Design and Ergonomics

The INNOCN 32M2V is available in silver and matte black variants. I'm obviously reviewing the latter. The monitor sports a simple but refreshing design, but the build quality is far from spectacular. The entire rear side of the panel is very creaky, as are the joints connecting the monitor to the stand. When tilting or swiveling the panel, or adjusting its height, the 32M2V leaves the impression of a budget monitor, which it definitely isn't. On the other hand, whenever you're not touching it, you're likely to enjoy its straightforward, no-frills design.


The square(ish) base measures 280 mm (11.02 in) in width and 260 mm (10.24 in) in depth. That's very reasonable, considering it supports a large, 32-inch panel. It has a steel core, wrapped in matte black plastic, which seems to be quite resistant to fingerprints.


The stand is made from the same materials as the base. It has a cutout which you can use to route the cables. The width of the stand is sufficient to completely hide the cables from sight.


The screen of the INNOCN 32M2V can be tilted from -5 to +20°. Because of the sheer size of the panel, using both hands is recommended.


Also adjustable is the height of the panel. In the topmost position, the distance from the table to the bottom edge of the screen is 117 mm (4.6 in), and 40 mm (1.57 in) after pushing the screen as low as it will go. That gives the monitor a total height-adjustment range of 77 mm (3.03 in). Not sure how INNOCN came up with the 82 mm of vertical travel, as stated by the official technical specifications.


Removing the stand reveals four VESA 100x100 mounting holes. Those can be used to mount the monitor to a standard table or wall mount.


All four corners on the back of the panel have a small RGB lighting bar. You'll find it under "Ambient Lighting" in the OSD's Game Settings menu. Here you can choose the color of the bars and switch between static and flickering lighting. Or you can turn this feature off, which is the recommended course of action, as it adds nothing to the experience of using the 32M2V. As with most such lighting systems, the size and brightness of the LEDs is nowhere close to sufficient to actually illuminate the wall behind the monitor.
