The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P is a flat 32-inch, 4k gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. As a part of Gigabyte's premium AORUS gaming brand, alongside the Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3, it competes with an increasing number of other 32-inch QD-OLED models, such as the Dell Alienware AW3225QF, the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, and the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED. Its stand-out feature is support for DisplayPort 2.1, so the monitor can work at its maximum 240Hz refresh rate without using Display Stream Compression (DSC), provided your graphics card supports this. It also has productivity features such as a USB-C port with up to 65W of power delivery and a KVM switch that makes it easy to multitask with different computers. Lastly, it has features to reduce the risk of OLED burn-in and a three-year warranty against burn-in, although this can change across different countries.
Our Verdict
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P is fantastic for PC gaming. Its near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity are ideal for dark room gaming, as blacks look deep and inky. It also gets bright enough for highlights to pop, and colors look rich and vivid. It has a 240Hz refresh rate, so motion looks extremely crisp, and it feels very responsive. Although it supports all common VRR formats, it has some VRR flicker with changing frame rates in darker scenes.

The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P is great for office use, but there are some limitations. Its high-resolution 4k display produces excellent text clarity, and its large screen lets you display multiple windows at the same time. However, while it works well with a few lights around, it doesn't get bright enough to fight strong glare. Additionally, it has the risk of permanent burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time, which is a problem if you're only using it for office work.

Decent reflection handling.
- USB hub and KVM switch.
- Sharp text and image clarity.
- Risk of burn-in.
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P is incredible for photo and video editing. It displays a wide range of vivid colors and is extremely accurate before calibration. Its large 4k screen provides a detailed workspace for editing content, and you can easily have multiple windows open at the same time. It also gets bright enough for small highlights to pop, which is excellent if you're editing in HDR. However, if there's a lot of light shining on the screen, it appears slightly purple, so you'll have more difficulty editing very dark content accurately if this occurs. Also, there is the risk of permanent burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time, like if you always have your editing programs on the screen.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P is an outstanding gaming monitor for PC and console gamers, and it is one of the best monitors on the market. Its 4k resolution ensures a detailed image, and its 240Hz display provides a crisp and responsive feel. It displays deep blacks next to bright highlights in a dark room, and small highlights pop. Like the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, it has several features that enhance productivity, such as a USB-C port and a KVM switch. Its stand-out feature is support for DisplayPort 2.1, so it's future-proof if you want to use the display without Display Stream Compression (DSC). However, it doesn't have Dolby Vision support, so if that's important, you may want to consider another similar monitor like the Dell Alienware AW3225QF, which has Dolby Vision, or the ASUS, which will receive Dolby Vision support in a future update.
Also, see our recommendations for the best OLED monitors, the best gaming monitors, and the best HDR gaming monitors.
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM and the Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P are both 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitors with very similar performance. The ASUS is the better choice if you plan to watch a lot of movies, as it supports Dolby Vision after a firmware update. However, the Gigabyte is a better choice for console gamers, as it has lower input lag at both 60Hz and 120Hz. The Gigabyte is also a better choice if future-proofing is important to you, as it supports DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth and doesn't require Display Stream Compression to reach its maximum resolution and refresh rate.
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P and the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED are 32-inch 4k @ 240Hz QD-OLED monitors. The MSI is better if you have a laptop that draws a lot of power, as it provides up to 90W of power delivery over USB-C. The MSI is also a better option if you're sensitive to VRR flicker. However, the Gigabyte is a better option if you want to use the monitor as a USB hub, as its USB-A ports are much faster.
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P and the Dell Alienware AW3225QF are 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitors that have a very similar performance. If you prefer a curved display or plan to watch a lot of movies, the Dell is the better choice, as it has a 1700R curve, supports Dolby Vision, and has an eARC port for sending audio to a soundbar or receiver. However, if you plan to use your monitor for editing or productivity work, the Gigabyte is a better option. In addition to having a flat panel, it also has a KVM switch, provides 65W of power delivery over USB-C, and supports DisplayPort Alt mode.
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P and the MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED are both 32-inch 4k 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors. Both monitors have very similar performance and UHBR20 support, and for most people the better option is whichever one you can find cheaper. However, if you're gaming in a brighter room, the Gigabyte is a better option, as it gets brighter in SDR. However, the MSI is a better option if you're connecting a laptop that draws lots of power, as it delivers much more power over USB-C.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
