To clear up any confusion, Gigabyte owns the Aorus brand, and several Aorus monitors are already on the market. This, however, marks the first "Gigabyte" branded model, hence the title :-)
Ok moves
i was right about to comment that thanks for clarifying
Makes sense. I was wondering quite what you meant by the title as I knew you'd know of the Aorus monitors
You did good Salazar.
You did fine Greg.
How well does it display the activate Windows watermark
That thing shows up even on my old garbage VGA monitor
It's compatible with buying a windows key.
Hahaha nice one
I got mine about a month ago. Great monitor so far. The contrast ratio is very nice. Super dark blacks. Factory calibration wasnt too far off. I never noticed the wobble until you said something. I moved up from a 1080p/60hz panel from 10 years ago. Night and day. 1440 is awesome. Bought a 2080 super to run it. I would recommend the monitor for sure.
I got 2 of these to replace my 2 1080p 60Hz displays. How are you getting on with the ghosting? It’s a little distracting when playing games where there are black outlines or smaller black/dark objects and you’re living quickly, at least from my experience
How’s the ghosting ?
Did you face any kind of back-light issues ? I read a lot of reviews and some of them reported that sometimes the back-light LEDs won't light up (half of the screen won't light up or the middle ..etc).
are there any problems with response times? I saw some other people saying they had trouble with smearing
This or the lg gk650f 32" 2k 144hz panel I'm so confused

Greg Salazar the power of the comma! Education can be fun/funny, see!!!
Greg Salazar how tf do you deal with all these childish trolls that think they know everything and have zero regard for anyone but themselves ?
Have had mine for over a month, and I love it. The price is really nice too
Did you face any kind of back-light issues ? I read a lot of reviews and some of them reported that sometimes the back-light LEDs won't light up (half of the screen won't light up or the middle ..etc).
@@soly8354 None of that with mine. Its been great
Hav you delt with much ghosting or blur trail?
@@Jokingghost6168 Yeah, any ghosting?
I like external AC adapter, very easy and cheap to replace if it dies and it's less heat inside the monitor.
Do we need a pc to use this monitor?
I genuinely just bought a pair and got them on Monday. extremely worth getting, though, I'm using a dual monitor mount on my desk, not the included stands, no wobble on my end.
What stand are you using? I'm looking to get a pair too
@@jamiefoster5320 VIVO full motion dual monitor desk clamp for 32 in monitor support
Have you had any problems?
Nope.
@Jesse Pinkman Mine are still kicking just fine, haven't had issues
Bought this monitor on release, and I really like it. The latest windows release caused the colors to look washed out with HDR enabled, but rolling back resolved that issue.
Greg: talking monitors
Me: awww look at the big kitty and the birdies
Stuck or dead pixels are an instant return for me.
Very few have had this issue though. Got mine a few days ago, all pixels are good.
Honestly, coming from a 1080p 60hz, this thing was an absolute steal for 370$ Very pleased with the bang for buck I got.
Nice. I would be inclined to get one if it was 27". 32" is a bit on the "living room TV" side of things for me.
If you have a large enough desk you can push it back farther than you would have a 27 inch, but if you dont have enough room then 27 inch is probably better
There is a 27" version
@@heyitsdazy Nice. I might get one.
@@heyitsdazy My desk is 47" currently on a 21" 60hz 1080p tv lol (yes I know) should I go for the 27" or 32" or should I just get a 28" 4k 60hz monitor lmfaoo
Damn and here I am looking at reviews if it's worth to compromise for such a small display. Wish there were decent 40 inch options
Have had this for about a month now. Only knit picks I have is swapping inputs can be a challenge because it will almost immediately switch away from a signal not found source. Like when I go from Xbox to PC, the PC hesitates to output and the monitor immediately swaps to the "active" input. No wobble on mine btw.
Definitely a great monitor imo.
How is this monitor with your Xbox? What resolutions/refresh rates are you playing with? Im thinking of getting it for Xbox Series X. Thanks:)
@@voyddd it's pretty fantastic imo. But I either game from my bed on a 65" TV or this monitor. Either pc or xbox. I enjoy sitting in front of the monitor more and the response is better on the monitor as well. It's large enough to actually be effective for things like COD at normal seating distance.
@@voyddd oh and 1080/30 or 1080/60 from the original xbox I can't remember. But from my pc I run 1440p 165hz via a 3700x and 5700xt.
@@brettcombs774 Awesome, thanks for the info:)
I just bought 2 of these for my setup, and as of today June 4th 2021, they are $299 at Best Buy.
Same. I’m gonna pick mine up today
Do you have the xss or xsx to go with it? Or just a pc?
@@Speedy.2ss I'm just running both of them off the PC. Not too sure what the xss is honestly.
how has it been?
@@fyqh They've been working great still. I have them paired now with a Zotac 4070 ti and still working like champs.
4:34 "Ghosting in a Nutshell" ha, I like what you did there. Not sure if it was intentional, but 10 pts for the movie reference
That's a *_C H O N K Y_* stand
Chonky yet wiggly!
@@michaelbooth981 You get what you pay for.
Lol Gigabyte, its 2020. Even the old Acer Xb271hu can integrate the power brick inside monitor.
@@fynkozari9271 why are you replying in this comment chain
I just bought this monitor and honestly it was one of the selling points for me because I owned the Samsung 32in curved and I pushed away from my desk to stand up(not crazy hard I thought it was just like any other time I did it) and my monitor fell and broke. So very disappointed to see this review of the screen wobble. All the reviews on Amazon and the few videos I did watch never mentioned this. Is a structurally secure monitor just too much to ask for in 2020?
External power supplies is smart engineering, because if it goes bad, you only have to replace the power brick, not the entire monitor. Noob.
yup, but not only that, it saves weight when being mounted
What I like the most about this unit is the keyboard control hotkeys
Just want to thankyou greg for your windows activation key link. I’ve used it more times than I can count and it works every time 😎
Thanks for the support!
free windows? how!!
@@pkflex1614 Not free he has a sponser who sells the for like $14 which is a HUGE discount compared to buying it elsewhere. I think they're like 100+ at Walmart.
@@Stephen_Viele they're like $5 on ebay lol
Still using mine did buy an adjustable stand for it tho
I got the G27QC.. Love it.
So did I. Just wish the ghosting wasn't as noticeable. Then again I'm coming from a TN panel.
Aerith same. I noticed it as well... But the colors made up for it 10 fold. How are you enjoying it, otherwise?
Aerith I also came from a TN panel.
@@MattsShadow I'm loving it! It's a huge upgrade from where I came from.
Aerith should I get the gigabyte or aoc cq27g2?
Greg is Pepsi bullying you?? You can tell us, this is a safe space. Excellent review 👍
I totally agree on the power adapter... there is just no reason to do it that way. I don't know for sure, but my guess is that it would even be cheaper for them to make the monitor a tiny bit larger to fit a small PCB in there rather than to put it into an external plastic box and an additional cable.
Perfect for tarkov love the equalizer option ! Just picked one up so stoked
Yes, more 32" monitors! My upgrade time is nearing I see.

@@scottstamm7022 Thanks i'll look into it. Gonna have to wait till these all get back in stock apparently anyway, the 2 26" ones I have have lasted 10 years, whats another month or so to add a 3rd?
@@zi0x_ Also the new Samsung one that's coming out to check out before I buy one.
Any good-budget 4k HDR monitors for PS5?
ASIAN HAVOC for console, like a 50+” tv prob best.
Looks pretty nice but I don’t get down on curved screens. Bummer about the stuck pixel though
I felt the same about curved panels too, but it's done in good taste on this monitor. The 1500R curve is the sweet spot for a panel this size. I use a flat panel still for work, and am starting to like the curve more than it now. Never thought I'd say that either, but it's true.
4:31 when RUclips is only 30 fps and you can't tell the difference
Actually 60 fps, but still can't tell the difference :D
I wouldn’t say you’re picky, more like an experienced user well versed in best practices.
Just got this for $299 on Amazon right now thanks for the review!
Nice review. Would of liked to see some coverage of the software, so just some CC for any monitors you check out :)
Great video. Just picked up one of these for $270 on Amazon
Slightly more expensive than my 1440p 27in dell gsync. Would be a nice upgrade with the 3000 series coming soon and CyberPunk
I just bought one I’m hoping it would be good, the other two monitors that I bought both had FreeSync flickering issues
How is it? Especially the ghosting
Amazon is $600, also how do you feel about the other companies like Vioetek and AOC? They make same VA curved monitors for $200-$300
The biggest difference is that the Gigabyte gets brighter. It was the deciding factor for me. Got this monitor last week, and it's awesome. It should only be $340 on amazon right now.
Might buy this for my Xbox series x, thoughts?
Cool review style....enjoyed it....tired of the corporate....polished....bullsheet on YT. This monitor is 299 on newegg right now....thinking about snagging one.
Hey, thanks to you I got Windows 10 Pro for $14! Nice!
You can definitely tell a 60fps camera recording of a high refresh rate panel compared to a 60hz/75hz one because of the beautiful phenomenon of motion blur. Quite evident in this video.
We need to know if this panel has the response times to actually display 165hz properly. I hope hardware unboxed reviews it.
They already did. The response time isn't great
What are the best settings for this? Just bought mine and am disappointed with the picture quality... I have an Acer 32" 1080p curved that cost less than half and it looks so much better...
I've had it for a week, and flat out love it. It's exceeded all of my expectations, money well spent.
Surely you curved out love it 😝
I have one of these and can say it is hell of panel. I paired it with my old asus 1080 60hz one and used it as a second monitor. I am planing on another stand after i finish the desk I am building.
How’s the ghosting during gaming
You did good Greg.
I just bought one of these 2 days ago. I've watched the video twice before and now twice again after while I wait. I can't wait for it to arrive.
How is it?
@@pakirambo7 it is quite nice. I mainly play horror and rpgs, and on this monitor they come out beautiful. The curve is hardly noticable 2.5-3 feet from my face. I typically ignore the hdr, but the wide color gamut makes up for it. It was well worth the price and is 40$ off on Amazon and newegg as of 10/13/2020. There are probably better deals if you just wanted a 144+ hz display, though.
@@brycekillor318parker6 did you notice any any back-light bleed?
@@pakirambo7 yes, but it's not deal breaking for me. I only noticed it when the screen is all black. Back-light bleed kinda something you have to deal with at this price point and if it has a curve.
@@brycekillor318parker6 I appreciate your advice bro, im going to go for it. Switching from 27inch, 1080p, 60hz
Just got this monitor on New Egg for $314. This will be a great upgrade from my 1080p VA curved MSI Optix MAG270VC.
I bought this monitor for my series x and it is very pixelated
Very good monitor review 👍
I bought one on July 5th it'll be delivered tomorrow. This makes me pretty okay with the purchase thx.
How’s the monitor? Ghosting ?
@@Raj-ti1xe I love it so far! I don't notice any ghosting. I'm sure if I put it along side a really high end panel I would notice but it's honestly great. The only complaint I have is sometimes when it wakes up after being turned off by windows, I get sections of the screen that are dark. I have to manually restart the screen with the off button then it's fine. Seems like a software issue Idk.
@@egustafson also does it do 1440p 120 FPS through the HDMI port ?
@@Raj-ti1xe im not sure I'm at 165hz through display port
@@Raj-ti1xe Yes, and 144hz via HDMI as well. I just got it a few days ago, it's awesome.
I have this monitor and it’s pretty great ngl, great features for the price! Also the monitor wobble might just be your model.
Picked this up yesterday for 270 USD. Its amazing for the price. Absolute beast when you boost it to 170hz.
Do we need a pc to use this monitor?
I play alot of flight sims would you recommend this monitor or the Aorus cv27q? I dont know what one to buy help!!!! 🙏🏼 I need one that has crisp picture with great colours which out of these 2 has the best ? I also looked at the asus strix xg32vqr
adding a phased flicker so the panel is on longer than its off could go a long way!
Try the Samsung Odyssey G7, this is the fastest VA panel ever made in 1440p. :p
Just used your affiliate link to re-activate Windows, thought you ought to know ;-)
$370?? Its $588 on Amazon rn. It is 370 on newegg, though
Center com was 599 AUD
1:00 much better to have an external than internal, if it fails you can just go buy another for nothing.
True, but power supply should have quality check and design to withstand long usage without failing.
Greg zalaraz deservers a lot more views. Love ur vids♥️
this is posted 1 min ago of course there is barely any views
Greg who? 😆
Adorable cat
Nevr liked triangle/three leg stands, they take up more desk space and don't fit in all situations. ASUS square'ish monostand is nice.
It seems pretty steep. Think ill grab an MSI
The shake in the monitor would be great for Sim Racing though
Does the low response time really affect games like csgo? I want this monitor but I play a lot of csgo and I don’t wanna be at a disadvantage due to response times
This looks exactly like my Dell S3220DGF. No external adapter with the Dell though.
Monitor wobbles when you type? That's what the VESA mount is for, just put it on the wall.

please, bro can u make a video or tell me, what settings do u use in your monitors bc i have the same but my screen quality isnt very good, i mean, can u tell me the contrastn, color vibrance, etc do u use ? thanks !!!!
is this a good second monitor to a 38" ultrawide?
Do you have a link to the tools you used to test this monitor (UFO, dead pixels, etc)?
can you try the black frame insertion feature on an actual game and not some low fps youtube video? just curious
I mean kinda wierd the power brick is that big... in my 27 inch version of this monitor, it doesnt have that.
Looks cool tbh
It’s a bizarre world when tv’s processing is superior to monitors. There was a time, like my first 20 years or so of life, where monitors were often up to 3-4x the resolution of tv’s and even when 1080p HD tv’s we’re coming the processing on monitors were always far superior.
What? Well it's 2 am and this is already the most retarded comment I will read today.
Nick Armitt lets go ahead and skip past your retort and get to the point. What exactly do you not understand? Are you capable of making coherent arguments or objecting to a comment in a coherent fashion ? What do you not understand? What do you find “retarded” ? I’m not explaining the entire basis of display tech to you and you clearly have no idea of the educational and professional background of people you choose to get snarky with so let’s get to it. The onus is on you. What’s your issue with my comment. Respond above a 2nd grade reading level or I’m not engaging you further.
240v against 110v is probably why you get an external power brick. Saves on costs to the customers is what I’m guessing.
have you done the asus tuf gaming vg32vq1b curved gaming monitor?
Didn´t see a video on his chamnel. I would like to see a comparison between this and the Asus TUF vg32vq. Can´t decide between this two monitors which to buy.
which one is better this or lg 32qn600
How long is the DP cable in feet/inches? When you push this monitor all the way down, how tall is it? I need to fit a monitor into a space thats 19.25 inches high. Thanks for your help.
Pushed all the way down is only 18" high so it should fit with room to spare. The DP cable that comes with it is only 5' so you might have to buy a longer cable.
Yay, another Greg Salazar video.
why first??, they also have Aorus branded gaming monitors
Get this for 270$, I think it was a good price
Is this good for next gen console? Im aiming to play on 1440p 120hz instead of 4k 60fps

Wobbling monitors is a big no no, even with typing?! No matter the price or overall quality
Ain't half bad? Overshoot error is almost 100% at max overdrive. To fix that, lower the overdrive, then the response time is like 30-40ms? "Ain't half bad" - A completely crap monitor. :D
than whats a good monitor for its price?
anyone else have a problem with this monitor ? im using display port and it turns off by itself and i have to unplug and plug the cable back in for it to work
Got mine yesterday. In a nutshell: it's terrible. The amount of inverse ghosting makes it literally unusable for faster games. Even Tarkov looks horrific up and that's not exactly fast. If you just play RTS or ARPG's then this monitor *might* just be ok. Even scrolling on web sites makes all the text leave nasty trails. Sending mine back. Biting the bullet and going for the Odyssey G7.
@Jesse Pinkman not sure what they were smoking but it's terrible. The guy that picked up mine when I returned it said 'ha that's the third one of these I've returned since Christmas'. So can't just be me. Just got the Odyssey G7 and it's phenomenal. Performance that matches my TN panel with far better colours, brightness etc. Can't see any ghosting, overshoot or dark level smearing at all.
@Jesse Pinkman perhaps their idea of acceptable is different to mine. Perhaps the particular panel I had was bad. Who knows. All I know is, coming from a TN panel to the Gigabyte was so bad..for me it was pretty much unusable. Any kind of motion on the screen caused some nasty visual defects. *some* is acceptable, no monitor is perfecf. but for me I just couldn't use it. Maybe people have higher tolerances for what they deem acceptable.
what about aorus?
That's what I said.
Does this monitor have build in speaker?
Gigabyte G32QC or Dell S3220DGF Can't decide :)
