INNOCN 32M2V

Inle · 2024-07-23T18:34:00+0100

The INNOCN 32M2V is a 32-inch gaming monitor equipped with a 4K Quantum Dot IPS panel and a 1,152-zone Mini-LED backlight system. As such, it's fully equipped for an impressive HDR gaming experience. Even more intriguing is its price: it costs less than half of what you'd normally have to pay for a similarly specced panel.

I was considering buying one of these but not if it can't seamlessly switch between HDR and SDR. That would become a daily headache.

I own the 27M2V (smaller panel but same number of dimming zones) and have been enjoying it. I have yet to calibrate it as I lack a colorimeter.

I noticed significant local dimming blooming when viewed off axis, most noticeable with things on a completely black background.

The HDR and SDR switching has been find for me. I use the Windows + alt + B shortcut to change between HDR and SDR. The monitor reacts accordingly, and turns off local dimming in SDR.

Having said that, the INNOCN 32M2V is fully equipped to display HDR content properly

No, it isn't. 1.1k zones servicing 8MP+ means each zone services ~8,000 pixels, or 100x80 box. That may not seem like much, but 100 pixels is about the height of the Windows taskbar. Far to blocky for anything but the most casual HDR.

In my opinion, this is fine for general HDR. Only thing it would meaningfully struggle with would be things like very bright stars or sparks.

I agree. 100x80 box is way too big. That's like the size of the Start button.

A 25x20 box (~500 pixels) would be pretty nice.

$800 for an LCD? Aren't 4K240 OLED monitors for around $1000? What's the advantage of this one?

The silver version of the 32M2V is 550 USD on US Amazon at the moment. The black one is 650 USD.

Make it glossy, improve the firmware support for hdr switching, get officially gsync compatible certified. Could be a winner.

Maybe in US. In EU it's ~800-850$ (VAT incl.).

It's both funny and tragic - I can buy a 65" miniLED TV for the same price!!! 4K >120Hz PC monitors are ridiculously overpriced...

Is it a 1yr warranty or 3yrs?
hmm USD to CAD x 1.37 + 13% tax = $1130 cad ;(

for $300cad....................so 160hz refresh rate and mini led backlighting is a $700 extra

Metroid · 2024-07-23T22:59:56+0100

Too late, we at the west have many options at the moment.
