Looking for great 32" gaming monitor

[norcaltmtnbiker86]

Hi fellow nerds I'm looking for a new gaming monitor to purchase. I want a 32" display with great color so IPS, with at least 60hz or faster with fastest response time. G-Sync would be nice as well. I mostly play RPG and MMO games but I also casually play FPS. I can't have anything smaller then a 32" because I have tried 27" inch 1080p monitors on my PC and the size difference is too much of a down grade so size matters for me ; ) My current monitor is my old Samsung 32" 720p TV but I would like to go ultra HD for my new rig. I'm willing to pay up to $700 as I will purchase a new GPU to SLI. Any suggestions on the monitor I described? Links would be well appreciated. Thank you

New PC specs:
6700K-i7 Skylake, Asus Maximus Hero VIII mobo, 4x3200Mhz DDR4 G-Skill ram, Asus Strix GTX 970 plan to SLI, 2 Samsung 850 pro SSD + 1 3GB mass storage drive, NZXT Kraken X61 cooler, EVGA 850 watt P2 Platinum-80 PSU with red cable sleeves, all in NZXT H440 red/back case. Plan to get the new NZXT Hue+. This is my first PC build and I'm very proud of it just want the best monitor to get lost in the gaming world!

As far as a 32" 'Gaming' monitor, such a panel does not exist. Assuming you are expecting sub 10ms response times and high refresh rates. The closest panels available right now are the BenQ Bl3200PT or Samsung S32D850T VA 2560x1440 panels. Panel has fantastic colors and contrast ratio (3000:1) as well as no noticeable blur due to pixel transition. It is however still a 60Hz panel so response times are limited. No light bleed of any kind, viewing angles are great.

Out of your price range is the BenQ BL3201PH, a 32" 4K IPS Panel that sells for $1000.

Not yet released is the Acer XB321HK. It will feature G-Sync, 32" IPS, and 4K resolution. It will likely incorporate a G-Sync monitor into the same panel used on the BenQ 3201, expect the price to start somewhere around $1200.

I would highly recommend either the BenQ BL3200PT or the Samsung S32D850T if you are looking for an affordable 32" panel with low input lag, reasonable response time, and a not too demanding resolution of 2560x1440. I think you will really appreciate the nearly 3x as large static contrast ratio, blacks really pop.

I own the Samsung, it is the same panel.

Should help you out a bit.
