According to Research And Markets, the global gaming market size is forecasted to reach up to USD 374 billion by 2026 as the popularity of console and PC gaming continues to grow. The rising popularity has also fueled the demand for advanced displays that are optimized for gaming performance. The world's leading computer brand, GIGABYTE, is now a well-established name in monitors, offering a wide array of tactical gaming monitors. To meet gamers' increasing demand, GIGABYTE's complete 4K gaming monitor lineup, available in a variety of sizes from 28 to 55 inches, features the HDMI 2.1 interface and 120 Hz or higher refresh rates to ensure a smooth gaming experience when paired with the new-gen consoles or desktop gaming PCs.

Designed with gamers' setup flexibility and ergonomic comfort in mind, GIGABYTE launched the Arm Edition gaming monitors on its popular M32U and M28U models. Coming with an ergonomic monitor arm for mounting directly to the desk, the Arm Edition can accommodate a wide range of desktop scenarios from PC gaming, console gaming, to even streaming media, realizing the true 4K entertainment. Unlike the general desktop stands or the traditional C-clamp mount design, the Arm Edition takes up virtually no footprint, significantly saving desktop space. With its thinnest point at only 5 mm, it can adapt to various installation scenarios, allowing for more efficient use of the desktop space.




Another highlight of the 4K gaming monitor family is the M32UC, the world's first 31.5-inch 4K 144 Hz curved gaming monitor, which is also a very popular option highly recommended by Rtings. The 1500R curvature is more in line with the human eyes. Thanks to the SuperSpeed VA panel, the response time can be shortened to 1 ms for an extremely smooth and immersive gaming experience. The excellent color contrast and high refresh rate make M32UC earned Rtings' Best Dark Room 4K Gaming Monitor and Best Curved Monitor For Console Gaming.

wtf is this!? Did they just re-release the same 2 year old monitor with a different stand and price bump? Did they at least fix the gimped hdmi 2.1 of the original?

And they are also giving a nice cashback on top of it

You need to take one look at that photo to realize that this type of stand actually takes much more space than a regular monitor arm.

I like what LG did with their "Ergo" display line more - this arm from GB seems to only work with rectangular desks - what about corner ones?

As for the Gigabyte displays themselves - I bought M32Q for around 320€ (VAT tax included) and it's the best option for the price - it has some backlight bleed, but the overall quality is way above it's price tag.

LG's Ergo Stand has three points of articulation with more axes of movement at each point, giving it a large range of motion. This "arm" can only tilt and swivel. There's no height-adjustment or lateral motions available—the panel only appears to move in smooth arcs. Who the hell designed this thing, and why?

Guess this is one of those ideas that came out of their "brainstorm" meetings
I've been in some of those in Taiwan and it's largely a matter of agreeing with and applauding the great ideas that the boss has...

The LG Ergo is a regular arm that allows for normal monitor arm articulation. This is a botched attempt at a monitor arm that will only inflate the price of the product and a copy of a previous fail from samsung
