ARZOPA 32” 4K UHD (3840x2160) Gaming Monitor 144HZ IPS Screen, Height Adjustable Stand, VESA Mountable, Support AMD Freesync & NVIDIA G-Sync, DP 1.4, HDMI 2.1 -M3RC

I am a real reviewer who bought this monitor with my own money.This think works great. I can't find anything to really complain about and if you knew me you'd know I can usually find **something** I don't like.This monitor just works right out of the box with no fiddling needed. Colors look great to me without needing any adjustment and the monitor works flawlessly at 4K 144Hz / 120Hz / 60Hz over both DisplayPort and HDMI. (But if using a USB C to HDMI adapter make sure the one you're using doesn't use chroma subsampling which can make fine details such as small colored text hard to read. I've tried a few different adapters bought from Amazon that had that problem. I'd recommend sticking with DisplayPort adapters instead of HDMI.)When running motion tests such as the "UFO tests" 4K 120Hz is visibly sharper than 60Hz, and 144Hz is slightly sharper than 120Hz. Since this monitor is based on LCD technology there is a small amount of apparent (optical illusion) motion blur due to the sample-and-hold nature of the technology. Because of this motion on CRTs and OLEDs will always look noticeably sharper at the same frame rate.I run Linux on my computer and am using a USB C to DisplayPort adapter running through an inexpensive DisplayPort KVM switch then connected to this monitor. Everything works flawlessly and completely stably at the full 4K 144Hz. I did find out that Linux can have issues with HDMI particularly when using AMD based integrated or discrete GPUs. DisplayPort is the way to go to make sure you have no problems. I like that the monitor can use HDMI or USB C connections in addition to DisplayPort.The stand that comes with this monitor is easy to attach without tools and completely serviceable. It allows you to adjust the height of the monitor as well as the angle both left / right and up / down. This is the first monitor I've bought in a long time where I haven't needed to immediately replace the included stand with a better VESA stand.There are a few things which I don't care about but others might. The RGB decoration lights on the back are very dim so you won't notice them even in a dark room unless you're looking directly at the back of the monitor. The monitor uses a 24V power brick which can be harder to replace than the usual 12V brick, 19V brick or 120V (US) cable. The on screen display features are about par for the course on inexpensive monitors and aesthetically the on screen display looks ugly. The buttons (on the bottom edge) are labelled on the bottom where you can't see the labels instead of on the front edge where it would make sense so you have to remember which button does what. The black border around the displayed image is thicker than it looks in the ad's photos. This is no cable management built into the stand.Overall this is a fantastic monitor especially at this steal of a price. Definitely recommended.

When something is significantly cheaper than alternatives, you're going to have to sacrifice.This panel appears to be the same as the one used in the Gigabyte m32u, so I figure I'd risk it.The monitor is no frills, the OSD is terrible, but it works!Dead pixel in the bottom left of the screen, could have sent it back, but with it being 4k it's tiny and I can only see it if I put my head 6 inches away from the screen when black is being displayed. Maybe if it was in the middle of the screen it'd be a deal breaker.I highly recommend turning down the brightness. This monitor is bright, VERY bright, but set at 100 blacks look terrible.It's an IPS panel so blacks are going to be terrible anyway, but they're better with the brightness turned down to 15.The stand seems fine, adjustable in every which way. No complains.HDR mode locks out a lot of the display adjustment settings, personally I leave it off.Colors looks great, 144hz is amazing. If you can live with a dead pixels and a bare bones monitor, this is for you. If not, spend $200 more.

Monitor ReviewI'm giving this monitor five stars based on its performance after setup (more on that below). I primarily use it with my MacBook Pro (M1 Max), and occasionally with an Xbox Series X and PS5. I’ve mounted it on a monitor arm (which was a hassle—details below), so I can’t comment on the included stand. Compared to my old budget 4K monitor from the early pandemic days, this one has significantly better color accuracy, vividness, and viewing angles.Upgrading from 28" to 32" took a little adjustment, but the size now feels just right. On my old monitor, I often noticed compression artifacts in dark streaming scenes—those are gone now. I'm not a serious gamer, but for what the Xbox Series X and PS5 can push, this monitor performs beautifully. I haven’t used the built-in speakers since I stick with my trusty external speaker + subwoofer setup, which easily outperforms built-ins anyway. Even the packaging gave off a high-end vibe.SetupSetup was frustrating. The VESA mount is 75 x 75 mm, and while my monitor arm supports that size, its mounting plate was too wide to fit into the recessed socket on the back of the monitor. I initially hacked together a DIY solution (which worked but was annoying). Only later did I find a pack labeled “Wall Mount Screw” in the box—those were the intended spacers and worked great. With them, the mount has a small gap but feels very secure (see photo).Device setup was a mixed bag. Xbox and PS5 worked flawlessly—true plug-and-play. The MacBook required some finagling to get both native resolution and scaled UI looking right. This is more of a macOS limitation—Apple doesn't give users enough control over resolution and UI scaling separately, although I haven't had this issue with a 4k before.My last gripe: the monitor’s on-screen menu system is unintuitive, and adjusting settings was more tedious than it should be.Final ThoughtsDespite the rocky setup, once everything is dialed in, this monitor delivers excellent value. It performs like monitors that cost nearly twice as much. Definitely worth the effort.
