Review on Gigabyte AORUS Compatible Exclusive 2560X1440 DisplayPort 32", 165Hz, High Dynamic Range, Flicker-Free, AORUS FI32Q-SA, HD by Sam Murriel

Edit: January 2022. I have edited and greatly abridged my original review as it is somewhat disjointed, but the original two points stand. However, I'll speculate a bit more about my current thoughts: I'm a little annoyed with the HDR implementation. It just doesn't look that good. In comparison, the HDR on my LG C1 OLED TV is amazing. I'm no expert, but to be honest, this implementation of HDR gives HDR a bad name. HDMI 2.1 is all the rage these days, but the monitor only supports HDMI 2.0. If the rest of your toolchain is 2.1 you can still get up to 144 fps, but the only way to get 165 fps with this monitor is with a DisplayPort 1.4 cable. The Macbook support for this monitor is terrible. My Macbook Pro (before M1) may not recognize the monitor. It can send an image with colors (especially when another monitor is connected). He can create a hissing cat sound with his fan and restart. It's so damn unpredictable. But I'm not sure if this is the monitor's "fault" compared to Apple. Original review (with corrections): This monitor is great. It's stylish and its weight is well distributed. However, two minor flaws have caused this monitor to stray slightly from its full potential.1. USB-C support I love USB-C monitors, and this one doesn't have a USB-C.2 connector. HDRWindows has very poor dual monitor support, only one of which supports HDR. I usually disable HDR when using dual monitors to avoid this headache.
