GIGABYTE M32U - 32" IPS Gaming Monitor - UHD 3840x2160-144Hz - 1ms MPRT - AMD FreeSync Premium Pro - Type C KVM - HDMI, DP, Type C - Height Adjustable - Black (M32U-SA)

I bought this monitor for $600, $200 cheaper than msrp and at least $200 below the competition for 4k 144hz monitors. If you see it at this price, and are in the market for a 32 inch monitor for gaming, buy it immediately before stock runs out. I didn't want to spend this much, but it's worth every penny. 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.

This monitor is sharp, has easy to use controls, and has a pretty good KVM switch. When I plug in the USB-C input/output, it switches quickly to that display (work laptop) and it also routes the usb devices (keyboard and mouse) to that computer. When I unplug it, it switches quickly to the other computer (gaming desktop) and routes the usb devices to it. 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 love this monitor. I didn't even realize it had speakers until I started wondering why my sound was so much better (I was using old USB Logitechs). Anyway, I can't speak of color accuracy or to any of the dizzying array of metrics used to critique displays, but for me, it's perfect. Very clear picture and very uniform. No backlight issues. No dead pixels. The KVM feature needs to be better documented, but I got it working just fine, switching between work and home computers fairly easily. Note you'll need OSD sidekick installed on both machines if you want to use the keyboard hotkey to switch the KVM. This may be an issue for corporate workstations, which generally have policies regarding third party software. Regardless, the KVM button on the back is accessible enough that it makes switching a pretty quick affair. I'm building a new computer for gaming and not quite sure if the KVM will introduce enough latency to matter, but that could be an issue for others. I do not "twitch" game, and I'm bad enough it won't matter. Overall, I am very pleased. One of my best purchases in recent years. Improved my quality of life considerably limping along with the garbage I was using before.

I got the M32U-AE Arm Edition. Coming from using a Vizio 43" 4K TV as a monitor, it's a whole lot nicer as a full on computer monitor: 4K@144hz over USB-C or displayport is night and day vs. 30hz HDMI, the KVM is _very_ nice, cleaning up my desktop significantly and switches quickly w/ no issues, wakes up consistently, all things that make a KVM worth it. The desk mount arm works well and further reduces space taken (and helps angle adjustment a ton). For media (including gaming, refresh rate notwithstanding) it's just not as nice a picture as the TV VA panel w/ local dimming can do. The HDR mode on this monitor, isn't really worth it imo and the standard 'IPS glow" is noticable. I don't really use the other _gaming oriented_ features like onscreen crosshair (or PIP/multi-input for that matter), oh and the built in speakers are pretty bad. Overall, I'm happy keeping it. It's great for working on, takes up less room on the desk than a truly huge display, and 4K@144hz is really nice for gaming. The picture quality/contrast ratio is OK for movies and games, but can't match a standard tv in the same price range (or a much more expensive monitor probably (

I have used the monitor for a few days now and so far there have been 0 issues. I'm usually quite sensitive to things like dead pixels or poor backlights/colours but have not found any problem (some amount of backlight bleed is to be expected for every IPS display). I'm upgrading from the s2721dgf Dell 27in 165hz 2k monitor and it is indeed a great upgrade. This is perhaps the best monitor you can buy in the 800CAD range since monitors using identical panels go well over 1000CAD as of the writing of this review. 1 Year Update: I have been using this monitor for a year since this review. Here are some issues I found: 1. If you have a keyboard/mouse connected to this monitor, when your PC goes to sleep, you can't use the keyboard/mouse to wake up the PC. This was not a problem on my Dell monitor, so I ended up connecting my accessories to my Dell monitor instead. 2. After updating Windows from 10 to 11, monitor when at max 4K 144Hz sometimes have weird artifact (I'm using AMD RX 6800XT). Here are some weird issues that have since been resolved: - when colour is grey-yellowish, it becomes a weird patch of lighter grey. - when watching youtube, screen will randomly flash white for maybe 1 frame when moving the mouse (not always, haven't found a consistent trigger) - these issues only happened after Windows upgrade. And the above has since been resolved on its own possibly from GPU driver/Windows updates. Currently, I still notice very 1 minor issue: - when at 4K 144Hz, watching youtube going back and to fullscreen, the screen will very briefly flash black. I tried different display settings and only after setting refresh rate to 120Hz did this stop. But the flash is very subtle and brief so it's not a concern. - note that I don't know what firmware version I'm currently on, so it's possible your mileage may vary. Other than the above issues, this monitor has been great. Text especially Chinese looks much clearer on 4K than my old 2K monitor. Fantastic for text writing/coding uses. Hence, keeping the review at 5 stars.

Es bueno, tomen en cuenta que cómo menciona 1 comentario no puedes usar los 145HZ con GPU de Nvidia correctamente ya que al cambiar de pantalla con ALT +tab tiene un delay es corregible hasta cierto punto y con 120HZ pero si se vuelve molesto por lo demás excelente 👌 y el tema es de NVidia no del monitor entonces mmm espermos que Nvidia algún día haha algo.

Been using this monitor for 3 years now for competitive and casual gaming on ps5 works amazing would recommend.

No encuentro nada malo que decir, encantado con la compra y desempeño de este monitor, excelente relación calidad precio, super cierto lo que han dicho de este monitor, por algo ha sido recomendado por muchos youtubers, gamers y sitios como rtings.com, si estás indeciso sobre comprarlo, no sufras y cómpralo sin miedo, no te vas a arrepentir, todo lo contrario.

Justo lo que buscaba para mi ps5, en ocasiones lo conecto a mi computadora de escritorio. Llego en perfecto estado.
