Great review - found the info and presentation really concise. Thanks!

Great review. Showing stats on screen comparing other gaming monitors would put you on par with other reviewers. Keep it up!

Great review, very helpful! The part where you recorded playing games was spot on.

How do I calibrate this monitor to get the most out of it ?

Let me go ahead and say that recording yourself playing games was super helpful in making my decision.

Outstanding review! Buying this for my new PC.

Thanks, it was a great review that covered everything I wanted and it helped with your fixes to most of the problems

Thanks for showing actual gaming footage!

What a great review! Purchased it prior to just seeing this . But amazing

Amazing video! I love your pronunciation too, im currently learning english but i could understand every word. Thank you!

Amazing review. JUST AMAZING!!! As reviews should be!! You have earned a new subscriber :)

Good review, I have now subscribed. Keep up the good work

Review matches my experience with the monitor too. Basically only way I could get a better monitor for my purposes would be to pay ~1,500 for a high end IPS monitor (and even then there'd still be some compromises this one doesn't make.) I will mention that it is not worth setting it to 10 bit output color depth. I the actual panel is 8 bit (though it can process 10 and 12 bit inputs) and the only real effect this has is to enforce GPU dithering for >8 bit. The cost is that it lowers the max refresh rate to 120hz (not a panel limit, but a DP1.2 and HDMI 2.0 limitation it looks like). At 120hz the ghosting and smear become significantly more noticeable. At 165 hz ghost and smear are noticeable when scrolling white text on completely back background, but the text is steal legible in motion. At 120hz the text becomes unreadable and fade-in/fade-out of bright objects on dark background is distracting. Basically - if you leave the monitor settings alone, enable HDR in win 10 and set Win 10 SDR adjustment to 90-100 it's great. One of those weird monitors where the manufacturer's out of the box settings are also basically exactly what they need to be. Also suggested to use DisplayPort so you can use HDR, G-Sync, and full-range color without dropping to 60 or 120 hz.

You forgot to mention the ability to store 3 custom presets on the monitor with the build in menu, OSD Sidekick doesn't include that plus some other options.

Great review. Thank you!

Great review. Thank you. Ive just ordered this monitor to run alongside my new PC with RTX3080, lucky boy! Your settings adjustments are really useful and will adjust as per your recommendations. Thanks again. No mention of the wobbly stand that other reviewers have mentioned but who cares. It’s now on sale at Overclockers @ £299 with free postage. Cant go wrong.

I just bought the Monitor on Black Friday. The first impression this thing is HUGE xD but now after a year i reconize the first time the black Panel Borders on the left right and top and i thougt it is a bug or something ive searched the web for hours then i saw your video and saw that is normal lol... i didnt reconized that for a year ^^ Great Monitor

Would you be able to post your calibration settings? Thanks love your videos

I just ordered one thanks👍🏾

As a media designer, I have used many screens in my life. Still I was looking for a new gaming monitor for such a long time now... and then I came across the Gigabyte G32QC. The monitor blows my mind, what a great price to performance, I am absolutely satisfied.

Nice review!

Just bought one, missing the nut part for one of the four screws for the stand/VESA mount, manufacturing fault I guess....smh. Smearing is quite noticeable on speed mode(common for VAs). Good contrast and colors though.

Nice review thanks! and just bought this monitor for $429 CAD on amazon 248 pound bruv.

I purchased this monitor before watching this video and I am impressed with the monitor. I just set the refresh rate to 165hz, and adjust the gamma and put HDR on. I do notice a softness to the resolution but it does not affect my overall feeling for this monitor. I almost bought a 1000R monitor, but coming from a purely flat monitor (42"), I did not want to overwhelm myself with such an aggressive curve. Perhaps in the future when price come down, I may purchase a 34" 1000R curved gaming monitor. I also need to upgrade my GPU, which right now is an EVGA Geforce 1050 Ti 4Gb DDR5, but I want to go up to 8Gb and better resolution.

Yep, it works great for editing, that's what I bought it for. The color accuracy is great. The only concern you may have is that it's curved, of which can make creating graphics that use straight lines a little tough for some, but it hasn't bothered me. I prefer the curve over not having one. It's a great monitor, highly recommend.

You say overdrive speed mode is good but with gsync on and around 100 frames overshoot and inverse ghosting is terrible. Pretty much unplayable. If your frames are around 80-100 with gsync only balance mode looks good with regular ghosting. Just a tip for anyone that has this monitor

You don't enable HDR in the monitor menu, you do it in windows control panel, in Display Settings. Once enabled, you're OSD will reflect the adjustment. It will also auto-detect HDR signals from games/movies.
