Everything was heavy and cool to the touch, and the glass on the display looked incredibly sleek, with a thin bezel.<\/p>\n<p>When you unbox everything, there are three main components you\u2019ll need to locate to assemble the monitor: the display, the stand base, and the adjustable arm to connect the display and the base. It also comes with an HDMI cable and\u00a0a traditional <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/113506\/https:\/\/www.monoprice.com\/product?p_id=5284\">three-prong power cord<\/a> hooked up to a\u00a0brick (100 ~ 240 VAC), which then connects to the monitor via a regular old AC power adapter.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114117 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/e4324c14.jpg\" alt=\"monoprice crystalpro monitor on a wooden desk with a scenic waterfall desktop background\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Sarah Chaney\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The adjustable arm (pictured above) allows the monitor display to tilt from left to right and up and down. You can adjust the monitor\u2019s height by gently pushing it up from the bottom or down from the top.<\/p>\n<p>I used to work in an office that had monitors that could tilt from side to side, and I didn\u2019t realize how much I missed that feature until I got to have it again with Monoprice\u2019s CrystalPro Monitor. If someone is across the room and you want to show them something on your screen, you can simply tilt your monitor until they can see it instead of having to walk all the way over to you. Or, if you\u2019re mainly working off-monitor at a clean portion of your desk to the side, but you need to occasionally check the monitor while you\u2019re working, a quick tilt comes in handy.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the monitor felt sturdy. In the past, I\u2019ve only ever had monitors with two main parts: the display and the stand base that attaches directly to the display. This setup had an extra part (the adjustable arm) to go in between the display and the stand base. I was a bit worried that this might translate into a less sturdy monitor, but it definitely didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Any sort of movement didn\u2019t phase the monitor. I\u2019m a fidgety person and am constantly shaking my leg on the bar underneath my desk, but the monitor <em>barely<\/em> shook whenever I did this. I also have two cats that love to jump up on my desk A LOT. They even got behind the monitor while I was working or gaming, fully turned around behind it, rubbed their faces on it, and nothing. I was never worried about the monitor\u2019s safety, and it always stayed steady.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114118 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/be3c014e.jpg\" alt=\"monoprice monitor base showing where it can swivel and where you can filter cords through\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Sarah Chaney\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The stand base features a built-in cable management hole you can feed your cords through for a cleaner overall setup. For someone who constantly struggles with cable management, I really appreciated this organizational feature.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about ports. There are two sections for ports, one on each side of the base stand. On one side, there are two HDMI 2.0 ports, one 1.2 DisplayPort connection, and one USB-C port with 65W power delivery. On the other side, there\u2019s one Type-B USB port that you can hook up to give power to the two available USB-A ports.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a 3.5mm audio jack for earbuds or headphones, but it also has two built-in speakers if you don\u2019t feel like having something on your ears. They\u2019re not stunning speakers, but they get the job done. There was almost no audible bass and the overall audio came across as pretty tinny. Then, bumping up the volume resulted in distorted audio that wasn\u2019t pleasing to the ears.<\/p>\n<div class=\"moka_gallery_wrap_outer\" data-galleryno=\"0\"><svg

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Monoprice\u2019s CrystalPro monitor uses vertical-alignment (VA) panel technology in its display. In short, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/658701\/tn-vs.-ips-vs.-va-whats-the-best-display-panel-technology\/\">this type of display<\/a>\u00a0makes your blacks deeper, gives you a higher contrast ratio, and overall better image quality than traditional twisted nematic (TN) panels. I\u2019m not one to fully understand the intricate science of display technology, but the picture was impressive (and certainly more impressive than the monitor I typically use).<\/p>\n<p>This monitor is capable of a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution at 60Hz and has a quick &lt;5ms response time. If you\u2019re willing to drop the resolution\u00a0to 1280 x 1024, you can get up to 75Hz, but that\u2019s such a significant drop in image quality in exchange for a mere 15 more frames per second.<\/p>\n<p>Although many people might already be aware, it\u2019s worth mentioning that just because your monitor is capable of 4K at 60Hz, your computer (or rather, graphics card) has to be capable of supporting it as well. Everything has to work in tandem for you to see the brilliance of 4K at 60Hz.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the example I love to give when explaining this in the simplest terms. If you have an old movie on VHS and you watch it on your brand spanking new 4K TV, your movie isn\u2019t going to be in 4K. Just because your new TV supports a 4K resolution, that doesn\u2019t mean absolutely everything you watch will also be capable of such a high resolution, especially older content that isn\u2019t remastered.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I mention all of this is because when I initially set up the monitor, I was only seeing an option for 4K at 30Hz when using an HDMI-to-HDMI connection. It turns out my graphics card doesn\u2019t support such a high resolution via HDMI. Luckily, all I had to do was use the DisplayPort connection instead; from there, I was able to reap the refresh rate benefits of 60Hz.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114122 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fc4c0f40.jpg\" alt=\"closeup of the display and bezel on monoprice's 32 inch crystalpro monitor\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Sarah Chaney\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whether I was looking at the clarity of my scenic desktop background, watching\u00a0<em>Encanto<\/em> on Disney Plus with my friends, or playing video games, everything looked great. While there are monitors out there that can support a much higher refresh rate for more demanding games (like this fantastic Dark Matter Monoprice monitor), 60Hz was plenty for me. I\u2019m used to playing PlayStation games that have only recently started supporting 60Hz, so playing games on this monitor was smooth enough for me.<\/p>\n<p>And just as you can customize the positioning of your monitor, you can tweak the display to your liking, too. Using five buttons on the back of the monitor, you can change the View Mode, adjust contrast and brightness, and switch the input selection. Here are a few key features you can customize:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Black Stabilization:<\/strong>\u00a0This helps details appear more clearly in darker scenes\u00a0by automatically brightening them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Color Adjust\/Range\/Space:<\/strong> You can switch between different color adjustment modes, change the range in RGB and YUV color settings, and toggle between the RGB and YUV monitor color outputs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Game Mode:<\/strong> You can customize settings within this mode, as well as choose between pre-calibrated FPS, RTS, and MOBA gaming settings.<\/li>\n<li><b>Response Time:<\/b> A low response time is best when you\u2019re playing graphically-intense games, creating smooth images without blurring or ghosting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re in need of a new monitor, I\u2019d highly recommend this 32-inch CrystalPro monitor from Monoprice. It handled everything I threw at it with ease and looked gorgeous on my desk, especially with that built-in cable management. I loved how easy it was to adjust the monitor to my preferred height and angle, and it feels like a sturdy, premium piece of tech.<\/p>\n<p>At this price point, it might be a bit more than you\u2019re wanting to spend on a new monitor, but I\u2019ll just remind you that this baby is 32 inches. That\u2019s the size of a small TV, <em>and<\/em> it supports 4K. Everything you do on this monitor will look much more glamorous, whether you\u2019re working in an Excel spreadsheet or playing your favorite game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\nRating: <strong>9\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price: <strong>$399.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Extremely adjustable<\/li>\n<li>Stunning 4K resolution at 60Hz<\/li>\n<li>Wide variety of available ports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>No HDMI 2.1 support<\/li>\n<li>A little pricey (but worth it)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
