Consensus

our Verdict

The Gigabyte G32QC Curved Monitor is a great choice for gamers looking for an immersive experience. It has a 1440p QHD resolution, high contrast ratio, wide color gamut, excellent color accuracy, and HDR support for superb image quality. Plus, it has a high refresh rate, low input lag, and Freesync/G-Sync compatibility. However, it has some drawbacks – black uniformity is poor with bleeding at the top and bottom of the screen, and the viewing angles are sub-par. Additionally, the response time is slower in darker scenes causing motion blur, and the stand has limited adjustability.

ReasonS to Buy

High contrast ratio
Vast color gamut coverage
Swift refresh rate
Freesync and G-Sync compatible
Features HDR support
Support tilt and height adjustments

Reason to Avoid

Ergonomics are poor
Viewing angles aren’t up to standard
Slight ghosting in darker scenes and fast-paced games.
Disappointing black uniformity
