Gigabyte M28U Release Date

andicole0 · 7 Sep 2021 at 08:59

Is there anyone here who has either sent one back or bought a b-grade? Any reviews?

I bought a B Grade and it was in mint condition with everything included, unlike my B Grade G9 I bought prior which had all cables missing.

I’m very happy with the purchase and the slight discount I got as price was bumped up by about £50 after I got it.

Cool @Phunky it looks like mine has shipped

Just noticed the recent new improved firmware update F06 is no longer available to download :confused:

I have it installed anyway and not had any issues but makes you wonder why it's no longer available.

It is still available to download but no longer listed.

I think some people were having issues with DisplayPort so they might have identified a bug and delisted it.

Ah ok, they must have found something i guess then. also on RTINGS comments page one user added that low latency mode is now working with Xbox and 24 fps support to.

Tested the Series X and can confirm all is working.

I’m still itching for the M32U and seen a few posts that suggest it maybe finally on its way…

@NikTheSHNIK any idea of a release date?

I have one, it's excellent.

@JediFragger where did you get it from? Not seen them on sale anywhere!

JediFragger · 13 Sep 2021 at 09:15

OcUK, they had stock last week (not much though!).

Phunky · 13 Sep 2021 at 09:15

Of the M32U? I've not even seen it in stock yet.

I know they've had the FI32U in for a while, but i'm after the M32U which should be a fair bit cheaper.

New or B grade?

Well look what has magically appeared on OcUK today, best get saving for when it comes in stock.

DeliciousStorage · 15 Sep 2021 at 15:28

This is finally in stock though only 3 left now, down from 9 a few hours ago.

Was 10+ stock at around 11am today.

Thought about buying one but with OCUK have to pay return costs myself in case of dead pixels whereas with the Bezos site it's free return.

Overclockers put the price up £60+ above MSRP due to high demand, but the reason you didn't order is return costs on the off chance that you get a defective unit?

Mine arrived yesterday. Fantastic screen so far.
I've heard that the latest firmware (F06) reduces the imput lag significantly (4ms to ~2ms) but it looks to have been pulled from the website.

Just a general PSA for those of you still running this firmware - I've heard of compatibility issues with HDMI and DP at high resolutions after upgrading to F06

F03 is the latest available firmware - https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/M28U/support#support-dl-firmware
