Our Verdict
LG 32UD99-W
LG 32UL950-W
The LG 32UD99-W is slightly better than the LG 32UL950. Both offer very similar performance, but the 32UD99-W has a flicker-free backlight, which is great, and it has a slightly higher native contrast ratio. The 32UD99-W has a slightly better stand that is made of metal, and better build quality.
