After the Aorus FI32U, Gigabyte is launching another 32-inch monitor with UHD resolution, 144 Hz, HDMI 2.1 and a KVM switch. The Aorus M32U lacks RGB lighting and pivot, but at around 830 euros it is currently the cheapest model in its class.
M32U is the cheapest with 32 inches, UHD and 144 Hz
The Aorus M32U has recently been available in stores at the said price. At 829 euros it is 170 euros cheaper than the Aorus FI32U and currently the cheapest 32-inch monitor with 3840 × 2160 pixels and 144 Hz.
The differences to the FI32U
The key data of the M32U read very similarly to those of the FI32U. An IPS panel with 1 ms MPRT, simulated 10-bit color depth, 90 percent DCI-P3, up to 400 cd/m² for DisplayHDR 400 and FreeSync Premium Pro are both included in the data sheet. Both models also have two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4 (with DSC support) and a USB-C connection.

There is no microphone input with ANC technology on the M32U, instead it has the integrated loudspeakers ahead of the FI32U. Furthermore, the cheaper model lacks the portrait mode (pivot).
RGB does not exist
The most noticeable difference, however, is of an optical nature: If the FI32U has a striking design with RGB lighting elements in the base and display housing, the M32U has a much simpler design and does not light up.

This function is rare in gaming monitors and Gigabyte was the first to introduce this feature in the Aorus series.
