So about the features of this C32HG70 I had just purchased, this monitor was €200 more than the other 32' VA monitors, they just lacked lacked Quantum Dots and Local Dimming, this made me really question my decision, because after having tested the Local Dimming, HDR and Overdrive function, I just wasn't impressed at all, it had weird software decisions such as locking certain settings, even brightness when enabling the faster Overdrive levels, because they used strobing, so that's when I decided to order a second monitor, the much cheaper Acer model (this would also allow me to see how much of a difference the Quantum Dots actually made).

So this smearing only turned out to be apparent in fast paced online shooters, which actually didn't bother me in the slightest as in these online shooters, I tend to turn down most graphical settings anyway, to get an advantage over my opponents as some video settings allow you to see better, so when I did fast movements and there were black trailing behind objects or characters in front of me, I just ignored it, over time I didn't notice it much.

I could notice black trails right away, but I also quickly realized this wasn't as big of an issue I had been led to believe, because when I watch a movie it's running at such a slow frame rate that there is no smearing, same goes for photo editing, it's just not an issue, neither in a single player game locked to 60 FPS, since I like to use NVIDIA DSR, rendering the game above my monitors native resolution, at 4K or 5K, meaning a low frame rate. My first impression was nothing short of mind blowing, the size and curve was absolutely incredible, I instantly knew that there's no going back, ever, to anything smaller, or a flat screen, 32' is just an incredibly perfect size for a computer monitor, it's that sweet spot between too small and too big.īut I quickly noticed what everyone had warned me about, redditors, forum users and reviewers, no matter where you went you'd find complaints about VA panels being slow, with smearing, compared to TN and IPS, and this was indeed the case. So I bought a Samsung C32HG70 with the SVA (Samsung VA) panel featuring local dimming and quantum dots. So these new (at the time) 32' Curved VA 1440p 144Hz panels were very attractive, the size, curve and panel type promised a great movie experience as well as immersive single player game experiences, on top of that it had a 144Hz refresh rate so it would work in faster first person shooters too, just not as well as TN or IPS.

The only alternatives at the time 27-32' VA/IPS 4K 60Hz which were unusable for gaming because of the refresh rate, 27' TN 1440p 165Hz being poor in videos and photo editing, and 24.5' TN 1080p 240Hz, even worse at videos and editing. At the time of purchase this monitor was €500, still being sold today for around that price.Īt the time there were no 4K 120Hz monitors, they came out (without FALD) 6 months later, or 1440p 240Hz which came out a whole year later. The monitor I chose and have been using for the past 2 years is an Acer 32' VA 1440p 144Hz G-Sync Compatible HDR (93 PPI) 1800R Curve, calibrated to 120cd/m2 sRGB and 250cd/m2 HDR. I essentially need my monitor to do all 3, and this is the reason why I ended up using a VA panel over TN or IPS.

I watch movies, and TV shows, mostly in 4K, and in HDR (conversion through MadVR to a 250 nits calibrated profile). I do photo editing, in Photoshop as a hobby, so I calibrate my monitors with an X-Rite i1Display Pro. I game, mostly fast paced online first person shooters, but any big single player game might also be played here and there. LG 55' 4K OLED 120Hz G-Sync Compatible HDR (80 PPI)
