    Would anyone happen to know if this would work over a display dock connected to a laptop?

    • Roger Ramjet on 22/08/2020 - 12:36

      If the dock has display port or HDMI plugs then yeah.

      • jparse on 22/08/2020 - 21:57

        Check if HDCP compatible.

      Will you be using it for gaming? If not you’d be better off with an IPS 60Hz screen probably similar price.

        True, I have 2 of the non-curved IPS version of this screen and its the best for office work for the price and size.

        • Marty131 on 22/08/2020 - 16:12

          So do I; Actually I have 3 for iRacing :). I think 2 is the sweet spot for office work though. 3 is ridiculous for anything other than gaming.

          • Cartman2530 on 22/08/2020 - 16:24

            @Marty131: I'd like a 3rd for productivity work, as the more screen area I have the more stuff i can do. Works so much better than tabbing through windows or sharing screen space between apps. Well, for what I do anyway.

            Gaming on 3 would be excellent with iRacing, I went the other way and got a VR setup that works well with Project Cars at home.

    • vid_ghost on 22/08/2020 - 12:41

      ONLY if the doc and laptop have HDMI 2.0 or 2.1

      Anything less then its going to be stuck at lower rez.
      Display port is good too.

    Personally I feel 32’ too big a screen for office work.

      I run two of these side by side.. great for CAD work and ends up being larger then a 49" widescreen and way cheaper

    I loved the first one i got last year that i ended up buying two more - ( Paid $399, $434 and $499 )
    These monitors have the best colors I've ever seen in my life and the black levels are great. May have something to do with 10 bit colour. ( 8-Bit + FRC = 10bit )
    ALL VA Panels suck for FPS gaming though and i don't care what people say….I've never seen a single VA panel that doesn't have a little bit of ghosting in FPS games.. even though they state 1ms.. I have a TN 144Hz Acer monitor and its REAL 1ms with ZERO ghosting. side by side its night and day.

    For RTS games this is fine.. i only play League of Legends and Guildwars2 and planing to play the hell out of Homeworld 3 when it comes out so all good with VA here

    How is this compare to the recent Xiaomi 34" ?

    • venomx2 on 22/08/2020 - 11:56

      same question besides this is cheaper, slightly smaller and different aspect ratio.

      • John K on 22/08/2020 - 11:59

        It really depends on your need. This is a great comparison: http://displaywars.com/32-inch-16x9-vs-34-inch-21x9

        If you use it mostly for 16:9 contents (like movies, youtube or WFH etc) then this is probably the best option for under $500. If you do a lot of gaming (and depending on what games you play) the 34" 21:9 might suit your needs better.

        • Serapis on 22/08/2020 - 12:54

          Damn so close, would've gotten it if it had vesa mounts…

  • deale on 22/08/2020 - 12:08

    Is this any good for multi tasking? Ideally I would prefer 2 monitors but don't have enough desk space.

    • dano on 22/08/2020 - 12:23

      Maybe consider an ultrawide? Could also have a second monitor in portrait mode if your desk space is limited. Stacking the second one on top of your main one is also an option.

      • parker2004au on 22/08/2020 - 12:37

        I would go an ultra wide too.

        I've got this monitor but it's just too 'large' for me.

        I wish I went the ultra wide route

        • AEKaBeer on 22/08/2020 - 14:04

          I have an ultrawide for home and used a 32" for work, I actually think the 32" is the better all round format.

        • bobvegas on 22/08/2020 - 15:14

          Yeah I think the same for this resolution 27inch, for ultrawide 32inch

    • ln28909 on 22/08/2020 - 12:43

      2x24 for $300 or 2x27 for 800

    This may be the better option for those wanting a 32” monitor for productivity rather than gaming. No curve, no high refresh rate, IPS.

    • John K on 22/08/2020 - 12:31

      I was looking at that IPS monitor too but decided to get this one because of curve, better refresh rate and very good reviews. I think it is worth the extra $100 but ymmv

    • Grok on 22/08/2020 - 12:56

      Looks pretty good for the price, thanks.

      Do you have one?

      What is the bad pixel policy like on it?

      Edit: Looked it up, warranty isn't that great on VX monitors, you can have up to about 5 bad pixels before they recognise a problem..

      • vid_ghost on 23/08/2020 - 10:51

        the 3 monitors i have alll had zero dead pixels and zero backlight bleed or backlioght glow… all varying manufacturing dates

    • Cartman2530 on 22/08/2020 - 16:26

      I have 2 of these at work. Excellent monitors, nothing else comes close for the size and price.

      Not at all. That's FHD vs this one is WQHD. Apples to oranges comparison

    • tinduong on 22/08/2020 - 12:27

      this is full hd

      1920x1080 on a 32" … yuck… the text looks shocking 1920x1080 27" is fine but 32" no WAY!

      • tinduong on 22/08/2020 - 12:35

        I'm using 27" WQHD and afraid if things still look ok for 32" with same resolution …

          its better… you don't have to squint as much for small text :)

          27" WQHD is too small

            +2

            @vid_ghost: I'd say it really goes to personal preference. I have 1920x1200 24", 2560x1440 27" and 3840x2160 32" side by side, and i find the 27" to be decent and very comfortable pixel pitch wise, but the 4k 32" to be the best overall compromise in regards to real estate and screen size, and at 100% scaling still very usable. I have used 2560x1440 32"s a fair bit, and whilst still decent, everything is a fair bit bigger than i would typically like it to be.

        • paul11 on 22/08/2020 - 16:47

          @tindoung I agree, 27" is a sweet spot for 2K monitors for work purposes, Crisp text and sharp graphics. For 32" I would prefer a 4K. It all about personal preference. With 2K / WQHD resolution and for work purposes, I would prefer something like this one with an IPS panel.

    No VESA support Btw for anyone wanting to mount this. Otherwise excellent deal

      Was hyped, but no VESA support killed this for me :(

    • vid_ghost on 22/08/2020 - 14:11

      never understood why it doesnt have a mount… :) i use a Glass monitor riser but would of loved VESA standard

    Is Samsung C32JG54QQE better?

    • John K on 22/08/2020 - 15:47
      +1

      Was trying to get C32JG54QQE myself through Samsung EPP (which would work out much cheaper with $50 code) but it hasn't been available for a while. Contacted Samsung Aus this week. They checked in their system and they don't know when it'll be available again. The rep I spoke to said that it is not in their shipping system at the moment so I assume that it is not coming in any near future Shipments. Not sure which one between this Viewsonic and C32JG54QQE is better but at least the Viewsonic is available with free shipment :)

    • ln28909 on 22/08/2020 - 16:14

      I think Samsung has a GTG of 4ms compared to 1ms on this so the Viewsonic is better in that sense, otw they're pretty similar and the Samsung was much cheaper than this when it was available recently

      Also I don't know why this is a deal since it's normal price is $499 shipped

      • John K on 22/08/2020 - 16:32

        This is a deal because it is less than $499 delivered during this Covid time! Please let the community know if you find a better price with stock available.

          a bargain is something that is a fair bit cheaper than what it usually is. if a store rep were to post this as a deal with less 3% discount from normal price, they would be annihilated by the community. Feel free to check the comments in Amazon store rep post.

    • vid_ghost on 23/08/2020 - 10:54

      Spec wise.. the Samsung is not better and is only 8bit with less RGB rage % even when compared only using the 8bit vs 8bit mode .. lots of reviews online complain about washed out colours and very greyed out dull images with little colour..
      Most likely a glitch with the monitor but i didnt want to take the risk… also less reliable from the amount of defective refurbished units.

      • John K on 24/08/2020 - 08:27

        Thanks for the details, now I feel a lot better that I got this monitor instead of the Samsung one

    Picked one up for $469 from Scorptec just the other week, super happy with it! Great colors!

    • John K on 22/08/2020 - 17:16

      Great price! Would you mind me asking when was it?

      • intruhvurted on 22/08/2020 - 17:24

        I preordered it (they had to wait for stock to come in) on Aug 9th, & got it on the Aug 14th.

        Edit: actually, my mistake, i got the 27inch. 32 in far to big for gaming for me

        • John K on 22/08/2020 - 17:27

          Thanks for that, I haven't seen the 32" anything under $499 in a long time. I think the 27 inch is IPS as well so pretty decent for gaming

          • tinduong on 22/08/2020 - 19:50

            @John K: I'm using 27" WQHD and quite happy (only playing DotA 2 and mirroring Macbook Pro). Looking for an upgrade however all of those look overkill ops …

  • takemymoney on 22/08/2020 - 21:34

    I prefer a UW but for this price it's tempting …however the lack of vesa for proper ergonomics and work use worries me. just looked on YouTube and the screen sits too low over the desk…return may also be a hassle if stuck pixels are found…

  • John K on 04/09/2020 - 15:51

    Received the monitor yesterday. Calibrated it the best I could following Windows Calibration. Great value multipupose monitor with amazing colors…….
