We’re not sure that many people will need to use it regularly but it’s there and will support the entire monitor’s 10.9kg bulk. At the top of the stand is a carrying handle. There’s also a generous 130mm of height adjustment. It offers a great degree of adjustability too. What you’re left with is a very solid support system. The stand meanwhile uses two clips to securely affix to the screen. The base is like a spiky boomerang that an Australian ninja might use and utilizes a single, hand-screw to affix to the stand. We’re big fans of easy-to-assemble monitor stands, and the Gigabyte Aorus FI32U has one. Stock issues have apparently delayed release in the UK. The Aorus FI32U gaming monitor is available now in the US and Australia where it costs $999 and AU$1,499 respectively.

The OSD is accessed by an intuitive joystick-button at the base of the screen or Gigabyte’s OSD SideKick software. The latter can be used as a KVM switch whereby you keep the keyboard and mouse attached to the monitor and can use them with different computers – quite useful in these days of working from home when you might be regularly switching between home and work PCs. There’s also DisplayPort 1.4, two USB-A 3.0 ports, plus USB-B and USB-C. There are two HDMI 2.1 ports to allow 144Hz refresh rates at the full, 4K resolution (and 120Hz for current-gen consoles). There’s even a handle at the top should you want to carry it. It tilts, swivels and rotates to generous degrees and can be raised and lowered by a full 13cm. The two-piece stand is solid and clips together without tools. It’s also very good for office work with a crisp and clean Windows 10 desktop being displayed and small fonts being rendered readably without distortion.Įrgonomics are good too.

Switching to the monitor’s FPS preset mode brightens dark areas up, but the Black Equalizer feature works best at destroying picture quality in order to reveal baddies hiding in the shadows.
