32" Gigabyte M32UC gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The monitor has a VESA mount. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Gigabyte M32UC has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. For graphics color quality, the Gigabyte M32UC has an excellent color depth of 10 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. In terms of pixel density, the Gigabyte M32UC has an excellent density of 139 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The Gigabyte M32UC has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Gigabyte M32UC has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The Gigabyte M32UC is a relatively new monitor. The brightness of Gigabyte M32UC is significantly better than other monitors. Gigabyte M32UC has an excellent contrast ratio of 2776 : 1. For the average response rate, the Gigabyte M32UC scores 8.7 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. Gigabyte M32UC has a total input lag of 17.2 ms, which is bad among the competition. The minimum response rate of Gigabyte M32UC is 3.7 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects.
