The DCI-P3 color space is covered by 99 percent, which promises bright colors. Anyone who wants to connect several devices will be pleased with the KVM switch and the picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture modes.

RGB Fusion 2.0 provides lighting effects if required, while FreeSync Premium Pro acts as anti-tearing technology. Two internal 5-watt speakers are also part of the equipment. The so-called Tactical Switch presumably provides a night vision mode or switches to a 24-inch image with Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). The latter should massively increase the frame rate if required. Anyone who wants to can also easily update the Gigabyte FO32U2 firmware.

Regarding interfaces, the device offers two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB 3.0 hub. Additionally, it includes a headphone output, a microphone input, and USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode and 18-watt PD for versatile connectivity.

AI-based OLED Care is designed to prevent burn-in effects with its mechanisms. In addition, a three-year warranty is provided, which also takes burn-in into account. The Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2 weighs 6.2 kg without a stand and measures 718.3 x 417.5 x 57.2 mm (W x H x D).
