have this in stock. I'd be super happy if you come into the shop if you want to check out these monitors for yourself before you buy them. And we're so sure of these LG32s. We're so sure of the quality that they come with our standard no BS one-year warranty. Here at Hardware Sugar, we're super proud that we don't hassle you when you need to claim warranty. So one-year warranty, if it breaks, within that period we're gonna refund, replace, or repair the item. No problem. Just come into the shop. And we also offer that same one-year no BS warranty for the LG32. And as I mentioned, we've sold a lot of these monitors to lawyers. So we wouldn't sell bad shit to those guys because we're scared of lawyers. Sa takot lang namin if we sold defective products to lawyers and you know how lawyers get, they can get very angsty about hey, why do you sell us this thing? It's broken or there's a scratch or something like that. So we stand by these things 100%. That's why we can offer them at such a great price point. I use this particular LG32 monitor at my home. That's how much I love it that I not only recommend it to shop customers but I use it as well personally at my own place. So thanks so much for watching. This is our inaugural hardware review. Hopefully, we'll have many more to come of the different jewel-worthy products that come through hardware sugar. Because that's really what we're trying to focus on. Jewel-worthy inventory. You're gonna hear that over and over again from us. Jewel-worthy inventory at a good price. We're trying to eliminate all of the pain points that you associate with buying hardware here in the Philippines. Customer service that doesn't work. You go to a shop and they don't mind you. They don't care that you're there and you're trying to buy something. Our thing is if you're gonna plop down thousands of pesos of hardware, you should have fun. You should enjoy yourself. And that's our goal with hardware sugar. And I promise you if you get this LG32, it's a real stunner. It'll work great on anything that you use it for. So thanks again for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
