How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Max refresh

Maximum manufacturer-listed refresh rate, not measured motion clarity. The port-specific limits below matter; HDMI and DisplayPort can support different modes.

MSI G32CQ4 E2165 Hz

Manufacturer specification · Manual p. 25 lists 170 Hz maximum and 165 Hz default. Native QHD over HDMI is limited to 144 Hz; DP OverClocking must be enabled for 170 Hz.

ASUS ROG Strix XG32VC170 Hz

Manufacturer specification · Manufacturer-listed maximum; input-specific signal-frequency restrictions, overclocking and source/cable requirements remain as shown in the specifications. Digital Signal Frequency : DisplayPort: 30~250KHz (H) / 48~170 Hz(V) HDMI: 30~225KHz (H) / 48~165Hz (V)

Explore the full specifications

Match the monitor to the connection. Refresh limits depend on the input, cable and source device. Confirm the exact regional ports, stand adjustment and mount. Manufacturer response-time methods such as MPRT and GtG are different; neither the image nor these figures establish an independent motion or colour-quality test.
