amazon Gigabyte G32QC reviews
In the segment of $450 to find a large screen that supports high scanning frequency, there are many different options, and if you need a large screen with 2K resolution, good entertainment, and other options. With support for a 165Hz refresh rate, Gigabyte G32QC will be a perfect solution.
At first, when looking at the Gigabyte G32QC monitor, a gamer will surely realize that even though it’s called a gaming monitor, this monitor still has a design style with fewer gaming elements than other manufacturers’ products in Gigabyte’s Aorus product range.
The Gigabyte G32QC monitor has a design that is not invested much, with the main color tone being completely black and without colorful RGB color bands. Its back also has a joystick control cum power button on the left side, the screen name text on the left, and the bottom are the connection ports. The stand of the G32QC has a large V-shaped design and has a convenient wiring slot.
Also, because the design is not focused, the Gigabyte G32QC monitor shows its flexibility is not high when it can only look up / down very little and raise/lower only. Although the tripod looks gaming, it is quite “uncouth” and does not even allow the screen to rotate left and right but forces the user to rotate the tripod. At the same time, when attaching the Gigabyte G32QC screen to the stand, it is also relatively difficult to get the screws instead of using the lever like other monitors.
A major weakness of the design that is not invested much is that the Gigabyte G32QC will heat up on the back during use. It’s also quite fortunate that this monitor still has a heatsink slot, but it only helps the Gigabyte G32QC improve, and the heat is still noticeable when touching the back. However, the design weakness is what Gigabyte trades to give the G32QC other pluses in terms of performance and display quality, the best in its price range.
Regarding the screen’s display quality, the G32QC monitor has impressive parameters with a price range of $450. The screen has a VA panel with 2K resolution, 165Hz frequency, 1ms MPRT response rate, HDR400 support, and 1500R curvature. It can be said that at the price of $450 or less, the G32QC is a bargain with 2K panels and 165Hz frequency, not to mention Adaptive-Sync to help experience smoother gaming.
Besides the quality display parameters, the color reproduction of this monitor is very good with high saturation and very good scores, sRGB 100%, and DCI-P3 is 93%, contrast up to 2420 :1, and a Delta E score of 1.68. In addition to giving a good gaming experience, the screen also offers really good entertainment needs with large color space. But that’s why after a period of experience, Biareview realizes that this monitor will be best for users who are not hardcore gamers who use the screen to play games and combine entertainment.
The main reason is that Gigabyte G32QC has a large screen size of 32-inch, which is not ideal for gaming. However, it is not appropriate to say that it is not suitable for gaming. Still, it is not suitable to play shooting games or, specifically, games that require a lot of information on the screen, highly competitive games. When playing games, it isn’t easy to look at the corners of the screen to see information such as the map. But open world games or adventure games will be extremely suitable when playing on G32QC; then, you can cover the extremely large spaces captured. That also applies well to movies, and combined with the G32QC’s good color quality, looks great.
Regarding the VA panel of the screen, this is the point of sacrifice when the Gigabyte G32QC is not equipped with an IPS panel to provide the best price for gamers. The weakness of the VA panel is that it does not give a good viewing angle, but at a direct angle when used, the G32QC responds perfectly. Therefore, such “bargain” points that the G32QC’s biggest sacrifice when using a VA panel can be easily ignored; as mentioned above, if viewed directly, this panel still gives the ability to reproduce. The color is good but not bad.
Talking more about HDR400 on G32QC, in theory, and the parameters of the screen, the G32QC only supports the 8-bit VESA Display HDR400 standard. But a special thing about this monitor is that when you use it at 60Hz, the G32QC will emulate 10-bit, allowing you to watch some HDR content on YouTube or watch movies in HDR. Although it is only an emulator, the G32QC can allow viewing of HDR content on popular platforms is also a big plus.
Finally, summarizing Gigabyte G32QC, this is a bargain with a price of $450 for users who aim to play games combined with entertainment when possessing a large 32-inch size and impressive parameters in its price range. Although the design weaknesses, especially the limited flexibility, will and use VA panels instead of IPS are minus points. However, it will still be easily acceptable compared to what the G32QC monitor brings to the market its price.
