It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from our friends at Illegear Malaysia, but that’s changed since we’re writing this piece. They’re recently announced the availability of the APEX 32 Ultra, which means their monitor range is finally stepping into the high-end monitor range, but with a lower price tag than the competition.
I’ve Heard Good Things?
We’re no strangers to Illegear and their monitors. We’ve been early users of the series since 2021, which is their predecessor, the Bolt, followed by the APEX the following year. It’s been an interesting ride, for I know that the APEX 24 and 27 sizes were quite the hit in the local market for their extremely balanced Price : Quality. Now, it’s going to high end, which would be a 32″ giant with topshelf specs.
