Best 32-Inch 4K Monitors

The smart model Samsung M70D 32 is something between a regular monitor and a smart TV. It can work both together with a PC and completely independently.

The monitor's "smart" potential is revealed by the proprietary smart system based on the Tizen operating system, providing access to online media libraries and content streaming services. In parallel, the model can be used as a central hub for managing the SmartThings smart home eco-system. The monitor is supposed to be controlled using a solar-powered remote control and voice commands (via Bixby or Amazon Alexa assistants).

The monitor is connected to the Internet via a Wi-Fi 5 wireless module, and all kinds of peripheral devices are connected via Bluetooth v 5.2 or via a three-port USB 2.0 hub. The USB type C connector stands out in the model — it now supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for video signal transmission and fast charging with Power Delivery at 65 W.

The Samsung Smart Monitor M70D 32 has a VA sensor measuring 31.5 " diagonally. On the one hand, the screen has a high resolution of 4K (3840x2160 pixels), but on the other hand, it has a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz and mediocre peak brightness (up to 300 nits). So the HDR support declared for the display is purely declarative - it does not bring any practical benefit. Among other features of the display, the MultiView mode stands out for displaying images from two sources at once. Well, the sound accompaniment of broadcasts is entrusted to loud speakers with a total power of 10 W.

Acer Predator series monitors are highly valued among computer gamers. The XB323QKV3bmiiphx model is no exception to this rule - it is designed for long-term spending time in virtual gaming worlds.

The monitor screen with a diagonal size of 31.5 " and a true 4K resolution has acquired a flicker-free backlight coupled with Eyesafe technology to minimize the blue component of the spectral palette. This reduces the load on the customer's visual apparatus on the other side of the display. Instantly, reliable color rendering is ensured, which is confirmed by the coverage of about 95% of the DCI-P3 model.

The model provides support for AMD FreeSync Premium and several presets for different gaming genres. The monitor refresh rate is 160 Hz, and its response time with MPRT technology is 0.5 sec. In addition, the screen is certified according to the requirements of the VESA DisplayHDR 400 standard.

The standard stand in the Acer Predator XB323QKV3bmiiphx design allows you to adjust the display's tilt and height (within 12 cm). Instead, you can get a VESA wall bracket with a 100x100 mm mount. The additional equipment of the model includes integrated 2 x 2 W speakers - they will come in handy during gameplay without headphones.

LG UltraGear 32GR93U is a moderately large 4K monitor for fans of computer and console video games. Signal sources are connected to the model via DisplayPort v 1.4 and HDMI v 2.1 connectors (2 pcs.).

So, the main thing in the monitor is a 32-inch IPS screen based on a pseudo-ten-bit sensor with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. The display received a scanning frequency of 144 Hz, its response time when switching from gray pixel to gray is from 1 ms, and the peak brightness reaches 400 nits. In terms of color accuracy, the screen covers about 95% of the DCI-P3 color model.

The monitor is compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible adaptive frame rate synchronization technologies. In the rhythm of dynamic gameplay, tearing and frame drops are excluded. In addition, the customer has the right to display a crosshair, a countdown timer and an fps counter on the screen. In low-light scenes, the Black Stabilizer function for brightening dark areas comes to the rescue of the player.

The model is supported by an ergonomic stand with tilt, rotation, height adjustments and a quick change of the screen position from landscape to portrait orientation. A USB hub with fast charging and a rear RGB Hexagon Lighting system, represented by luminous geometric lines, complete the pleasant picture.

The VG32UQA1A model from the Asus TUF Gaming line of gaming monitors allows you to enjoy the delights of comfortable gameplay on a large high-resolution screen. And it doesn’t matter whether the monitor is connected to a computer or a gaming console.

The VA-sensor-based screen extends diagonally to 31.5 ". It is well calibrated straight from the factory and displays the image in the maximum resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. The gaming focus of the display is due to the refresh rate of up to 160 Hz and a low response time of 1 ms. And in addition, the screen can boast an extended color gamut - about 120% of the sRGB palette.

To minimize signal transmission delays, eliminate tearing and dropped frames, the monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive synchronization technology. Gamers will also appreciate specialized gaming tools: a crosshair in the center of the screen, a timer and fps counter, and the Shadow Boost function for brightening dark areas of the image.

The monitor rests on a non-adjustable stand with the ability to change only the screen tilt angle. The connection ports on board are represented by one DisplayPort v 1.4, two HDMI v 2.1 and a two-port USB hub with fast charging. The model even has simple 2 x 2 W speakers. However, instead of them, you can connect wired headphones to the monitor via the 3.5 mm mini-Jack interface.

For a full immersion in high-end gaming, you can't do without a good 4K monitor. The 31.5-inch AOC U32G3X model is perfect for this role.

The monitor has an IPS sensor with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The image can be transmitted to it from two connected sources at the same time - for this, the PBP (Picture by Picture) mode is used. The model has two DisplayPort v 1.4 connectors and two HDMI v 2.1 ports. Finally, wired headphones are connected to the monitor via a 3.5 mm audio jack.

To avoid problems with signal transmission from the computer to the monitor screen, the AOC U32G3X provides support for the NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible frame synchronization technology. The Adaptive Sync system works side by side with it, which guarantees smooth gameplay without image breaks and lost frames. Other options to the delight of gamers are the display of a crosshair, an fps counter, and a brightener for dark areas of the image (to better see lurking enemies).

The model is suitable not only for games, but also for viewing multimedia content, and partly for working with graphics. The color gamut of the Adobe RGB space is declared for the monitor at about 92%, the DCI-P3 palette is about 95%. Add to this an adjustable stand with screen settings for tilt, rotation and height. Voila, we have a balanced 4K monitor for demanding users.
