CONCLUSION

   Even though during the entire 2 weeks I spend with the ODRAZ 32” 4K Flat Gaming Monitor by Yeyian i didn’t come up with any issues (picture quality is very good and both the adaptive sync and flicker free features work as intended) it’s clear from the uniformity tests that things could be better in that regard. Again, this isn’t something you’ll notice while gaming but it’s something that did deduct a few points from the end result (rating) of this monitor so i do feel i need to address it. Of course, being one of the very first products by Yeyian i think that they’ll do even better with future models (and there’s always the chance that this is an isolated issue with my sample). As mentioned earlier if you’re used to playing games at well above 120Hz (FPS) then a 60Hz LCD monitor will probably not be for you. If, however you’re not used to such a thing and you put size and resolution above all else then 4k at 32 inches is a very good combination. Now i have to admit that i was slightly disappointed with the stand Yeyian has bundled with the ODRAZE 32” (overall quality of the plastics used could also be better) but you can easily resolve this by using a wall mount instead (they are quite affordable after all). It also happens that i used the built-in stereo speakers of the ODRAZ 32” for a couple of hours and even though i wouldn’t use them for gaming they did quite well for basic things like music playback and YouTube. The rear RGB LEDs are a good touch but not bright enough to make a real difference (and i doubt many people will have their monitor facing at another person instead of their wall).

   Price is what usually makes or breaks products by newcomers like Yeyian and so i was glad to see that the ODRAZ 32” 4k Flat Gaming Monitor currently retails for USD299 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 370Euros inside the EU. Yes, things may not be as good on this side of the Atlantic (what’s new?) but if you live on the other side things couldn’t get much better than this (and from what i see Yeyian runs offers quite often so you may be able to get it for even less). At the end of the day the ODRAZ 32” by Yeyian may not be the perfect 4K LCD monitor but it does offer a good enough price/performance ratio for the Golden Award.
