Been keeping an eye out for high refresh 32inch 1440p IPS to for work / gaming and came across this. I'm guessing it on sale due to HDMI 2.1 / DP1.4 monitor being released lately, but still a great buy in the short term.
Also available at this price atm from Scorptec or Centrecom if you prefer (with free shipping). (Thanks @materix01)
31.5 (32 inches)
1440p
170hz
KVM switch built in
USB-C input
2 x HDMI 2.0
1 x DP1.2
For comparison to nearest competitor, the LG 32GP850 - $679 :
Love the usb c input
Have the 27 inch and it’s great.
It's alright if you get it at a good price, some people have reported extreme ips bleed, I have some in the left corner.
I have two of the 27inches and find them pretty good also. These look like a great buy for a single screen setup.
Pity no power delivery. Would have got this otherwise.
I have one and it powers my macbook
Does it actually charge or just "hold power"?
Strange. The web pages for it make no mention of this.
Isn't this the regular price? I bought this exact monitor from umart a month ago for the exact same price.
Yeh this seems to be the going price from a couple of places. Im waiting for it to go lower to get a triple screen setup (in conjunction with a 3080 going lower … if that will ever happen :P)
lol my workmate messaged me and said he'd told me about this last month… but I mustn't have been listening / pre-caffeinated… guess it's standard "sale" price now
Does the KVM only work with USB-C or is there a set of USB-A cables too?
The manual is a little confusing… Seems the KVM works with both USB-C and USB-A (eg, if you've connected your laptop to USB-C it would be both video input and keyboard / mouse, but your other PC you've connect the USB-A and HDMI)

Yeah I couldn't make sense of the manual. I guess my question really is, can I easily flick between 2 desktop computers (with no usb-c output) at the press of a button and have both the monitor and keyboard/mouse functioning correctly?
I've got the 27 version. Keyboard/mouse input is assignable to any of the display inputs. You don't need to use a usb c display for one of them. I had hdmi for one pc using the usb a port and display port for another with the usb c on the monitor running the keyboard and mouse for the display port pc. No reason a usb c to usb a cable couldnt be used on that
@allthethings: I have the M32Q version.
in the menu it asks for USB-B and Type C specifically.
if i understand correctly - you using two displays, non of which are using a USB-C cable?
I cant seem to get a DP and HDMI setup to work for myself.
@kehuehue: That's correct, I have my laptop using a dock with hdmi, with a usb c cable connecting the keyboard and mouse. I then have my desktop using display port, and the a usb-b to usb-a for the keyboard and mouse.
To get this to work, I used the KVM wizard in the menu to assign usb-c to the hdmi1 input
No reason the usb c cable to my dock couldn't be a usb c to usb a cable instead.
