I've been eyeing this and wondering if it's better than the hp x32 I got for $200. The hp has 400 nits vs 350 which I really don't want to sacrifice in my bright room. Is this quite a bit better than the hp?

I have never seen/used the HP X32 (but, I have heard it is a great monitor). I do however own 2 of these Aorus FI32Q monitors and can say that they are excellent. The FI32Q is basically a Gigabyte M32Q with a few more features, and a much better stand. Given that the M32Q is one of the best reviewed 32" 1440p gaming monitors on the market, you really cannot go wrong with an even better version of the same monitor. Only knock against the FI32Q at time of release/review was the price ($750+), but given that you can pick one up in this deal for $234, it makes it pretty much an no brainer IMO.
I have never had any issues with the brightness, BTW. I do use mine in a fairly dim room, though. With HDR400 certification (even though the lowest tier of HDR) it should get pretty much equally as bright as your HP.
This has the potential to be an amazing deal. Just want to throw out my experience buying it... I went through 3 of them before I found one without dead pixels... The one I have now has no dead pixels (thank you jeeezzus) - however, it does have horrible back light bleed (not IPS glow, actualy white light from the panel bezel being to tight.)
It has QC issues, considering this is used... 100% a gamble on what you get. If you get a good panel with no dead pixels, you scored a heck of a deal.
My experience with Gigabyte RMA support was so nightmarish that I'll never buy from them again.
I know everyone has a story like that, but Gigabyte is mine.
(Bought from BB, monitor died after 6 months, BB said talk to Gigabyte, Gigabyte won't ship me a replacement and makes me pay $100 to ship it, Gigabyte doesn't update RMA ticket for 3 months, can't reach a human being, email several times no response, start calling every day - each time somebody picked up between 2-4 hours later and hung up. Eventually I got ahold of a human who told me they found my monitor and "Couldn't duplicate the issue" so they sent it back. Received monitor back after 5 months. Monitor still broken. Repurchased same monitor. Swapped bad monitor for good monitor. Returned bad monitor. fark you gigabyte you forced my hand.)
I bought one of these from the Amazon warehouse with another expired deal recently. The monitor and accessories were all brand new and sealed but it was listed as "used-acceptable", but the box was pretty banged up and had been opened and resealed at least 2 times. There was no signs on the box it had ever been shipped before. It was a really dirty box, so dirty in fact, that I cleaned the box off with a soft dust cloth before I opened it so I wouldn't get the dirty, dusty whatever it was, all over the monitor, too.
It was manufactured January 2021, during the supply chain issues that many manufacturers were having. I posted this just to let you all know I actually got a 4k version of the monitor, with the same model number on it as the 2k version.
My guess is either there was a shortage of 2k panels at the time and whoever makes these for Gigabyte decided to fill some of their orders with the 4k panels OR somehow some of these were mislabeled at the factory, which is then more odd because even the model number that comes up on various hardware IDs (like OSD Sidekick) show the FI32Q model number.
So if you get a 4k panel for the price of the 2k model, that seems like a great deal to me.
All the pixels were fine, but the bottom right corner has 2 fairly bad light bleeds around it, but in normal use you can't see it, and for the price, this was really a great deal, whether the manufacturers warranty is valid or not. And I used a charge card that offers a year extended warranty on it, just to be sure.
Oh, another thing that does irk me a bit, is Amazon now has yet another model variant listed under the RENEWED category, where they offer a 90 day return policy, versus 30 days on the one I got. As far as I can tell, the only thing they RENEW is making sure the item works, and has all the parts included. Well, that's exactly what someone did to mine, isn't it? Much befuddlement indeed, with this purchase. Amazon really needs to clean up their condition listings a bit, and stop cutting and pasting descriptions that cover multiple items with multiple different condition issues.

Whelp, mine is really bright, and I had to turn it down, but I also have a 4k panel in mine for some reason, as I pointed out, and the one I have is definitely then a 400 not 350 cd/m2. And I bought the same HP X32 deal, for a second PC. They sit close together, and the HP panels brightness looks pretty much the same.
I would have bought 2 of these FI32Q had I known they were going to send me 4k monitor variants instead. But the deal was gone before I could inspect the monitor I ordered.

I have this and two 27's.. may jump on this to replace at least one of them. How is amazon for returning "big" items? I was shocked how easy the BB return was after trying a monitor for a couple weeks (first time I've been pleased with BB)

Thanks for the input. I ended up finding the dell s3422dwg in "acceptable" condition for $242. Hopefully it's not too banged up. Wish it was ips but I heard the ghosting is really minimal on this one.

I own this monitor as well and it's pretty amazing. I'd buy a 2nd if I could get a price like that!
