Very good monitor for the price, looks like the cheapest it's been seen on Ozbargain (not even including the keyboard)
Free keyboard via redemption, I messaged futu and they said they are a registered dealer to be able to claim this deal.

- Some people have had issues redeeming promotions from gigabyte in the past but I'm keeping my hopes high.
How quick.
Looks like 3 more back in stock, probably worth it to keep checking it.
3:23pm: Sold out again
3:37pm: 2 more in stock
3:47pm: Sold out again (I'm going to be slacker in checking now)
Damn that's a lot of monitor for the price. 1 left available!
Major difference between Curved / UW?
This better for gaming? UW for work station?
A lot of games do support ultrawide, just a larger field of view usually. Saying that I still prefer 16:9 in most instances. I do use an ultrawide at work though as a secondary monitor and it comes in handy to have some extra desktop space sometimes.
Also you also need to go larger to get the same height measurement, for example a 34" ultra wide will have the same screen height as a regular 27" monitor (but of course longer width) just something some people overlook.
If it is the same panel as the G27QC then I would give it a miss. Mine was horrendous for back light bleed and ghosting, couldn't live with it even for the cheap price I picked it up for.
Just looked up the differences. "The 32 inch model has a separate power brick rather than the inbuilt offering on the 27, it has a tiny bit higher color saturation, a tiny bit less height adjustment and a bit higher brightness. There is a distinction in the two HDR types with the 32" having HDR400."
Don't know if any of that would be a noticeable difference but there's some info.
Yeah I had a look at the rtings review and it gets marked down for the same things, bad black uniformity and black smearing.
This or xiaomi 34 inch?
Missed out. My bad for trying to watch a 20 minute review before dropping $400.
You should watch the reviews on all the monitors now so you're well informed for the next deal
I think if going 32" then 4K makes a big difference over 1440p.
If in a few months we start seeing ~$500 deals on high refresh rate 32" 4K IPS monitors then you won't feel bad about missing this at all, if anything you might have regretted getting this.
I wouldn't expect that too soon - hope I'm wrong though!
Damn it missed out.
Anyway, does anyone have any thoughts on running a dual side by side 32" set up?
Currently got a main middle display as Samsung 31.5" Curved Gaming Monitor (144hz) 2K display with 2 old Dell 21.5" 75hz FHD displays rotated to portrait mode on each side of the Samsung in a tri-monitor set up going on.
Dunno if a dual SBS 31.5"/32" set up would be overkill but the screen real estate is pretty nice to be honest
Anyone else with the proposed above setup?
I'm currently trying to decide between the following options
- 2x27inch (= 1 UW 49inch)
- 1x 34 inch UW
- 1x 32inch
- 2x 32inch
I have 25 UW as well - it will become a portrait monitor
In a way possibly the same end scenario as you. My friend suggested to go 2x32inch if you have a table that can support it and enough depth so you don't move the neck too much, otherwise 1x34 UW or 2x27inch is more ergonomic with a third vertical monitor.
Was following many of these deals to buy a curved monitor for work. Any high recommendations guys please?
Was actually cheaper during the 15% off promo with the after pay code. $479*0.85 = $407.15 last week.
Feedback from previous deals was to not trust Gigabyte with their redemption, apparently they have a bad record.
Just got my monitor today, went to redeem keyboard… "All items have been FULLY REDEEMED"
Stupid gigabyte :(
Gigabyte has a notorious record when it comes to redemption. Hope you are loving your new monitor though.
