Good review. Best thing about upping to 4k for me was the super sharp text, very beneficial for me since I spend all day using a PC and staring at text in some way or another.
Thanks John! 100% agree on that w the text. Feel like someone has cleared up my lenses and I can see so clearly. Definitely helpful if staring all day.
A very good review in my opinion, well done! Thanks ☺️👌🏻
Appreciate the support!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I just bought it yesterday from Amazon and it will arrive in Mexico in a few days. In my country there is no monitor with these characteristics. It's not cheap but it's not very expensive either, I think the cost benefit is fair. Greetings.
Same thoughts! Enjoy my friend.
Just bought for 599 on black friday. Waiting for it to arrive. Cheers boys!
Nice one 👍
After owning the M32U for a few days finally got the HDR set up decent on my Xbox Series X going by your reply on an HDR comment here saying that you have HDR enabled but only use 2 settings enabled local dimming on and light enhance set to 1. Everything else set to 0 or off. I'm so glad I've got the monitor set up now thanks.
Glad I could help. Appreciate the feedback and support!
Great video brother. Just ordered this monitor today because I’ve had a ps5 for almost a year now and the monitor I have right now isn’t allowing it to work to its full potential. I’ve wanted a better monitor for a while now but nothing on the market really caught my eye until this came out. I’m looking forward to the 1ms response time and the 144hz display. All the colors are going to be much more vibrant and I’m hoping it will take my gaming experience to the next level. Keep up the great content man!
Thanks Sam! Congrats! It definitely upgrades the gaming experience. The spider man games truely look next level in 4k 120hz
Awesome Video. I plan on buying this monitor for my PS5. This video really helped. Thanks 👊🏾👊🏾
Appreciate the support! Glad I was able to help as well. 120hz Spider-Man on PS5 is ridiculous! You’re in for something real nice. Enjoy!
@@lbs Thanks so much for the info. Just curious if you know how the Madden looks on there???
May I know Dell G3223Q, is it better or bad when compare with gigabyte 32” ?
Great Video!!!! For headset recommendation HyperX Cloud II Wireless - Gaming Headset for PC, PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch
Great video!
Nice review! Thank you!
Appreciate the positive words and support! You are welcome
Thanks for your review really helpfull :-)
Glad it was helpful and thanks for the feedback!
EDIT: I just finished the video & I'm sold. Thanks a ton man. :)
I'm in the same boat, but a few months later lol.
Got a Series X a while ago, and thought 120fps would just work on my 144hz monitor (1080p). Nah. Didn't know you needed HDMI 2.1 for that. I thought HDMI 2.0 would have it "just work" lol.
These Gigabyte monitors seem too good to be true (built in speaker too, but still for much cheaper than well known, trusted brands like MSI...) but damn the price looks good for what you get lmao.
Only a minute in but appreciate this review already. I'm in a very similar situation. :)
Appreciate the support and kind words. Just wanting to share what I learned and help others make the best decision, whether it is to get it or keep searching. Glad this was helpful!
Great video, thank you. This is on my shortlist. BTW, where can I get the Ironman wallpaper from, it's awesome!
Thanks! I appreciate you. I got it through the MyWallpaper app on the Mac
Great Video, I like your detailed descriptions and great camera work, this seems like an amazing monitor, i also like Samsung monitors
Appreciate the kind words. Yes they were on my list but usually end up being more expensive (also all my Samsung products seem to break quickly in some way...but awesome when they work). I may try them or LG in the future.
Спасибо мужик! Твой опыт помог мне определиться с этим монитором. Подписался.
I'll be upgrading my ViewSonic VX3211-2K-MHD 2K monitor to this Gigabyte M32U sometime this year, after I got the PS5 a couple of months back. I did a bunch of research and concluded that for the price range of €1,000 or less, the M32U is the best bang for buck monitor for the PS5 on the market. Thanks for making the video review, it helped while I was doing my research 😁
Enjoy! Thanks for the kind words! Glad I could help.
Is it good really thinking of buying one
@@augustjrgensen1933 yes I'm really enjoying it and can with great confidence recommend this monitor.
i got the m32uc curved version, i paid 550 CAD cash flat , AND I LOVE IT ! its blown me away so far. I use it for my ps5 and series x.
Nice to hear! Almost pulled the trigger on the curved version myself but it just didn’t fit into my set up currently.
Yep. Brand new. I have link in the desc. But you can likely check your local best buy or another tech retailer.
Bear in mind that the curved version is a fairly different monitor, as it has a VA panel instead.
One thing I'd like to add about Freesync/Gsync is that yes, it's a fantastic feature that really helps when frame drops occur in games, but it mostly works with GPU-related frame drops, that is to say when a game's frame rate drops because of too many graphical features. However, if the hitching/stutter is because of a CPU usage spike (very large crowds for example spawning too many threads and the game isn't suitably optimized for it), or if it occurs because of an engine-related problem like asset streaming in many Unreal Engine 4 games (you walk foward and the game stutters as new assets and shaders are loaded), then these are things that Freesync/Gsync DO NOT AFFECT.
Yes, they will automatically synchronize the frame rate to the refresh rate, but they do NOT eliminate stutters and hitches caused by factors outside of the GPU performance. I find that too many people think of this tech as a magic fix for all stutters, and it isn't.
Really appreciate the knowledge share!
@@lbs is this better than the LG32QG950???
It’s sucks . So thought G-Sync eliminates any stutters regardless of what causes it
Turtle beach 700 wireless headset; i rock with those for PS5. But they also have version for Xbox series x.
I highly recommend👍🏾.
Most definitely getting this monitor this week.
I def feel you on the settling part tho
I pulled the trigger on this monitor for Black Friday. Got it for $560 on Amazon. My 34" LG curved died and needed a good monitor for PC, Xbox Series X and work and this checked the boxes for all three. For the price I'm hoping this proves to be a slam dunk.
qc isn't good with this model i heard hopefully u get a good panel with no defects.
Hey man, I think the flickering might get fixed by enabling 4:2:2 subsampling in the Xbox display settings and keeping the color at 8-bit. The HDMI 2.1 on this monitor is only 24gbs not the full 48gbs of true HDMI 2.1. The Xbox uses display stream compressing to achieve the 4K at 120hz on this limited bandwidth so setting those settings will probably help. The PS5 does not support dsc so it subsamples to 4:2:0 which means that you are only getting 2 colors per pixel instead of the 8 colors per pixel of the full 4:4:4 supported by a true 48gbs HDMI 2.1, It sucks that not all HDMI 2.1 are the same but can’t really do anything about it. However the Display port on this thing will support the full signal the monitor is capable of. Hope this helped man 👍
I appreciate you & the suggestions! I'll have to take a look and see if that is the case. I haven't been getting any flickering for a good while, but still worth looking into for a future fix.
Which monitor you recommend for PS5?
Bruh i dont normally sub but form one black man to another you deserve this
Thanks bro! I appreciate you. We need more of this love. ✊🏾
I picked up this monitor. I updated its firmware but with a PC. It’s good value but I miss OLED blacks, contrast, HDR (the M32U is connected to my PC only while I use my OLED TV for console gaming). It also developed a stuck/dead green subpixel after a couple of weeks (a minor annoyance). I consider it a decent bridge monitor until finally a 32” 4K gaming OLED arrives. The 42” C2 is still too large, and the AW3423DW is an ultrawide, and I’m simply incompatible with the format (recently sold the 34GN850). I’m considering the Neo G7 but I’m a bit afraid of QC issues and the 1000R curve… Edit: oh, and I’m not paying 4k bucks for the PG32UQX (it’s so pricy here in Poland), it’s simply not worth so much money with its blooming and slowish panel.
I hear you with the blacks on an OLED! I've considered (still may do it) a similar set up and just having an OLED for consuming content, and slower refresh-heavy games. With the way that I use my monitor, I’m pretty sure I would burn an OLED pretty quickly. But a dedicated optimized OLED gaming monitor would definitely be next level, and something I might have to pick up just to play games on. Hope we see something accessible on this front soon
Buenas, estamos em las mismas, recien actualize mi pc con una 1060 por una 3070 y viendo que me tiraba bien en 4k con dlss y en otros sin el, pille un monitor 2k 27 pulgadas( yo en este caso vengo de un ultrawide 29 75hz y me encantaba, hasta que probe la qled en el salon, y eso que no es oled, pero el contraste se nota y eso que es va 4k pulgadas, total el monitor 2k lo descambie porque 27 pulgadas me parecian pocas y era el g5 ips y se veia la verdad que muy bien pero yo rallado porque no era ancho la verdad estoi acostumbrado al uw, y tampoco note mucha diferencia con el 2k(ahora lo pienso y me conformo , creo sin pasar de las 27 pulgadas, maximo 4 pulgadas uw que realmente es lo que quiero pero porbe un new skill va curvo de 34 y era desastroso y lo descambie, en fin llevaba 2 monitores y no me decantaba, pille el m28u porque el m32u era muy caro y el m34wq ya me parecia que 2k era poco y vale 500euros, pues lo pedi y super contento pero un poco mosca por los juegos de coches con el volante las verdad preferia el de 29 que tengo aun antiguo de 75hz que tampoco es tan poco, total el de 28 me tenia enamorado 4k y muchos hz para depende el juego aprobecharlo o no, pero los negros no se veian bien y jugando con mi ovia nos sentamos en el sofa frente al monitor por la noche y las zonas oscuras en juegos rpg... no me molaban mucho,,, lo descambie con mi pesar, no se que pedir... he pedido el m32uc y para mi sorpresa a mi que soi de ips y no me gusgan VA me ha encantado, se ven los colores como esperaba vivos y con mucho color y no fatal como recordaba del new skill, aqui estoi probandolo, me mola bastante, pero tiene algunas franjas negras, he pedido el lg oled c2 y comparare cual quedarme, el lg no se si sera muy grande pero podria ponerlo en pantalla mas pequeña y por el precio 800 y el moitor 622, por 180 euros tengo oled y mas pulgadas, que realmente no necesito
Thank you for the great review. Considering this monitor over the Sony Inzone M9 and Samsung Odyssey G7 in the 27inch size. Just wondering if you ever updated it and if it removed the flickering?
Glad I could help! Flickering stopped and I never updated it (probably still should get that done)
Just ordered mine on Newegg. Got it for $650! 😁
Awesome review! Did you consider Dell G3223Q?
Thanks! I did not. It was released after I had picked up this monitor. But, it looks like a solid alternative. Have you picked one up?
Just ordered the 28 inch model of this monitor.
Hey mate, definitely a great review of this monitor. Can you please tell me what your picture settings are? Cheers
Sure thing! Also, want to not that I have a M1 Mac mini & Xbox X connected to this monitor. So your set up may vary.
I utilize a custom picture profile with the following settings:
Brightness = 50
Contrast = 50
6 axis color = R-Saturation
Color vibrance = 10
Sharpness = 2
Gamma = 2.2
Color temp = User defined R(91) G(92) B(100)
DCR = off
Local dimming = off
Hope this helps!
@@lbs Thanks so much
Nice review, I'm looking for a 32 inch 4k 144hz monitor too. How about eyestrain when using the M32U, do you feel any flicker at all? Thanks.
Great question. I don't feel any additional eyestrain vs my 1080p 32 in. Plus my blue light help a ton when on these screens for hours
I bought the 1440P version of this monitor AKA the M32Q and returned it within a day because it had a stuck pixel. Shame because it really was a nice monitor but once you see a flaw you can't unsee it. I am not willing to play the panel lottery so I will hold out for something else.
Yea. You never know what’s going to come out these boxes and why I recommend getting anything like this at a b&m so it’s easy to return/exchange. Glad you didn’t get stuck with it. If you can wait, you’re probably going to get something far superior at a cheaper price in the coming months/years
I'm in the same boat as you, I went for this monitor as well work/xbox/streaming, 43" would have been too much. Do you use HDR?
They just released a curved monitor version the M32UC.
Can't you connect your phone to the monitor if you don't have a pc? I had a G5 Odessy for a short period, it just needed the fireware file placed on a usb, you can do that with your phone if you have the right cable.
I am using HDR. Thanks! Will have to look into the phone updating suggestion. Would be super helpful if possible
Dude is looking ripped!!! :-D
I recently bought a PS5 and I was told to get a 4K120HZ TV to get the full experience. I got the TCL R646 and I love it truly. The only issue is that i’m a PC gamer and love gaming on my desk set up instead of a couch/bed.
Should I return the TCL R646 and get a 27” 4K120HZ monitor if so which one? (Gigabyte M28U or Samsung Odyssey G7) My thought is I could switch from playing on PC to gaming on the PS5 or do both while chatting with friends through discord. Ease of use.
Or should I swallow my pride and just keep the TCL and forget about the monitor. Realistically I truly don’t see myself playing any FPS on the PS5 for now. (I played the COD beta & it was awesome on the PS5 but my controller days are behind me) The PS5 will be more for NBA2K23 and Madden 23 & single player games.
Games like COD, Fortnite, Apex, Warzone will continue to be played on a PC.
Great question! I think I’d you’re happy with your current experience with your TCL, then you should keep it. Also, if you’re not planning to do any FPS games, then the slower response rate of a TV versus a monitor is not going to matter much. And as you said, you probably won’t be playing any FPS soon, you might… So I would still suggest keeping the TV and maybe saving up for a monitor in the future (they will likely be cheaper by then) if you decide to start playing more FPS games. If you still think you don’t wanna play FPS games at that point, then you have a nice little savings to go spend/invest in something else.
Hey bro i just bought the same monitor M32U two months ago.I bought a m28U in last year november.I didnot have any problem before but now i'm facing 2 problems in M32U.For HDMI cable when i play a game for 2-3 hours then turn off pc and then i restart it it shows HDMI no signal.And for Display port when i'm switiching off ceiling fan or using regulator to turn up or down the speed of ceiling fan the display just goes away for 1 second and comes back(Flickering).Did you have any problem?I'm at a loss here.Any help is appreciated.
Oh man. I have not had any of those issues. What happens when you change the cords/connectors? If your other worked fine, doesn't sound like you house wiring. 🤷🏾♂️ Have you reached out to Gigabyte. Hopefully it's not a lemon you need to swap
Damn bro those 💪
😂 🙏🏾
great review,
can i connect an 'audio interface' to the 'usb-c port'?
I’m not completely sure, but I would think that it would be more possible than not. maybe someone else here has tried it, and knows for sure. And thank you!
Have you installed the latest firmware F11? Wondering if the latest updates have made anything better. I know one of them gave it +200 brightness nits
Actually still need to hit a firmware update. But it's running flawless for me these days.
So I got this yesterday . Cost 860$ at micro center . As someone that played games on 55” tv with 15 ms response time for years , I got to experience 120hz and oh my god it’s more than what I expected . It’s amaZing . I found that I can do 4k 12o however to experience the smoothest butteriest experience do 1440 p . Anyone reading this play 120 hz (fps) . It will blow your mind . Literally
Maybe one day…
Sorry to informed you
You got ripped off
I'm buying the m32uc, did you ever find a way to update without a PC? Been a while since you uploaded this, not sure if not having a PC is still an issue in that regard. Thanks
I ended up getting a cheap refurbished surface tablet (for other reasons) and that’s how I was able to update it and that was a couple months ago. However, it still ran fine for me and I only updated the firmware because I could now. Just make sure you have a way to update in case something major is off w/ yours due to firmware.
@@lbs right on, appreciate it
Just purchased the m32u and am very happy with it. But recently I noticed something strange. After turning off or going into sleep mode, the monitor makes a clicking/ticking noise at the bottom of it. They can be heard in a quiet room if you listen closely or at arm's length. I haven’t found enough information on this on the Internet and it’s unclear whether this is normal or not. This worries me, because I am afraid that this may indicate a problem with the hardware and I will need to go and return the monitor, and also these sounds are very annoying and I need to constantly turn off the monitor completely. Do you have the same problem in this monitor?
I recommend that you exchange your monitor. I don’t have this clicking noise and you shouldn’t either.
@@lbs thank you, you really helped me
Yo LB I have a ps5 and a 1k budget I’m wondering should I get a monitor or tv made for gaming would love some suggestions please 🙏 also do you still own this and any flickering.?
Great question! To keep things simple… I think it really depends on the games you play, and your set up/desired set up for the future. If you’re playing a lot of fast paced games, a monitor with high refresh is likely the best way to go. But if you’re more casual and enjoying slower paced/story games and like the presentation on a large screen, then a TV would probably be the better way to go.
@@lbs ok dude
Oh and flickering hasn't happened to me since around the first month or so of owning this monitor. Might have been a connection on my end.
Buy the original Sony pulse 3D headset really great audio and battery life look and feel great bass to. + u can use the PS5 built in equalizer to perfectly calibrate ur audio with 6 different profiles.
I am torn with the current sale … this monitor or the LG 32GQ950-B for pc gaming and mbp use
Sorry for the late reply, but great question! Which did you end up getting? I don't have any experience with this monitor in particular, but I know LG can make some pretty solid monitors and TVs. These 2 both look comparable & I don't think that you could go wrong with either, but again I haven't tried their monitor. Wish I could be of more help but maybe someone else here has some hands on experience w/ this monitor...or maybe you do now?
Actually, I take that back. The LG supports full 48gbps for HDMI 2.1, but w/ compression being used in the Gigabyte and the xbox supporting only up to 40gbps, I don't think much difference will be seeing in the image quality. But LG could be the better future proof monitor if the $$ is worth that to you.
Is it possible to connect an external speakers via aux port provided on the monitor ?
I haven't tried it but I don't see a reason that wouldn't work as it does w/ other Aux ports.
headset recommendation...Epos H6PRO open back!!!
Appreciate you! Will check them out.
Bought this monitor from Amazon and returned it. Mainly because of the humming noise whenever the brightness is below 80. When the brightness is over 80, my eyes get fatigue. There is definitely quality control issue. I ended up getting MSI MPG321UR-QD, it's more expensive than M32U, but the colour pops more and the build quality is much better.
Yea I would’ve done the same! I thought I would encounter a q/a issue from going w a “lower cost” option, but ended working out the inverse for me. Glad you got something you love!
Would you prefer 28 inch or 32 inch for 4k?
I like the 32, but that's just my personal preference. I would likely be happy w/ either as they both provide solid screen real estate, it's just easier to sit closer to the 28 inch and still be able to see the entire screen. The pixels will be more condensed on the 28 as well, so there might be a slight improvement noticed in the image.
i bought a “used - acceptable” condition one from amazon and it came brand new with plastics still on it and all cables. no scratches dents or anything.
Paid 400 dollars
That’s huge! Well done!
Did the same thing for 391$ soooo worth it.
I recently got my hands on this monitor, but I have some problem with enabling Freesync and geting 120hz while playing Ps5. When I open settings on The monitor it shows only 60Hz and Freesync off even through I change my settings on my Ps5 to performance mode and 120hz. Does anyone have any clue about this issue that om facing?
Congrats! Think I recall having a similar issue. I would suggest confirming you have a HDMI 2.1 cable and that you have the 2.1 option selected with in settings on the monitor (settings > system > other settings > HDMI version). It's also possible that the version of the game isn't optimized to run at 4K 120, or you need to toggle on that setting within the options of the game itself. Hope this helps & you get this figured out soon.
offtop: what is this star projector in the background? :D
😂😂... it's called a Sky Lite. amzn.to/3cuFI0R
yo bro and is it good for the xbox serie x? the games in 60 hz and 120 there is no tearing of image?
Yep! This works perfect w my series x and ps5
@@lbs why can't I check 50 hz mode on this screen while 24 hz is checked in the settings of my xbox series x?
I bought the m28u why can't I check the 50hz in the xbox settings while the 24hz is well checked
When I start my Playstation, there is sporadically no picture. .Even if I select HDMI1, nothing happens at first. It only helps when I switch to HDMI2 and back to HDMI1. Is anyone having the same problem?
I have not seen this. Has their CS been any help in the matter? Could it be the HDMI cord?
id this alright for Ps5? or should i get the Sony m9 monitor?
so confused 😫
Works great w my PS5! Can't speak to the inzone as I've never played on 1
@@lbs thanks alot
then i’ll go with this
that m9 is too expensive
The Inzone M9 is absolutely a better monitor, especially for HDR. It also costs significantly more than the Gigabyte.
im mostly single player guy right now rarely i play a competitive multiplayer game like cod halo and fornite as right now i only play story mode of game and i dont know if this monitor for me im mostly looking monitor produce amazing color accuracy and 4k run smootlhy and look amazing when im passing a story in game and you know looking around while passing story to impress me while doing it !
Yea, I agree. If you’re not doing anything fast paced, the higher refresh is not as important. There are other great value 4k monitors out there for you. Or even playing on a nice surround sound TV setup can be fun! It is for me w story games.
@@lbs what about 28u of gigabyte that one price is lower plus tv i have play in theres always something off and they are bigger cant fit it in my room
@@lbs also multiple people told me on a facebook forums on how monitor looks bad and run bad and tech fail and customer support is bad whats you experience in all that ?
My experience is still great w/ the monitor. I've heard things on both sides for the spectrum, where Gigabyte products are often a hit or a miss for users. Not many were in between. The biggest complaints I've heard over the years relate to the Q/A of their products where people sometimes get lemons w/ purchasing brand new. But I expect this being a possibility w/ any manufacturer & why I suggest grabbing this or any other major product from a reputable dealer/B&M store near you. This will make returns & exchanges way easier & cost effective. Like I said, my experience has been great, but that may not be the case for you/others depending on what you want out of your monitor & the QA related to your specific device. I say, if this seems like the monitor for you, try it out by getting it from a store near you, maybe try it against another your comparing it against, & return/exchange the 1 you like best. The decision will be best made by your own experience. Hope this helps!
@@GubiYoroi2 28in is actually a great size for a monitor (for all purposes-gaming/work/casual) in my opinion. If these specs woke for you, I suggest giving that size a go in a smaller room.
Do you have AMD free sync set on, on your M32u
Yep
i have nvidia rtx 4070 ti will it run 4k with this monitor above 100 fps?
Doesn't appear it can
I got this new half off, for the price i got it its way worth it!
That's a hell of a deal!! Totally agreed we that value assessment. Happy for you.
I have the Gigabyte M32UC. Do you have HDR on or off? Im just wondering since this is HDR 400. I use SDR at the moment but people are so divided about this. What do you recommend? I mainly use the monitor for PS5. Thanks!
I do. However, as it is base level HDR, I am not sure how much of a difference it truly makes. I definitely recommend testing each out for yourself as SDR may be a better fit for you. Also, if you’re wondering, I have my HDR set with only 2 settings enabled, local dimming on and light enhance set to 1. Everything else is set to 0 or off. Hope this helps.
@@lbs Thanks!! I will try
@lbs just tried HDR on Xbox Series X enabled with just your 2 settings and mine now looks decent cheers 👍
Is this better than the gigabyte m270q-x??
That might be a solid monitor but kind of a different class as it 1440. Probably very solid in the PC gaming space. The main feature/difference of the M32U & core of my review was that it is 4k 120hz & supports HDMI 2.1 to allow next gen consoles to max out.
Question…is it good for Xbox series x?
Yep! That’s mainly what I game on and got it for
Does this monitor support VRR and ALLM on Ps5?
Yes
Is this monitor great for ps5 and Xbox X gaming.
Yes! These 2 are why I got it
@@lbs nice
U didn't mention that the hdmi 2.1 isn't full 48gb bandwidth
Great point to add! Totally missed it. However, it's worth noting that it has "display stream compression" which allows it to maximize more bandwidth beyond that (this is also the case w/ some other competitors). So there really is much difference when in use. Especially for gaming and next gen consoles as PS5 maxes at 32 gbs and Xbox at 40 gbs. Thanks again for highlighting this!
I’m glad you cleared this up because in other reviews they say they would avoid this for ps5 for the bandwidth reason so I was very close to swapping mine and buying the Samsung g7 ls28
Very good review and now I know I have to sell my kidney to buy it unless someone buys it for me 😂 afternoon dreams
🤣🤣🤣 Appreciate you!
Does vrr work on this ( ps5) thank u!
Yes.
Damn you need a PC to update the firmware?! I might have to return
I totally get that decision. Hasn't been an issue for me yet, but planning to get a Gaming PC, so I'll be fine eventually. If something gets weird, I'll just hit up a friend w/ a PC for an update. What monitor you eyeing instead?
@@lbs I actually just broke down at got the M32U. If I need seriously need an update I’ll just cop a super cheap PC 😂
Does this got a headphone jack?!
yep
M28u vs m32 same but different size ?
Yes, it seems that way. I haven't personally tested 28, but I'm told the 32 has slightly better response times & overdrive capabilities. You would probably be fine w/ either though as it sounds like differences are subtle.
@@lbs thank u 🙏
Can anyone get the monitor to 120hz? I have checked the settings and I can only get it to 60 Hz on console
Which console? It might be a matter of using an HDMI 2.1 table or adjusting the settings on the console to be 120 Hz.
@@lbs I have figured it out. I already have the correct hdmi and went into settings on the console. I did not realise that you should also turn it on, inside the game itself in settings before it runs on 120hz
🙌🏾 I hear you. I basically had the same experience
Do you have an optimized setting for the PS5?
How so? Colors were solid out of box for me but I slightly color corrected and it looks great still. As for optimized for 120hz and such on PS5, that's done through the PS5 and game of choice settings.
I caught nukes in cod on 60hz. I switched to 120hz and it’s just whatever to be honest. It’s cool tho. The 4k is more dope to me to be honest
Yea, the 4k is what does it for me too
@@lbs man I just went back to 60hz this week and you can def tell the difference lol the 120hz spoiled me I guess. Can’t keep up with crossplay on 60hz.

and DONT use hmdi 2.1 for gaming on a PC use DP... leave the hmdi for consoles... so much bad info little bro. if you dont know leave it out of the video... just give your opinion of what the monitor is like for you and what you like and dont like... not this im going to info drop about stuff I have no idea about...
So you said yourself "likely," confirming you didn't know my situation, but in the same instance you say "not to comment on things you don't know." Also, not sure how saying I was getting flickering issues is commenting on something I didn't know? Anyway, I hope whatever is rough going on in your life gets better and maybe you choose to bring others up.
@@lbs wtf you on little bro?
i said likely for the flickering comment. not the one about using hdmi 2.1...
second as I said in the comment above. if you dont know leave it out you gave so much bad info here that you are just spreading bad info the blind leading the blind... just give your two cents and leave it at that. no one care here to see what the info front was if they wanted it they would of googled it. they came here to see how some one who has the product feels about the product...
little bro.
yeah i hope you do find something to make you happy as all this fake news up in here is a serous cry for attention
@@lbs Some people are so ignorant eh, whats his problem?
$1000 monitor shouldn't have any flicker...
Agreed. I think it is more user error and something I need to figure out though. But I haven't seen it of late, so we're good.
you are more then likely having the flickering because you are running 4k at 144hz on console when this monitor is only rated at 4k 120hz for console. this is the data having missing data. easy fix.
Yeah, the monitor isn't running at 144hz.
This is a 160hz monitor
It's not
@lbs yes it is. It has built in oc...
Im literally lookint at it now. Let me know if you cabt find he setting on the monitor and ill make a vid

I hoy it for 250$
BTW you never want a 4k 27 inch monitor.
why's that?
@@lbs because its too compressed, most competitive gamers will tell you the same thing.
What does "too compressed" mean?
El m32uc es mejor
That monitor for a garbage game?
What’s it like on a Gaming PC, with a 30 series GPU?
I don’t yet have a PC, but I’m sure someone here in the comments can share their experience.
