QNIX3216R REAL 4K UHD 32 inch 3840X2160 AMD FreeSync IPS Technology LED Monitor

Many (most?) reviews are definitely FAKE!!! I used software to analyze the reviewers and most came back totally inauthentic!However, this is a real review by someone who really purchased this monitor.Why did I purchase this monitor? I was going to buy a Dell 32 inch 4k monitor, but the price was $1400. So basically this monitor was a thousand bucks cheaper. Being that I am not rich, I chose to gamble on a relatively unknown monitor from a relatively unknown brand, at least in America.These are the features I wanted in a monitor: 4K, 32 inches, HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort, IPS-like panel, good colors, low input lag and fast response time.Good news for anyone considering this monitor, I am glad I did gamble! The monitor arrived extremely quickly and well packaged from Korea. When I took it out of the box, it looked to be in great condition and I noticed no defects. When I hooked it up to my computer, I checked for any pixel defects. Luckily, there were none! Not a single bad pixel, not that I can notice at least.If there is a prettier screen somewhere, I don't know what it is - I literally cannot imagine a more beautiful picture quality. It looks simply gorgeous! Yes, you get a 32 inch display with full 2160p resolution. Colors are superb. VIewing angles are great I can watch practically from the side. My mother and I agree that 4k looks stunning.Here's what really matters to me. I am a gamer, a fanatical obsessed gamer. I play PS4 (just got the PS4 Pro) and PC games. It was important to me to have one screen for both platforms, since the monitor is in my bedroom and I don't have space for a TV and a monitor. This thing fits the bill. At first I had my reservations about gaming. I didn't know if the response time would be adequate compared to my previous monitor at that point, a Dell gaming monitor with gsync and a super fast 144 hz refresh rate. My old monitor was good too, don't get me wrong, and actually cost nearly twice as much, but it wasn't 4k or 32 inches.So, I hooked up my PS4 Pro and prayed that I could still game at the level I want. At first the PS4 Pro did not work, but I think that is a problem with the Pro and not the monitor. I had to boot up the Pro in safe mode and change to HDCP 1.4 by default. This fixed the problem and the games still play in 4k. I started playing The Last of Us, and it looks AMAZING. I have noticed details that alluded me previously. I can read the newspapers, signs, and various other tiny details that were only a blur before. The colors are great, the gaming feels smooth and fluid. I'm currently at UEC on grounded. It's a blast!Single player is great but all true gamers know multiplayer is what breathes longevity into games. Therefore, I loaded Uncharted 4 and quickly launched into a round of bounty hunter. I was concerned that I wouldn't have the same twitch response as on my gaming monitor. I had some bad games at first, getting adjusted. Then, shortly thereafter, I set my personal best - 44 downs with the FAL on New Devon. I am not a great gamer but I surpassed my previous personal best by 5 downs. At that point I knew I could game successfully on this monitor.Also, I have played PC games like Starcraft II and Civilization VI. All I can say is that they seem to work just fine - I only wish I were better. Stupid progamers with their stupid 500 APM... Switching between inputs is seamless with the included remote. Yea the remote is cheap but it works.Do I have any complaints? I experienced one instance in which the screen went black. I turned the monitor off and back on and have not experienced the issue again. Hopefully it was a 1 time deal. Also the built speakers are just average, as you would expect of any built in speakers on a monitor. I could not get audio out to work, but I hooked my PC and PS4 pro directly into my external speakers so it's not really an issue.Hmm let's see is there anything else to add? The stand is sturdy. The bezel is thin and the monitor seems well built. It has a nice textured finish on the back. The bottom of the monitor gets warm to the touch. There are a variety of calibrations you can perform and different settings to apply, but I just use standard. The game modes included seem to throw the picture off kilter somehow. One is way too faded, another too dark, so I'd stick with standard. The refresh rate is 60 hz. My 980 Ti gpu doesn't seem to have any problems outputting 4k.I guess I'll stop there. But yea, I like the monitor. I can't guarantee your experience will be similar but I took the gamble and I feel I saved a ton of money and got what I wanted. I don't normally review products but I felt like this deserved a review especially with the uncertainty surrounding the product. Thanks for reading and hope I helped!

I'm writing this review after almost a year of owning this monitor. Overall i'm VERY pleased of having purchased this monitorThe Plus:- Freesync enabled.- Excellent 1080p scaling.- Fully compatible with PS3 & PS4.- Supports 1600x1200 and other 4:3 resolutions over VGA.- Crisp and sharp image quality.- Plenty of inputs.- Very solid mount and frame.- Comes with a remote controller.The mediocre:- Freesync range needs some toying around.- Speakers are kinda meh.- Remote feels really, REALLY cheap.- Takes some ingenuity to set up (unless you're fluent in Korean).- Firmware updates reset all OSD... See point above.- Came with 3 dead pixels, but after a couple of weeks they started working again.- Cable included doesn't do HDMI 2.0, just 1.4.- OSD buttons are too stiff and uncomfortable.The Minus:- Practically no after-sales support.- No Display Port cable included.I wanted a monitor that was a bit like a "jack of all trades", to play on my PC and my consoles. The first two things that made me choose this monitor were the FreeSync support and the integrated speakers.It arrived quite fast considering it came all the way from Korea, no issues and well packaged. Anti Glare coating is very unobstructive and well made. Frame is actual metal, stand is also made from metal, and while it may look fragile, it is definitely not.This monitor looks way more premium than other "bigger" brands.Bundled accessories included a remote and an HDMI cable. HDMI cable is advertised to be "2.0 compatible", however plugging my RX 460 into it (only card i have which has HDMI 2.0) does not do 4K @ 60 Hz. Plugging another, 2.0 compliant, cable worked, so i can only blame the cable itself. It can most definitely work with HDMI 1.4 specs, as tested with my Fury X and PS4. It did not came with a DP cable, so i had to source my own. Considering this monitor's FreeSync only works with DP, this is a glaring omission. The bundled controller is cheap, but it works even after 10-11 months of use. I use it kinda often, and even new it felt really cheap, sometimes button presses are not recognized unless i do it twice, and it always flexes uncomfortably. Despite that i feel the controller to be better than the monitor buttons.Image quality is simply stunning. Doesn't come even close to my older 1080p Dell monitor, nor to any of my TVs. Certainly the panel is very good. After digging around, several other monitors with up to double the price use the same panel (AUO M320QAN01.0). Color accuracy is pretty decent, blacks are not as deep as IPS panels, but they're fairly good. Viewing angles are IPS-likeAudio is kind of meh. However, for a monitor which isn't expected to drive audio unlike a TV, just the fact that it has speakers is commendable. Despite that, audio is very mediocre, as speakers do not have any grills and are pointing backwards, so the sound comes out slightly distorted by the plastic back. It is understandable and somewhat clear despite that, a small open grill for speakers would be good for future revisions or as an interesting DIY project.FreeSync is definitely necessary, especially as, until Vega, there were no single GPU AMD graphic cards able to go over 60 FPS on games @ 4K, therefore, FreeSync is needed for low FPS to be able to get a butter smooth gaming experience. However, the ranges need some adjustment, as my monitor came ajusted to 48-65 Hz. Anything over 60 Hz makes my monitor flicker, as that exceeds both the panel and the DisplayPort specs (DP 1.2a maxes out at 3840 × 2160 @ 60 Hz) sothat behaves like an unstable overclock. I used a utility called CRU to properly configure both the maximum normal refresh to 60 Hz, and widen the FreeSync range to 35-60 Hz. That range works like a charm, and works perfectly for a single Fury X card.I had only one relatively minor gripe with the panel. It came with 3-4 dead pixels. However, at this resolution, pixels are as small as a pin tip, and only appreciated at very close distances (like, your nose is touching the screen). I couldn't notice these pixels under any gaming scenario, be it 4K or 1080p resolution. However, after 2 weeks of use he pixels reactivated themselves, and have been working fine since.Lastly, being this a non-known brand, comes the biggest con of this monitor, and it is the lack of any post-sales support (and even pre-sales support). However, if you do not cheap out on build quality or components, the only other area to cheap out is support, and this is clearly the route QNIX has gone. While it is needed from a brand reputation standpoint, if you build a good product it is not really needed, and taking into account i've underwent almost a year without any major issues, something i was glad to skip, however your mileage may vary.
