Review: The new 32" 4k king - Last year I was luck enough to get both a PS5 and an RTX 3070ti (paired with a Ryzen 9 5950X) at retail prices thanks to some lottery style selections. But my 27" 1080p MSI Optix G27C4, while a fine monitor, just didn't let my PS5 and PC flex their true muscles. I really wanted to go 4K and 32" and after some research it looked like the Gigabyte M32U was the best there currently is coming in at the top of many lists. Then I noticed the recently released M32UC was cheaper, but also had better specs, and since I'm the only one using it I didn't care that it's a curved VA panel. Even though there are very few reviews out there I decided to take a chance and go for it. I've only had the monitor for two days, but my first impressions are great! First off the assembly was easy, the base is very sturdy and the stand moves well, though it doesn't really have the down tilt I was looking for, but it does what it needs to. Happy to say there were no stuck/dead/bright pixels on my monitor. Also if you're buying this from outside of the US it does come with three different plug options coming out of the power brick so no worries of coming up with the right version with the right plug. Interestingly the power brick is flat so it's more of a power slab, never seen one of those before. Anyway, it comes with all of the cables you need including the USB, DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 cables, but they're only about 3 feet long, the DP just barely reached my PC just under the left corner of my desk. Actually using the monitor my first impression was that it was pretty dark, and I was starting to wonder if I had made a big mistake. Going through the settings I quickly realized the default display setting is the low power "green" setting. Changing to "standerd" brightened things up considerably even though the actual brightness setting is only at 65. I found higher than 65 to be too bright and hard on the eyes. I thought my old MSI monitor was bright at 100 so this is quite the upgrade. The M32UC is edge lit so when the screen is dark there is a noticeable brightness in the corners, but it's still pretty dark thanks to its 3000:1 contrast (the M32U has a worse 1000:1 contrast). As is I was only getting 8bit color from this monitor which is what the specs say it's capable of, but once I turned HDR on in windows I actually got 10bit which is not listed in the specs so that's nice. Also it does 144Hz pretty easy, but it will overclock to 160Hz in the screen settings. Only PC game I've tried so far is WWE 2K22 which isn't all that well optimized on PC and the graphics are locked to the FPS so anything over 60FPS is sped up so it isn't a great test game but it did look fantastic! On PS5 it recognized the monitor as HDR capable immediately and ran me through some special setups. Tested it out with Horizon Forbidden West and what little I messed around with looked incredible. There was some ghosting with movement, but turning off Overdrive in the monitor settings cleared that right up. I look forward to playing a lot more AAA titles with this monitor! Overall it's just an amazing monitor that does everything I was looking for. I doubt I'll ever use the KVM function, I don't even know if I'll use the USB and I don't care, this monitor does everything I need it to, well worth the money! Side note, it's pretty light weight and the box has a single carrying handle on the top, and yet UPS plastered "heavy" and "team lift" stickers all over the box. :D
Review: In love with M32UC - Never going back to a Samsung - Edit: Be careful reading my review. It shows me as purchasing Curved|4K|IPS but this is an error on this listing's part, it's the VA Panel - M32UC which is in the actual product description. Update (7/29/23): Calibration I went to rtings site to get info on applying some small calibrations. Out of the box, the color accuracy is pretty good, but I noticed a blue tint on whites. The white balance was also off. I selected the "Custom 1" color setting and also applied rting's icc color profile. It made my eyes feel a million times better and whites looked "true". For most people this may suffice, but I am very sensitive and took the brightness down additionally (after doing these things) to 53. You can ONLY adjust the brightness when using the custom profile. This is NOT a Vesa-certified HDR. I know some people may knock a start off for this, but I didn't. If you need to make adjustments to the monitor (as I described), you cannot use HDR anyway. HDR will force you to view everything at higher brightness anyway. Understanding what a VA panel monitor is and isn't: If you don't know much about VA monitors, understand that this type of monitor tends to work better for people that game/work in dimlight settings. They also tend to have better colors. Otherwise, IPS panels may be better all around for most other settings and they have better viewing angels. I also see some reviews talking about ghosting and smearing. There is zero point in getting this monitor if you don't go 120hz or higher. Bad VA monitors will suffer the worst in this case, but the Gigabyte does not. I dare say, I find it better than a comparable Samsung VA. Reasons I threw out my Samsung G5 and decided to go with the M32UC: I was getting fed up with my fishbowl looking Samsung 32 in G5. The curvature of the M32UC is an inch deep from the center point while the Samsung is a whopping two inches. At a 32 in size, you do NOT need that type of radical curvature. Mounting the M32UC was also a breeze unlike the Samsung. I play action RPGs, MMOs, and a few FPS games. I have a decked out system that easily handles 4k, and I wanted to continue sticking with a VA panel type monitor. I wanted something that was good and balanced for all types of games. I can’t stand IPS panels (they hurt my eyes) and I’m not some competitive esport player - but I still want an edge where I can while enjoying onscreen graphics. If you want a VA monitor with immersive graphics while playing games like Diablo 4, deep beautiful contrast, this is the monitor to get. I shopped around for a long time before settling on this monitor. My Radeon 6950 xt handles it beautifully at 4k 144hz Make sure you use a VESA-certified DP cable with it!! It comes with a good one, but it was too short for mounting purposes. This is not the type of monitor you want to run in HDMI even though it has the ports for it (unless you attaching other monitors for the KVM capability). KVM Switch: While it was not the reason I bought this monitor, the KVM switch surprised me at how well it works. In fact, it helped me get rid of my dual office setup. There are people that have been ranting about it, but there is a specific way to use it. First off, I did not download/use the software. I can't even install it anyway on my work laptop (it's restricted). Part 1 - Plugging in the commonly shared peripherals to be used between two computers sharing the same monitor - Plug Mouse into one of the 3 USB 3.0 ports on the monitor - Plug Keyboard into one of the 3 USB 3.0 ports on the monitor Part 2 - Connecting my main desktop/gaming/personal rig for KVM use - Plug in the DP cable between the monitor on the desktop - Plug in (included with monitor purchase) the USB type B (square-looking end) into the monitor, and plug in the other end (USB type a) into the desktop computer - Note that this alone should allow you to use your peripheral devices attached to the monitor regardless if you choose to use the KVM switch or note Part 3 - Connecting my company laptop for KVM use - Plug in an HDMI cable between the laptop and the monitor - Use a type C to C connector (must be bought separately). Plug in one end into the type c port on the monitor, and plug in the other end to the type c port on the laptop - Note you will also need to plug in a separate ethernet cable to the laptop, unless you use WIFI or whatever Part 4 - Final step to switch between the two computer - Go into your main menu on the monitor and then to the KVM settings - Assign your main/desktop using the Displayport cable to one switch - Assign your laptop/whatever using the HDMI (port 1) cable to the other switch You can now use the KVM button to swap between the two computer. Note, it can take several seconds while you stare at a black screen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive. Best value, nearly perfectly functionality for a 49" ultrawide OLED
*by B***N on January 13, 2026*

Works perfectly for my usage: - Office/productivity - love the width, for me the text quality is good. No complaints at all here. - Gaming/media - quite good, some games are quirky. In those cases I go down to 21:9 and have black bars on the side. The OLED is excellent for high fidelity games. If I was only gaming, I'd go for a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor. If there is any productivity in your day, this monitor is excellent (and also very, very good at the gaming/media side). AORUS was not on my radar the last few monitor purchases, but certainly will be going forward.
