About this deal

Although the HP X32 has a fair level of sharpness, it is nothing out of the ordinary. In comparison, it has the same PPI as a 1080p 24-inch monitor, so we can say it’s decent but not exceptional. If you choose clarity over gaming features, 32-inch 4k displays in the same price range are your best bet.

While other factors like color gamut and coverage are important, the panel’s building quality – which directly affects pricing – has an even greater influence on the IPS’ quality differences. Both characteristics are surely not what I expected to find on a monitor with such good image quality at such a budget price. To top it off, they’ve integrated AMD FreeSync Premium technology, which decreases screen tearing during games with an even better FPS range than the normal Freesync.The buttons are placed on the right side behind the monitor and sadly does not include the nipple , its a pain to reach for at the distance I have the screen. I personally really love the look of it. It's a very office/pro design and has no gamery design features what so ever, THANK YOU!. Stand is solid but you cannot pivot or swivel only adjust height(only thing I need anyway).

With all of this in mind, we can only assume that they opted to place a strong emphasis on the gaming features of this screen. However, keep in mind that it has a fair amount of motion blur, so you won’t find here a top-of-the-line gaming monitor.It measures 29.1 x 9.25 x 21.58 inches and weighs 17.40 lbs which is relatively light for its size but still makes it a pretty heavy monitor. In fact, the sturdiness of this model can surely make up for its heavy weight, featuring top-tier quality materials. Another advantage (depending on some factors) is the monitor’s 1440p resolution. This resolution is right now one of the most coveted for casual gaming, as it holds a solid balance between sharpness and prices. Although 1440p offers a high level of clarity, it requires a lot more power from the graphics card than a 1080p resolution, which is why those who only play competitive games utilize it to gain higher FPS. Unlike the Gigabyte, it doesn't have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so it can't take full advantage of gaming consoles or moderngraphics cards, but that's the case with most 1440p monitors anyways. Besides its gaming performance, it's good foreveryday use as it has great reflection handling and high SDR peak brightness, enough to fight glare in a well-lit room. It also has wide viewing angles that keep the image consistent from the sides, which is great if you want to share the screen with a friend next to you.

So, while the HP X32 is more expensive than the norm and features a great panel combined with a high brightness ratio, its prices are still outside of the hybrid monitor’s price range, and as a result, we may expect a non-gamer-friendly refresh rate and response time. This monitor has the X line’s traditional design, with sturdy features and little to no eye-catching accents. It is a rather large monitor, so be sure you have enough desk space to accommodate it. No USB hub--I had gotten used to using work-issued Dell monitors that always had a built-in USB hub. So I kinda miss it but not a dealbreaker.Getting a 32-inch monitor has many benefits compared toasmaller display, as they offer more screen space tomultitask or for an immersive gaming experience. While theystill aren't as common as 27-inch displays, there are a ton of great 32-inch monitors to choose from. Additionally,they tend to have gaming features, and they usually have a 4k or 1440p resolution. Many premium 32-inch monitors have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take full advantage of modern graphics cards or gaming consoles, but even mid-range and budget options are versatile for different uses. Fortunately, the color fidelity of this screen surprised us in a positive way. It features vibrant colors and bright images, which are the result of an excellent panel and a high brightness ratio. To conclude, we can say that they plainly opted not to cater to gaming styles when designing the screen’s aesthetics. If you need anything more eye-catching, they already have it with the HP X27I. All performance specifications represent the typical specifications provided by HP's component manufacturers; actual performance may vary either higher or lower. Results may vary based on quality of the original picture/photo/video and difference between the previous monitor settings compared to the HP Enhance + mode. The Dell U3223QE is a productivity monitor with a bigger USB hub and more work-related features than the Gigabyte M32U. However, it doesn't have gaming features and costs more, so unless you need something only for work, it isn't worth considering over the Gigabyte.
