GIGABYTE - M32U 32" LED 4K UHD FreeSync Premium Pro SS IPS Gaming Monitor with HDR (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB - Black

I am a Cybersecurity Analyst, a gamer as well, I do have the Apple Ecosystem, and I used to have two Studio Displays Monitors, but...most programs run on Windows OS, so I decided to get a computer monitor, I did try a few, last one was the Sony Inzone M9 (awesome monitor) but I felt that I needed something a bit bigger, to make it short, and not going into all the technical specs, this is without a doubt the best monitor I have ever had!! (and I am 50 years old), I have connected my Mac Mini, Xbox Series X, PS5, a Beelink computer and this thing handles everything smoothly, it is not fancy, no RGB lights, even the menu is super simple, but oh my god! Games run and look perfect, the size lets me do research, coding, work just perfect, I have never been so happy with a monitor, don' take me wrong, the Studio Displays are amazing but you are limited to Thunderbolt only, not being able to control brightness is a PC is connected, and of course, no PS5, no Xbox, if you are only using a Mac, go for it, want to use everything else? Get this!! Speakers are just some noise, but at least is something, switching between devices is automatic, and smooth, display quality is A++, I am not doing any benchmarks, tests, bla bla yada yada, looks good to me, and for the price I couldn't be happier, I highly recommend this monitor, HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, and it is 32'!! It took me three days of researching, reviews, YouTube, but this one was the most look after and mentioned, Best Buy does not have it at the stores, you need to place the order and wait, I did for mine, and it was completely worth it.

I had been on the fence about upgrading to a 4K 144hz monitor. With the advent of snagging a Xbox Series X I felt future proofing would be best. I tried the Samsung Odyssey G7 (28”) for a few weeks. It is a great monitor as well but I felt like the 32” would be even better. I was correct in spending an additional $50 for the extra screen. I coupled this with my Samsung 32” 4K 60hz monitor. I primarily play Battle Royal games (PubG/Apex) and the refresh rate, size, and color work amazing. I also use this for my main monitor for my PC and play RPG games on it (WoW/SWTOR) and it feels amazing. The only real con is that it is pretty spendy but compared to other 4K 144hz monitors it seems fair. I had no issues out of the box, plug and play!

This is the monitor that I’ve been waiting for. 32 inch, 4K, HDMI 2.1 monitor even though it’s not really the full bandwidth for HDMI 2.1. If you have the Xbox Series X however you will still be able to achieve a full 4K@120hz with dsc, unfortunately PS5’s chroma sub sampling will be capped at 4:2:0 but the untrained eye will probably barely notice this. For an IPS panel, the backlight bleed is very minimal and the contrast is above average. Of course this will vary between everyone depending on the “panel lottery”. Only rated as HDR400 but HDR surprisingly looks very good and can get decent peak brightness. If you have a windows computer, make sure to update the firmware via OSD sidekick which can help cut input lag in half for users. Unfortunately I only have Mac so I have not been able to update my firmware but my input lag has been fine. I hope they come out with a way to update firmware for mac users but for now I am very happy with this monitor.
