Overall Review: I've had this monitor for a little over a week, and I'm so glad I bought it. I have been working from home on a 14" laptop since mid-March and I really wanted a larger monitor both for ergonomics and productivity. My first big debate was 27" or 32"? Well, I'm glad I went 32". No, it's not too big. And what is awesome is that you can really use windows like it was meant to be - I leave open various windows all over the monitor and don't need to use full screen for any one thing. It really improves usability. The quality of this monitor is top notch. It is super sturdy on a very nice metal stand. The back is relatively thin and plastic. The front has a metal edge around the screen that is about 1/2 inch thick. It's actually really nice this way and looks high quality. Color is great and there are no dead pixels - I've checked many times. There is a 3 year warranty too. If you are going to go 32", QHD 1440p or higher is a must. The PPI on a 1440p 32" is the same as a 1080p 24" monitor at about 93 pixels. Anything lower would be unacceptable. There is some pixelation in text, but it's the same as my monitor at work and was what I expected. My son does use it for his gaming and it seems to work pretty well. He downgrades settings due to my relatively low end graphics card but it looks great. One advantage of a QHD vs. a 4K monitor is that it is much easier on the graphics card. Overall, I'm completely pleased with my purchase, and I'm picky. I'm only a week in, but I love it.
