Bullshit, you won't see pixels unless you like to pretend to be an elitist and sit stupid close to a 32 inch screen. Anyone will find problems to complain about if they want to find problems.
I have a curved Acer 32", also just 1080p, and i'm typing on it right now, sitting 2.5 feet away from it , have perfect 20/20 vision and the screen is perfectly fine for text, videos and images. I game on it too. Will you see finer, sharper display on a QHD screen at the same size and distance, yes, but nobody is going to see pixels at typical, practical use scenarios.
If you're on a budget and aren't picky, $155 is cheap for this. Personally, I have an LG 31.5" 144hz 1440p monitor and it's perfect to me, but will cost you twice as much. If you can afford to buy a 1440p, then do that instead.

I also call bullsh*t. I have 2, 32" Dell 1080p monitors. My sitting arrangement is about 2.5 ft. as well. Both monitors are clear, you do not see pixels, they are only 60hz refresh. Yes 1440p is better. Not for double this price in any world. This will be a good monitor for the price. Running an i7 with gtx 1070 Gigabyte gaming. If you want it and it's in your wheelhouse, go for it 👍
Guys this isn't really a matter of opinion there has already been a lot of research done on the topic based on people with 20/20 vision. I can definitely "see the pixels" even on a 23" 1080p monitor at 2.5 feet away, but when I say "see the pixels" I don't mean everything looks horrible and blocky, it mainly means it's obvious vector-based text does not look as good as I know it could look if my resolution was higher, or if I simply increased the font size and moved back.
Whew. Allright bois, tell me the bad news about this cause this price seems insane.
I don't like the VA panel because they are the lowest of the VA/TN/IPS panels and because it's a 1080 on a 32". But I'm ngl, that's an ultra cheap budget monitor.

1080p isn't that bad on a monitor this size depending on your usage. I wouldn't recommend it if you are using for a work at home computer and you have to read text. But this is a gaming monitor so 1080 is probably fine given the price.
As far as I can tell, the main issue with this is that it's marketed to PC gamers, who typically don't sit at the recommended distance to be able to distinguish individual pixels. Take a look at this calculator for viewing distances[inchcalculator.com], even though it's made for TV's, the recommended distance is between 4' to 6.6' for a 32" display. Less than 4 feet and it's likely you will be able to see individual pixels, unless you have poor eyesight already. Most PC users are closer than 4' to their displays, although if you have a really deep desk or your setup allows for the monitor to be further away, than maybe this will work for you. Although IMO at that point, it kinda eliminates the immersion benefits of having a curved display in the first place.
I'm in to test it against the Dell 27 for $99 I'm still waiting to arrive. Using for work so not being to picky. I think 32 may be a bit to large for my space though.
I turned all the fortnite settings down except view distance and I'm getting 160fps in fortnite. Just waiting for the 3080 damnit since I've got a 1060 3gb now.

Actually TN are the lowest quality. VA panels are known for their super accurate color reproduction of the three you listed, and prior to OLED, QLED, etc. graphics artists and print media designers often would invest significant sums of money in VA panel monitors because the color produced on screen would match the printed material and/or have minimal variance monitor to monitor (after proper on site calibration, of course).

32" 1080 is great. maybe even a bit too small. give me 80 dpi so your head is the size of a half dollar on my screen and i can pop out right off
