NZXT Canvas 32Q Curved

A fine, but not fantastic, 165Hz gaming panel

-  JEREMY LAIRD

NZXT IS A BRAND we know and admire, though not necessarily for its gaming monitors. Better known for cases or even fully-built PCs, NZXT’s latest foray into high-performance panels is the Canvas 32Q Curved. With this latest 32inch, 1440p model, it’s clear the brand is getting pretty serious about displays.

Much effort has gone into the design and engineering. The Canvas 32Q Curved has a nicer chassis design and build quality than your average PC monitor and although it is mostly plastic, it looks and feels expensive. The stand adjusts for height, tilt, and swivel but doesn’t rotate into portrait mode, which would be problematic for a curved display. That stand is an optional extra, priced at 429 with and 379 without, the extra 50 investment for a stand seems reasonable.
