The Gigabyte G32QC features AMD Radeon FreeSync technology that guarantees fluid motion by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate to the graphics card's framerate, while the G-Sync Compatible means you can enjoy these advantages with your NVIDIA GPU as well. The non-glare surface, flicker-free design combined with low blue light technology, are aimed at reducing eye strain during use, while the 94% DCI-P3 saturation contributes to the vivid colors of the image in a multitude of applications. The VESA DisplayHDR certification provides greater contrast and color accuracy compared to the standard dynamic range (SDR) monitors of the past.

Although it is one of the best monitors I have ever had, as soon as the warranty expired, it started to darken - blur - produce shadows in random spots. At first, I would just turn it off and upon turning it back on, it would return to normal. At some point, I needed to start rebooting the PC. Ultimately, three and a half years after purchasing it, the problem is permanent.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?I bought the 32" screen for 349 euros a month ago and it arrived without any issues with pixels or other manufacturing problems.
The reason I got it was to use it as an extension of my laptop (to save my eyes during video calls) and to play Xbox Series S games in 2K resolution since I didn't plan on investing 1000+ euros for an OLED screen for 4K gaming (I would have gotten the Series X in that case).
Practically speaking, if you're coming from crappy or small screens, you'll be amazed by the 2K 32" screen, even though it's not considered top-tier among VA panels.
It's super value for money if you can find it at its low price.
I saw in reviews that its factory settings don't do it justice, and it's true. If you play around with the settings, the screen improves significantly. I tried to find and install an ICC profile, but I failed due to lack of knowledge. For now, I have it as it came with the settings and three programs to meet my needs.
1. Standard - (60 brightness)/ balanced overdrive - 1440 resolution/ gamma 4/ I've also played around with the colors.
For work, video calls, etc. (if you don't lower the brightness, your brain will fry - I had a headache on the first day).
2. RPG gaming (for Xbox) - brightness changes to 100, the rest is the same + sharpness +1 (balanced overdrive gives 60fps).
3. FPS gaming (for Xbox) - same as the previous one but with speed overdrive for the 120fps that the Xbox can provide in some games.To keep it short, I did my research and for the money I wanted to spend (-400 euros), I would buy it again. I love this screen! I wouldn't go for an Odyssey G7 or any other monitor priced at 600-700 euros. The next upgrade will be an OLED or something of similar power and capabilities!

Did you find this review helpful?In December, I bought this monitor at 31.5". The freesync is enjoyable (with Antialiasing and v-sync disabled) with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x processor and a Sapphire 5600 XT graphics card, and there are no visible lines or anything. It reaches up to 165Hz with Display Port and requires an additional USB connection to adjust it from a program rather than the physical menu.
The 32-inch monitor has become a must for me now. I used it for programming and gaming. I played games like Cyberpunk 2077 (despite the bugs, it has incredible aesthetics and was a delight on the 32-inch 2K screen).
So, AMD Freesync, 2K resolution, 165Hz monitor. The colors needed some adjustment from the OSD Sidekick, but then everything was fine. It is thin at the top and wider at the bottom, and it has an external power supply (they could have placed it at the back of the top, for example).
It is no longer my main monitor due to an accident. I removed it from its stand and placed it on an arm that is screwed onto my desk, and when I put it in front, it had a crack (I have uploaded a photo) and displayed vertical and horizontal black and iridescent lines. It didn't fall or get hit. Of course, I may not have handled it correctly without realizing it. For example, maybe I held it with my thumb at a certain point or when I placed it on the desk to screw it in the back, it may have touched something and cracked due to its weight. The issue is that it is not covered by the warranty, and no one believes it is worth changing the panel on a monitor because the cost would be higher than its retail price.
For me, it performs very well in terms of image, but it is fragile and requires a lot of attention to avoid touching it and causing it to crack like mine. It is worth noting that I have a Samsung 24" monitor that has fallen and had a controller thrown on top of it (desperate gamer, haha), and it has not displayed a single dead pixel. We're talking about a different level of material quality, and it wasn't even an expensive monitor! So now I have the 24", the cracked 32" for half of its screen, and I'm waiting for the Samsung Odyssey G7 32" to become my main monitor, which I hope will be of sufficient quality.
I didn't buy it again, and I wouldn't buy it again due to the quality of its panel materials.
Furthermore, it is overpriced for no reason (yesterday it was around €400, and a month ago I bought it for €350). I won't talk about the graphics cards and what has happened there.

Did you find this review helpful?Coming from the Philips 223V, I am completely satisfied in the first few days, in case something comes up I will come back.
Update 2023
At the beginning of the year (coincidentally when its warranty expired), the screen started having issues (half of the surface losing light and essentially having a half-okay screen and the other half being blackened), which in the first 2-3 months could be fixed by turning the screen on and off. After those 2-3 months, when the solution was simple, the problem became permanent and couldn't be fixed. After searching for a solution, I saw that this specific screen had the same problem in several users exactly after the 2-year warranty period.Translated from Greek ·- Comfort

Did you find this review helpful?Surely it is not the top panel that is circulating and cannot be compared to the most expensive ones in its category, such as the Samsung Odyssey G7 32'', but for a 32'' curved monitor, it is an excellent value for money.
Despite the negatives that one may find (not so good viewing angle, not the best blacks, the transformer is located outside the screen, not very good plastics), it remains a very good choice, with an exceptional refresh rate for gamers, very nice colors if you make some easy adjustments, a very sturdy stand, and a user-friendly menu.Use the Display Port to connect it to your GPU to have 2K with 165Hz and make it work at its maximum capabilities (the DP cable is included in the package along with HDMI). At first, it may strain your eyes a bit if you come from a smaller monitor, but you will get used to it in a few days. Also, if you install the OSD Sidekick and connect it to your computer via USB, you can adjust the screen parameters even more easily than with its joystick and update its firmware via the internet.
As for reliability, it remains to be seen as I have only had it for 3 months, but so far, absolutely no problems.
I bought it on Black Friday for €350 (when it was still in stock), but its price is still okay in stores where it is available. Of course, if you find it close to this price, around €350-380, it is definitely worth it. It is excellent for both budget and high-end systems. There are certainly much better monitors in its category, but we are talking about at least €150-200 more, which you can save to invest in better hardware for your PC. Besides the negatives I mentioned, I am completely satisfied and highly recommend it!

Did you find this review helpful?I come from a 27-inch LG IPS panel, the monitor is very good in all aspects. Incredible color response and a 1500R curvature, the only thing I would like is for it to have a slightly better non-glare effect

Did you find this review helpful?I got it on Black Friday and I am completely satisfied. I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I don't know if someone who is would rate it as a five-star due to response times, but for the casual gaming I do, plus the tasks that I prioritize (music production, video/photo editing, and general use), it's flawless.
It has a barely noticeable light bleeding on the edges that you only notice when it's in standby mode.

Did you find this review helpful?The monitor is perfect in terms of value for money. I use it with Nvidia 1080 and it plays flawlessly at 164 Hz, 2K resolution. Titles I play include War Zone, Fortnite, Doom Eternal, PUBG, Apex Legends. You can confidently prefer it. Attention to those who have purchased or will purchase it, if you experience backlighting on the left and right sides when using it with a display port, there is a firmware update available on Gigabyte's website to fix it.

2020-08-31Expert userExcellent 32-inch gaming monitor with very good features.
The 165 Hz refresh rate is a good experience and only available with display port (I haven't tried HDMI).
The joystick on the back is convenient and easy to use for the menu and settings. It has many functions that you can change at any time.
HDR reduces the contrast quite a bit, but I haven't seen a significant difference in colors. You need to find true 2K video to notice differences.
The construction is sturdy and of high quality.
The only drawback is the light bleeding at 2/7 and 6/7 of the top and bottom of the screen, but it seems to have significantly reduced after 1 week of use.
I will come back with more detailed observations and tests on different types of games.EDIT 26/9/2020: After 1.5 months of use, the initial impressions remain the same. An excellent monitor with incredible contrast. I recommend using HDR in FPS games. Avoid Aim Stability as it may have artifacts in some games. The light bleeding is now only visible when the screen has no signal (under normal conditions of watching movies or playing games, it is not visible at all).
