DELL UP3216Q

Rating: 4.9

Looking for the widest color gamut monitor? In this case, we recommend that you do not save by purchasing DELL UP3216Q. Its screen has a diagonal of 31.5 inches, while it displays 100% of the REC 709 color space. If we talk about the DCI-P3 space, then the monitor shows as much as 87%. Professionals will also appreciate 99.5% Adobe RGB and 100% sRGB. And do I need to talk about the maximum viewing angles? In a word, you can process photos and monitor video on such a monitor with great pleasure – in the overwhelming majority of cases, you will see the maximum of what a photo or video camera was capable of.

This is where the description of DELL UP3216Q could be completed. But let's go through the rest of the declared characteristics. Some of them also make the monitor stand out from the competition. First, this model went through the most meticulous factory calibration. This means that you can start using it right after the purchase, there is no need for a long and tedious setup. But if you still want to implement it – the flag is in your hands, the monitor menu contains a huge number of parameters, and in addition to this, you can use the colorimeter purchased separately. Secondly, the device has a built-in card reader. Again, this will be relevant for anyone involved in professional photography and filming.

The picture is displayed here in 4K resolution. The frequency, unfortunately, is not amazing – it is 60 frames / s. But this monitor was not designed for gamers. And try to make the device change frames more often when the screen displays more than 1 billion colors! I am glad that at least the response time was reduced to 6 ms.

DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort and HDMI 2.0 connectors are used to connect the monitor to a computer. A good set that should suit absolutely everyone. There is also an audio output, to which headphones are usually connected. Another nice bonus is the four USB 3.0 ports. All this allows you to forget about the system unit, removing it from sight – you will now only touch it to turn on the computer.

Perhaps this monitor can be called almost perfect. It's nice that it has a built-in power supply – nothing will get in the way under your feet. During its operation, the device consumes approximately 93 watts. A lot, but bearable – you wouldn't expect anything less from a 4K monitor. The device is placed on the table using an elegant stand, which is even able to provide height adjustment. There are also holes on the back of the monitor for wall mounting.

Advantages

• Huge color gamut;
• The picture is displayed in 4K resolution;
• Almost perfectly calibrated;
• Can be hung on the wall;
• Modest response time;
• Maximum viewing angles;
• A huge number of connectors;
• There is a USB hub;
• There is an audio output and a card reader;
• The built-in power supply is used.

disadvantages

• Astronomical cost;
• Some specimens have uneven illumination.

BenQ PV3200PT

Rating: 4.8

BenQ knows a lot about monitors. Especially in those that are primarily intended for gamers. For example, players should like BenQ PV3200PT, which sells for 88-90 thousand rubles. This model is capable of boasting not only 4K-resolution, but also a higher frequency up to 76 Hz! Needless to say, the frame rate seems to be the most important parameter for many gamers? The response time is also important. It is 5 ms here, which is also good news.

However, such a monitor is unlikely to be affordable for an ordinary player. Unsurprisingly, the Taiwanese manufacturer recommends buying his creation to professionals who work with video on a daily basis. Such people will appreciate the 100% coverage of the REC 709 color space. The maximum viewing angles will also please them. Well, the complete absence of the flickering effect should contribute to less eye fatigue. There is also a light sensor here. It will decrease and increase the brightness of the backlight, focusing on the surrounding space.

The unique feature of this monitor is the user presence sensor. If he is away on business, the monitor goes into standby mode. This saves energy consumption. By the way, the power consumption of the monitor is only 44 watts. Negligible for a 4K device!

There are no particular complaints about the stand. It turned out to be very ergonomic. The stand allows you to adjust the height of the monitor, as well as change its tilt and rotation angle. Photographers will love the ability to change the display orientation from landscape to portrait.

Nothing bad can be said about the BenQ PV3200PT when it comes to connectors. HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort are designed to connect the monitor to a PC. Also, the device can be used as a USB hub. In total, you will have access to two USB 3.0 ports. There is also a card reader. You can only complain about the lack of audio output. It would allow you to completely forget about the system unit, connecting absolutely all peripherals to the monitor.

Advantages

• Displays over 1 billion colors;
• Built-in power supply is used;
• Can be hung on the wall;
• Convenient stand;
• There are light and presence sensors;
• A large number of connectors;
• There is a card reader;
• Screen refresh rate increased to 76 Hz;
• There is a USB hub;
• Maximum viewing angles;
• The picture is displayed in 4K resolution;
• Flicker-free backlighting;
• Not very long response time.

disadvantages

• The monitor weighs 12.2 kg;
• Very high cost.

Viewsonic VP3268-4K

Rating: 4.7

Another monitor, which includes a display with a diagonal of 31.5 inches and a resolution of 4K. This model boasts an unusually thin frame. Its screen has 99% sRGB color space, which will definitely suit many photographers and video editing professionals. If the default settings obtained by the device do not suit you, you can perform a hardware calibration. Ideally, get the X-rite I1 Display Pro or X-rite I1 Pro 2 calibrator for this.

The manufacturer claims that almost all Viewsonic VP3268-4K monitors it produces have the most uniform backlighting. This allows you to hope for a balanced uniformity across all specimens. Hardly anyone will be able to make claims to the viewing angles, which are maximum here. Well, the aforementioned thin frames will be a plus if you suddenly want to place two or even more monitors next to each other.

This model has an excellent stand. With its help, you can easily change the height of the monitor. The tilt of the display is also adjustable. Finally, no one will forbid you to rotate the screen, transferring it to portrait orientation. This will be especially useful for photographers who are most often processing non-landscape shots. By the way, if you have the appropriate program, the operating system interface will automatically rotate after the monitor. Thanks to the built-in gyro sensor for this function.

Another interesting feature of the Viewsonic VP3268-4K is the 'Movie' mode. If you are watching video at 24 frames / s, then a special processor comes into play. It doubles the frequency, 'completing' the missing frames, which makes the picture smoother. This is common for modern TVs, but this function is almost never found in monitors. By the way, what is happening on the screen is accompanied by a good sound – it is emitted by two 5-watt speakers. If you are bothering someone, you can connect headphones using the appropriate jack.

If we are talking about nests, then one cannot fail to note their huge number. A pair of HDMI 2.0, one Mini DisplayPort, one DisplayPort 1.2a are what you'll find on the back. And that is not all! Also, the monitor can be used as a USB hub – there are four high-speed ports in total.

Perhaps this is one of those devices that is close to ideal. In terms of color gamut, Viewsonic VP3268-4K is only slightly inferior to the competitors described above. Moreover, this model is capable of displaying a picture with a frequency of 75 Hz. The monitor has a built-in power supply that draws approximately 51 watts. And this device is a little lighter than the rest – the scales under the creation of Viewsonic will show 10.33 kg.

Advantages

• Rotation to portrait mode is available;
• Can be wall-mounted;
• Backlight uneven compensation available;
• The warranty period has been extended to two years;
• There are stereo speakers;
• Built-in power supply is used;
• A huge number of connectors;
• The screen refresh rate is 75 Hz;
• Response time – only 5 ms;
• Displays over 1 billion colors;
• The screen has 4K resolution;
• Maximum viewing angles;
• Implemented USB hub.

disadvantages

• No card reader;
• High price;
• 75 Hz is only available at reduced resolution;
• Height adjustment is not particularly wide.

ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ

Rating: 4.7

Another monitor with a very wide coverage of the sRGB color space. However, it is very different from the competitors already discussed in this review. Basically because it's a game model. The manufacturer has equipped it with a screen, the refresh rate of which is increased to 144 Hz. It's time to test the capabilities of the video card in full!

If the models discussed above had 4K resolution, then this parameter is 2560×1440 pixels. This will be especially appreciated by those who are going to connect the monitor to a non-record powerful computer. An LED circle can be seen on the back of the device. It beautifully illuminates the space behind the monitors in the colors of what is happening on the screen. If you remember, something similar was seen in Philips TVs before. Also, this product can boast of an ergonomic stand, thanks to which the position of the screen is adjusted in almost all directions. The only thing missing here is the ability to switch the device to portrait mode. This once again hints that the ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ is not the best choice for a professional photographer.

And we have not yet said that the display here has a curved shape? It is unlikely that this will somehow affect the perception of the picture. But you definitely won't argue with the fact that a monitor with a curved screen looks more impressive.

Gamers will also love the FreeSync support. It synchronizes the refresh rate of the display with the frame rate of the video card. This completely removes the tearing effect that occurs in many PC games. There are also other purely game functions that are activated by pressing the GamePlus button. For example, the monitor can display its own crosshair or show the FPS counter. Flicker-free backlighting is also implemented here. This means that you can safely adjust its brightness – the flicker will not be noticeable even at the lowest values.

Well, what are the disadvantages of this model? The most upsetting thing is the external power supply – it will get in the way under your feet, especially if there is not too much space under the table. Well, one cannot help but find fault with the stand. Yes, it is functional. But her leg turned out to be truly huge – it will interfere with many. Also, some buyers complain that the VA matrix is ​​not able to display a sharp picture. This problem is most noticeable when working with documents – the fonts here have slightly blurry edges, which is why the eyes are constantly straining.

Advantages

• Has 125% coverage of the sRGB color space;
• Maximum viewing angles;
• Extremely high resolution;
• The screen is curved;
• The backlight does not flicker;
• Response time – only 4 ms;
• Increased screen refresh rate;
• All three popular connectors are present;
• There are two USB ports and a headphone output;
• There is a backlight;
• The weight is only 5.9 kg.

disadvantages

• An external power supply is used;
• The stand turned out to be too huge;
• The price cannot be called low;
• Not very sharp.

Samsung C32JG50QQI

Rating: 4.6

Another monitor with a curved display. It is also positioned as a gaming one. Its screen has a diagonal of 31.5 inches, and the resolution of 2560×1440 pixels will not strain your graphics card very much. Most of all, players will enjoy the increased sweep frequency to 144 Hz. It will make the picture in games as smooth as possible.

It is now easy for a South Korean company to bend its screens. She used this practice to create smartphones and televisions, now it is the turn of monitors. In this case, the radius of curvature of the display is 1800R. This value is ideal for comfortable viewing when a person is one and a half meters from the monitor.

The manufacturer claims high contrast. But we understand that we shouldn't wait for an ideal, even if the matrix is ​​made using VA technology. Still, the South Koreans needed to actively save, otherwise their creation would have received a significantly higher price tag. But with the response time, everything is in order here – it is 4 ms.

One can only dream of an extended color gamut with such a monitor. If the devices discussed above often produced more than 1 billion colors, then here their number is limited to 16.7 million. Feel the difference. The rear panel is also significantly simplified here. On it you can find only a pair of HDMI 1.4 jacks, one DisplayPort 1.2 and a headphone output. There is no USB hub, and no card reader.

In a word, this is far from the most functional model. But on the other hand, the power consumed by it varies from 47 to 59 W, depending on the mode of use. The only pity is that the power supply in this case is external. We'll have to put up with his presence under our feet. The Samsung C32JG50QQI monitor weighs only 5.8 kg. As for his stand, it does not involve almost any adjustments. By the way, these monitors are often hung on the wall. This model also supports a similar mount – the holes are 75 mm apart.

It remains to note the curious implementation of the menu. It is here made in the form of a game interface. At the push of a button, you will immediately become familiar with the key parameters – frame rate and more. For ease of adjustment, the monitor even received a corresponding award at one of the international exhibitions.

Advantages

• There is a headphone output;
• Increased screen refresh rate;
• Easy customization;
• High enough resolution;
• Flicker-free backlighting;
• Low response time;
• The screen is curved;
• Modest weight;
• The price cannot be called prohibitively high.

disadvantages

• An external power supply is used;
• There is no USB hub;
• Not very functional stand;
• Calibration is desirable after purchase.

LG 32GK650F

Rating: 4.5

This monitor also has a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. And its matrix is ​​also made using VA technology, providing reasonably believable blacks. The difference is that the screen installed here is flat, the manufacturer did not bend it. Well, many do not need this …

Like many other gaming monitors from LG, this model supports Radeon F-Sync technology. This means that with the right graphics card you will enjoy the perfect picture without tearing. Also, the refresh rate of the screen increased to 144 Hz is good news. It feels especially good in games. Nothing bad can be said about the response time, which is 5ms. As for the number of displayed colors, it equals 16.7 million. Want more? In this case, you need to look towards significantly more expensive monitors. If we talk about the viewing angles, then they are close to the maximum. At some point, the picture may be distorted, but only slightly.

The back panel LG of the 32GK650F houses two HDMI sockets and one DisplayPort 1.2. This is enough to connect to any PC. There is also a headphone jack. Unfortunately, there is no USB hub.

An interesting feature of the monitor is its stand. It turned out to be very functional. The monitor can not only be adjusted in height, but also switched to portrait mode. But this model is not intended for professional photographers! Also LG 32GK650F supports wall mount – for this it got holes spaced 100mm apart.

Despite the rather large dimensions, there was no room for the built-in power supply under the monitor case. Therefore, you will have to place it somewhere under the table. In terms of power consumption, it almost never exceeds 44 W. Well, the weight of this model was 8.3 kg.

Advantages

• Very low response time (in special mode – 1 ms);
• FreeSync technology is supported;
• Low power consumption;
• Extremely high resolution;
• Multifunctional stand;
• There is a headphone output;
• Increased screen refresh rate;
• Not that high cost.

disadvantages

• An external power supply is used;
• I would like to get a USB hub;
• The viewing angles still cannot be called maximum.

Iiyama ProLite XB3270QS-B1

Rating: 4.4

This is a much less advanced monitor. But he will definitely find his buyer. Many people will like the bright picture displayed at 2560×1440 pixels. Also, everyone will be delighted with the maximum viewing angles. IPS technology provides a comfortable viewing experience from whatever angle you are to the monitor. And the response time of 4 ms is good news.

It's nice that the creators of the Iiyama ProLite XB3270QS-B1 did not have to economize with all their might. The fact is that this model belongs to the mid-budget segment, it is not very cheap. In this regard, the manufacturer managed to provide its creation with flicker-free backlighting. He also increased the screen refresh rate, albeit only up to 75 Hz. He also claims that his monitor displays more than 1 billion colors. It is already impossible to believe in this. And all sorts of measurements with special devices show that the manufacturer is cunning. But most people will definitely have no complaints about color rendition, there is no doubt about it.

Interestingly, the Iiyama ProLite XB3270QS-B1 has stereo speakers. But their total power is only 6 watts, so it is better to use speakers. Or headphones, the jack for which is located on the back of the monitor. There are also wall mount holes, an HDMI jack, DisplayPort and a DVI-D connector. Well, under the case there is a built-in power supply that consumes about 57 watts. The weight of this model is 8.9 kg.

Advantages

• There are stereo speakers;
• There is a headphone output;
• Slightly increased screen refresh rate;
• Maximum viewing angles;
• Good color rendering;
• Wall mount supported;
• Low response time;
• Flicker-free backlighting;
• Extremely high resolution.

disadvantages

• Not very functional stand;
• The frames seem too wide;
• Black is not ideal;
• 75 Hz is only reached at resolution Full HD;
• The acoustics turned out to be very weak;
• No USB hub.

LG 32ML600M

Rating: 4.3

Our rating cannot do without monitors, the matrix of which produces an image in resolution Full HD. They are still interesting to many people. After all, one must not forget that often computers are not capable of displaying a picture in higher resolution without brakes. So let's take a closer look at the monitor LG 32ML600M.

This model has an IPS-screen with a diagonal of 31.5 inches. Viewing angles are maximum, the picture is not distorted at all. There are no complaints about color reproduction either – the monitor displays 95% of the DCI-P3 space. In this case, you do not have to use the presets conceived by the manufacturer – this model supports color calibration. By the way, LG 32ML600M is also capable of boasting HDR10 support.

By default, the screen used here has a response time of 5ms. But in games, you can use a special mode in which the response becomes almost instantaneous. Of course, this is achieved by disabling all sorts of improvements. The manufacturer also managed to implement flicker-free backlighting in his creation. This means that you will be able to regulate it within wide limits. As you know, in budget monitors, a decrease in the level of backlight brightness inevitably leads to a clearly visible and eye-straining flicker effect.

In fact LG 32ML600M stars from the sky are not enough. It can be seen that the South Korean manufacturer was striving to create a relatively inexpensive monitor. As a result, only three connectors are located on its rear wall, not counting the headphone output. This is a pair of HDMI 2.0 jacks and one VGA port. Alas, there is no USB hub here, as well as a card reader. The creators did not embed even the currently relevant DisplayPort. And they also did not dare to place a power supply under the monitor case. As a result, it will be somewhere under the user's feet. By the way, the device consumes only 39 W – this is one of the most economical models in our selection.

The monitor stands on an arched leg. Alas, the stand practically does not allow any adjustment of the position of the device in space. Close inspection of the back wall reveals four holes. This suggests that someone might forget about the stand by hanging the monitor on the wall. But for this you will need to get a bracket, since it is not included in the kit.

Advantages

• Displays 99% of the sRGB color space;
• Very low power consumption;
• HDR10 support has been implemented;
• The backlight does not flicker;
• Maximum viewing angles;
• There is a headphone output;
• Not particularly fast response time;
• Acceptable cost.

disadvantages

• An external power supply is used;
• Permission – only Full HD;
• Standard refresh rate;
• The flimsy leg only allows the tilt angle to be adjusted.

AOC Q3279VWFD8

Rating: 4.2

This model is able to please with its resolution, frame rate, and response time. With all this, it is also relatively inexpensive! What did the creators save on? Let's figure it out.

This monitor includes an IPS-matrix with a diagonal of 31.5 inches. The picture is clearly visible from any angle, but the white color in it may fade slightly. It is displayed with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. Therefore, before buying the AOC Q3279VWFD8, think about whether this will not be an overwhelming task for your video card. The maximum monitor is able to update the image 75 times per second. Importantly, this frequency is maintained even when using the maximum resolution. But not all competitors, even those included in this rating, can boast of this.

Players will love the fact that the response time here does not exceed 5ms. However, such a figure is typical for most monitors existing now. Perhaps, it is much more pleasing that this is one of the cheapest models among those that can display more than 1 billion colors. In fact, the figure is, of course, less. But here we are definitely not talking about the modest 16 million. And the monitor has a backlight that does not flicker even at the lowest brightness level. This is also an undoubted advantage of this model. FreeSync technology support is also implemented here. Again, this should appeal to gamers with the right graphics card.

There are five connectors on the back of the monitor. And they are all completely different. HDMI 1.4, VGA, DisplayPort 1.2 and DVI-D are designed for image reception. The fifth jack is the headphone output. It is a pity that there is no USB hub here – the set would be the most complete with it.

The disadvantages of this model include a low-function stand. It's also one of those monitors that you can't hang on a wall – there are no corresponding holes to secure the bracket. The device is powered by an external power supply. AOC Q3279VWFD8 consumes no more than 45 W, so it cannot be called too power hungry.

Advantages

• Weight does not exceed 7 kg;
• Extremely low power consumption;
• A large number of connectors for receiving images;
• FreeSync support;
• Refresh rate increased to 75 Hz;
• High enough resolution;
• Flicker-free backlighting;
• Extended color range;
• Not very expensive.

disadvantages

• An external power supply is used;
• Not the best stand;
• No wall mount support;
• There is no USB hub.

Philips 328E9QJAB

Rating: 4.1

This is arguably the most inexpensive curved monitor available. In Russia it can be purchased for only 16-18 thousand rubles. It is clear that some of its characteristics are simplified. However, some parameters still literally make us recommend buying it.

This monitor has at its disposal a VA matrix with a diagonal of 31.5 inches. It displays the picture in resolution Full HD. This allows you to connect the device even to a very old computer equipped with a far from top-end video card. The viewing angles are very good, but they cannot be called maximum. On the other hand, nothing bad can be said about the backlight, since it is very bright, and when this parameter is reduced, you will not expect the flickering effect. But even more, many gamers will love the increased screen refresh rate to 75 Hz.

This display has a good contrast ratio. However, this does not mean that he is capable of boasting an outrageous color gamut. Alas, it only displays 16.7 million colors. The response time of 5 ms can also be called standard here. However, even this parameter is quite suitable for games. Some buyers will definitely like the ability to calibrate colors – as you know, even cheaper models of monitors do not have this function. Well, one cannot fail to note the support of the FreeSync technology, thanks to which frame tears are eliminated in games.

Philips 328E9QJAB is capable of boasting stereo speakers. But their total power is only 6 W, so it is better to connect some speakers to the computer. The monitor itself is connected to a PC through one of the three available connectors: VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort. Also on the back of the device you can find a headphone output and wall mount holes. Well, somewhere under the case is the power supply. Power consumption, by the way, is 38 watts. Even the constant use of such a monitor will not affect electricity bills.

Advantages

• The display is curved;
• Realistic black color;
• Can be hung on the wall;
• The screen refresh rate is increased to 75 Hz;
• Low power consumption;
• FreeSync support;
• Flicker-free backlighting;
• Weighs only 6.78 kg;
• Headphone output is not forgotten;
• Not very expensive.

disadvantages

• Not very functional stand;
• No USB hub
• Resolution – 1920×1080 pixels only;
• There are instances with dead pixels and flare.

Conclusion

How quickly times are passing … More recently, people were satisfied with tiny monitors, the picture on which was updated 60 times per second. Now on store shelves there are 32-inch monsters that can boast of maximum viewing angles, high refresh rates and high-quality color reproduction. Basically, these are the monitors discussed in this review.
