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.
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.
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.)
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.

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.
