Bought this monitor a few months ago, just be aware it doesn't come with an actual monitor stand you have to clamp it on your desk or drill a hole through your desk like I had to do to mount it which was easy. The monitor and stand are very heavy duty, solid price. It's usually $650 for these.

Review this video to see how this monitor works and how it installs, https://youtu.be/Vj-iaDNxr1c

I bought this last year from Costco when it came on sale. Not a gamer, and use it for productivity apps and video consumption.

The monitor arm clamps on your desk, articulates really well, and although has a smaller range of motion than my Ergotron, is suitable for the small everyday articulation -- honestly, I don't move my monitors on a regular basis. Really enjoy the amount of room freed up on my desk.

Use it with a docked MacBook Pro with MonitorConrol (https://github.com/MonitorControl...orControl) to use the mac keys to adjust brightness.

Amazing price.

They are completely different monitors class. This one has 4k resolution. The other 2 are only 2k monitors and can't be compared.

I don't understand why people ask for apple vs orange comparison. Not trying to be an a$$ but what is the reason behind this question? If you need a 4k monitor, have the required hardware to run it at 4k, and can afford it then this is the only choice of the 3 monitors. If you don't have the GPU/hardware to run games/programs at 4k then this is a waste of a monitor.

It uses a clamp, not a bolt. No drilling is required.
If the clamp is not compatible for your desk like it wasn't on mine you have to use the compression grommet mount which requires a hole and I didn't have a hole so I made one.

See the video below where it shows the bolt going through the desk, just use a 5/16" drill bit to make the hole if you can't use the clamp.

I'm a professional web designer and I'm likely picking this monitor up. It's been on my radar for a while.

The monitor has excellent color accuracy and a relatively wide color gamut. It's primarily designed for DCI-P3 color space, which is for video editing, but it also does 120% of sRGB which is used for websites, and most photography.

If the person does photos for print specifically, then they need aRGB - Adobe RGB - color space for the wider gamut of printing.

I would ask them what color space they use to proof their work. If it's sRGB or DCI-P3, this would be an excellent choice for a 4K monitor.

If they do print work, you should look elsewhere for a monitor that does 95%+ aRGB. I recommend BenQ proofing monitors for designers, in that case.
Thank you this helped me understand it really isn't the best splurge for the price for them, but really helps me find one that is!

I got a used Dell u3014T from eBay for about $200 recently. It's not 4k but it covers 99% AdobeRGB with 16:10 ratio. Last year black Friday BHphotovideo had HP Z31x for sale @$600 which is an insane price.

Planning on buying a ps5. Would this be a good monitor for this purpose? I also have an older 4K LG tv from 3 years ago. Would the LG TV be good enough compared to this monitor? Appreciate any input

28 < 32
4k on 28inch has higher pixel density than 32 inch. I am looking for productivity and some gaming which needs better RT. Also I have prefer two dual inch monitor. 49 inch monitor under <1000 have 2k resolution and much lower RT. So personally I like two dual ones and in that 27+27 is better than 32+32.

This is a great monitor for photo/video editing on budget. However concept D or some very higher needs will be used in a professional setting.

Refresh Rate: 60Hz


Pass.
You and me both. I wait for the day 32" 4k 120Hz is within this price range as I keep my monitors a long time. I'm not spending $500 on 60Hz.

Wondering the same, would certainly save the hassle of dealing with a sales rush and OOS.

Been thinking about an arm for my desk. Anyone has the standup desk also from Costco with glass top? Curious if there's a solution for that without damaging the glass.

This monitor may be for various graphics stuff, but this monitor is not suitable for programming due to the print being too small at native 4k resolution.

This monitor:
​32" 4k, 3840x2160, 137.68 PPI, 0.1845mm dot pitch, 32UN880-B.AUS

I think for programming, you would want the PPI to be close to 104ppi to 109ppi. Text will appear increasingly smaller as the ppi exceeds 108ppi.

Here's some perspective:
15" laptop 1366x768, 104.47 PPI , 0.2431mm dot pitch (very comfortable text size)
15" laptop 1920x1080, 146.86 PPI, 0.173mm dot pitch (text size too small)

Thus, I try to get a monitor around 104ppi to 109ppi for programming.

I believe resizing the resolution will give suboptimal clarity of the letters so for programming, I stick with 2k monitors at 27 inch:

27" 2k, 2560x1440, 108.79 PPI, 0.2335mm dot pitch

I used this ppi calculator to compute the PPI and dot pitch.

Get monitor specs here:
https://www.displayspecifications.com

If you scale the fonts in windows, my understanding is that some apps that are not programmed for the scaling will appear wierd -- what you see won't be what you normally would get in native resolution.

I hope this helps someone in the programming world. If you're a programmer in the bay area and want to be my mentor, let me know.
