Gigabyte M32U Reviews

Very happy with the monitor. Detected the DP input immediately, no need to change settings. Picture quality is great for both productivity and gaming. As always B&H shipping was super fast and convenient.

Nice monitor, needs better quality control

I really like this monitor for its crisp 4K picture, high refresh rate, fairly bright and accurate colors, and maybe most of all the built-in KVM. I should add that I am not a professional, only an enthusiast, so my standards are not exceptionally high. I have mine wall mounted going to my gaming PC via DisplayPort/USB and M1 Pro MBP via USB-C. I have an Xcellon 7-Port Powered USB Hub going out of the monitor to connect my keyboard, mouse, DAC, and Logitech Brio webcam which works perfectly. I play a variety of new and old games and all of them look great. I also spend quite a lot of time doing spreadsheets and coding which this monitor is excellent for. I use a Dell USB-C docking station so I cannot comment on the 15-watt USB-C charging limit but I can say the M1 Pro MBP looks fantastic on this monitor. As the headline says, Gigabyte needs better quality control for this monitor. The first one I purchased had two small bruised areas and a few bad pixels. Bruised areas are unacceptable for a brand new panel. Upon inspection B&H replaced the monitor and the new one seems to have one bad pixel which is manageable with 4K.

I'm sorry if this is coming through the second time as I had to reset my password I have a PS5 but I do not have a television that has a HDMI 2.1 so I thought that this could possibly be a good alternative I'm just wondering everyone's opinion if this would be good for a PS5 in addition I would be wanting to mount it on a wall type Mount for a TV I know I may have to buy a specific kind but is it able to do that and sounds dumb but can I watch TV through that if I'm watching it through my PlayStation I'm sorry for my ignorance on this issue I'm just looking for the best possible way to be able to get it best experience for the PS5 with the New horizon forbidden
Asked by: morgan
Yes, this monitor will work with a PlayStation 5. It will be able to connect to any device you would normally connect to your television, as long as the devices are able to connect via HDMI or DisplayPort.
