GIGABYTE launches MO32U 4K QD-OLED gaming screen, new bracket design with 165Hz refresh rate

Following the AORUS FO32U2P, Gigabyte has released another Gigabyte MO32U gaming screen, also equipped with a 4K QD-OLED panel. It has a base design that is more conducive to space placement and flexible application, but the screen refresh rate has been reduced from 240 Hz to 165 Hz. , and removed the DisplayPort 2.1 video port, and simultaneously launched the 27-inch 1440P 240 Hz version of MO27Q2.

Gigabyte MO32U has a new tripod design, replacing the previous V-shaped base with a flat polygon, which helps improve desktop space utilization and adds the long-lost vertical and horizontal rotation functions, improving the previous Gigabyte M The shortcoming of the lack of flexibility of the series of screens is that the design team removed the entire cable hole of the new bracket, which is the most unfortunate aspect of the appearance.

As for the panel, the official website states that the product uses Samsung’s latest QD-OLED technology, with a resolution of 3840 x 2160, a maximum instantaneous peak brightness of up to 1000 nits, a global SDR typical value of 250 nits, and can cover 99% of the DCI-P3 color space. Passed VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification.

The above parts are the same as the flagship AORUS FO32U2P, but the update rate of the Gigabyte MO32U is lowered from 240 Hz to 165 Hz, so the clarity certification part changes from VESA ClearMR 13000 to ClearMR 9000. It is not yet known whether the difference in update rates is due to differences in driver chips or differences in panel levels, and it may need to wait until it is launched to confirm.

In addition, MO32U also changed the DisplayProt 2.1 UHBR 20 video port to the most common DisplayProt 1.4, which means that the HDR display will be processed using DSC lossless compression, and the USB-C charging rate has also been adjusted from 65 W to 18 W.

Fortunately, the signature KVM function is still retained, and a set of keyboard and mouse can be shared between two operating devices. However, because of the lack of the Dasiy Chain daisy chain function, when there are multiple screens, the MO32U cannot be connected in series with a single line like the FO32U2P. All need to be connected to the graphics card.

At the same time, MO32U also has a twin brother MO27Q2, which has basically the same appearance and connection ports, except that the QD-OLED panel used is 27 inches, with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a 240 Hz update rate.

Currently, GIGABYTE has not announced the official prices of MO32U and MO27Q2. It only confirms that the warranty is also 3 years and includes panel branding. Considering that the initial price of AORUS FO32U2P is NT$38,900, it is speculated that the price of the new series of products should be much more affordable based on the overall specifications and the Gigabyte M series’s main feature of balancing e-sports and affordability.
