    Still annoyed the Gigabyte M32U is still above $610, which is still higher than the record low of $570 last year. You also have new entrants like MSI MAG323UPF that is priced cheaper and offers 165Hz refresh rates at 4K

      I know your comment is old, but I just had an epiphany recently. If you like a bit of hardware one year just wait for the black Friday deals the next year and get it.

      I came to this revelation when I saw the price of a monitor I bought for about 1k in January drop down to 600 on black Friday and I don’t even live in the US so our black friday deals are shit. I won’t be making the same mistake with the M32U.

        Well I just picked up the MAG321UPF and it came with a dead pixel on the top center and 2 other bad pixels. Also I realized why it is cheaper than a M32U. The thing has no speakers.

        I’m returning it today for a refund.

      Just a fair warning, make sure you go to a computer store in person and and make sure you want 32 inches, it can be quite big, I nearly made the mistake of buying one before realising I couldn’t stomach it.

        Yeah, 32" are heavy. I have a M32Q from a few years ago and I always make sure to use 2 hands and know where I moving it to and from. It also has 2 stuck pixels that every other week unstuck themselves for about a year now.

          I meant that it’s a big screen size not that I physically can’t lift 5lbs.

        32" is awesome, its very hard to go back to anything else for me. But people indeed need to understand that there is an ideal viewing ideal distance further away than most common monitors, that might not work with all kinds of desks. For me that’s 3ft/90cm ish.
