Very good material with these HDR settings. I'm currently playing Horizon Forbidden West on PS5, and the image is displayed on the Gigabyte M32U monitor. Could you advise me how to best set HDR on the console and game so as not to have too warm colors? What I mean is that with HDR turned on, Aloy's face looks too pink, the same with the faces of other characters, while the sun is shining brightly in the game. Best regards and thank you if you answer. Regards.
I use the M32UC for my Playstation 5. It looks really nice but do you have any specific settings tips for it? Also, i really dont know is i should have HDR on or off.. i read alot about it but everyone are so devided. What do you recommend? Thanks.
The M32UC is very different to this model and I haven't tested so can't advise on specifics. But just generally, you should feel free to make your own adjustments based on taste and your individual unit. See for example our 'Test Settings' on the M32U - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m32u/#Calibration. Aside from to brightness, the changes made are minimal. These settings tick boxes we have as a reviewer such as colour balance and gamma and give a fairly vibrant but well-balanced image. Without shade crushing or other issues. But the reason there are so many additional settings to tweak is because people have their own preferences. 🙂
@@PCMonitors thanks for the prompt reply. But everytime system restarts, the N/A is there again. Thanks bro, I ll dig deeper to why this is happening else a fresh install of everything.
Is there a possibility to reset a firmware update on a Gigabyte monitor? I have the M32U and updated from F02 to F10 and the input lag is better but the overall image quality is much worse. I have gamma, contrast and brightness issues and colors are more glowing in brighter and darker scenes. When I start a game from the menu on the PS5 the screen gets crazy bright. And is there a way to find out what RGB, 6 axis colors and vibrancy settings the sRGB mode uses?
Sounds more like it's running HDR and was running SDR before? The firmware revisions shouldn't make those kind of changes, which is why they don't include old versions or a roll-back feature. If needed you could contact Gigabyte and they might be able to give you an older firmware.
@@PCMonitors hmm it feels a little bit like it and I have HDR off in the console and the monitor says SDR. Somehow I think it's something that is not calibratable and is more like a real brightness issue and the monitor is not working correctly. Normal picture for example in the menu is more lets say dull from contrast or gamma and when I click on the game it's starts glowing in comparison.
@@PCMonitors on the Aorus site is older firmware but when I download an older firmware then it's a .bin data file and I don't know what I have to do with it.
Heya is it at all possible to edit the internal values for OSD? i have a M32UC and really want to use the "Super Resolution" as it just feels a bit nicer but i noticed that even at just 1 it adds too much artifacting to the image, is it possible to get into it at all and change it to like .5?
Afraid not, you can only use the preset values. You gain more flexibility if you adjust the 'Sharpness' control in the 'Picture' section as well or instead.
@@PCMonitors Oh your right! Sharpness does essentially the same thing and dosnt cuase as many issues! Still too bad theres no way to edit the software itself and i imagine there is a way but way too complicated for me for sure. Thanks cha! It is kinda odd they even offer both since sharpness does the same thing, mabye its for someone who wants to combine the two? Yeesh even at just 1 it makes the image quality take a bit of a dive
The 32GQ950 offers a higher level of HDR support (VESA DisplayHDR 1000) and includes an A-TW polariser that reduces 'IPS glow'. The LG also has a more generous colour gamut, so it can be output things in a more vibrant way - but will also oversaturate most SDR content. People have their own preference on which image representation they'd prefer. Both models offer similar overall respnosiveness and contrast (aside from reduced 'IPS glow' on the LG). The LG comes at a signifcant price premium over the M32U, though the difference is greater in some markets than others. The Gigabyte is worth its asking price and I certainly recommend it - pcmonitors.info/recommendations/gaming-monitors/. The LG, not so sure about to be honest. You're partly paying for the 'high HDR tier' - but performance at that tier is embarassingly poor as it only has 32 zone local dimming in an edge-lit arrangement. Most HDR1000 tier displays have an FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) or Mini LED backlight with much finer control of the backlight. The LG can go nice and bright, but it can't properly dim darker shades dotted around the screen at the same time. It will often make the image appear 'flooded' under HDR as a result, it's a really poor effort for DisplayHDR 1000 to be honest and they should've stuck with a reduced peak brightness or increased the zone count substantially.
@@PCMonitors Thank you i was looking which one to by i am more looking at the gigabyte M32U but for the LG 32GQ95 as for the price it would make more since to go with the 32 inch neo odyssey g7. will you be doing a g7 review like how you done it with showing the games like call of duty type games and shadow of the tomb raider on one of your other reviews on this monitor
No plans to review the Samsung but not a definite no (their PR team here in the UK is terrible, partly the issue there). I've got a thread where I share my thoughts on it, I do agree it looks like a nice option for strong HDR. But it doesn't have the same colour quality as the Gigabyte and some people really dislike the curve (is of course subjective) - forum.pcmonitors.info/topic/samsung-odyssey-neo-g8-s32bg85-and-neo-g7-s32bg75-review-notes/.
Hi, when i choose 2560x1440 resolution on the nvidia configuration screen, my monitor doesn´t go into that resolution like it does in your video in the display portion. Do you know what my cause this? when i choose 1920x1080 it does change...
Make sure your display is set to control scaling in Nvidia Control Panel. Also see if the refresh rate you select makes a difference (sometimes it does).
@@PCMonitors Thanks for your quick reply! Do you mean choosing between aspect ratio, fuill-screen, no scaling or integer scaling? Because that doesn't change sadly. When I change the refresh rate to 60hz it does, but id like 144hz ofcourse...
"Perform scaling on: Display" needs to be selected on that screen. It probably is given what you've said... Not sure why it's not performing scaling for you at 144Hz for 2560 x 1440 - assuming you're using DP?
@@PCMonitors thanks for your reply. That's really stupid that they don't let it be adjusted as some games do not position the reticle directly in the center.
I've tested quite a few monitors with similar features and you can rarely adjust the position. ASUS models usually let you do this for example,models from most other manufacturers don't. Agree it's weird they even let you draw your own custom crosshair in this case, but not change its position.
@@PCMonitors I currently have a MSI mag322cr and it can be adjusted. I figured the adjustability was common thing if the crosshair was an option. That's unbelievable that they assume every game has the exact same reticle placement!
No, like practically all monitors it uses a regular interpolation process. Integer scaling can be enforced in the GPU driver (Nvidia only I believe) - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m32u/#Interpolation_and_upscaling.

Hi I’m using the M32U for my Series X and have heard that the monitor doesn’t come with the largest firmware, so how to I update it if I’m on console?
If you don't notice any issues, there's really no need to update it. But you need a Windows PC to do so via the process shown in the video.
@@PCMonitors can I use a mini PC I have one with windows 10 do I just plug it in and do the update
Yup that will work. You need to connect a USB cable to the monitor's USB-B (square-shaped port labelled 'SS') and use OSD Sidekick to do it.
@@PCMonitors okay I’m a do that later today and if I struggle I’ll get back to you bro
Hallo how to adjust the fps? Mine is always 60 fps and I cannot find how to increase it. If anyone can advise would be appreciated
You set the refresh rate on your system. In Windows, the graphics driver or game for example.
