The Gigabyte M32U is an excellent gaming monitor, especially for Xbox Series S|X or Sony PS5 gamers. It has outstanding low input lag, resulting in a very responsive gaming experience. It also has an excellent response time when gaming at 120Hz, so there's very little blur behind fast-moving objects. It supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology (VRR), and although it's not officially supported, it also works with NVIDIA's G-SYNC Compatible feature. It's also fully compatible with the PS5, and it supports most formats from the Xbox Series X.

The biggest reason to go ahead with the Gigabyte M32U despite the number of little foibles that shouldn’t be coming at this price is the screen size. If you like to sit far back or want a monitor that almost doubles as a TV in a small bedroom with 4K/120Hz support for consoles, you won’t find many other quality 4K gaming monitors of this size. It’s a good display, but we’d hope for a few more upgrades to merit the $800 price tag when high refresh rates and excellent color accuracy can be found for a fraction of that price just by ditching 4K.

The Gigabyte M32U gaming monitor costs a lot but offers a lot in return, though in certain key areas competing models give it a run for its money (and yours).
