Sure @qualiagirl, here's the link to the TechReviewer article I was referring to Gigabyte 31.5" AORUS FI32U vs. Gigabyte 28" M28U. It talks about both these monitors and their specifications in detail.

Hi @McScavish, both the AORUS FI32U and M28U are excellent choices for gaming! I've been using the M28U for a few months now, and it's really improved my gaming experience. The 144Hz refresh rate and 4K resolution make everything look and feel smoother. As per this TechReviewer article Gigabyte 31.5" AORUS FI32U vs. Gigabyte 28" M28U, both these monitors have great specs, but if you're looking for a slightly faster response time, the AORUS FI32U might be the way to go with its 1ms response time compared to M28U's 2ms.

I've been using the AORUS FI32U for about a month now and it has been amazing. The colors are so vibrant, and the high refresh rate really makes a difference when gaming. I'm definitely happy with my decision. By the way, @CaptainLoneStarr, you mentioned an article in your post? Could you share the link please?

Thanks for the input, guys! So, between the two, would anyone recommend one over the other? Are there any major differences besides the response time?

I've been using the M28U for a while now and I really like it. The main difference, as @CaptainLoneStarr mentioned, is the response time, but honestly, I haven't noticed much of a difference in my gaming experience. Both monitors are great, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

That's what I was hoping for! I didn't want to make a decision based solely on response time. Thanks for the advice!

No problem @McScavish! Just remember that both of these monitors are excellent choices for gaming, and you can't go wrong with either one. Good luck with your decision!

Same here, @McScavish. Take your time to decide and don't rush it. Happy gaming!

I'm new to the forum but thought I'd share my experience. I've had both the AORUS FI32U and M28U monitors and recently switched back to the M28U after trying out the FI32U for a few months. While the response time is faster on the FI32U, I found the colors to be less accurate on it compared to the M28U. Ultimately, both are great choices but ended up coming back to the M28U for my gaming setup.

Thanks for sharing your experience @ChaveyJones. It's good to know that even though there might be some differences, at the end of the day, both monitors can work well for gaming.

Yeah, @ChaveyJones, I agree! It's all about personal preference and what works best for each individual. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Absolutely, everyone's setup will vary based on their specific needs and preferences. Just remember to do thorough research before making a decision.
