Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70
Gigabyte M32UC
The Gigabyte M32UC and the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 are both great 4k, 32-inch monitors with a few differences. They have different panel types, so while the Samsung has wider viewing angles, the Gigabyte has a better contrast for deeper blacks. The Gigabyte also gets brighter both in SDR and HDR. However, in terms of gaming, the Samsung monitor has better motion handling thanks to its quicker response time.
