Me who has no interest in buying a monitor but still watches to appreciate Tim's hardwork

It's nice to see more decent 32in 1440p options that aren't curved.

Love how half of the comment section of every monitor review is people asking for a review of different monitor..

[Kraiord_]

finally, i've been waiting for this. 32" ips at high refresh rates :)

You’re a legend for real. The ammount of information in only one video is crazy, you saved me litteraly hours of researches

Thank you so much. To me, choosing a monitor is the most stressful and subjective part of a new PC build, but your reviews have helped a ton. I ordered this on a good cyber monday sale. The built in KVM really sold it for that added value. The KVM wasn't even something I was initially looking for in a monitor, but would be very useful to me. Can't wait to upgrade from my now ancient dual dell monitor set up.

Another excellent review, Tim. Something worth mentioning but often overlooked with this one is that it's 'Eyesafe' certified. So it has a shifted blue peak of light that's less energetic and has a slightly lower amplitude. Can improve viewing comfort for some. 🙂

Monitor Steve would really push the limits of this monitor.

Hi, Let me start by saying I love your Hardware Unboxed channel and reviews, I chose my monitor based on them. I purchased a M32Q monitor just over a month ago and now it has a bright dead pixel. The monitor can not be returned as the manufacturers return policy is for 4 or more bright dead pixels or 6 or more dark dead pixels for almost all Gigabytes monitors. Gigabytes Aorus monitors have a 0 bright dead pixel and 6 dark dead policy. I think it would be a great addition to you reviews if you mention the manufacturers bright/dark dead pixel policy as I am now stuck with this new monitor and have a constant reminder that I have wasted my money when ever I see the dead pixel. This is yet another action by companies that screw their customers over. These policies should be changed or they should be mentioned on the advertisements by the manufacturers. Maybe if enough channels mention about dead pixels they would update these policies… wishful thinking.

I just bought this monitor for $360 on Newegg. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for the review!

If not for hardware unboxed I would never have known that HDR 400 is basically a lie. I was very interested in getting a HDR monitor previously but now I know there are very few monitors that have truly good HDR implementation. Please continue to call out the misleading HDR claims, even on otherwise good monitors. Fantastic job, guys.

I'm buying this monitor right now based on this review. Thank you!

Can you maybe add panel coating type info into monitor reviews? For example how heavy is matte coating, medium, light or very light or even semi-glossy and how it effects pixel clearness + how it handles reflections.

Waiting for a review of the Gigabyte M28U.
A 28" 4K 144Hz screen for way less than the LG one. Hopefully better contrast too :)

[moldyshishkabob]

Glad to see the review for my M27Q's big bro! And about the conclusion I expected too.
$500 is a bit much for me, but 27" is already a lot for me too, so I'll stay happy with my "little" version.

[jedisoldier]

Interested to see this put up against the lg32gp850, which is also $500 at Best Buy. These are two monitors which I will likely be deciding between for my next upgrade sometime in the next year

[havfunonline]

I’ve had the M27Q for a while based on your recommendation- KVM an absolute godsend working and gaming from home!

[Archadiaes]

im back just to comment that I just bought this monitor thanks to your review! Thanks for coming in clutch Hardware Unboxed <3

[AnYTimeGaming]

I just want a good Ultrawide. All are sold out in my country :'(

[txmetalcobra]

Well I wanted to get an M32Q but were harder to find at the time and typically $400+. I took a chance on an Acer Nitro XV320QU LV with a 32” 170hz 1440p “Agile Splendor” IPS for only $269 (typically $399) through BestBuy. I actually switched it out with my Odyssey G7 because I was tired of the curved display. I am so far happy with my new Acer monitor. Just think it deserves more attention is all.
