Gigabyte Aorus FI32U 4K UHD Gaming Monitor with HDMI 2.1

Last month the Gigabyte Aorus FI32U best 4k gaming monitor 2021 appeared. A little later, there was the first sparse information directly from the manufacturer – and now an official product page has finally been put online, which provides extensive key data. We take this as an opportunity to take a closer look at the new Gigabyte monitor at this point.

The 31.5-inch 144hz monitor is equipped with an IPS panel, has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K), and has DisplayHDR 400 certification. Further features are a 1000: 1 contrast ratio, 1 ms response time (gray to gray), a maximum of 144 Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth ( 8 bit + FRC ), and a typical luminance of 350 cd/m². If a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S / X is connected to the Aorus FI32U monitor, 4K at 120 Hz and 4: 2: 0 color subsampling can be used via one of the HDMI 2.1 interfaces.

Speaking of connections: Specifically, the device has two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4 (including DSC), a USB 3.0 hub, a headphone output, a microphone input, and a USB-C port. KVM switch functionality is also provided so that two end devices can be operated with the same mouse-keyboard combination without the hassle of reconnecting. In addition, picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture modes can be switched on via OSD.

Another special feature is Aim Stabilizer Sync, which makes it possible to use sync technology against tearing (presumably FreeSync) at the same time as a mode against motion blur. Incidentally, ALLM (“Auto Low Latency Mode”) and VRR (“Variable Refresh Rate”) can be used via HDMI 2.1. The device also features 123% sRGB, 90% DCI-P3, ESS Saber sound chip, active noise suppression (ANC 2.0), dynamic lighting effects (RGB Fusion 2.0), and so on features are put it in the segment of the best 4k gaming monitor 2021.
