  • This is a video review for a 32-inch gaming monitor with 4K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The TH-camr introduces the monitor's features, including the IPS panel, HDMI 2.1, VRR, and Freesync. The video also includes an in-depth discussion of the design, including the cable management hole, dimension, and stand. The speaker quality is also discussed, which is found to be clear but not ideal for listening to music or other audio. The video also covers the connectivity and ports available on the monitor, such as the HDMI and USB-C ports. The picture quality is reviewed, with particular attention to the IPS panel's black quality and color coverage. The monitor's built-in software is also discussed, allowing quick tuning of the monitor's settings. The video concludes with a discussion of the monitor's gaming performance and suitability for different types of gamers. It is recommended for casual gamers but may be too large for those playing fast-paced games. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive review of the monitor, including its strengths and weaknesses.

    can you tell me what is your firmware update ? mine come with f08 and i have a hard time to update f10 and always say failed and also what is your picture setting you using for gaming and other or is all on default ? if you could shared and very appreciated ! btw very well explanation video 👌👌👌

    • @Soughts
      @Soughts  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! It is funny, but I have only MacBook and could not check neither update the firmware. I know there is F11 available. If you do not have any issues, I would not bother updating, cause monitors are easy to brick and there would be no way to make it alive again by your own.
      I mostly play HDR games. I set super resolution to 1, Light & Color enhance 1, Dark enhance is usually off for night gaming. Local dimming is turned on. The only setting I change playing daytime in Dark enhance.

      Hey! I also have M28U and will do a review soon. I had similar behavior you are talking about, but the problem was in my USB-C cable. As for my uses, M28U is just a bit small but great for competitive gaming.

    I'm really tossed between the M32U and M32UC, leaning towards the 32UC for the novelty of playing on a curved monitor for the first time ever...

    • @Soughts
      @Soughts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! M32UC is absolutely different monitor with VA panel. It might actually be better for gaming, but for productivity I would go with M32U

    • @Soughts
      @Soughts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@danieldanilov4013 Yes. In simple words. IPS panel is more about colors and viewing angles. VA panel is more about black and high contrast. I prefer an IPS panel, cause my primary use for the monitor is productivity and I need better viewing angels.
      M32U and M32UC are different panel types, so you should consider what is more essential for you to.

      Hi! The G-Sync is not officially supported, but it works. Here is Rtings review quote - "It supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology (VRR), and although it's not officially supported, it also works with NVIDIA's G-SYNC Compatible feature."

      Hi! Yes, a little bit. For my self when I am playing games I still mostly need focus on the centre of the screen. As for productivity while editing videos I have pretty a lot of different things and just want them to fit on the screen, so looking for sides is okay for me.

      Yes, but it is enough for 4k 120hz 4:2:0 chroma. For an average gamer it would work well. The impact of chroma subsapmling is very low in games.

      On the Xbox Series X, it uses data stream compression and doesn’t use chroma sub-sampling. On the PS5 it does use have chroma sub-sampling.
