Jlink 32-inch Full HD VA Monitor Review

What kind of monitor do you usually use?

The “Jlink B32FP1K” I am reviewing this time is a versatile monitor that offers great value for money and has few drawbacks, in my opinion.
The resolution is Full HD, which is fairly standard, and it features a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz with a response time of 4.2ms, making it a spec that won’t leave you wanting for most tasks, including gaming.
There are some minor shortcomings, such as the inability to adjust the height, but even taking those into account, this is a remarkably capable all-around monitor that I highly recommend!

Jlink B32FP1K Review

Deep blacks thanks to the VA panel

First, I checked for dead pixels, but found none.
As I will touch upon later, if the product you receive has any dead pixels, please try to utilize the warranty.

Also, at a glance, there was nothing unnatural about the color tone.

Panel Type	Pros	Cons
IPS	・Wide viewing angle ・Beautiful colors	・Slower response time
VA	・High contrast ・Beautiful colors ・Fairly wide viewing angle	・Response time is slower compared to TN
TN	・Fast response time ・Cheap	・Narrow viewing angle ・Low contrast

There are three main types of panels: “IPS,” “VA,” and “TN.”

VA panels have high contrast, deep blacks, and allow you to enjoy immersive imagery.

Easy and intuitive installation!

Regarding the installation, it was described in detail in the instruction manual.

Minimal connection ports

As I mentioned when introducing the specs, the details of the interfaces are as follows.

Vertical angle can be adjusted but nothing else

You can change the angle of the monitor as shown in the photos below.

However, please be aware that you cannot adjust the horizontal direction or the height of the monitor.

AC adapter has the PSE mark

The AC adapter correctly features the PSE mark.

36-month warranty included

As written in detail in the instruction manual, it comes with a 36-month warranty.

HDR compatible

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technology that expands the range of brightness. Simply put, when HDR is supported, the image becomes more realistic.

The “Jlink B32FP1K” is HDR compatible.

Supports up to 60Hz

As I mentioned in the specs section, the “Jlink B32FP1K” supports up to 60Hz.

Movies, Anime	approx. 24Hz
TV	approx. 30Hz
Nintendo Switch, PS4	approx. 60Hz
PS5, Xbox Series X	approx. 120Hz

For standard use, you won’t feel any inconvenience at 60Hz.

Response time  4.2ms(GTG)

Response time refers to the speed at which colors change and has a major impact on the motion blur of the image.
It is particularly important for games that require reaction speed, such as FPS and fighting games.

The “Jlink F32FR1K-17B” has a response time of 4.2ms, which is a speed that allows for comfortable gaming to a certain extent.

However, I think it’s perfectly fine for people who play occasionally, but if you are serious about playing FPS or TPS games, honestly, this figure is underwhelming.
For playing RPGs or simulation games, response time is almost irrelevant, so you don’t need to worry about it.

About settings

Monitor settings and powering on/off are performed using this function button on the back of the monitor.

Pressing this function button once turns the monitor on.
Pressing the button down brings up the settings menu.
Also, as shown in the labels in the image below, pushing left was assigned to BACK, and pushing right was assigned to ENTER.

About various functions

As written in the specs, it does not have built-in speakers, so an external speaker is required.
