Also I game on Series X. Would be going from a 1080p Benq, so I’m sure I would be satisfied with it as long as the response time isn’t any greater than my current monitor..

      That's a great question. You might look at something that is a bit more color accurate if you are doing any photo or video work. ViewSonic has fantastic displays for that. Otherwise if you don't then you will probably be happy with the G70A or this over a 1440p monitor. They are color accurate enough for most every day work.

    • @BainCustom
      @BainCustom  2 года назад +1

      It is for sure a fantastic monitor. It can be a bit on the darker side for brightness, but motion, color and so on are all top notch. Each manufacturer has their fair share of QC problems. So I can only chalk the white noise up to a bad connection inside the monitor. That is why I always use an external speaker though, monitor speakers are never that great.

      @@BainCustom Yeah, I've just asked for a new replacement (at 480 EUR it's a great deal). Unfortunately, the sound issue was very annoying, the only way to put a stop to it was to mute the monitor. I've tried connecting my laptop via type-c and then manually setting the audio output to my laptop and the noise was there, I've also tried to use my Xbox wireless headphones (with xbox audio muted as a result) but the noise kept on going. In the end, I wasn't planning on using the monitor's speakers, but for 500 EUR (which is already heavily discounted) I couldn't bear the idea of having forcibly to mute the audio to avoid this fault. BTW agree with everything else, it's a great monitor (maybe not worth 700/800 EUR in 2022 anymore), but it's a great deal with current prices!

    • @BainCustom
      @BainCustom  3 года назад

      Oh fantastic question! Because you use multiple systems and the price of the M32U is higher, I would absolutely tell you to go with the Nitro (or AOC). I say that because the Acer Nitro has an edge in color. On paper it doesn't say so, but in real world usage it did for me. I have a comparison video coming out. I will just say the Acer took the slight edge on most factors for me, but I didn't like the price to performance vs the M28U. But you don't have that problem.

      @@BainCustom Hi, funny thing I actually returned the display because I felt it was to plastic for my taste. Instead I made some more research and settle for the Acer predator XB323QKNV, and I know you don't get the most for the money, however, I really like this monitor its a all arounder. I got the monitor for 699$ and it usually cost around 900$. I didn't like the stand on the monitor in this review, and a arm would cost near 100$, so it made more sense to go for a slight better display and at the same time get a better stand as well larger screen size. The display I currently have is really good, no blooming, black to white pixel response 3-4 ms and grey to grey 0.5 -1 ms, wider dci-p3 colour gamut(98%), better calibration out of the box, ambilight behind the monitor which can be set at 6500k Kelvin. Plus it can respond to what happens on the screen. The only downside, no full array local dimming, and no HDR 1000. However, I wont spend more than what my tv cost to get a monitor with HDR 1000 certification.

    I'm between this one and m24u. It's for gaming and programming. I found today Acer is a bit less expensive than the m28u but ignoring the price fact, do you still recommend the m24u over the XV282K? I'm asking this question because perhaps you found a different configuration or a firmware update that improved results.
    My concern is the ghosting and blurring. Also looks like the XV282K has 65w usb c power delivery vs 15w for the m24u but for an m1 macbook 15w should be "ok".

    • @sstawecki
      @sstawecki 2 года назад

      ​@@JesusICS I ended up buying the M28U, I'm using it with my M1 Macbook PRO 16", since it is an apple silicon, the power consumption is very low so you can use only one cable as power supply, audio/video output, and also using the USB ports from the display as usb hub, so my logitech pro x superlight dongle is plugged to it. There is another data cable that goes to my windows computer, so by pressing the KVM button I can switch very easily from the windows PC to the macbook. Regarding to the screen nits with the firmware update and ghosting...I couldn't find any issue, I mean...it's ALL we need, I'm using only one cable and that does everything. Make sure the thunderbolt cable is the one with 40gbps, not 20gbps, AND also the USB C compatibility (display option) is turned OFF, very important, otherwise you won't be able to run 4k 144hz in your macbook. Regarding to a windows PC, use the displayport 8k cable that comes with the display. If you cannot run 4k 144hz with that cable, could be because your videocard does not support DSC (display port compression technology) I had a vega 56 and did not suport that, so I had to upgrade my videocard as well 🤷‍♂. If you're using a non m1 laptop that consumes more energy, the M28U with the thunderbolt cable won't be good enough as the only power supply source. It's just 15watts, works for my use case but if you're using the full bright and maybe stressig the CPU (I can't imagine how to do that with the m1 pro) maybe you should consider another alternative. If you need any clarification, I'm here to help. Good luck!

      @@sstawecki the Gigabyte does not charge it really. It only runs at 15W whereas the Acer runs at 65W. The Gigabyte will pretty much just slow charge or maintain during sleep or run off battery which is strong enough to handle a lot.
      15W would be like trying to use their 20W adapters (usually now for their phones and iPads), but weaker, to charge a laptop. The included MagSafe I believe is 100W.
      Either way, the battery is incredible in it and requires very little thought. I love MagSafe but also want to keep ports. Using HDMI 2.1 and MagSafe keeps open 3 USB-4/TB spots open. Back up drive, Arturia synth, and audio interface (everything else BT)

      My personal opinion is that it has a better price to performance ratio than the XV282K.

The Acer is a better monitor, but price wise the Gigabyte is a better deal for the performance. That is my take anyway.

      I can see that. You moved from a monitor that is not really a full gaming monitor, focused on color performance, to a gaming monitor that focuses more on high refresh rate and hdmi 2.1 compatibility. I don't know the full spec of the previous monitor, but while it may lack in motion and features, it makes up for in picture quality. But that picture quality may go out the window depending on the games that you play.

    Hey man!
    I’m not too sure if you’ll see this but I’ll go ahead and ask my question anyways.
    I’ve recently purchased the Xbox Series X and I’m looking to optimize my gaming experience to the max. Originally I was planning on purchasing a 2k 144hz HDR monitor to go along side with my XSX. My understanding of the XSX is that it can achieve 4k HDR 60fps+ so I was under the impression that I could achieve 2k HDR 120FPS easily.
    The problem is tho, that the more I read and do research on and about the series X ,the more I’m confused with its capabilities. Will games on XSX support 2k 120fps? What about 1440p HDR? Is it worth just buying a 4k monitor and playing 60+fps at this point? Fundamentally, I’m FPS>Resolution and would love to find the perfect balance for Series X gaming.
    I would appreciate any feedback and would love to hear your personal opinion on which route to go.
    Thanks for the time man, and keep up the work!

    • @casino9240
      @casino9240 3 года назад

      Yes, the XBSX will support 1440p at 120 fps.
      You stated “FPS>Resolution”….that said, your best bet is to find a monitor that is 27inch, 1440p 144hz. Most games right now that are focused on 4k res, are targeting 30fps. (Elden Ring for example) So forking out a premium price for 4k high refresh panels (that imo are still very premature) is just not worth it yet. I digress….there is so much to answer with your question, so as not to break RUclips’s character limit world record lol, I’ll answer in short…..
      If 27inch gaming is what you want, look no further than the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD.
      If you want 4k HDR….Do what everyone else in the gaming world is doing, and wait until LG makes their C1/OLED next year at 42 inch. ;).

    • @BainCustom
      @BainCustom  3 года назад +2

      I do appreciate the above comment. Everybody approaches this issue a bit differently. That said, most of the games I play are optimized for 4k and 120hz. Mainly because I play other games on PC so I can take advantage of the graphics, multitasking and higher frame rates.
      Because of that I choose either a high quality 1440p monitor or one of the HDMI 2.1 4k monitor options.
      The only downside to 1440p 120hz for the XSX is that some games are poorly optimized for HDR and/120hz. So you will either revert to 1080p 120hz HDR, downscaled 4k 60hz HDR or poor quality 1440p 120hz.
      Like the above comment says, you might be better off with a 48C1, but I could make a good argument for the Gigabyte M28U because price. Although the G70A is on sale right now too.
