I think you mean YOURS doesn't explode. Mine probably would, if they sent us one. But not because of bad design!
Gamers Nexus is now stalking all Gigabyte reviews it seems.
The dislikes on this video are from Giggle Bit employees
stopppp, they're already deaddddd
Your personal radiation of your anti Gigglebit aura is causing this all! YOU are the Problem Steve!!
Tech Jesus be smiting Gigabite products left and right
The thumbnail caption is legendary salt lol
It doesn't explode!
Yet... lol
I literally LOLed when I saw it.
that thumbnail should be recorded in history for future generation, along with GN's 'exploding' investigation
It's an overdose..
Wow it doesn't explode. How shocking.
The thumbnail made me laugh so hard, I love that every new Gigabyte product will be testing to check if it will explode or no.
But was it properly tested for explodium inside, or just turned on and no boom... yet?
When I sell my gigabyte GPU on ebay I'll be sure to write an explosion disclaimer lol
I think it'll be beating a dead horse at some point.
@@AidGum Will it blow up, if beaten?
Looks like a “cracking” screen.
"it doesn't explode!"
"have you tried turning it off and on again?" :-)
The GN Speedrun showed that the third time is the charm!
IT
If it doesn’t blow up I won’t buy it, gigabyte just finished convincing me blowing up is normal
Heheh. Nice one😁
Looks like I'm still waiting for the ideal 32" 4K high refresh monitor for both gaming and content creation 😩
4k 240Hz coming up in 2023 :). LG is working on it.
:)
But does it explode?
@@josipreponj1928 its gonna cost 6 kidneys
@@josipreponj1928 I would need at least 2 of those with a 5080/8800XT/Arc Druid to kick out 300fps at 4k.
Gigabyte will have this meme haunting them for the next years.
Buying “gigabyte keyboards”: will it explodes?
Buying gigabyte cases: will it exxplodes?
Buying aorus figures: will it exxxplodes?
Unfortunately their response to the attention means I’m doing a hard pass on Gigabyte for my monitor - they already lost out on a 3080 Ti sale (my last few cards have been Gigabyte) so I’m making sure to vote with my wallet until they take responsibility
We'll see if you're right in a couple of years then.
Yeah, it really blew up
Tim immediately talking as soon as the video started caught me off guard.
Now that the 'stache is no longer showing him down, he just goes for it ;)
You could say that he immediately...blew up :)
Plot Twist:
with every 32" monitor, you get 750 Watts PSU free.
The way I see it, you can still shed more on the price of this unit is...getting rid of the gamer aesthetic of the monitor, like LED lighting, simplier chasis, etc.
how much do you think adding this costs? It's really nothing compared to the total cost of the unit. Personally I'd be prepared to pay extra to get rid of gamer aesthetics and led lightning from all my shit.
@@nttea You are right.
@@nttea i mean gigabyte has a 28 inch hdmir 2.1 4k for 599... And it performs better than this one thats 1000
@@kanpeki3033 a lot of factors are involved in unit pricing, in my opinion part of the problem is people overvalue rgb, those who don't care for rgb expect to get a much better deal and when they don't they go and buy the rgb garbage to feel like they didn't get ripped off. This is why we don't have a better selection of non-rgb products for gamers.
After hearing about how they handled the PSU situation I will not buy any Gigabyte proucts for the foreseeable future.
HDMI 2.1 should be a requirement on all new 4k high refresh monitors so we can play pc and next gen consoles with the same display. Glad to see it included. Manufacturers need to get with it. Finally seems like some are including it now
its mostly that nvidia has not updated its gsync module to 2.1 yet
God bless, finally a pc monitor that's not blowing up. Hope u tested its OPP, because I don't live under a fire resistant bridge 🙏
I look for other brands now. Gigabyte lost all credibility to me with the powersupplies.
@@SLACkra what was their reply to gamer nexus..
@@sahayogshrestha9254 "you tested it wrong"
You clearly didn't test this monitor for extended periods of time at high DC, because it will explode then.
The search for a good 32" 4K/144 monitor continues. :(
What was your decision? have you bought one? :)
@@renzoarana3018 Still waiting. Every monitor comes close but there's always one shortcoming...too big, curved, not enough local dimming zones, not bright enough, no HDMI 2.1, etc. They always seem to lack one key element. 😢 I wish a manufacturer would make a flat 32" that has EVERYTHING and just price it accordingly. But no one seems to want to tackle that market.
@@Darkswordz Yes, but what u dont like about the FI32u? the conrast maybe, the perfect flat 32 is goona be so expensive :O
It doesn't explode? Hard pass. I'm sad Gigabyte introduce booming new features, then remove it in their next product. Should stick with their brand recognition.
When one DOES explode, perhaps their next thumbnail will say "It doesn't always explode!"
This is exactly what I needed to know, heard some positive things prior to watching the video, but the weak performance in the color accuracy makes me doubt quite a bit, I guess it is definitely worth waiting a little while before the purchasing one of these 32" 4k 144hz monitors
The Colors are Amazing, just test it for yourself before hearing other opinions believe me :)
Thank you for this review! I've been eyeing this one, but after watching this I am more than happy with waiting for something that doesn't have a large pile of little nitpicks at a high price tag.
I recently picked up the big brother of this monitor, the FV43U and couldn’t be happier! Looking forward to Tim’s review and more importantly his colour calibration
Thank you for the review. Been waiting for you to do this review
Loving these 4K monitor reviews recently!
Eve Spectrum next?👀
I really like your humour, the thumbnail alone made me smile, greetings from Germany, keep doing your thing.
I thought gigabyte gave a good bang for buck. Or are that just the psu's?
They are definitely good and a loud bang
I really want more 32" or higher 4k 144hz+ monitor options!
Yeah, with hdr600 ofc
After how Gigabyte is handling the PSU issue with RMA's and lack of a recall I wouldn't touch anything they make with a barge pole.
Here in Hungary most motherboards I see are from Gigabyte
and I bought a gigabyte monitor right before the exploding was found out
From a "former" Gigabyte fan, I agree.
@@beavatatlan they have the best supply line and thus best prices here, as far as I know
Oh my god, I've been waiting for this review.
Great review. Will you be reviewing the aorus FV43U?
exactly what Im lookin for but I guess I'll still hold back and see what else comes out in the 32" 4k 144hz line of things
Gigabyte will come out with the M32U soon, which is the cheaper version of this one ( same panel)
Thank you to Tim for reviewing this product. I would suggest that every single future monitor advertised as "HDMI 2.1" needs to be checked for the bandwidth available on those ports. It is so depressing to read the spec of this monitor on Gigabyte's website. It reads in the note: "HDMI 2.1 supports PS5 and Xbox Series X at 4K UHD@120Hz (4:2:0)". What does this mean? Does it mean 4K/120 8-bit 4-2-0 (18 Gbps) or 4K/120 10-bit 4-2-0 (20 Gbps)? Can it process 4K/120 10-bit signal from consoles and GPUs at 18 Gbps? The HDMI spec would not allow this. Does the monitor support TMDS signalling only or FRL too? If it supports FRL, does it support FRL3 only (up to 24 Gbps), FRL4 (up to 32 Gbps), etc.? Tim, could you please, check this with Gigabyte? There has been so much inadequate marketing of HDMI 2.1 features and port speeds.
I haven't watched Hardware Unboxed videos recently, but who's this guy and what has he done to the mustachioed man?
They replaced clam brush man with a shaved clone. Science!
great review as always but i would like to know what monitor you use. im waiting for the 42 lg oled
Would your recommend this just for gaming, production? It looks like it’s always up there with the top. I can buy for for about 400$?
I think I trust these guys the most with their reviews. Smart and thorough.
Thanks a lot!
Great and thorough review.
Very much appreciated.
Was deciding between a 28" samsung odyssey G7 4k 144hz 2021 model and maybe something of a bigger size. But FI32U is not quite that.
Hopefully G7 4k will do better.
I’m really considering this monitor. I’m not overly fussed on the minute little flaws here and there in terms of the performance. Finding a HDMI 2.1 monitor that’s perfect at this price point is next to impossible.
I really do prefer 30” over, anything below is a little too small. But I’m glad to see this one holds up. As a console gamer who is just looking for the HDMI 2.1 functionality I hope this will be a sufficient monitor.
Is it worth redoing some of the tests on the FI32U since it had a new firmare update? Fixed some problems and improved input latency apparently.
Possibly for end of month:
We see a lot of these 4K monitors with refresh rates. However getting high FPS simultaneously with 4K is no easy task, especially while using Ray Tracing. So my question is: could manufacturers produce a say 90Hz max refresh rate monitor with VRR and use those "savings" in order to improve other aspects of the performance (bringing the cumulative deviation and ghosting rates down across the VRR range, and improving color accuracy overall) or even lower costs and selling price? Also cutting their fake HDR support while they're at it, imho. Or is this just not how monitor building works? Thanks.
hoping you do a M32U video. very interested to see how it compares to the this monitor and the M28U.
The thumbnail made me burst out laughing!
HI
Hardware Unboxed what difference are between M32U and AORUS FI32U ??? I don't know which one to buy of the 2 for 4k gaming.
Is this monitor better than the samsung oddysey G70A?
How much extra do you have to pay for exploding panels?
Love the "IT DOESN'T EXPLODE!" in the thumbnail!
I was waiting for this and 32" 4k 144Hz monitors in general but I'm glad I just bought a 48" C1 instead
AORUS FV43U or AORUS FV32U which one would you recommend for PS5?!
After moving to 4K HFR with the Asus XG27UQ, I’ll never ever go back. I’m stoked to see more competition in this space; if this had existed when I got mine, I would’ve preferred the 32” over my 27”!
i cant go back from 32" (had since 2015, only 60hz though) has to be 16:9. Wdiescreen is 'why is the top missing?' apart from being much less compatible with content. Thing is im after flatscreen 1440p VA high refresh. Either they are crap (theres basically only 1, a bad lg panel), or goddamn curved. 16:9 should NOT be curved
Does the USB c port on this monitor can wok as a docking station?
I thought about buying this monitor the last couple of weeks, but I'm glad I came across your video. This seemed like a great monitor but it's not quite what I thought, thanks for sharing.
Hi Tim, I noticed the GN950 best overdrive mode has been changed in the latest graphs and comparisons? In the original review you mentioned that the best and default overdrive mode of this monitor is the (fast) mode with a 4ms response time, but in the latest it seems like you are representing it with the over drive (off) setting at 6ms, hope you can give some clarity for this maybe I'm just misunderstanding something. Thanks for all your hard work mate.
He hates LG. No matter what he says there will be always be a bias here.
I'm not sure if related but I noticed that in the original review, it was at 144Hz and was change to 160hz somewhere down the line. I'm guessing that after the firmware update to 160hz, the best overdrive at that refresh rate is at 'off'.
Would you choose the Fi32u or the m32u Tim? Which would be the better choice ??
Are you guys going to do a review of the LG 27GP950 or the new EVE Spectrum? Thats would be sweet. Thx!
Finally just what I wanted
Just started watching the video so hoping response time and color performance is good
Thanks for the review. Was looking forward to this monitor... not so much anymore.. It's incredible that in 2021 there is still being released premium monitors with horrible pixel response times.
A 1000 dollar monitor with no hdr, 900:1 contrast ratio, mediocre response times too. This thing is a joke
DO YOU SUGGEST NEO G8 / 7 OR THIS ONE?
Is there any plan for a review of the 43” gigabyte? Or the LG 27GP950?
for all UHD monitors, can you test if they work well with QHD input? this will allow higher frame rates while gaming.
Will y’all do a in-depth review of the gigabyte F048U? I was gonna pull the trigger on the LG C1 for my new monitor but hearing about gigabyte releasing a gaming monitor centric version that doesn’t have a gaming monitor markup, i wanted to see a if gigabyte has done anything to make the C1 panel worse.
@Hardware Unboxed- can you give advice on the best setttings for gaming on PS5 @4k 120hz?
Isn't the hdmi 2.1 limited in bandwidth closer to hdmi 2.0 on this fi32u?
Oh I'm really interested in the pg32uq can't wait to see how it turns out.
I like that the thumbnail mentions that it doesn't explode.
Hey, are you guys gonna take a look at the similar Gigabye M32U? Thanks!
Thank you Tim! Been waiting on your review to buy or not buy this.
I hope you will review the LG 34GP950G soon! I heard it's been available in the US for a few weeks now.
I picked up this monitor this week and I am quite happy with it. My only issue is that the OSD Side Kick program does not work, it keeps throwing up a "find more than one gigabyte monitor" error even tough I have the latest version. I have emailed Gigabyte but to date heard nothing.
Any chance you can review the Acer x34 GS, I’m looking to replace my original Acer x34 with a newer ultra wide monitor
Hey my dudes, can the aorus fo48u run 144hz with display port? asking because on the gigabyte specifications page it only has 120hz and im not sure if its only saying that because they are trying to say look here its got hdmi 2.1 and is the best for console gaming
great reviews dude
Guess it doesn't have a 850 W powersupply
Real question is do you trust the power brick (or if it's internal).
@@Exyvia Last time I saw a monitor with an ac/dc external brick, the HDMI standard wasn't even created.
Is this still a good buy in November 2023?
What’s the difference between this and the m32u? I can’t figure it out.
Man you keep tempting me to these 4K high frame rate monitors! I’m super keen for a sub 40” OLED monitor though.
Just like Plasma before it, OLED looks destined to "never" go mainstream for PC's due to ongoing issues with burn in. That said I'd go Ultrawide over this, all day every day.
Nice review, but why do you use US pricing in Australia?
I hope they release a M32U-P Version with better color accuracy/gamut range like they did with m27q-p
I have a question:
If we put headphone warnings for loud noises, what warning do we give WHEN WE USE ALL CAPS?!
I can’t wait for you to review the new lg ultragear ultrawide that just came out
are you gonna review the new Samsung 28" and compare it with the older 27"?
Is this monitor safe for in home use? I'm currently using an Acer nitro 170hz 27 inch.
Does it come with fire blanket?
Please review the Gigabyte Aorus FV43U next. Thank you
I want to see the overall champion of 4k 144hz .....
You should compare in one video..
👍
When do you guys think 8K 144hz will be viable? 4 years or 6 years from now? Hopefully 4K 144hz with the next gen RDNA 3 and RTX 4000 Series
Still waiting on the PG32UQ 😭
When will they release it?
@@jodea6099 suppose to be sometime in September. It’s already released in China and other regions are taking preorders. Some reviewers are also receiving their review units. So hopefully soon!
as always great review... that lacking overdrive is a monitor killer
Okay I just noticed the "it doesn't explode" thumbnail after watching. 😂😂😂 Sure still lacks attention given by gigabyte though.
Could you review Samsung Odyssey 27crg5?
Your reviews are the best
You reviews are amazing, but I miss a webpage with filters and rating of your database (like Rtings do) to help us on our choice ritual.
I'd love to see a review of the Acer X38. 1600p would be my preferred height for an ultra-wide.
please do review about LG 38WN95C
You should definitely review the LG 27GN800-B.
It has a similar performance to the LG 27GL850 at a way lower price point of less than 300$.
It actually gets closer to 250€ in my country.
This might be a good competitor to the Gigabyte M27Q.
After having a 30" Dell U3011 for over 5 years now, I don't think I could ever go to something smaller so 27" is right out. Monitors like this are starting to look pretty appealing. Of course if I upgrade this then my 1080ti likely won't be good enough to push 4K, and since I'm upgrading the video card it's probably time to upgrade the CPU and motherboard to - and away we goooooo!
Maybe by the time I'm ready to upgrade all of that micro LED will finally be out solving all the LCD and OLED problems once and for all :p
Good day Hardware Unboxed, i hope you can review new HP monitor model X27I its a 27inch monitor. Thanks!
I'm waiting for you guys to review Acer Predator x34GS. Awesome review as always
Can you review the new AOC CU34G3S?
Can you retest this monitor with the updated F06 Firmware from Gigabyte? Factory firmware was F02, F06 says it improves performance and reduces input lag...
I cant wait to see this screen in a bundle with a PSU
The stand on the back kinda looks like what I feel crutches might look like if we ever get to a cyberpunk future... strange indeed
when do we check out the new samsung g7
“Shaving $2000 off the price” Meanwhile my whole setup (monitor included) cost $1000
So of all the monitors youve reviewed, what 32" 4k monitor would you suggest +/- $1500AUD. Keep in mind HDMI 2.1 is a MUST.
what monitor have u bought?
