Verdict for MSFS
The LG UltraGear 32GS60QC suits simmers who want a big, immersive 32-inch screen on one desk, with a 1000R curve that wraps the cockpit view around you. Text on small instrument labels looks a little soft up close, and you'll want at least 12 GB of graphics memory to drive it.

Pros & Cons for MSFS
Strengths
- The VA panel holds deep blacks, so a night approach into a lit-up city shows runway and taxiway lights against real darkness instead of a grey wash, and the 2560 × 1440 resolution keeps the primary flight display readable from a normal seating distance.
- You get a 1000R curve and 180 Hz with variable refresh, so swinging the external view around the airframe on a low pass stays smooth and free of tearing.
- At 3.7 million pixels it asks far less of your graphics card than a 4K panel, so a 12 GB card like the RTX 5070 or faster can sit at higher scenery settings on a busy arrival into a hand-crafted airport.
Trade-offs
- Sharpness is only fair at 93 pixels per inch, so FMC scratchpad entries and small switch labels in a study-level airliner look a touch soft unless you sit close to the glass.
- The next step up in price buys a 32-inch 4K panel that makes chart text and waypoint names crisp, or a 21:9 ultrawide that MSFS 2024 renders natively for a wider view out of the side windows — this 16:9 shape gives you neither.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good Monitor for MSFS?
Yes, for simmers who want size and immersion without pushing their graphics card hard, and it scores 59.8/100 for MSFS. It shines on night flights, where the VA panel's deep blacks make lit cities and approach lighting stand out, and the curve pulls the cockpit around you. It shows its limits on fine detail, where small instrument labels and chart text are softer than a sharper screen would render them.
Is it worth the price for MSFS?
For the money you are buying screen size, a deep curve and a fast 180 Hz panel rather than pixel density. If crisp FMC and chart text matters more to you than a big wrap-around view, put the same money toward a smaller 1440p screen or save for a 4K one instead.
What graphics card does it need for MSFS?
For MSFS at its native 2560 × 1440, plan on a card with at least 12 GB of graphics memory, with the RTX 5070 being the slowest card on our ranking that clears that bar. With anything weaker, drop render scaling below 100 or turn on DLSS or FSR in quality mode before you start cutting scenery detail.
Is the LG UltraGear 32GS60QC-B 32-Inch QHD Curved Gaming Monitor, 180Hz compatible with MSFS?
MSFS 2024 handles this standard 16:9 shape without any setup, and it is also the shape consoles output, so there are no black bars. Set Windows to 2560 × 1440 at 180 Hz, switch variable refresh on in both the monitor menu and your driver, and consider popping the map or an instrument panel onto a second screen since this one is 16:9 rather than ultrawide.
How should I configure this in MSFS?
Run it at its native 2560 × 1440, select 180 Hz in Windows display settings and leave variable refresh enabled so the picture stays smooth when traffic and weather get busy. If the graphics card is struggling over dense city scenery, turn on DLSS or FSR first, then lower render scaling, before touching terrain and object detail.
