I think it is real great these tech channels keep testing the newegg open box products. It was super easy for newegg to put out some press release and take all RMAs for a while. But they got to the point they were by dumping quality standards, history easily repeats itself. Thanks for keeping newegg honest.
Newegg fucking blows.. they take stuff people send back and then you get it and it’s broke and when you send it back (the warranty doesn’t work) cause it’s open box or they decline it.. fuck that. Spend the extra 100-150 and buy the monitor new with full warranty from micro center where no questions are ever asked and they exchange or actually send things to get fixed when they are broke u set warranty
I own this monitor,have for months, and was able to get rid of my laptop dock altogether. The usb-c does do trickle charging but I normally just plug my laptop charger in anyways. The monitor itself works great, and 97% of the time the KVM works well. The other 3% of the time, I just power cycle the monitor and it's fine again.
I own this monitor, and can attest that it is a great monitor. 32" is the new 27" in my opinion. I haven't jockeyed with the OSD too much...and it was beautiful before I made tweaks to contrast, brightness, etc. Yes, $800 is a lot...but figure that price out over years of use. This monitor will serve well for years.
Thanks for the review, got the monitor at a nice price during a black friday event. I've been trying to mess with the manual calibration options and I'm probably failing horribly. Would you mind sharing your manual calibration settings (if you still have them) so I can try those?
I just bought this open box tonight and i came to see some reviews lol. Ive never had issue with newegg open box but i was a tad worried about the latest drama.
Lots of great deals on open box stuff. I got a great acer predator x38 a year or so back for half price and only realized that the speakers didn't work and were loose inside after I had it upside down to move houses. Unfortunately acer was not helpful so I just have to be wary not to let that speaker bang around in there.
11:26 Editor, you could have inserted a insect meme right around here. Side note, thanks for talking about that KVM Wendell. I just got the LG 28mq780-b, it has a very similar KVM where it works with the USB-B and the type C as well. I'm doing research to see if there is such a thing as a type c to displayport cable that can go from the type C port in the monitor to DisplayPort in a computer/graphics card. I'm thinking there isn't one, and I'm reluctant to spend time and $44 to find out if there is.
I've had the monitor for almost a year. it's great other than the random black screen. I think it has something to do with frame limiter + gsync or vsync.
This size format with a qd-oled, then probably I'd be very tempted to buy a new monitor. The ultra wide format is really not for me, not to mention the price tag
Got my son the Aorus version of that monitor overall very happy with it, got a few more convenience features for an extra $50. Definitely not a bright room monitor. Can confirm the dsc works better on AMD than Nvidia. Hdmi 2.1 at half bandwidth was a bit of a let down, but still works on his PS5.
The KVM on the M32U sucks. I am always having issues. If I don't have my Laptop turned on, the USBs do not work. So on weekends I still have to turn on my work laptop in order to use my desktop. Kinda stupid if you ask me and makes no since. Just bought a Level1 Tech KVM today and hope that does way better.
Power cable for the PSU is the one cable you don't want missing. I had PSUs that wouldn't start or work reliably with a different power cable. The PSU power cables I had were heavier and the connector fits snuggly into the socket.
FI32U here, the more expensive yet almost identical sibling to this guy! Pretty happy with it, though I now think a bit bigger would be better, maybe 36-38" 4k, to get away from using Windows scaling 🤢
@@Level1Techs oh my, assuming that's the 42" one, that's still a huge difference in size of text! I can't do 100% on the 32", my eyes can't take that for all day work, even at 125% I struggle a little sometimes.
@@HOkayson I'm using a 43 inch/4k, LG 43UN700B attached to a monitor arm. NO regrets! So much space for tiling windows. If i'm reading, writing code or what have you I'll tweak the scaling sometimes if I'm tired. My only issue is my graphics card. I need some more GPU muscle to push pixels for gaming. (Even though its not a gaming display, I like to occasionally partake in a game or two). Just got make sure there's enough distance from your face and the screen. =)
nice, $500 open box like that is great. rare to find that. Amazon $640 "renewed" and M28U is over $500 so yeah. Pricey at $729 new, I see $525 with defects... like less than 5 pixels...
I am out of the monitor market. I have a ROG 27" 165hz 1440p IPS which works really well. When I upgraded my 48" SAMSUNG 4k TV to the Hisense 55U8G ($600 at Amazon), watching movies via Amazon Prime the upgrade was amazing. I plugged my PC into it and my ROG is back in its box. Yes, you really need a wall mount and soundbar (darn few TVs don't), but dang it sure is pretty. I do not have ANY of the tools you use for testing, just my eyes, mouse and keyboard. My eyes noticed the upgrade between the ASUS and SAMSUNG and the 55U8G. For current price of $600 (I got on sale about 8 months ago for $800), I think it is well worth looking at. P.S. Upcoming 2022 high end models are "supposed to have" mini-led and ATSC 3.0, so for me, a likely upgrade for my 65" SONY Bravia. Yes, I know, it's a TV not a monitor. $600 for 55" 4K TV which for me, works great as a monitor as well, I think price to performance should be considered.
Bought it new, can't wait. Coming from a 1080p 144hz 5 year old monitor that was running an RX 580. It's now running a 6900XT until this one is delivered! :-D
Does anyone know if the 28 version is the same or worse in certain aspects? I’d be fine with a smaller screen unless the specs are sub par in comparison
According to Rtings the M32U is a little bit better but here in Germany the M32U is ca like 300 more than the M28U. I have the M32U for the PS5 and I think games are incredible on it. I liked the display out of the box but maybe it's different from unit to unit.
@@flockelocke2297 thanks for the reply I actually ended up going with the 28 version and happy with it. The 28 seems HUGE on my set up I think the 32 might be too big for how close I have the screen to my face. I’m sure it looks amazing I also got the monitor for a ps5 let’s go PlayStation gang 😈
@@ejj9956 yeah, I was playing on 27 and 28 before and it was really huge, so that I need to go back with my chair. 😄 I bought it in 2021 and I think I only try another monitor if Gigabyte brings an update of these models with oled or oleds come at a more reasonable price or generally more oled models are in the range between 28 and 32.
If you use this monitor for your ps5 get a 8k hdmi 2.1 to display port so you get 48gbps instead of 24gbps on the hdmi 2.1 port. I noticed the difference right away in fps games
@@marsone5023 I saw it on a few TH-cam videos. And I plugged my desktop in both the DP and the HDMI 2.1 port. And It showed the difference in the desktop display settings. You might notice it in fps games in the reds. It's not significantly noticeable now that I have to use the HDMI 2.1 for the ps5 bc I need the display port for the PC and I have chromecast in the other HDMI port. You'll be fine. You're not going to miss out. I just fell for the hype. But it's always great to have more than one option. Also my friend bought this monitor out of my recommendation and he said he prefers Playing his ps3 on this monitor. He says it crisps up the 1080 resolution. I haven't confirmed it but it's worth a try.
I'm on my 3rd M32U, in 3 months the quality control doesn't seem great. Also, the included display port cable/HDMI were of such low quality that it wouldn't work with the display at 4k 144 Hz. I find it annoying to use as well, it constantly resets when anything goes full screen ect
Definitely a nice 4K monitor 🥰👍but the QC issues have been l commented by man6 everywhere …. Including here in the comments which means that Gigabyte either don’t do the QC stated or their OEM is not doin* there job and gigabyte don’t really care 🤯😡. I personally use a few Aorus motherboards and they’re quality is terrific and built like a tank 🥰👍
I have this monitor but once I plugged in Dp Port 1.4 vesa certified top of the line cable and play at 120hz with gsync and the monitor freesync it starts flickering black screen and if I'm using the HDMI 2.1 and play at 120hz it didn't flicker at all, im using it on my PC with RTX 3090 tuf oc... Anyone have the same issue please help...
12:40 Talking about 144hz. I personally am not a fan of 144hz anyways. If you have a game or other content that is locked to or natively 60fps then 144hz doesn't mesh with that. FreeSync can help but I'm 99.9% sure that only works if that content is full screen and it won't always be (60fps videos for example).
You can set the monitor to 120Hz like he said and things will go smoothly. I need At least 120Hz for video editing since I will be editing some action videos that can be at least 120fps or more and unfortunately the TWO 4k monitors I could find that are exactly 120Hz aren't that good, not even supported anymore and are stuck at 27 inches (both from Acer ConceptD series). I read many reviews about the ConceptD 4k panels and there are too many issues with dead pixels and other things that discouraged me from choosing one. Not to mention that they are no longer for sale on Acer's website store. I need a 30+ inch 4k monitor with a wide color gamut, 120Hz, fast enough response time for games and full bandwidth HDMI 2.1. I like Gigabyte and have had the M27Q which I liked but their current 4K options aren't what I need for my next build.
Great monitor, but having seen the early offerings of new 4k monitors the next 24 months is going to change the entire category in a drastic way. I'll be waiting for the next phase of products, something with 1000+ nits peak brightness, 4k, sub 4ms response with 98%+ AdobeRGB, I already have a great 165hz 32" 1440p monitor, if I upgrade its got to be a big generational change.
> I'll be waiting for the next phase of products You could keep doing this forever and never making a purchase. At some point you need to buy something.
@@tehklevster not really, hardly at some point "he'll just need to buy something" apart from the possibility his current monitor fails. More importantly, the rate of innovation is not usually constant. It does make sense to wait for the next spike of it sometimes
@@tehklevster No, I am literally waiting for something specific, when it comes out, I will buy it. Then the next big upgrade will be whatever gen 2 or 3 QD Oled with 8k+ etc. What I don't want to do is spend a lot of time moving from monitor to monitor because one of my requirements is met by it, I'll just wait until all of them are.
As long as you do not think 4k means category. 4k in monitors is not actually something you want for monitors. You already have the target for 32" and nothing will really be an upgrade. Just a lateral step in size, contrast, aspect-ratio.
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 ...
Apparently Newegg doesn't know "open box" means opened, then returned. Possibly lacking accessories, cables, manual, etc. Any _damage_ whatsoever, marring, scratches, scuffs, etc., qualifies as used or scratch and dent, not open box. It sure looks like they haven't changed anything whatsoever over there. Thankfully it works at least, unlike Steve's motherboard.
I like this monitor and certainly good for some workstations. I ended with LG instead because 4x dynamic inputs > KVM. This one was a better choice for less VFIO and testing.
@@Ziggurat1 43UD79-B I got it at a clearance sale. The ability to have mixing of multiple inputs was crucial to me at the time. I would go for the gigabyte VA/IPS today. Or wait for a cheaper oleds later. Remember that it will be always cheaper to get a 2 dumb monitors and arms and if you are chasing price find a good TV. The effort is usually worth it.
I just bought the Curved one from new egg I guess I didn't even check if it was brand new or used or anything but I'm sure it was a brand-new I'll check the receipt again and honesty has been doing good for me I got 21 kills on resurgence and my K/D is at 2.04 up from 1.90 I like it a lot!!!! Last time I bought the 27"Gigabyte monitor from Best Buy I still have it I like it because both do 120fps on PS5 but this New Gigabyte Curved monitor is 4k and HDMI 2.1 and I never knew anything about fps or anything of this until last year dam I been missing out
Amazing monitor, but I wish Apple played better with monitors that aren't branded Apple. As a dev that uses macOS and also enjoys gaming on Windows, this is madly annoying.
I'm surprised the 5700g can drive 4K 144hz. My b550 mobo is only rated for up to 4k 60hz (despite having HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4) and I assumed it was a bottleneck with the Vega iGPUs. Granted, I'm not Warren Buffett so the highest I've tried on my 5700g with the mobo is 2 4k60 displays and an old CRT over VGA.
@@z00h TH-cam just notified me about your reply. And yeah I'm aware of PPI and scaling. I also personally had a 27" 1440p monitor and the icons were still a bit small for me. Apple has their 27" monitor in 4k so the icons are likely even smaller due to over double the pixels of 1440p but hey if it works for you go for it. Just sharing my opinion. Good day to you.

would you recommend a curved screen or a flat screen for gaming & working?
A quick question then; which monitor would you recommend for photography editing with nice black representation?
Who edits these videos, I appreciate the little touches they did.
How does this compare to the Acer XB323 QKNV 4k 144hz display? The one you tested.
Do you know the size of the bottom part of stand? (The support bit)
I damn near got the 27"; but I selected a proart for production
Is this better than the Gigabyte m32uc (curved) model? I can't seem to find any comparisons on TH-cam.
hello sir, can it be used for 3d rendering and modeling

Hi, did you see M32UC?? it has 3000:1 CONTRAS and VA, is it better than IPS 1000:1??
Does it support audio over usb c?
I couldn't find where to download the color profile of this monitor. :(
what about the qhd m32q one same type of panel etc. just different resolution ?
The dp cable that comes with it is 1.4?
That powercord with the middle contact a littlebit unaligned with the other 2 its the one used in Brasil.

Then the next big upgrade will be whatever gen 2 or 3 QD Oled with 8k+ etc. What I don't want to do is spend a lot of time moving from monitor to monitor because one of my requirements is met by it, I'll just wait until all of them are.
As long as you do not think 4k means category. 4k in monitors is not actually something you want for monitors. You already have the target for 32" and nothing will really be an upgrade. Just a lateral step in size, contrast, aspect-ratio.
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 ...
My vote is for 4k in 27".
Apparently Newegg doesn't know "open box" means opened, then returned. Possibly lacking accessories, cables, manual, etc. Any _damage_ whatsoever, marring, scratches, scuffs, etc., qualifies as used or scratch and dent, not open box. It sure looks like they haven't changed anything whatsoever over there. Thankfully it works at least, unlike Steve's motherboard.
Test 65"TVs as monitors
NOw I just have to rob-a-bank or sell a kidney or two to get one.
I like this monitor and certainly good for some workstations. I ended with LG instead because 4x dynamic inputs > KVM. This one was a better choice for less VFIO and testing.
What LG monitor?
@@Ziggurat1 43UD79-B I got it at a clearance sale. The ability to have mixing of multiple inputs was crucial to me at the time. I would go for the gigabyte VA/IPS today. Or wait for a cheaper oleds later. Remember that it will be always cheaper to get a 2 dumb monitors and arms and if you are chasing price find a good TV. The effort is usually worth it.
10bit, or you can keep it. 👍
Just picked up this gem new at 629 USD
How is it so far? Any issues?
I just bought the Curved one from new egg I guess I didn't even check if it was brand new or used or anything but I'm sure it was a brand-new I'll check the receipt again and honesty has been doing good for me I got 21 kills on resurgence and my K/D is at 2.04 up from 1.90 I like it a lot!!!! Last time I bought the 27"Gigabyte monitor from Best Buy I still have it I like it because both do 120fps on PS5 but this New Gigabyte Curved monitor is 4k and HDMI 2.1 and I never knew anything about fps or anything of this until last year dam I been missing out
FOAM
If I came in a curved screen then I'd snap one of these up in a second. Sadly, no curved.
Just use a Canadian power cord... :-)
Amazing monitor, but I wish Apple played better with monitors that aren't branded Apple. As a dev that uses macOS and also enjoys gaming on Windows, this is madly annoying.
I'm surprised the 5700g can drive 4K 144hz. My b550 mobo is only rated for up to 4k 60hz (despite having HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4) and I assumed it was a bottleneck with the Vega iGPUs. Granted, I'm not Warren Buffett so the highest I've tried on my 5700g with the mobo is 2 4k60 displays and an old CRT over VGA.
Newegg scammed me so never buying from them ever again.
After the disaster that is the Aorus 48 inch OLED, I will NEVER buy another Gigabyte monitor.
What happened?
Hypothesis; This will not be better than a C1 OLed.

Newegg Didn't learn because they are broke.
Am I the only one who wishes for a 24 inch 4K 144Hz monitor? It feels like hi-dpi has been painfully neglected on anything but macs.
Gratz! You got a SWISS Plug!
The other mgiht be SCHUKO.
But really, you Yanks need more Swiss Plugs in your life.
Nah i don't want a 5 milisec panel,thought it would be better.
in the dark all ips gonna show white spot and this is why people like me return ips crap so yes the monitor (work)
4K resolution is too much for most users.
You're not lying. But then again there are people that need 4k for work and other things or just want to be informed and that's who this video is for.
First
32"? HA! My waist is bigger than that.
4k at 32inch is a bad yoke. It has to be minimum 5k, preferably 6. It's 2022 FFS.
Enjoy those tiny icons on the screen then. Who even sells 5k and 6k weird resolutions besides Apple?
@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035 have you heard of PPI & scaling?
@@z00h TH-cam just notified me about your reply. And yeah I'm aware of PPI and scaling. I also personally had a 27" 1440p monitor and the icons were still a bit small for me. Apple has their 27" monitor in 4k so the icons are likely even smaller due to over double the pixels of 1440p but hey if it works for you go for it. Just sharing my opinion. Good day to you.
nice video
