Bought this to have my personal laptop and work laptop to switch between with the kvm and then 4k 120hz gaming with my xbox series s. No regrets so far it’s done very well at everything I’ve thrown at it
Make a tier list of all the monitors you have reviewed and keep adding new monitors to that list everytime you review another monitor. Love the vids

Just recently received my M32U and it's a fantastic gaming monitor. Easy to set up and fantastic graphics. My gaming PC uses a AMD 6800XT, and I can easily game in 4K with high frame rate via DP, and it syncs perfect with FreeSync. I"ve currently got a a PS4 that I plan on hooking up to it also, and I love the KVM for hooking up two PC's. Highly recommend.

When I got this monitor the HDR was pretty sub par but I swear it’s gotten better after multiple firmware updates. I might be crazy
Ah of course top of my buying criteria is how crisp the text for the folder icons on my desktop look. I'm sold .
Just ordered mine 👏
It looks like the best option on the market. i looked specifically for curved and 4K option, around 27"-32"
I just bought it and im so happy!thanks for the video help us a lot!

Great review and I've just received same monitor today and I really like how yours looks but do you have HDR enabled on xbox series x settings as I've just watched another review on the M32U and the guy opened up alot more settings like fps mode by turning off HDR on the console. Also is there a reason why you have freesync premium pro off.
Excellent content torn between this or the Samsung Neo G8 for a gaming monitor. Using Xbox series X, PS5, and gaming pc 4090 GPU. Any thoughts please? If better options please let me know. Thank you!
Wow, unbelievably detailed as usual. I've been so torn looking for a good 4K gaming monitor that I can edit my KZread videos on, play 4K PC games on, and toss a console to for occasional console play. I just picked one up using your link - but one small question about the KVM. Does it switch only between the two PC/Mac inputs, or does it switch between the xbox as well (like a single button input switcher?)... oops, one other question since I couldn't find it - can you hotkey the KVM to a keyboard sequence? Thanks so much!
Dam the videos that you have been doing on monitors are awesome man. It is helping me decide which one to get. Hope you get to review the new Dell G3223q gaming monitor.

Good review, yeah it just seems like the most well rounded 32 in monitors on the market. For someone who specifically wants a 32 in monitor at 4K 144hz, it's honestly hard to really find anything much better than this monitor without a ton of compromises or with a much greater price hike. Like I wouldn't mind going for that Samsung G7 monitor, but I just can't really do VA panel ghosting and flickering at lower FPS. Hope we can eventually get more 32 in 4K monitors with the feature set/specs of the Alienware 34 ultra wide monitor at that same price point one of these days lol.

Hey nice video, what would you recommend getting for a gaming monitor mainly going to be played in a dark room with led strips around the top? Not necessarily a bright room but not dark at all. Would you recommend the lg 950 or this? Thanks.
Got the same monitors love it
If a monitor has freesync premium pro and is g sync compatible, like this particular monitor, does that mean it can run both g sync and HDR at the same time?
Is it also good for mixed use between MacBook,pc and ps5? I need it to run especially on mac and pc
I do not see an optical audio connection. What monitor do you recommend in this category with that feature?
Just sent in an order for 3 of these for my sim racing rig they have a massive 300$ rebate in Canada. So under 3K for 3 after tx for 4k 32" is hard to pass up.
question idk if you reply to comments but i was wondering if there’s currently a better 32 option around the same budget even if it’s abit more expensive
I’ve been on the LG 34gp83a for the last 18 months. Just received the M32U yesterday and I LOVE it! Huge difference in picture quality and very smooth. I went with the M32U until more flat qd-oled or mini led 32” with more than 1000 dimming zones are available. But for now this is awesome!

I got one of these and returned it because the white point in sRGB mode is really green. (Replaced with a Cooler Master GP27U which was a huge step up) How did you check the color accuracy?
I got this monitor the biggest problem that I’m having is what do I use to wipe the screen off of dust what good company makes good wipes for this monitor
im mostly single player guy right now rarely i play a competitive multiplayer game like cod halo and fornite as right now i only play story mode of game and i dont know if this monitor for me im mostly looking monitor produce amazing color accuracy and 4k run smootlhy and look amazing when im passing a story in game and you know looking around while passing story to impress me while doing it !
Which is good between m32u and dell g3223q, please answer
yo @type-c tech reviews i cant decide between this or the innocn mini led, can you please help me to decide. i care mostly about picture quality and that wow factor
Hmm, funny, on my monitor, the "AMD Freesync Premium PRO" setting is OFF no matter if I set it to enable or disable. Firmware F10, nvidia videocard though. Still , I recall that I saw it ON at a point in time ...
I wish I could find this monitor in Canada. To import it here off Amazon, it starts getting pretty pricey... I'll keep my eye out, but thanks for this!

Is this a good monitor to pair with a PS5 and a Macbook Pro M1?
So I’m confused…new to pc gaming and currently in the process of upgrading to 4090 coming from an amd build equivalent to 3060. I’m Use to Tvs being more straightforward so I apologize for the rest of my question if it seems stupid or wateva, so with that being said, I’ve looked at the link to this monitor and there’s a lot of conflicting answers as to if this monitor is in fact 4k, let alone 120 fps on both ps5 and XBSX at 4K. I was interested in this monitor after the video but after reading the comments on Amazon I’m left scratching my head. I originally planned on getting the Sony Inzone monitor. Should I just go with the inzone?
Will there be a review of the Gigabyte M32UC monitor please?
If there was a monitor that would be perfect for console gaming, would you suggest this ? Or what would be the next best for 4k @ 120Hz (if there is one)

Would you recommend it over the LG 32GQ950-B?
what's the war game you played in your review?
Does both the M28U and M32U have AMD Freesync premium pro? I only see it advertised for the M28U
How does this compare to the LG Ultragear 32GQ950-B? obvious price but what about everything else?
Does this monitor allow the HDR settings on Playstation? Aswell as the 1440p test and all that?
I have my eye on this monitor but its only 8 bit ftc or whatever, is that as good as 10 bit? cause i currently have an omen 27i and i want an upgrade
Is the screen matte or glossy finish?
Dude, you can change the osd size. 30 seconds looking at the menu, you would have found it
This monitor or the LG UltraGear 32GQ950? I have an older acer x34p and the pictures feels wached out. Its Kinda greyish
currently on sale for cyber monday for $560! grabbing one
so you're saying this model in a 28 in variant is no good? and should instead opt for 1440p for panel that size?
What is difference between 1440p 27 inch vs 2160p 27 inch monitor? I want for gaming . I have a 1440p 27 inch already!
Can I get 4K @120Hz with UHD 770 (i5-1260K @mobo MSI Pro B660m-A)?
What picture mode should I use for gaming ?
which is better for gaming on console m32u or m32uc
So basically my monitor looks lowkey blurred? I dont know What to do and i use it for my ps5 and Got it tester day
here in the philippines lg oled c2 42 inch is $900 should i get this over gigabyte m32u?
I originally bought the 42" LG C2 but imo it is too big for desktop. Unless you are 40" away from your screen it is overkill. I cannot wait until a 32" OLED is inevitably released. I know Alienware has a 34" but not a fan of ultrawide. I switched to this m32u in the meantime.

I have seen it as low as $799 at micro center as well as Best Buy. Just keep checking and the warranty is normally an additional $150. Also remember this is considered top tier as most would be fine with 1080, or 1440 but if you want 4k this is the way to go. Your eyes adjust to the bigger screen in no time.

@Case_
Жыл бұрын
On PS5, just set it to 4k and don't change it, there's no reason to use 1440p on a 4k monitor on PS5 - there's no performance gain in games (on PS5, it doesn't work like it does on PC where lowering resolution improves your performance) and you're only making your image less sharp than it could be.
Hey man, I am looking at getting this monitor or the Acer Predator XB283K (28in) you reviewed. I am coming from a 1080 screen, so either will be a big change. I game and do work on my PC. This larger screen of the Gigabyte M32U is only 70 dollars more today for cyber monday. What is your choice between the two? Thanks!

I am trying to choose between M32U, M32UC and M28U. Mostly, I would like to try a curved monitor, but I didn't see many videos about that monitor. In my country the M28U is 500 euros, the M32UC is 640 euros and the M32U is around 700 euros. What do you say? I mostly play games with story: RDR 2, GTA V, The Last of Us etc. And I often play PUBG. For FPS games, I think a smaller screen is better because you don't have to move your eyes so much. But for story games, I think the 32 inch would be better. My GPU is 4070ti. In future when the GPU will get old, I will need to put the resolution at 2K. I don't think that 4K on 28 inch is so good, but also 2K on 32 inch isn't as good as 2K on 28 inch. What would be your advice?
