The Gigabyte M32U UHD gaming monitor, released in 2021, will soon have an improved successor model. The new Gigabyte M32UP 32″ 4K gaming display has an IPS panel with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) and achieves a maximum refresh rate of 160 instead of 144 Hz.
This time, the display only offers 8-bit color depth instead of 10-bit (8-bit + FRC). The DisplayHDR 400-certified screen also features a 160Hz refresh rate, 123% sRGB coverage, 90% DCI-P3, a typical brightness of 350 cd/m², and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.
The IPS panel monitor features two built-in 3-watt speakers, a black stabilizer, a crosshair overlay, an FPS display, and picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture modes. Aim Stabilizer Sync enables Adaptive Sync to prevent screen tearing while simultaneously reducing motion blur.
The interface options include two HDMI 2.1 inputs and a DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC). It also has a USB 3.2 hub, a headphone jack, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort alternate mode and 18W power delivery. A KVM switch allows easy switching between two connected devices without constantly changing cables. Ergonomic features include tilt, rotation, height adjustment, VESA mount compatibility (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and a flicker-free backlight.
