Pros:
- 4k at 32 inches is just perfect (see review below for details)
- 144hz is excellent for gaming (although 4k requires a good computer or next gen console to drive)
- Bright IPS panel looks stunning (I can't speak for color accuracy, but it looks fantastic to my eyes)
- Hdmi 2.1 for next gen consoles (I use with a series x, it is amazing)
- Good stand (It's plastic, but it has good adjustment and is very understated for a gaming monitor)
- Usb hub (I thought I wouldn't care about this, but it is actually immensely useful)
- Usb c input (Haven't tested this yet, but I plan to soon once I get the right cable)
Cons:
- Some backlight bleed (Not really noticeable unless HDR is on though, and most will not use HDR anyway)
Neither:
- HDR - it exists, but with like 12 dimming zones, it's really a personal preference whether or not to use it. I enjoy it with bright games as it makes the colors pop a bit more, but I don't think I'll use it for dark games or movies. It's better than I expected, so it's not quite a con, but don't but this monitor for HDR.
I was in the market for a 32 inch monitor. Having used different monitor sizes, I've found 32 inches to be the sweet spot for me in terms of screen real estate for desktop usage. At the same time, it is also fantastic for more casual gaming. If you are competitive, go 27 inches and 240 hz, but for the casual gamer 32 inches is much more immersive. I was all set to purchase the Gigabyte M32Q, which is essentially the exact same monitor as this but with a 1440p resolution instead of 4k. It retails for around $400 on sale, so about half the price of this M32U without a sale. I was actually using a placeholder budget 1440p 32 inch office monitor with a VA panel before I purchased this. So I experienced 1440p at 32 inches. Then, I saw this monitor on sale for $600; it was such a good deal that I went for it. I cannot go back. 4k looks so much better than 1440p at this screen size for desktop use it is hard to describe. Text is so much sharper and the monitor is much more enjoyable to use. Now, there is some backlight bleed, but this is unfortunately fairly typical for ips panels, and it is only obnoxious in HDR mode. In all other circumstances, the monitor looks fantastic. For gaming, it also looks insane, although it is extremely difficult to run games at 4k 144fps, so you will often have to rely on DLSS or running at non-native resolutions (that's what my series x usually does). So in conclusion, if you want a 32 inch monitor for both productivity and gaming, get this. Even at $700-$750, get it. It is hard to describe how much better the pixel density is. However, if you want a monitor exclusively for gaming, and you have anything less than a next gen console or rtx 3070, get the m32q. But, for those who can afford it and utilize it properly, this monitor is amazing.
Anyway, I think the screen looks amazing.
I like that the monitor comes with hdmi and displayport and usb-b cables, but I had to order a usb-c cable (Cable Matters 10Gbps USB C to USB C Monitor Cable 3 ft
with 4K 120Hz — note that 6 ft cables do not support 120Hz). I had gotten some glitches (horizontal lines and occasional blanking) when using it with my old displayport cable but the one that came with the monitor worked well. So if you're seeing glitches, consider that it might be the cable.
The only downside is that I had ordered the Arm Edition (-AE) but Amazon mislabeled the box and sent me the non-arm version. Amazon support didn't understand what I was talking about and I gave up on them. The non-arm version is almost as good, so I decided to keep it instead of trying to deal with Amazon support, and I'll buy a monitor arm later.
I wanted to stick with 4k, but go slightly larger so I didn't have to sit so close. I did a couple days' research and settled on this monitor. It supports the latest protocols: DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, USB-C, and AMD FreeSync. It even has a built in KVM switch.
I connected my PC to one of the HDMI ports. My Nvidia 3080 supports HDMI 2.1 and Freesync, so I'm getting 4k at 144 kHz. Text is crisp, the colors are vibrant, and no ghosting that I can see when playing Deep Rock Galactic or Doom Eternal. I did have to up the brightness to 90% though. The larger screen means I can sit slightly farther back for the same resolution, meaning less neck strain.
However, it didn't look good at all on the Mac, at first. The HDMI connection gave me the dreaded pink tinted screen. After Googling around, the general consensus is that comes from using a low end cable. So I tried USB-C. The monitor didn't recognize that at all.
I went to Best Buy and got an official Apple USB-C cable. It took a while for the Mac to recognize the new monitor (driver install?) and then suddenly it popped into life. I also turned off font smoothing. Now the Mac looks terrific - 4k at 60 Hz with crisp text and no gray-on-gray fuzziness. Just in case, I also got a new HDMI cable that specifically said it supported HDMI 2.1. That did fix the pink screen issue. Now HDMI and USB-C look the same to me.
For comparison, my 15.4" Macbook Pro retina screen has 220 DPI. A 32" 4k monitor has 138 DPI. That's a big drop, but with a larger monitor you can sit farther back. At my normal 24" viewing distance I'm not seeing much difference between this monitor and the Retina display.
Then I tried the KVM switch. I plugged my mouse and keyboard into the monitor. For PC, there is an odd USB-B-with-an-extra-hump connector. For Mac, you use USB-C. In fact, that cable can carry video too. So that's two cables for keyboard and mouse (USB-A), two to the PC (HDMI2.1 and USB-B), and one to the
Mac (USB-C). Plus the power cable.
Thanks to the people who mentioned the power switch underneath the monitor. That sucker is well hidden and the instructions are terrible -- they just say "Powering on" and point to the side of the monitor. The button is underneath. How many service calls and RMAs could they avoid by making that more clear?
The included stand is really good. It is VESA-compatible and allows you to raise, tilt, and swivel. It even has a large slot for cable management.
The KVM switch works surprisingly well. No major problems with it so far. One tap on the button and it switches between Mac and PC in about 3 seconds.
However, the KVM switch automatically switches when one signal cuts off, which can be annoying. For example, when I reboot my PC and I want to see the BIOS screen, it flips to Mac instead. The simple fix is to disconnect the Mac before rebooting. I wish there was a way to disable that feature, but I couldn't find one, even with OSDSidekick.
Top reviews from other countries
Should do some calibration on it, I found this panel was slightly higher in Red values which made it look a little bit off. After adjustments it is a great looking panel that won't break the bank.
Fair warning though, Gigabyte QC is a bit questionable. Bought a M32U before this one that I had to return at Canada Computers due to a hot (always on) pixel. I've read on other threads that people's experiences varies quite a bit.
Construction quality is fine for this monitor. Not much gamer aesthetics or RGB. I have it on a monitor arm anyways so I'm quite okay with how it looks. If you want a gamer looking monitor, you'll definitely pay the tax on it by a few hundred bucks.
Bought it when it was on sale and would recommend waiting for it to go lower.
