Excellent review, really really thorough analysis by far the best i found. I ended up buying it before watching your review, and here i was all worried that maybe i didn't made a nice buy, but at least here in Brazil it seems to be the best price/performance qhd 165hz on market. If the price of the gigabyte monitor were in the same margin i would go for it instead! Thank you again, keep up with the amazing work!

It's a pretty decent monitor but the Gigabyte G32QC-A really offers more, with actual DCI-P3 handling, a much brighter screen so HDR actually looks decent, plus height adjust too. Check our review- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWPGY5qsmKaXY5o And please subscribe!

I don't know why it has a speaker volume adjustment when it has no speakers either. But I'm really happy with this so far.

I know its hdr is relatively bad, but after trying both hdr mode and sdr, i prefer the colors and overall look of the hdr mode, and don't have a issue with its low brightness since i play in the dark mod of the time. The hdr effect works well enough in games to not bother me. Great monitor overall. Been use to a 1366x766p 32" monitor, so this is superb eye candy to me lmao.

[@Techspin]

Glad it works for you, but we don't recommend this panel for any use in HDR- just look at a new miniLED TV showing HDR content and you see how HDR should actually look.

Thanks for getting some negatives mentioned in the first three minutes. I am happy with my QN600 32" which I use for everything, except I don't game at all.

I saw an ad for this 32GN600 and got a bit excited because of the current discount to C$199 but I think I'll hold out for another QN600 if they go on sale. I think the specs of IPS and higher bit depth than the GN are probably characteristics that are making me like the one I have and they'd be setup in dual monitor from one PC.

I wish you had shown a few more shots of the menu and how to set some of the color profiles since that's pretty confusing, but this is a review afterall and not a how-to.

[@Techspin]

HDR requires a bunch of things to go right, including the source sending it and the sending port's capability ie HDMI 1.4 vs 2.0, the connecting wire's spec, and the monitor /display capabilities. The reason we test with PS4 is that is solves the first problem, without Windows weirdness. But HDR can be difficult to get working properly on the best day.

regarding HDR, it has to be calibrated within windows. if on windows 10/11, you have to download and install the microsoft HDR calibration tool. it GREATLY improved this exact panel i am using. also, there is a slider in the display settings to adjust the overall brightness of the HDR monitor while displaying SDR content

[@Techspin]

The calibration tool unfortunately can't increase the maximum nits this panel can show. The brightness slider simply dims from max brightness (mediocre, detail lost in the darkness) to dim. The HDR calibration tool can adjust aspects of HDR but unfortunately can't increase the maximum nits of this panel. The max panel brightness is 100 nits less than similar MSRP models, though this panel is on sale frequently. Please subscribe!

[@izri1]

Why the does no one produce monitors bigger than 32 inch which are not ultra wide? I am looking for a monitor of at least 34 inch minimum and 38 inch maximum which is NOT ultra wide. I am now on a 27 inch 2k one. And going from 27 to 32 inch would not make much difference in what i am used to. I'd rather go to at least 34 inch with no ultra wide and preferably at least 165 hz.

[@Techspin]

Recently I realized that 32" is really the biggest I want to see for a 4K monitor, and I'd like 1440p monitors more at 27", but the 27" 1440p mons on the market tend to have poor brightness (nits) at this size. 32" seems to be the crucial size. Years back I used a 43“ 1080p for a PC monitor but you can see the individual pixels... We tested out a Gigabyte 48" 4K and it was beautiful but got in the way of everything. 😂

[@Techspin]

Might be a mis-seated graphics card? I'd try removing/reinstalling it, but that may not be the issue. Possibly a driver issue... or a power supply issue...? On that note, make sure your GPU has separate lines running from the PSU to each connector, you can't use the pigtail. If it only works without blanking when you're not playing media... I'm thinking trying to swap in a different cable or monitor (of the same resolution and hopefully Hz) to eliminate the cause. Hope you can figure this one out, sounds a bit challenging.

[@Techspin]

Answered in video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2bWo32udrmrf5Y So usually picture options being locked out happens when you enable HDR, and this monitor technically accepts HDR, but is dark, as we noted in the review. So you'll need to turn off HDR. HDR still causes me problems too, I was watching "The Continental: John Wick" on my Samsung TV and it was barely visible. With no options to disable HDR in either the player or the TV, I had to use a PC to watch it. HDR is okay on an HDR400 rated display, better on HDR600 and great on a HDR1000 display. If you want HDR, you'll need to budget more for that.

For the price, you can't get a better monitor or tv. I did abunch of research before buying. It has the same ratio as a normal 32 inch tv so that's nice. It has a clearer and better picture at 1440p than my old 4k tv did. I'm extremely happy. At Walmart you can get it for 188. I use affirm and am making 33 dollar payments for it monthly and you get accepted or denied instantly. If you do, you can pick it up that day even tho it's not payed off completely. Just make sure to make your payments on time, and the APR for payments is a $20 dollar charge overall. So it will be about 210 instead of 188. But making payments monthly that's not bad.

How do i change the monitor from 60hz to 120hz??? Please help

[@Techspin]

Answered in video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2bWo32udrmrf5Y Probably for console gaming, this depends on whether the console supports this monitor's native 1440p or lowered 1080p resolution for high-refresh rates. There's also the issue of PC video timing versus TV video timing which is not the same, meaning some monitors, like the Gigabyte G34WQC-A ultrawide, don't work with PS4. Always check console compatibility in reviews before you buy. For PC, you'd right-click on an empty desktop spot, click Display Settings and scroll down to Related Settings and click Advanced display. In the drop down box you can choose a refresh rate and Keep Changes. With HDMI or an old cable you may get a black screen, check out our 3 Mistakes to avoid with HDMI video for more help.

First you need to check that your resolution is set to 1440p. Next if you're not getting 165Hz, use a DisplayPort cable. In the Quick summary, we talk about the setting to minimize ghosting.

[@Techspin]

Check the nits (also called cm/m2) your old monitor can put out- this one does 300 with SDR content, not 350. Connected with HDMI? The monitor may be set to limited range 16-235 instead of full range 0-255. This only affects HDMI; the easiest solution or alternate test is hookup with a DisplayPort cable. And you may need to check color temputature, may set to Cool? Please subscribe, thanks for your support!

So i looked it up, my old monitor has 250 nits so not entirely sure. I got it a little brighter but its still not a bright but thank you very much

You using it for SDR, not HDR right? HDR darkens the screen as we detailed in the review.

[@botix5178]

Im using SDR, it was one of the reasons i found it dim at first b4 commenting here, then i found out that's after turning off HDR the brightness drops to 50%, So i had to up it to 100% again, I got the brightness pretty good now but colors still seem a little weird, changed it to 0-255, thank you for your help.

That's because it's a computer monitor and not a TV. Game consoles use TV HDMI timings which are very slightly different than PC HDMI timings. You'd think a PS5 should be able to hit different resolutions but let's not forget when PS4 allowed switching from 1080p to 4K that was a big deal. 😅

I have pentium g3240 with integrated graphics...should i upgrade to i3 or get a new graphics card just enough to run this resolution so that i can do multimedia stuff and not into gaming much..

[@Techspin]

Your Pentium g3240, released 2014, supports HDMI max resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz, DisplayPort 2560x1600@60Hz, and since 1440p is 2560x1440 this should work. However the motherboard needs to have DisplayPort onboard, but many boards didn't have this, only VGA/DVI/HDMI at that point. So probably an upgrade is needed. You could grab a i3-12100 and a MSI PRO H610M-G for example, that mobo has HDMI and DisplayPort so a bit of future proofing there, along with a huge speed boost by moving to a M.2 SSD for your windows drive. Total cost for CPU, board and M.2 around $300 or so. And the i3-12100 is roughly on par with an old top of the line 7700K, so you'll notice a huge leap in performance in applications. One note: Don't grab the i3-12100F, as it lacks an onboard iGPU. Please subscribe!

[@tiffgplu2590]

@@Techspin thanks for the detailed answer yes my motherboaed doesn't have a display port... Is DP better than Hdmi...I don't do gaming just video editing n conversion and primarily I do multimedia content... Also I was thinking of returning back the monitor and going for 27 inches since that's the sweet spot for 2k resolution.. Ppi of 108 Vs 93 in a 32 inch... Also I was figuring out Amd Ryzen cheaper than Intel and more performance oriented I am told.. And i wouldn't need a graphics card as onboard graphics is quite powerful. i have no idea never looked at AMD before but have heard good things about them for now and also price to performance factor. What do you suggest ??

[@Techspin]

DP can often deliver higher resolution or Hz at a given generation. 27" might work better for you if you like higher DPI. The reason we don't recommend AMD is that their CPUs generally don't have onboard graphics, no iGPU. There are some that do, but none of the mainstream ones, ie, easy to purchase/the models most consumers will be looking at, don't. And for a budget build, nothing beats the i3-12100 currently, make sure you get a board with DDR4 not DDR5. Because your use-case is for multimedia, the greatest gain will be a CPU/mobo upgrade, so even though a second hand GPU would solve the problem for now, the money spent on this would be better invested in upgrading your 8 year old CPU/mobo combo to current gen. Depends on what deals you can find in the second hand market in your area, but again, looking to the future and your use-case, a new i3-12100 is the way to go.

[@Techspin]

As we've mentioned before on the channel, HDR on Windows is still buggy and often doesn't work well. HDR does demand a higher output from your GPU though, so that could be contributing to these delay glitches, especially running at 165Hz which is over double the GPU power needed for 60Hz. There may be issues as windows tried to display HDR content also. Wishing you luck with troubleshooting. Please subscribe!

[@Techspin]

You need to make sure the unit has enough ventilation, so if it's in an enclosure or you have a towel or something sitting on top blocking vents, you need to remove that. A fan blowing over the area will help to move hot air away too. I'd probably go with your gut feeling if you've noticed your monitor is getting too hot, something may be wrong there. Usually we don't notice heat coming off a monitor so that may be a sign...

Thanks for the very detailed review. Could you (or someone) clarify what measurement 'pixel-to-air' refers to? Couldn't find anything about it.

[@Techspin]

This is measuring the black screen border and bezel together. A few years back we noticed some monitor manufacturers were claiming a product had an "ultra thin bezel" while not counting the large black screen border. While this might be fine for a single monitor setup, dual or multi monitor setups are becoming common for gaming and productivity. So if you're buying dual monitors, you need to know the exact gap between the two monitors. This would be pixel to air x2.
