Gigabyte M32Q 32" Gaming Monitor
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Gigabyte M32Q is a mid-range 32-inch gaming monitor powered by a 8bit, QHD SuperSpeed IPS panel with 94% DCI-P3 and 120% sRGB coverage, 1ms GTG response time, and 165Hz refresh rate.
Compared to AORUS-branded models, the M32Q uses a more traditional design, losing "gamey" RGB features, though its overall appearance may look relatively dull.
Nevertheless, the M32Q retains much of the advanced features found in recent high-end monitors: Besides the top line specs such as color gamut, response time, and refresh rate, the monitor's SuperSpeed IPS also delivers VESA DisplayHDR400-level HDR performance.
As usual with premium monitors these days, Gigabyte has endowed the M32Q with an integrated USB hub as well as a stand with height, tilt, and swivel adjustments.
