Jlink F32FR1K-17B Review
The display is curved
The 『Jlink F32FR1K-17B』 features a VA panel, a curved display, and a matte finish.
Mr. GadgetPersonally, I prefer matte over glossy, so I’m glad it has this!
| Panel Type | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| IPS | ・Wide viewing angles ・Beautiful colors | ・Slow response time |
| VA | ・High contrast ・Beautiful colors ・Reasonably wide viewing angles | ・Slower response time compared to TN |
| TN | ・Fast response time ・Inexpensive | ・Narrow viewing angles ・Low contrast |
Because it uses a VA panel, it boasts a high contrast ratio of 4000:1, allowing it to render deep blacks.
Additionally, the curvature reduces eye movement distance, enhancing immersion when gaming.
However, curved displays tend to cause motion sickness in many people, so they require some getting used to.
Mr. GadgetIf you are prone to motion sickness from screens, please exercise caution.
That said, the 『Jlink F32FR1K-17B』 has a 16:9 aspect ratio and isn’t excessively ultrawide, so I didn’t experience any motion sickness.
Supports up to 240Hz!
As I mentioned in the specs section, the “Jlink F32FR1K-17B” supports up to 240Hz.
Basically, as long as it supports 144Hz, you can play comfortably, so you can use it with peace of mind in terms of refresh rate.
In the image above, I set it to 120Hz and checked to see if it was recognized correctly.
I also ran a quick test using https://www.testufo.com/ghosting, and it was recognized as 120Hz.
HDR Support
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technology that expands the range of brightness. Simply put, supporting HDR makes images look more realistic.
The “Jlink F32FR1K-17B” supports HDR.
Response Time: 1.0ms (MPRT)
Response time refers to the speed at which colors transition, which greatly affects motion blur in video.
It is especially important in games where reaction speed is required, such as FPS and fighting games.
The “Jlink F32FR1K-17B” features a quite ideal response time of 1.0ms.
Panel colors have a slightly reddish tint
First, I checked for dead pixels, but found none.
As I will mention later, if the product you receive happens to have any dead pixels, try making use of the warranty.
The colors looked fine at first glance, but when comparing the PC and the monitor side by side, a slight redness stood out on the monitor side.
Part of this is because the PC side tends to lean relatively blue to begin with, making the monitor side appear even redder by contrast, but even when compared with other devices, a slight reddish tint was undeniable.
Mr. GadgetWell, it’s not something that bothers me that much, though (laughs).
I don’t think it poses any problem at all when playing games.
Easy and straightforward installation!
Detailed instructions on how to install it were included in the user manual.
Mr. GadgetWhen I previously reviewed a Jlink monitor, the instructions weren’t this detailed, so this has definitely been improved!
Mr. GadgetIt was very easy!
Please refer to the instruction manual for detailed procedures.
Connection ports are reasonably well-equipped
As mentioned in the specs overview, the interface details are as follows.
- HDMI 2.0 × 1
- HDMI 1.4 × 1
- DisplayPort 1.2 × 1
- 3.5mm Aux × 1
- USB × 1
- DC (Power) × 1
Ms. GadgetPretty much everything you need is included.
Vertical angle can be adjusted, but nothing else
- Tilt: -5 to 15°
You can change the monitor angle as shown in the photos below.
However, please note that you cannot swivel it horizontally or adjust the monitor’s height.
Mr. GadgetPersonally, swivel aside, I really wish they had made the height adjustable…
AC adapter features the PSE mark
The AC adapter properly features the PSE mark.
Mr. GadgetOf course, having it is a given, but products from Chinese manufacturers frequently come without the PSE mark.
This manufacturer properly included one with the PSE mark, which gave me peace of mind.
Regarding Various Features
What looks at first glance like built-in speakers turned out to be exhaust vents.
As mentioned in the specifications, it does not have built-in speakers, so an external speaker is required.
Regarding Settings
Monitor settings and power turning on/off are controlled using this function button located on the back of the monitor.
Pressing this function button once brings up the monitor settings menu.
Additionally, as indicated in the image below, pressing it to the left is assigned to BACK, and pressing it to the right is assigned to ENTER.
Additionally, pressing the function button up accesses input source settings, pressing it down adjusts volume, pressing it left opens game assist settings, and pressing it right opens preset settings.
Includes a 36-Month Warranty
As detailed in the user manual, it comes with a 36-month warranty.
Mr. Gadget36 months is quite long, isn’t it?
Even those who might be hesitant about buying from a Chinese manufacturer should be able to purchase with peace of mind.
Conclusion
Heavily Specialized for FPS and TPS Games
After using it myself, I felt that true to its name as a gaming monitor, the Jlink F32FR1K-17B is extremely well-suited for FPS and TPS games.
The refresh rate is ultra-high at a maximum of 240Hz, and the response time is ideal at 1.0ms.
Some might think that since the resolution is Full HD, it falls short compared to 4K or WQHD, but very few PCs and hardware setups can actually output that kind of resolution in FPS games to begin with.
It is not uncommon for professional FPS gamers to intentionally lower their resolution to prioritize response time and refresh rate.
Given that, I think this curved gaming monitor possesses the specs required for playing FPS and TPS games while also being affordable.
In short, the cost performance is fantastic.
It also comes with a 36-month warranty, so you can purchase it with peace of mind.
