Yet no news from the C32HG75 a year later almost, it's Gsync sibling 🙁

I have a 24'' and it's too big for me, I have no idea how people use even bigger monitors! 😕
Now we need other brands like LG to pop up cheaper versions of this, I'm not selling my kidneys.

24" too big?? It's because you are 140 cm in length right 😀

I'll keep it in mind, monitors are not really my thing or my in-depth expertise though.

Damn, why do all modern monitors have to be curved? Looks like we are doomed to another marketing gimmick 🙁
Keesberenburg
I like the curve cause te outsite of the monitor have a better angle, it's better for the colours, lesser wasted out colours.
Octopuss
It makes sense for HUGE monitors I guess, but 32"?

Yeah, these are regional SKU codes. Per country, these can be different.
dragonlord
Ridiculous. It makes no difference with colors at all and NO difference on viewing angle on an IPS panel. You're falling for bullshit marketing hype that they pulled out of their ass so they could charge more money for the same old tech. Nothing more.
Bottom line: I'm a professional, so if it's curved, I'm not buying.

I can agree with you to a certain level. However, if you sit straight in front of your monitor (which I assume 99.99% of us do), and play a game or watch a movie, the curve does immerse you more. Especially at this size.
Hey I know, that's a subjective statement, and it is mine to make. But if I can give you an example: say 2-3 years ago when we all had to surround view / eyefinity e.g. three monitors to play your games. Did you set these up one by one in straight line sitting next towards each other, or was that the middle one straight in front of you and the right and left panels in a bit in an angle? There you go ... that's the feeling you get with a curved monitor for gaming, it does immerse. But I also understand it isn't for everybody.
And yes, for desktop, professional and heck even browsing. I prefer a square one as well.

The cheapo one that got CRUSHED by some media for airflow reasons. However, when set up right .. isn't an issue imho. Still using it without any problems (hey I like TRON, now you know why I use it):

Sure im not blind. Of the screen was smaller your right.

I want to ask that for enable 144 Hz i should have AMD GPU?
Hilbert Hagedoorn

No, 144 Hz is not tied to a brand for compatibility. If you want HDR & FreeSync though, this monitor is optimized for AMD Radeon.

i use a 27 monitor and i love it although lately i really want a 34'' 21:9 monitor the 32 inch 21:9 monitor is the same height as the 27 witch is ideal for my preference just a bit added to the side ...but consider i do not own a tv at all so my computer also serves as a movie center too for me ... i think it is a bit justified 😛
also this is so true ignore the tittle of the video just watch it ! [spoiler][youtube=7h646WXYJhw][/spoiler]

I have a curved 27 inch monitor, I didn't notice the difference at first - but you will see it when you go back to regular flat monitors. The curve wasn't why I got the monitor, it was an affordable 144hz monitor and the curve was simply a bonus.
The only difference I find however is I don't have to shift my eyes as much to look at the extremities. It feels more 'natural'.
With that said, if there are 2 exact monitors - one being curved, and the other flat, with the curve being $100 or more, I would go for the cheaper one.

"The Samsung C32HG70 claims a 1ms Motion Picture Response Time, and"
But Hilbert...
Did you test that settings in OSD, I mean faster/fastest, that enables blur reduction aka strobing? Because this is what enables 1ms MPRT. OFC, I bet it is less than 1ms in total, as I see wast difference between my sons qled samsung cfg27*** (FHD) something faster/fastest mode and my benqs Z2720XL benq blurr reduction. My TN is just better in it.
And, he has Vega 64, but prefer use this blur reduction mode instead freesync. I guess my infuence..:P

I really considered buying this monitor but Samsung took a very long time to release and the price was too high for my taste so i´ve bought a LG screen with almost the same specs for 500€ and i´m really happy with it. It gets a little hot after intensive use and the single button to control everything is a little annoying but other than that the monitor is great. To bad the panel suffers from some bleeding in the left corners but that comes with the territory from what i understand...

@Hilbert Hagedoorn
I own this monitor around two months now with the latest firmware 1019.1, do you see any ghosting when turning the camera around in a game that is cap at 60fps, example: MGS V because I do see ghosting only when a game is cap around 62fps or 60fps.
also go to Radeon Setting, Display, Color and then change Color Temp from Auto to 6500K, the colors should pop now.
Also note this monitor support 4K down sample to 1440p on console like PS4 Pro and Xbox X.

No Monitor is? Buy an expensive EIZO. I know it's so good that usually is for professionals, but imaging gaming, too. An EIZO over 2000 Euros could easily be perfect all-around. And please don't tell me ghosting and other such bs. EIZO knew, know and will know how to make perfect monitors. Just once had an EIZO and never wanted to leave it, but it was the era of relatively good flat screens and truly wanted to make the jump. If I decided to throw money on a good monitor, that would be an EIZO. I once ( recelntly ) found an CRT truly expecptional EIZO monitor for just 50 Euros. Couldn't believe it. But never buy things I would never use.
Nothing would make me me happier, even if we're talking for an HDR, 60FPS, 10 bit EIZO with 1080p resolution ( 24" and 1440p 27" ).
P.S. 1 Now truth to be told, don't know about Freesync or Gsync and whether they support 'em.
P.S. 2 Take a look... 1300 Dollars for this piece of art 4k with 160+ pixel density, 10 bit LUT, IPS, 60FPS panel -if you got the money, go for it.
