We’ve recently reviewed a couple of Monorpice’s Dark Matter gaming monitors. Both came in the 27-inch size, one with an FHD resolution and the other a QHD IGZO display. The company has just released a new offering: the Dark Matter 43548 32-inch QHD gaming monitor with 4 video ports, a 165Hz refresh rate, and an IPS panel.
IPS displays are great for gaming, and the latest Dark Matter QHD gaming monitor boasts four video ports: two HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort 1.2. All four ports support HDCP 2.2 as well. With a 165Hz native refresh rate with Adaptive Sync, this gaming monitor offers up a “tear-free gaming and entertainment experience.” The 2560×1440 resolution at 32-inches should be nice and crisp as well, and great for both PC and PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S gaming.
