Might be the cheapest a 4k/144hz monitor has been? IPS with good speed, colour, brightness.
Refurb unit, but includes "3 years Premium Panel Warranty, Advanced Exchange Service Warranty", which should help if there are panel defects.
I pulled the trigger, keen to upgrade from 27" 1080p!
Yeah the Q doesn't have usb c + pd if that matters, but 4k seems like potentially a big advantage for ppi/real estate at this size
The thing is, I don't have a device that needs PD.. and I won't be able to use the 4K resolution since this will sit next to a 55 inch TV… and I will be sitting 2 meters away….
Why have a PC monitor and TV side by side, out of curiosity? Is it in a bedroom?
What's a good monitor even 27" and 2k is fine that has USB C PD? USB HUB is a super plus to have too. Would be great to have some recos please. Thank you
Have a look at the AOC Q32P2C, though it is 31.5". The only downside is no speaker.
Decent price!
I'm looking for a Curved 32" 120Hz for my PS5… still nothing under $1k :(
Any reason in particular you are looking for curved? I spent a bit of time with a 27" curved panel and didn't love the curve, but maybe it makes more sense at 32".
I have a curved 32" 4K 60Hz monitor on my sim rig and it's a perfect size, just need a better refresh rate.
Also have a 34" Ultrawide on my desk, previously have had flat 27" monitors & agree flat is better in the smaller size.
The Neo G8 is the best one you can get but not under $1k.
Waiting for this to go down I guess? https://www.jw.com.au/product/gigabyte-m32uc-31-5-4k-144hz-c…
This one is also HDMI 2.1 4K - but I don't know if it supports PS5 at 120hz

Yeah there’s 4-5 models, all around $1k or more.
My Dell S3221QS was under $450…
I'd bet one of them is the repaired DOA i sent back last week lol.
OOS!
I am still waiting for Muzeeb to answer my prayers
Different brand, different size
Might be the cheapest a 4k/144hz monitor has been?
Not the parameters given. Nor should anyone be targetting a 32" 4K monitor over a 27" at a normal viewing distance. Economic ideal for angular resolution at 4K with 50 cms viewing distance is something like 15"-17", 'bare' minimum being 20"-21".
Should people who want something larger than 27" be looking for a 8K monitor? What is a normal viewing distance? What is "economical angular resolution"?
@Diji: Edited the post to clarify right before you posted. :P
It's a rough economic outcome for pushing for ideal angular resolution, i.e. the point at which you can't resolve the pixels at the viewing distance, in this case peaking at around 20/12 to 20/15, the latter being the average visual acuity of people. 20/20 is a yardstick for being able to do most things without glasses.
Standards going forward will be about targetting 20/15, but will eventually push for something higher. 27" 8K at 50 cms would be beyond 20/10, the theoretical upper limit of human visual acuity, but I can't speak to people's use case for their monitor, eg. peering closely at the screen occasionally, having the monitor closer than 50cms, etc.
Pushing things further and further also allows people to sit closer to their monitor for increase field of view and reduced text scaling, turning a small piece of electronics into a workflow more akin to what we would currently deem the realm of ultrawides or monitor arrays, though I'd imagine they wouldn't push closer than 30 cms.
And this is just monitors, there's VR/AR, phone, tablet, watch, foldables, rollables to consider on one side, and TVs, ad boards, and interactive walls/scoreboard on the other. The more you optimise for each of those use cases, the more pleasing it is on people's eyes, and the better off their experience with those devices, and their eye health.
@jasswolf: Is 50cm the average viewing distance? Personally I prefer mine further back, currently 70cm but further if I fully recline, this is with a 2560x1440 27" monitor. I'm looking at going for a 32" for my next monitor and I figure that would be fine since there's still another 40cm or so that I could just move the monitor back. I wouldn't say I have a particularly big desk considering people seem to have space for 42" "monitors" these days.
But I still don't understand what "economic outcome" has to do with any of this. You mean making devices with higher pixel densities cheaper or something?
@Diji: 40-60 cms tends to be how most people set things up, but yes, that's another consideration and why these slightly different size profiles exist. For your situation, if 27" 8K works for 40 cm distance, then you'd probably be targeting 32" or perhaps higher.

Decent price, lucky i missed it😂
Sometimes it's best not to post these low stock deals to OzB
Why not?
Afaik they don't list stock levels anyway, so no way to tell whether there's 1 or 50 units available regardless.
I’m crying I missed it
You need to get control of your emotions, then.
Refurbishments are always a risk and comes with more hassle if something goes wrong.
Refurbished Dells are good. They come with either the standard warranty or premium warranty which this one does. But yeah OOS already.
Warranty doesn't change the fact that you're intentionally buying a product that was faulty and had some issue with it in the past. Any electronics can fail but chances of one failing again that has failed in the past is more likely. Especially since you have zero idea on what was wrong with it to begin with.
My refurbished dell came back with more problems than the one I sent back,
A lot of these will just be repackaged warranty units with small issues that some will/won’t notice
Well mines arriving tomorrow, so fingers crossed. Anything in particular to look out for from your experience, apart from the usual dead/stuck pixels?
Yeah, I would do that. Already rocking this monitor and loving the display although I wish the USB ports are at the back and not on the bottom left - very poor asthetics and prevents the monitor from being lowered closer to the desk.
100% on the USB location
I went in again 5 mins ago and they have them back in stock. Ordered one and it's confirmed.
Worth checking back in periodically.
