Description

VA panel presents you a view closer to the human eye than a flat monitor, giving you a more immersive feel. The Gigabyte M32QC includes essentials like DisplayPort 1.2, two HDMI 2.0 ports, and USB 3.0 slots, but this variant gets USB-C to maximize its KVM feature. The connector supports DP Alt Mode, but it can only provide up to 18 Watts of power. It’s only enough for mobile devices, so you will still need to use your laptop’s charger if you want to connect it with this monitor. So, the details won’t be quite as crisp as they are on 27″ 1440p displays – but the large screen still offers an immersive viewing experience. Moreover, 1440p is not nearly as demanding as 4K UHD, allowing you to maintain high FPS. Calibrating it lowered the dE average to 1.65, which isn’t a whole world of improvement versus the default setting. It has an sRGB mode, but it only reduces the gamut average to 2.08. We don’t recommend getting a colorimeter for this model if you need absolute accuracy since that will raise your cost and put you in the range of a prosumer variant. With 3 sizes (small, medium and large) and 4 ratios (1.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x and 4.0x) to adjust, Eagle Eye truly equips you with the finest weapon to beat the enemies! Having hard time aiming at the target? GIGABYTE’s eagle eye is the answer to your question!

While the Gigabyte M32Q has a native 8-bit color depth panel, it supports 10-bit via dithering. However, DisplayPort 1.2 only supports 10-bit color up to 120Hz at 1440p – so, if you want to use 10-bit color, you’ll need to use chroma subsampling (4:2:2 color format) or drop the color depth to 8-bit. Given that the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit color depth is subtle, this is not really an issue. You might notice slightly smoother gradients in HDR games with 10-bit color, but HDR is not a selling point of the Gigabyte M32Q anyway. Price & Similar Monitors While they offer a better HDR image quality, you still won’t get the true HDR viewing experience as they have only several dimming zones.The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers height adjustment up to 130mm, swivel by +/- 30°, tilt by -5°/20° and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility, but no pivot. However, if you are using VRR and your frame rate is below 100FPS, ‘Balance’ will cause some overshoot, in which case, you should dial the overdrive down to ‘Picture Quality’ for better performance south of 100FPS. We bought and tested the HP X27q, which is a similar budget gaming monitor. We added a few relevant comparisons to this review. The Gigabyte M32Q has an outstanding response time at 60Hz. We still recommend the 'Picture Quality' Overdrive setting, as it delivers the best response time with the least amount of overshoot, but there's a bigger difference between 'Picture Quality' and 'Balance' this time. Unlike at the max refresh rate, there's significantly more overshoot in the 'Balance' mode at 60Hz, and the total response time is significantly slower. Again, 'Speed' is terrible and shouldn't be used.

Pixel response time speed performance is also very good. There are five overdrive modes: Off, Picture Quality, Balance, Speed, and Smart OD. The Gigabyte M32QC isn’t the fastest gaming monitor around since VA technology’s limitations still bind it. That extra 5Hz doesn’t improve its pixel response time drastically, so it still is prone to blurring in contrasting or fast-paced transitions. Setting its overdrive to its Speed option will help, but it cannot altogether remove the persistence. However, it has some limitations since it’s a budget model, such as its 18-watt charging limit on that USB-C connector. It’s also prone to blurring, but that’s a limitation you have to live with if you want the higher contrast ratio of VA panels. It’s an excellent buy, but it is not a massive upgrade over its predecessor.

Both the menu and the software are well-organized and smooth with plenty of useful features available, including various picture presets, such as Standard, FPS, RTS/RPG, Reader, Movie, sRGB and three custom profiles. The Gigabyte M32Q has the new Eyesafe certification that ensures less harmful low-blue light emission even when not using a dedicated blue light picture preset. You’ll also find a dedicated Reader mode and a low-blue light slider if you wish to further reduce it. The streamline appearance represents the simplicity of the GIGABYTE gaming series design philosophy, sturdy stand and matte finish built for functional and aesthetic features adding more to the characteristics. Moving on, the Gigabyte M32Q supports AMD FreeSync Premium with a 48-170Hz VRR range for tear-free gameplay up to 170FPS. While it’s not officially certified by NVIDIA as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’, FreeSync works without issues when using compatible GeForce graphics cards (GTX 10-series or newer) over DisplayPort. The Gigabyte M32Q is based on an IPS panel by Innolux with wide 178° viewing angles and consistent colors covering 94% of the DCI-P3 color space (~125% sRGB).
