Review Gigabyte M32UC Curved 4K Gaming Monitor Review: Snappy Gaming Performance And Premium Image Quality

[Admin]

Gigabyte breaks out of the me-too 4K genre with a 32-inch curved VA panel that overclocks to 160 Hz. It also sports Adaptive-Sync, HDR 400 and wide gamut color. And it’s a surprisingly good deal too.

You cannot have HDR without any type of local dimming.
Pretty much false advertisement and should make an instant no recommendation IMO.

HDR400? 🤮🤮🤮

I own the GigabyteM32U which RTratings names as the best 32-inch 4K mid-range gaming monitor with HDR 10, 144 Hz, and IPS for a year and a half now at $650 on Amazon. Going for VA and curved and the hokey HDR 400 sounds like a big step backward.

VESA DisplayHDR400 is not HDR - in my opinion.
I take Vesa DisplayHDR400 as a VESA definition of a good-non-HDR monitor for a base comparison to the other VESA DisplayHDR standards. It's a helpful marketing tool.

Really, VESA DisplayHDR500 is the lowest level of VESA DispayHDR - in my opinion.

I've been using a 27", 1080P, 8-bit, 60Hz monitor for the last 12 years. When I upgrade, it will probably be to a 32", 4k, 10-bit, 144Hz monitor, VESA Display500 (with NO speakers).

@truerock I recently got Dell G3223Q for $500 on black firday and I think it meets all your criterias.

Thanks... but, I don't think that monitor is VESA Display500.

It says it's VESA DisplayHDR™ 600. Is that not better than 500?
Or are you reffering to the lack of local dimming? In that case, yeah, it lacks.
Personally, I don't care about HDR. I have it disabled and brightness set to 0-10%, lol.
