Does anyone know the difference between this monitor and the LG 32GK850F-B? I'm having a hard time finding the difference as they pretty much are the same I think?

I believe the model you mentioned is G-Sync, not FreeSync like the one for this deal.

850f-b(Freesync) is the alternative to the 850g-b(G-sync). Originally thought they both had LG's sphere lighting system but only 850g-b does (talked to LG Rep).
850f-b has Freesync 2 and HDR10 (some users say it's mediocre) while 650f-b only has Freesync. I personally don't think it's worth the extra $100 + tax from Costco BF deal vs this deal + no tax (depending on where you live). Been doing tons of research because I was in the same predicament.
tldr; I bought this over the 850f-b. Hope this helped.
Wound up getting this. Was contemplating waiting longer to see if something better/cheaper came along but I got FOMO.
I was up in the air between this and newegg's Acer ED323QURA 32" https://www.newegg.com/Product/Pr...gnorebbr=1
Same price. Nearly identical specs. The LG has a few more nits(brighter) and is vertically adjustable. It also has two hdmi ports instead of one and dvi(and both have dp). The Acer is a touch faster with response time. 5 vs 4ms. Oh, and the Acer is curved. Never having had a curved monitor, I didn't see it being an issue I'd miss.

No, 850"F", which is sold at Costco, is also Freesync. 850"G" is _Gsync.
The difference between 650F and 850F is
1. back LED lighting
2. Freesync1 v. 2
3. partial HDR support for 850F.
I do not believe these differences will matter much for gamers and everyday uses. The only reason I am leaning toward 850F Costco is I can go to their store and return it free. You have to pay the return shipping for this one.

This is a fantastic buy, if anyone needs more information check the previous frontpage deal for this monitor.
