Order was placed, now to make more room on my computer desk lol!

It's not exactly clear to me. Which one did you buy? The 27" or the 32"?

I am the curious sort.

p5200 · May 3, 2025

I bought the 32, wasn't sure if 3" larger would have made much difference with my Glaucoma and Diabetes vision problems or not.

Acer Nitro XZ322QU V3bmiiphx Review

The Acer Nitro XZ322QU V3bmiiphx is an entry-level 32-inch gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution and a 180Hz maximum refresh rate. It sits above Acer's 32-inch ...

Out of curiosity, why did you choose that monitor, among the various 32" class 1440p monitors on the market? I don't intend that as a criticism. Maybe you have criteria that could inform others.

Not knowing much about the various tech meanings, I just picked that one. Got tired of looking, when I didn't understand all the different specs. If, it turns out to be troublesome I'll use my 30 day return option. Mine says XV323QU not sure what the difference is if anything.

Searching ACER, that difference in model number is a SINGAPORE model! I hope the are not going to ship me a 240 volt model I'd better check.

Wow, had to cancel. It is indeed, a 240 volt model and won't do me any good. Back to the drawing board I guess!

I'm open to suggestions between 2 and 300 dollar budget. Thanks!

Being curved feature, are their any draw-backs? I'm looking at the top pick from this link. Best 32-Inch Gaming Monitors

When checking the Amazon price, the specs show 240 volts? Surely they mean 120-240 volts as I've seen with monitors else where? If so, they need to be more specific.

Call me an optimist, but I doubt that Amazon in the US would sell a monitor that couldn't operate on US 120V. (It's a Sold By Amazon item.)

rtings.com like this one, but not so much for gaming:

LG 32GN650-B/32GN63T-B Review

Its relatively slow response wouldn't affect your use, I believe. $225 at Amazon.

I'd prefer an IPS display:

Or, if you have a local BestBuy:

For my own use, I would have preferred a 3840 X 2160 display at 32". The suggested text scaling in Windows 11 is 150%, so the text size would be the same as 100% in a 2560 X 1440 display. (You could go higher than 150%, if needed.) But I believe that would take you into the <$350 range (at the low end).

I won't be gaming, I watch a You tube now and then but that's about it.

I found the Samsung on Amazon for the same price. If that seems like a decent buy to you, I'll go for it. Like I say, I don't know much about monitors. Thanks!

You'd be paying a little extra for a fast gaming monitor.

I don't own one of the Samsungs.

Buying from amazon may be a a good idea, if only because of their liberal return policy.

None of the flat panel monitors I've owned has suffered from unsharp text. The edge lit LCD ones have had light bleed.

My current primary monitor is OLED. No light bleed or blooming. But not a $300 monitor.

p5200 · May 3, 2025

I think I'll order the Samsung. For my use I think it will be fine but, I'll have to buy speakers for it though. I have a set but, they have seen their better days lol! Thanks for the help!

I hope that you won't be cursing me after you receive it.

I admit to some bias. I prefer monitors that would be OK for photo editing, like that one.
