I just got the curved version of this monitor, coming from a 27" 2k monitor. Huge difference of course! I watched your video because I was getting a bit frustrated by "black" looking "gray" on my monitor. Finally figured out to change the RGB range setting from auto (or 16-255) to 0-255. Now blacks look black. :) Thanks for this video.

Mate this is awesome. Can you do a video or send a link to how to dial in the settings for this screen? Specifically settings for Macbook "work" and settings for pc "play?

I'll be getting XBSX this coming black Friday and I am on a search for a good 4K 32" monitor. I recently learned to stay away from OLED displays because of its burn in & image retention issues. I'll be using the monitor for both gaming and music production (my full-time work) as well as watching movies casually. I have this monitor available in stock at my local shop. After 6 months, what do you think about it? Thanks :)

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I think it depends on what you want - if you need the KVM switch and don't care about the low PD of the USB-C port, this one is pretty good. Otherwise, I'd go for one with higher PD if you want one cable for your laptop. I mainly got this monitor for the KVM switch, but I find myself using the OSD to switch input more often (which makes the KVM switch kinda pointless) so if I were to buy a monitor today, I'd probably explore other options. MSI MAG 322UPF is a great option, for example, but please DYOR 🫡

Hi this was really helpful especially the reddit link to the color calibration thanks! One question, it seems like adjusting the user define colors makes it a bit less bright. Did you find this? Even though its technically meant to be 350 nits it just does not get as bright or seem to match the colors to the macbook the same way that my wife's LG 27UN880p does. Also, don't yet have a PS5/Xbox Series X but thinking about getting one - how big a difference is 60fps vs 120fps? Does it really make that much difference? Thanks!

I just compared sRGB with my Custom profile at the same brightness and I think they have the same brightness. Though I'd say sRGB appears a bit brighter due to the warmer color tone, but I believe they're equally bright in reality. For the next question, I guess it depends the type of games you play. Unfortunately, I haven't played enough (high-FPS) games to be able to answer it, lol. The ones I did play run 60 FPS max.

Do you have any issues with audio pass-thru? Are you passing audio into the monitor via the video signals and then passing it back out via the 3.5mm stereo minijack? I'm planning a similar setup to you, but with a desktop PC, a Dell laptop and a Macbook Pro M1. My plan is to run: - Macbook Pro M1 into a dock that supports DisplayPort over usb-c, then from the dock into the monitor via usb-c - Dell laptop into a Dell dock via USB-C then from the dock to the monitor via HDMI w/ audio - Desktop PC directly into the monitor via HDMI w/audio Then the plan is to simply run a 3.5mm stereo cable from the monitor to my speakers. Will that work under this model?

The speakers I use (Logitech G560) run on a USB connection so I’m not using the audio jack for speakers. I do use it for headphones, though, and it works fine on both macOS and Windows. In theory, your setup should work but I can’t be sure since I haven’t done so.

This has PBP right? Do you ever use that? I'm looking for 1 monitor to stream from that would be able to play a game at 120hz still while having obs up on the same screen as well...

I don’t use PIP/PBP, but it does have that feature and should work well for what you need :)

Hi Kim! Could you please let me know the length of the HDMI cable and the power cable that come with the M32U? Mine will arrive in the next few days, and I’m preparing to buy new cables if necessary. Thank you very much for your help!

@kimkoh Ай бұрын

Hey Junior, just measured the HDMI cable and it's about 1.5m long. Power cable is too much hassle to unplug - the cables are a mess right now, so sorry about that. But I believe it's about the same length as well.

What's the lowest height it could go?

@daveyeoh1719 Ай бұрын

is there scaling issue with the mac on text/fonts ? 3840x 2160 or 3840x1600?

@kimkoh Ай бұрын

It works well with Mac. It's 16:9 ratio, so it'd be 3840x2160 or 3200x1800. But there are other Retina resolutions you can use too.

Can you run 4K 120 fps on PS5 with HDMI 2.1? Please answer 🙏🏻 I'll get this monitor soon

Yes, but with chroma subsampling.

Also, is the KVM switch a true KVM switch where the computer doesn't think it lost a connection, or do these act like a simple switch and the computer thinks a new monitor was hooked up each time?

@kimkoh 6 ай бұрын

I’ve never used a KVM switch before, but like I mentioned in the video, the monitor has issues detecting signal from the other input when it’s inactive or even in sleep mode. When switching from Windows to Mac - if the Mac is in deep sleep, I have to press the on/off button on the Mac Studio to wake it up and vice versa. So perhaps it’s not a “true” KVM switch then?

@NickVincent-q3d 6 ай бұрын

@@kimkoh yeah true KVM switches are crazy expensive and it's because they maintain that connection -- or atleast they convince your computers that they're still connected, then it just swaps out the signal as needed. So you could have 3 comps and 1 monitor and all 3 think a monitor is hooked up to them simultaneously (but only 1 controls the actual signal). I think it's called EDID emulation.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing :)

Is it good for phot editing?

@kimkoh Ай бұрын

It depends. 95% DCI-P3 coverage is good enough for me, but hey, I’m not a professional photographer so I can’t speak for one. If you need really high color accuracy, perhaps LG is a better option :)
