Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q X Review - 32" 1440p at 270Hz!
Ғылым және технология
Today Dominic is taking a look at the Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q X gaming monitor. It's a 32-inch 1440p display with a 240Hz refresh rate - but it can even run at 270Hz via overclocking. It's not cheap though, currently on offer at £840 (down from £900), so is it worth buying? Read more here: bit.ly/3i7LG6Y

Hey Kitguru, I'm having a really hard time getting the KVM to work on this monitor, just wondering if you had the same issue, perhaps I should return it...
This is literally the only review for this monitor on KZread. Without this video I wouldn't have known which OD settings to use. Thank you!
Super helpful review man, thank you
The xb323u gp is on sale for $550. 32” 1440p 170hz and hdr600 it’s a steal at the price!
Hi all - bought this monitor but for some reason the aorus logo in the front has no light and the power led is very weak and dim in the light. Perhaps its just me that is clueless, but does it only work with rgb fusion and osd sidekick ?
Did you maybe test how the Overshoot etc performs with Freesync on? Freesync sometimes changes the overdrive performance in a major way
Hey mate - how I do enable the 270hz? I can't seem to see it. Thanks.
just now bought this monitor fi32q x i can say im not satisfied with thepicture quality, is it beacause its an 8 bit monitor only? is a 8 bit monitor has a big difference with 10 bit monitor? im miss my 5 yrs sony tv X1 as my monitor
if I get this monitor can I calibrate the colors by your? or are they all slightly different?
Hey, can you also use the monitor well for the next Gen consoles? He has HDMI2.1😅
I am planning to buy this monitor, is it a good purchase now after over 1 year after release?
Does this thing work with 4090 or 3090 now or ur still having issues going up to 270z
Would u recommend this over the m32u?
Would this monitor be good for ps5, i play mw2/warzone?
Good upgrade for €349?? (I currently have a 2560x1080 monitor so 1440p would be an improvement)
Aorus fl32q X or ROG Swift PG329Q?
Hello. Does it support 4K 120Hz on PC?
Question, I'm trying to hit the current mid-range sweet spot for gaming 1440P with a rtx3060ti set up. I need two monitors. I would like to run guild wars2 at close to max settings as possible. I also work from home so one screen would just be dedicated for multitasking multiple programs/windows open. At the now price of $350-399 US this seems like a solid choice for the features do you agree? Also would this be ok for a PS4 pro?

It's certainly an impressive monitor and sounds like it would do the job for your needs. PS4 Pro should work fine too, I've not tested that but being 16:9 with HDMI ports shouldn't throw up any problems. I couldn't say for sure about VRR though without testing it myself
Great input on the monitor. Hard to believe even this late into the year, you are the only video reviewing this monitor. I will say the problem is in both with HDMI and display port. Did a firm ware update and can't get past 144hrz.

I'm getting issues where when i open a game it goes black for a second and changes my native resolution to 4k and max 144hz. Even if it's 1440p in the game settings, it's only at 144hz. Not 240/270 hz. For valorant I disabled fullscreen optimisation and it worked, but for other games it doesn't work.

Hi Kitgutu, I got myself this monitor to be able to play on my Desktop in 240 hz which is working fine and to be able to play PS5 Games such as Fifa and CoD on 120 hz. However I can't manage to set the monitor to 120 hz / 120 fps. This monitor has 2x HDMI 2.1 ports and I'm using Ultra HDMI cables as well but within the monitor settings it only shows 120 hz. As far as I understood I set everything on the PS5 right as well. Do you know what I'm doing wrong here?

If you are referring to the PC side of things, try using the DisplayPort cable it came with. The monitor ports on it are only hdmi 2.0, which I believe do not support 1440p 240hz.

Are the only differences between the X and non-X the 240MHz, HDR level, and Quantum Dot Color? Is that really worth the huge price difference? I can get the non-X for around $400 on Newegg right now. I'm looking for a G-Sync compatible monitor with built in KVM because I am really getting tired of moving monitors and keyboard/mouse around between my work laptop and gaming PC.

Hey bud this monitor usually goes around $850. It’s probably the best all around monitor there is. 1440p@270hz 4k@144hz 4k@120hz (console) Gsync works perfectly. Low response time. Definitely recommend it. Only thing that can beat this would be a 4K 180hz or 4K 175hz

I have a 3070 and play csgo and rocket league on pc. Halo I have to lower the resolution in game same with cod. But it still looks better on the 4k panel. 👍🏼 the sharpness is insane!

This is probably the best screen for triples sim racing, but i think this monitor is priced a little to high, it should have an MSRP of $800 with sales around $700, Gigabyte mess up giving them more expensive frame / base, they should have used the same as the M32U and gave us a lower retail msrp.

@@KitGuruTech Thing is the G7 is the only VA with fast response times and no dark level issues. In fact it beats most if not all IPS high hz monitors. Using the limited dimming zones option in SDR hides any backlight bleed plus no ips glow and takes the black levels to an almost proper FALD level. As long as you sit straight on and get used to the curve i can't think of any better 1440p high hz monitor to get. Even HDR is decent and if set right in game looks at least better than SDR. I got my 27" for under £500 and at 240hz i don't need g sync as tearing is a non issue.
