Opinions on Asus VP32UQ (31.5" 4K IPS)?

[spotnyk]

I'm currently looking at the Asus VP32UQ and trying to get some opinions. It's been difficult to find any reviews online (which is a bit of a red flag).

 

If there are other recommendations, I'm looking for a good larger 4K IPS display (60hz is fine for me).

 

Thanks!

Important question is for what will that monitor be used.

It would be replacing my Acer X34 PBMIPHZX (one of five monitors). For reasons I won't bore you with, I need to get away from an ultrawide for my primary, and into a 16:9/10 again. I am a software engineer (worked from home even before covid), and mostly use it for writing code and such, but I also game. I bought the predator as I was exploring high framerate gaming, and discovered that it makes very little difference to me with the games I play most (grand strategy, etc). Therefore I'm looking for something bigger'ish, high ppi, but don't need the pricy features generally attributed to "gaming". I will also not be doing any professional color grading, so that's not a big deal either.

Well if you don't have specific requirements this monitor should be good, but that also depends on price in your area. Generally I had and am having great experience with IPS panels that Asus uses. They are extremely responsive and have quite great colors for IPS.

after looking at the specs it's what i'd call base specs, usually when people look for a monitor these days it's either color work or high refresh, and if google's correct this monitor just came out in june 2021, with a majority of 4k panels before 2021 being 27inch for some reason (it's a mystery), the only alternative that i was able to find was the LG 32BN67U-B, it has a wider color gamut so depending on pricing in ur area, it's ur call.

 

Edit i did some further digging, seems 32inch ips is very limited, i did find a buncha VA offerings, so i'm assuming it's a cost issue, the 2017 version of the LG ips monitor is the 32UD99, review can be found here, not seeing too much diff in specs except adding hdr10

I just picked up a refurb for a good price. How's the lived experience going?
