Know before you buy
The 1800R curve creates a wrap-around effect that brings the edges of the 32-inch screen closer to your peripheral vision. This design helps reduce distortion and makes the display feel more immersive, especially during fast-paced gaming sessions.
With a 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium support, this monitor is well-suited for smooth, tear-free gameplay. While the 5ms response time is solid for most genres, competitive esports players who require sub-1ms speeds might find it slightly slower than specialized tournament-grade panels.
At 32 inches, a 1080p resolution results in a lower pixel density compared to smaller monitors. You may notice individual pixels if you sit very close to the screen, but it remains perfectly adequate for casual gaming and general media consumption from a standard desk distance.
Yes, the monitor is VESA mount compatible with a 100 x 100mm pattern. This allows you to easily attach it to a third-party monitor arm or wall mount to save desk space.
The monitor features BlueLightShield to filter out harmful blue light and Flickerless technology to eliminate screen flickering. These features work together to reduce eye fatigue during long gaming sessions or extended periods of computer use.
The monitor is equipped with two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort. This allows you to keep multiple devices, such as a PC and a gaming console, connected simultaneously without needing to swap cables.
