Gigabyte M32U 4K 144Hz Gaming Monitor Review

[@haneefmuhammad3079]

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

[@TypeCTechReviews]

Great idea!!

[@StormyMainShorts]

@@TypeCTechReviews Do it

[@TheZyrkProductions]

​@TypeCTechReviews you mentioned it can output 10bit colors. Have you had any issues with this? How can you test this? Thank you for the review.

[@MrBenjibb]

Ah of course top of my buying criteria is how crisp the text for the folder icons on my desktop look. I'm sold .

[@txchristopherreed]

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.

[@GubiYoroi2]

theres the 28u version it seems similar compare the two are they same only diffrent is size i am right or wrong ?

[@connorvaziri9319]

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

[@stackerman2800]

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

[@merritt2014]

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.

[@QuBitGaming]

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!

[@NickyNicest]

Yes it can't come soon enough! Tried the 42" LG C2 but imo it is just too big for desktop use.

[@MuahMan]

[@GagnonGaming88]

[@NickyNicest]

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.

[@MrAaronBlues]

What is your experience with it?

[@sergiosandoval9275]

Hey Nicholas just bought a c2 same 42 and I am in the same boat I want to pick up this one tomorrow to compare. I was impressed by the c2 but I literally have a 65inch c1 on the wall right next to my set up. So just wondering if you have enjoyed your experience with this monitor.

[@3meir]

@@sergiosandoval9275 hello, i found the M32Uin a local store with 3 years warranty for 750$ and LG C2 for 1050$ but online ( no warranty ) would you say your LG is much better is worth the money and getting it even with no warranty?

[@sergiosandoval9275]

@@3meir yes my friend definitely wait for the C2 if you care about clarity and picture quality. Blows it out of the water. I paid $1400 for mine when it first launched. 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.

Wow, unbelievably detailed as usual. I've been so torn looking for a good 4K gaming monitor that I can edit my KZbin 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!

[@ZeZZooo]

This monitor does 12 bit colors on HDMI 2.1 on PC, not only 10 bit like he said. But I am guessing he uses Displayport then 10 bit is max. :) @Type-C Tech Reviews I notice when you were in monitor menu, that you have freesync premium OFF. Is this something you recommend not to use? I ask because I bough this on very redused price few days ago, and it's on it's way to me by post service.

[@yomansup]

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!

[@Squishmallows24]

Me personally I’ll spend $3-4k for an oled tv but damn idk why $600 sounds like a lot for a 32 inch monitor. I usually never spend more than $400 for a monitor

[@user_23165]

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 ...

[@almansour_82]

[@davidhughes1275]

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.

[@robert0502]

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?

Hi!How does it look if you downscale resolution to 1440 or 1080? I am going to use it with PS5 (4k and 1440) and laptop (1080)

[@Case_]

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.

[@88peezy]

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?
