Review: Excellent Gaming Monitor, Beautiful Colors, Great Price - After a week of searching and contemplation, I settled on the Gigabyte M27Q as my next gaming monitor, and I have not been disappointed in the slightest so far. Out of the box, the colors look great, but they can be made even better with a bit of tuning. I love the configuration Hardware Unboxed provides in their review video. I switched to this monitor from a 1080p VA panel, which I hated due to copious amounts of unbearable ghosting and low pixel density. I switched to this monitor, and I cannot find any smearing, ghosting, or flickering at any of the modes I've tried, and I have done a lot of tinkering. As expected, G-Sync works great, without any sort of tearing or flickering. While you should NOT buy this monitor for HDR, the HDR gaming experience was a pleasant surprise. The monitor auto-switched to HDR mode when I first opened Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and I decided to leave it on to test it out. The claims of colors becoming washed out aren't exaggerated, and the lack of any local dimming hurts a lot, but the high peak-brightness of this monitor is quite good, so I did not find the experience to be "bad" by any stretch of the imagination. One of the things that I was worried about when I bought this monitor was IPS Glow/Backlight Bleed, and upon first turning on the monitor, I noticed a hint of it in the top right corner, but unless I'm staring directly at it and the screen is displaying complete black, I don't notice it at all, and I consider myself to be quite finicky with this sort of thing. Another feature of this monitor that I don't see mentioned by anybody is the 10-bit color support. While you do have to turn the refresh rate down to 120hz to get it, and it's NOT true 10-bit, (it's 8-bit+FRC,) I find the experience to be completely worth it, as I do little extremely competitive gaming, and my RTX 2070 really can't hit above 100 fps in games at high settings 1440p anyways. It's also worth mentioning that NO gaming monitors in this price bracket have TRUE 10-bit color, so it's not much of a downside that it is 8-bit+FRC. Another thing you'll hear people mention about this monitor as a negative is the "BGR" subpixel layout compared to the traditional "RGB" layout. After setting up ClearType in windows, I can see absolutely no difference between text on this monitor and text on any other display I use daily. In fact, to my eye, which again, I consider to be astute, text is actually sharper than I expected. Overall, I think that this monitor is unbeatable at the price, and I'd recommend it to just about anybody.
Review: Didn't get a lemon! - I'm happy! I didn't get a lemon! My own regret is that I have buyer's remorse because everything about 1080 was actually just so optimized, and the picture quality really isn't that much of a difference for me. That's my fault though, not the manufacturer or item's fault. Maybe this might help someone else XD, IN GENERAL, not to dissuade purchase of this product though. I'll list them as POTENTIAL CONs, not actual CONs because these cons are more of my own personal preference rather than product deficits. By all means, this monitor is awesome! The M27Q was purchased @ $330 at the time. I have ***-ed the biggest potential deal breakers in the cons. Pros: +KVM switch +IPS +High refresh +GSync (not confirmed but for some people it has been compatible, me included) +FreeSync compatible. +Reportedly great colors after calibration using Hardware Unboxed's recommendations, but I'll be honest, after utilizing the calibrations, I wasn't ecstatic. I found out that I personally prefer brighter, more vibrant colors than what is considered better color representation. +Personally, my monitor's IPS glow/backlight bleed was great. A bit on the lower left, but not nearly as bad as some of the images I saw on NewEgg. +desertcart service :) I personally accepted a $20.00(compared to NewEgg) difference in deals because of how magnificent desertcart's customer service has been to me in the past despite the failures of a few of their sellers. This particular monitor seems to have a high probability of QA issues, and last thing I want to deal with is NewEgg's service...go read the reviews and stories. +The increased resolution and screen estate is nice for me when viewing multiple stocks/crypto on one screen. Cons: -The biggest con IMO is the quality control issues with this monitor. I lucked out with a gem, but who knows how well this monitor will be performing in a few weeks, months, years? That can be stated of any product, but for this specific monitor, a LARGE percentage of its reviews across NewEgg, desertcart, and BestBuy have issues. This could be due to low sample size, but MUST be considered when purchasing. It is for this reason I prioritized customer service when factoring costs for buying this monitor.*** -IPS backlight bleed, but again, this is something to be expected of IPS monitors in this budget range. In my specific case, I'd consider my backlight bleed level to be a Pro rather than a Con.*** -Monitor is actually BGR, not RGB. Do some research on this if you don't know what this means. Might matter to you, didn't for me.*** -The stand is meh, it's good and stable but doesn't allow rotation to portrait. Doesn't bother me personally because I bought an after market arm, but worth considering. The base of the stand does have a large footprint though. -Lesser compatibility when it comes to gaming and productivity (this one varies). Please read lower for more details related to my specific case scenario. Even tho more games/tech are making 1440p possible, you just can't deny that it's still newer and will require more optimization/availability/accessibility. Esp. with the current scalping issues on the GPUs >=(. Other: My main game is League of Legends. For whatever reason, Riot Games has not implemented a 1440 resolution yet :(. Switching it to fullscreen utilizing the M27Q as a main display is UNPLAYABLE, and bugs out my desktop. Playing it on 1920x1080 on borderless gives me a smaller window than you'd see on a 1920x1080 monitor. For me, 1920x1080 was the PERFECT size/resolution/detail for me to enjoy and play the game while fully appreciating all the details. I can't really do that on the M27Q because I'd either have to switch the M27Q to it's non-native resolution (which can cause compatibility issues) or play with a smaller than desired screen of the game. Granted I COULD get used to it if I played on the M27Q enough, but it's a bit disappointing. Again, if LOL is not your main game, this shouldn't be that much of an issue. Also, while the screen is bigger, the icons are smaller. Nice for larger work space, but worst for smaller icons. You can work around this by changing the sizes of your icons on that display, but it can cause compatibility issues with other devices. It takes away from some of the uniformity if you are going to have some 1920x1080 monitors and the M27Q in a multi-monitor setup. While I haven't run into these issues yet, I have numerous devices that have reported issues with differing resolutions in multi-monitor setups, for example, Huion drawing tablets. While not actual problems, it leaves room for potential frustration/further troubleshooting considerations later on down the road.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!
*by M***A on June 2, 2025*

This monitor is great. It has awesome color accuracy right out of the box. So casual users won't really need to make any changes in that department. If you're like me, then getting a professional to tweak the color will help. But it's not necessary. Options are great. Picture quality is awesome. It's perfect for gaming and you can't beat the price. The stand is adjustable, however, I mounted mine on an arm. The size is perfect for my desk. Especially if you want to run dual monitors. This is an awesome entry-intermidiate level monitor.
