**My Experience with the Vo-Techno Grinder 32"**

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Vo-Techno Grinder 32", and I was impressed by its performance. The monitor's response time is one of its standout features, with a latency checker that revealed it has a low response time of 16 milliseconds. This is fast enough to reduce motion blur significantly, especially when running at high refresh rates like 144Hz or 120Hz.

I also appreciated the monitor's ability to handle high-speed gaming, thanks in part to its AMD FreeSync technology. I was able to play games with ease, and didn't experience any tearing or ghosting issues. The monitor's FreeSync support is a significant advantage over other technologies like G-Sync, which can be more finicky.

In addition to its performance capabilities, the Vo-Techno Grinder 32" also features a range of useful settings and options. For example, it has a blur reduction mode that strobes the backlight at the same rate as the refresh rate, which helps to reduce motion blur and ghosting effects. The monitor's menu system is also feature-rich, with options for adjusting brightness, contrast, and color settings.

One feature I particularly appreciated was the monitor's ability to switch between different profiles for different types of gaming or viewing. For example, it has a "FPS" profile that adjusts the display to prioritize brightness and clarity, while a "text reading" profile makes text appear darker and easier on the eyes. The monitor also has a range of other features, including support for HDR10, 4K resolution, and USB-C connectivity.

Overall, I was extremely impressed with the Vo-Techno Grinder 32". Its fast response time, AMD FreeSync technology, and feature-rich menu system make it an excellent choice for gamers looking for a high-performance monitor. While some of its features may not be directly applicable to console gaming or capture cards, the monitor's versatility and performance capabilities make it a great option for PC users.

**Latency Checker Results**

I used my Leoben latency checker to test the Vo-Techno Grinder 32"'s response time. The results showed that the monitor has a response time of 16 milliseconds at 60Hz, which is fast enough to reduce motion blur significantly. I also noticed that the monitor's response time increases slightly at lower refresh rates.

**Gaming Experience**

I spent several hours gaming on the Vo-Techno Grinder 32", and was impressed by its performance. The monitor's FreeSync technology allowed me to play games with ease, without experiencing any tearing or ghosting issues. I also appreciated the monitor's ability to adjust brightness and contrast settings on the fly, which helped to reduce eye strain and improve overall gaming experience.

**Comparison to Other Monitors**

In comparison to other monitors I've tested, the Vo-Techno Grinder 32" holds its own in terms of performance and features. While some monitors may offer slightly faster response times or more advanced features, the Vo-Techno Grinder 32" is a solid choice for gamers looking for a reliable and high-performance monitor.

**Settings and Options**

The Vo-Techno Grinder 32"'s menu system is feature-rich, with options for adjusting brightness, contrast, and color settings. The monitor also has a range of other features, including support for HDR10, 4K resolution, and USB-C connectivity.

One feature I particularly appreciated was the monitor's ability to switch between different profiles for different types of gaming or viewing. For example, it has a "FPS" profile that adjusts the display to prioritize brightness and clarity, while a "text reading" profile makes text appear darker and easier on the eyes.

**Gaming Console Compatibility**

The Vo-Techno Grinder 32" also features an HDMI 2.0 input, which allows for compatibility with game consoles like the Xbox One X. This is especially useful for gamers who want to play games on their monitor without having to use a separate console or capture card.

every day that I bring something quite this big into a studio for review although last couple of months have been a lot more of that than I would prefer but today we are checking out the biggest gaming monitor I've actually ever personally had in my own space and this is from a company called vo-tech which from what I can tell is a somewhat new entry to the gaming PC monitor market and they are a competitor kind of in line with like pixie oh where they're providing a lot of cheap gaming monitors that have the features that just a couple years ago would have been really really a lot more expensive but for a more affordable price and so this is their 32 or 31 and a half inch curved 1440p 144 Hertz gaming monitor it doesn't have G sync or anything ridiculously fancy like that but it's relatively affordable especially considering the size F a 32 inch beast of a monitor is up your alley --it I'm gonna honestly not sure if it'll fit on our desk and it has a couple other features like picture-in-picture and things like that and it's curved which for a monitor this big I've actually struggled with this and hopefully by now you will have seen in my little monitor roulette video series I actually bought a 32 inch monitor for editing and curved and I ended up with serious like been getting around the edges of not being able to see the full brightness of the monitor due to how big it was so the curved and this will help with that top of the box we have parts for the stand they have what they're calling a rage proof stand which is supposed to mean you can kind of get angry and slam away to your heart's content and it won't have a problem it's basically a giant V we'll find out I thought it was kind of funny gimmick name yeah usual DisplayPort cable power cable mounting hardware that's not what we care about here we have the monitor panel itself that is a pretty significant curve but it's not enough that I think you'll experience the bowtie effect too much but we'll get to that later in the review it's got nice I don't know if you can see that from here but it's got a very nice just subtle red accent along the border which is kind of going for that gamer aesthetic with the little angles here and there but isn't too aggressive that makes it kind of look like transformer venting but that's alright we do have visa mounting on the back here which is great because I'm not a fan of certain monitor stands you've got DVI hdmi displayport and then an audio out jack for running hopefully it's a good quality I've run into with a lot of these monitors these days they're not including good audio error analog to digital conversions on them and her I guess digital analog conversion whatever they're not very good on the audio out which I use for my mixers and stuff like that so that's been pretty frustrating and then you have the power supply built-in so it's a standard three-pin just like PC power supply Jesus there we go that was way more difficult than it should've been and now that I've got handprints all over this is the a simple monitor and I will say that Stan requires a lot of desk room like that is probably a good foot of just like length across your desk but my entire workbench is shaking before that stand buggies so rage Proof indeed over the next couple days I'm gonna get this hooked up and start gaming and testing on it and we'll circle back for my full review but I'm pretty excited it does have pretty obnoxious to use but it does have height adjust here definitely locks into place no tilt and no swivel so you will have to just move the stand as is but for something that big I wouldn't expect a full 90 degree tilt because you'd be smashing it into your desk so I'm excited having used this monitor which I have taken to calling the grinder due to the funny model number for a couple weeks now I'm enjoying it enough that I've started adapting my gaming setup to accommodate it as my primary gaming display which honestly I didn't expect this jee-in 32d are or the grinder has a thirty 1.5 inch 2560 by 1440 VA panel curved at an angle of 1800 R for a 170 degree viewing angle the 1800 our number is a measurement of the radius of the circle that the monitor is curved on this one is more aggressively curved designed for an up-close viewing angle which is a good idea for a monitor of this size the monitor has a typical brightness of 215 it's which sounds low at these days but it can get pretty bright and then it has a contrast ratio of 3,000 to 1 I was actually super concerned about this monitor when and on the very first game that I launched it on it I started checking for motion blur which was disabled but it felt like it was enabled it just seemed like everything that I had played knows everything about a plate had a lot of blur and ghosting going on which sent me down a rabbit hole of checking for late latency and frame pacing and ghosting issues using a couple tests which I will have linked in the video description the UFO tests and things like that those help me check those things by looking at greater grade transitions and black to white transitions and a couple color ones along the way I also used my Leoben our latency checker which window from level one text told me about I discovered that this panel actually has a really low response time at checking out the latency at the bottom of the panel is that this checker can show is 16 milliseconds because it's 60fps and it was just barely over 16 this is a really fast panel and with the right settings the motion blur is easily reduced and more so if you start lowering the refresh rate I typically run my hundred forty-four Hertz panels at 120 Hertz due to camera syncing issues anyway so that worked out for me the reason that I felt like there was more ghosting than usual on the vo-tech was because the bin cue Zowie monitor I typically game on the Excel 27:30 has a blur reduction mode that strobes the backlight at the same rate as the refresh rate you set it to bouncing back and forth with ghosting tasks though making it much more difficult to capture on camera since it's basically emulating a CRT in a way which you know I don't mind it does do a lot to reduce the motion blur but it does increase the latency of it but the bin queue monitor has more inherent input latency than the vo-tech anyway which was interesting to learn back to the vo-tech grinder by turning off settings bypass you can set response time to low and keep input latency down and mitigate some of the ghosting being a VA panel it's going to have a little bit more ghosting than similar TN panels anyway but I got used to it quickly and don't even notice it anymore even when switching back and forth between monitors I didn't find any significant impact on ghosting via any of the other settings but let's cover those the menu system can be pretty obnoxious one button changes the monitor between full and limited RGB range typically speaking you want full range for PC use and limited for console use it's actually kind of handy to have this as a quick option since this monitor does have HDMI 2.0 input which can work with game consoles especially the Xbox one X which can output 1440p and sports free sync but I have the base Xbox one so I can't show you that singles here another menu option adds different crosshairs to the screen if you're into that next to that button you have a profile switcher which switches between built-in profiles for general gaming FPS games RTS games text reading movie mode and standard mode fps seems to be the brightest by default with text being the darkest by default I typically leave it on FPS and up at the moment I don't works well enough for me none of the weird added sharpness that my BenQ does an FPS mode which has always annoyed me the last button aside from the power button is the general menu button which you can use to do everything else change inputs change profile brightness and contrast settings turn off DCR which is dynamic contrast ratio the sounds nice but typically just results in your brightness fluctuating constant language isn't good here you can also set the sharpness set response time to low like I mentioned add noise reduction if you want or super resolution which tries to clean up a lower resolution input a bit and here you can also turn on free sync and even set up picture in picture or picture by picture modes there's a lot there I just find the default menu assignments to the buttons to be a tad annoying this was my first at home experience with AMD freesync but unfortunately it was with the rx 580 which couldn't capture the feed very well and OBS I had to switch to x264 and couldn't run most of my games well but despite not even coming close to 120 Hertz LOC speed I never experienced any tearing and it felt quite smooth so I guess it works here overall the vo-tech GN 32 dr grinder is a win for me it has a nice big bright screen super fast response time with low input latency free sync support which may work with Nvidia g-sync soon with their new driver updates coming January 15th and as a rock-solid stay in the doesn't budge I thought that would be a gimmick but it just doesn't move your entire desk will move instead of the stand as an HDMI 2.0 input for game consoles or to make it easier for capture cards despite being a bigger screen it has the smaller 75 by 75 visa amount which will make it more awkward to put on an arm but overall it's a solid screen the curvature is just right for up-close gaming without losing
