Gigabyte G32QC Curved 3‎1.5" VA 1500R QHD (2560x1440) 165Hz 1ms FreeSync Gaming Monitor, Black

I bought this monitor to replace a Samsung 4K screen as I wanted the higher refresh rate for playing games. As much as I hate to admit it, some of my friends were right, and the refresh online does make a difference.Dropping from 4K to 2K was definitely noticeable, but a settings tweaks and a few days of playing and I don’t notice it any longer.The monitor is nice, has loads of settings you can change to make the picture exactly as you want.Having never had a curved monitor before, I found it odd at first. Now I’m used to it though, you can see why you’d want it, and it helps a lot. At 32 inches (G32QC), it’s a big screen when you’re sat 1-2 foot away, the curve allows the image to wrap around you slightly, so the whole image appears to be the same distance away, rather than a flat screen where the corners would be further away.I power my monitor from an RTX 2070 Super, and in CoD:MW, I get 110-120 FPS with fairly high settings in game.I would definitely recommend this monitor to others, especially if you’re playing fairly quick online multiplayer games

What seemed like a gimmick to me from the start has resulted in a total conversion as I never see myself going back to a flat monitor. In fact when I sit at older flat monitors I immediatly am put off by their flatness and immediately sense the oncoming eye-strain. The curvature of this thing is subtle but seems well designed to reduce eye-strain for long viewing times. Ditch two monitors and get something like this and you'll feel the difference. That is what makes the price worth it, but I do wish they weren't so expensive...

very good quality monitor, great value for buck, it coming with 3year warranty from manufacturer, great gaming experience on 165hz and 2K resolution, very good color reproduce nice and easy to use features also avilable to remote from your pc trough dedicated software, you can adjust anything in osd of system app. I had issue of backlight after week of use but seller replaced it within 4 days. Some manufacturing issue happends sometimes, but overall my experience with this monitor is great and i give 5 Stars to product and also to seller.

So far after some tweaking of settings and navigating pc / xbox series x menu's this thing is BRIGHT and Vibrant !Mine has a few hot spots of back light bleed not always noticable but it's there.seems to respond well if stuttery when playing warzone on xbox series x if you run xbox in 10 bit mode.but it ghosts like a mother on text when scrolling down webpages or page/ window movement is too fast, not sure if this can be sorted in settings as currently on 'speed' over drive.plenty of settings to get through and i feel happy with this monitor on the whole probs tweak it further, but i have bought this to replace a 1080p 60hz monitor.for some reason warzone on the xsx wants to play in 4k if it's enabled in settings, thought since it's not a 4k panel, it's makes things sharper and brighter, but it probs won't be advisable to run this way for long periods, 1440p 120hz is just fine on xsx.in fact any source looks amazing ! movies / tv play well, black levels can be adjusted,i've not seen much word on the ghosting issue so maybe mine has a fault or needs an update, or simply my panel isn't one of the better made ones since va panels are known to be a bit slow.uses a power brick that can get a lil toasty.white power led is quite bright if you look directly at it, other wise not to annoying/ distracting.the joystick for settings causes me hand cramp so i would advise using the usb to pc cable (included as is a hdmi and display port), to use osd sidekick (free downlo) if you feel you will also get cramps.Update dec 2021So after living with this monitor for a while now i've fixed the text blurring issue with a mix of settings in windows/ monitor and driver updates, yes it still has some ghosting issues but by no means as bad as it was, colours still vibrant and sharp for a va panel. refresh rate and frames have settled / or i have aclimated to the difference, i use a 1080ti with freesync off, i don't see any issues from clean sources.update - may 2023other than 'lines' showing up like the backlight isn't on, (if i tweak nvidia settings it clears up) still going, no other issues.For 300 ish i'd say i've done well.

This morning itor is great. Had it for years and will cotinue to use it. Great quality image and good size with the slight curve.

I was originally going to go for a 34" ultrawide from the same Gigabyte family but when I saw the price of this particular model, I jumped at it for the saving!My previous screen was an AOC 24" which I bought in 2011 so this model is obviously a huge improvement and it gives you practically 50% more screen space which I wanted for having Ableton as large as possible but also having a small window for other activities.For the moment, I haven't sussed out how to improve picture quality for video streaming and I'd say it's not as intuitive as I'd like. I'm sure with a bit more time spent on it, it'll be fine. That said, the single joystick on the back of the monitor is good.This page here reviews the model and also has a short video about the settings -https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-g32qc/As you can see from the picture, it has big feet (and I bought a mini wireless keyboard for that reason) but that does make the thing really stable And it is height adjustable and you can tilt the screen a fair amount too.I am pleased with my purchase and service from the seller especially as it arrived a day before advertised!

Great monitor, however the ghosting is VERY noticable when scrolling down any pages / chats. Not normally an issue gaming but occasionally is also very noticable and can discolour some things while moving.Backlights died on mine today, after 3.5 years so just outside of the warranty period which is disappointing. Will be looking to buy another product instead because of this.The ghosting brings this down to 3-4 stars out of the box.
