This is why we don't have a better selection of non-rgb products for gamers.

Gigabyte will come out with the M32U soon, which is the cheaper version of this one ( same panel)

hoping you do a M32U video. very interested to see how it compares to the this monitor and the M28U.

Thank you Tim! Been waiting on your review to buy or not buy this.

Finally just what I wanted Just started watching the video so hoping response time and color performance is good

Thanks a lot! Great and thorough review. Very much appreciated. Was deciding between a 28" samsung odyssey G7 4k 144hz 2021 model and maybe something of a bigger size. But FI32U is not quite that. Hopefully G7 4k will do better.

I think I trust these guys the most with their reviews. Smart and thorough.

I was waiting for this and 32" 4k 144Hz monitors in general but I'm glad I just bought a 48" C1 instead

Looking at the monitor's screen in the video. "Wow, great colors, excellent quality". But wait. I am not watching it through my monitor? So my monitor is excellent with great colors. Perfect! I don't need to upgrade!

I thought about buying this monitor the last couple of weeks, but I'm glad I came across your video. This seemed like a great monitor but it's not quite what I thought, thanks for sharing.

I’m really considering this monitor. I’m not overly fussed on the minute little flaws here and there in terms of the performance. Finding a HDMI 2.1 monitor that’s perfect at this price point is next to impossible. I really do prefer 30” over, anything below is a little too small. But I’m glad to see this one holds up. As a console gamer who is just looking for the HDMI 2.1 functionality I hope this will be a sufficient monitor.

Thank you to Tim for reviewing this product. I would suggest that every single future monitor advertised as "HDMI 2.1" needs to be checked for the bandwidth available on those ports. It is so depressing to read the spec of this monitor on Gigabyte's website. It reads in the note: "HDMI 2.1 supports PS5 and Xbox Series X at 4K UHD@120Hz (4:2:0)". What does this mean? Does it mean 4K/120 8-bit 4-2-0 (18 Gbps) or 4K/120 10-bit 4-2-0 (20 Gbps)? Can it process 4K/120 10-bit signal from consoles and GPUs at 18 Gbps? The HDMI spec would not allow this. Does the monitor support TMDS signalling only or FRL too? If it supports FRL, does it support FRL3 only (up to 24 Gbps), FRL4 (up to 32 Gbps), etc.? Tim, could you please, check this with Gigabyte? There has been so much inadequate marketing of HDMI 2.1 features and port speeds.

It doesn't explode? Hard pass. I'm sad Gigabyte introduce booming new features, then remove it in their next product. Should stick with their brand recognition.

great review as always but i would like to know what monitor you use. im waiting for the 42 lg oled

great reviews dude

Possibly for end of month: We see a lot of these 4K monitors with refresh rates. However getting high FPS simultaneously with 4K is no easy task, especially while using Ray Tracing. So my question is: could manufacturers produce a say 90Hz max refresh rate monitor with VRR and use those "savings" in order to improve other aspects of the performance (bringing the cumulative deviation and ghosting rates down across the VRR range, and improving color accuracy overall) or even lower costs and selling price? Also cutting their fake HDR support while they're at it, imho. Or is this just not how monitor building works? Thanks.

I'm waiting for you guys to review Acer Predator x34GS. Awesome review as always

Is it worth redoing some of the tests on the FI32U since it had a new firmare update? Fixed some problems and improved input latency apparently.

M32U is the likely candidate to deliver the optimal price/perf ratio.

for all UHD monitors, can you test if they work well with QHD input? this will allow higher frame rates while gaming.

After having a 30" Dell U3011 for over 5 years now, I don't think I could ever go to something smaller so 27" is right out. Monitors like this are starting to look pretty appealing. Of course if I upgrade this then my 1080ti likely won't be good enough to push 4K, and since I'm upgrading the video card it's probably time to upgrade the CPU and motherboard to - and away we goooooo! Maybe by the time I'm ready to upgrade all of that micro LED will finally be out solving all the LCD and OLED problems once and for all :p

The FI32U got a Firmwareupdate - F06 - on 2021/11/09 to reduce input lag.
