Excellent "Budget" 4k 144hz Monitor for Xbox + PC
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.

The new 32" 4k king
Last year I was luck enough to get both a PS5 and an RTX 3070ti (paired with a Ryzen 9 5950X) at retail prices thanks to some lottery style selections. But my 27" 1080p MSI Optix G27C4, while a fine monitor, just didn't let my PS5 and PC flex their true muscles. I really wanted to go 4K and 32" and after some research it looked like the Gigabyte M32U was the best there currently is coming in at the top of many lists. Then I noticed the recently released M32UC was cheaper, but also had better specs, and since I'm the only one using it I didn't care that it's a curved VA panel. Even though there are very few reviews out there I decided to take a chance and go for it.I've only had the monitor for two days, but my first impressions are great! First off the assembly was easy, the base is very sturdy and the stand moves well, though it doesn't really have the down tilt I was looking for, but it does what it needs to. Happy to say there were no stuck/dead/bright pixels on my monitor. Also if you're buying this from outside of the US it does come with three different plug options coming out of the power brick so no worries of coming up with the right version with the right plug. Interestingly the power brick is flat so it's more of a power slab, never seen one of those before. Anyway, it comes with all of the cables you need including the USB, DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 cables, but they're only about 3 feet long, the DP just barely reached my PC just under the left corner of my desk.Actually using the monitor my first impression was that it was pretty dark, and I was starting to wonder if I had made a big mistake. Going through the settings I quickly realized the default display setting is the low power "green" setting. Changing to "standerd" brightened things up considerably even though the actual brightness setting is only at 65. I found higher than 65 to be too bright and hard on the eyes. I thought my old MSI monitor was bright at 100 so this is quite the upgrade. The M32UC is edge lit so when the screen is dark there is a noticeable brightness in the corners, but it's still pretty dark thanks to its 3000:1 contrast (the M32U has a worse 1000:1 contrast). As is I was only getting 8bit color from this monitor which is what the specs say it's capable of, but once I turned HDR on in windows I actually got 10bit which is not listed in the specs so that's nice. Also it does 144Hz pretty easy, but it will overclock to 160Hz in the screen settings. Only PC game I've tried so far is WWE 2K22 which isn't all that well optimized on PC and the graphics are locked to the FPS so anything over 60FPS is sped up so it isn't a great test game but it did look fantastic!On PS5 it recognized the monitor as HDR capable immediately and ran me through some special setups. Tested it out with Horizon Forbidden West and what little I messed around with looked incredible. There was some ghosting with movement, but turning off Overdrive in the monitor settings cleared that right up. I look forward to playing a lot more AAA titles with this monitor!Overall it's just an amazing monitor that does everything I was looking for. I doubt I'll ever use the KVM function, I don't even know if I'll use the USB and I don't care, this monitor does everything I need it to, well worth the money!Side note, it's pretty light weight and the box has a single carrying handle on the top, and yet UPS plastered "heavy" and "team lift" stickers all over the box. :D

Importante
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.

Excelente para jugar y trabajar
Es un excelente monitor a pesar de la gama comercial de Gigabyte, tiene excelente calidad, resolución y la facilidad de conectar dos equipos sin necesidad de dispositivos terceros. La única observación que tengo, es que no tiene el cable USB de tipo C

Amazing
I've been using this monitor with my M2 Mac mini for just over a month, mostly for work and watching YT and movies. I'm using it at 3008 x 1692 resolution for work—spreadsheets, word processors and some coding, and at 4K for watching movies and playing Call of Duty. Text is sharp and clear. Videos, movies and games are clear and smooth, the screen is at ~23 inches from my face when working but I usually sit a few inches further out when watching vids or gaming. I use it every day for at least 9 hours, including weekends.I'm now using a Silkland USB C to DisplayPort 1.4 Cable 3.3 FT (great cable, btw) and there's nothing negative I can point out so far concerning the resolution, motion or brightness. There's no flickering or any other defect. I used the HDMI cable that comes with the monitor for a couple of weeks and although the refresh rate only goes up to 60 Hz, text and 4K videos are still great, sharp and clear. I didn't play games with the HDMI though, so I can't confirm or deny the rumours.I set the monitor up with the stand that gives a few inches of up and down and a few degrees of tilt—as conveyed in the product description, which is fine for my everyday use.The curve is smooth and nice to have, nothing bad to say about it, but you have to be aware of the fact that many light bars that clip on to the monitor will not work properly with curved screens. I opted for a desk light big enough that it clamps on the desk right behind the monitor and comes up above the screen, works great.I'm using all the ports at the back, which is also big plus. Haven't tried the KVM feature yet.Speakers are awful, as in most monitors, so you definitely need decent speakers if you're going to watch movies.The monitor itself looks good, thin bezels, the stand is solid but not huge and looks good altogether.Verdict: Assuming it will last at least 4 years without a problem at its current use, it's really worth it.

Great monitor for 4k 144hz usage
Great size for content consumption, productivity and gaming. I love that this is a all-in-one monitor that is flexible to use. Currently using a PC with a 3080 on it and playing 4k gaming is awesome. Not hitting full out 144hz on demanding titles but it's better compared to a 60hz 4k panel. Can't comment about console use since I don't have one.Should do some calibration on it, I found this panel was slightly higher in Red values which made it look a little bit off. After adjustments it is a great looking panel that won't break the bank.Fair warning though, Gigabyte QC is a bit questionable. Bought a M32U before this one that I had to return at Canada Computers due to a hot (always on) pixel. I've read on other threads that people's experiences varies quite a bit.Construction quality is fine for this monitor. Not much gamer aesthetics or RGB. I have it on a monitor arm anyways so I'm quite okay with how it looks. If you want a gamer looking monitor, you'll definitely pay the tax on it by a few hundred bucks.Bought it when it was on sale and would recommend waiting for it to go lower.
