When looking at the GM32-FQ's OSD, I'd say this is the first clear indicator of Cooler Master's inexperience in the monitor market. The UI both looks and feels clunky and outdated, while I'd also argue the settings aren't really laid out in the most sensible way.

For instance, everything is split into six main tabs, which are as follows:

But the curious thing is there is no ‘Game' or ‘Game Control' settings window. Instead, you have to access the Picture Mode tab to adjust overdrive settings, while adaptive sync is housed within the Setup Menu tab. Add in the fact that the OSD controls themselves are very fiddly, while there's no Windows-based OSD control app either, and this is definitely an area for Cooler Master to work on.
