The GP27Q is a monitor I've been watching for a while. It has the potential to become a "go to" monitor due to the quantum dot tech on a flat screen and refresh range at a reasonable price. However the issues around the firmware is frustrating. I doubt I am alone with feeling sick and tired of companies taking the mick out of consumers. It's bad enough with likes of giants such as nVidia and MS without having to put up with smaller companies behaving so poorly. "C'mon Cooler Master. You know better, so do better. Become a champion for the consumer".
I do get their rush with hurrying this firmware out the door so far. The competition is fierce and gamers demanded HDR + VRR. 😊 In my opinion, so long as I can see that the company CARES about it's customers and their products, keeps updating the firmware, then I am all good. (but they need to communicate with their customer serviced team... they have no idea this update is even out yet!) So in other words, if Cooler Master COMMUNICATES what it plans to do and what it is working on, until it is finished, then I will be more reassured in buying this monitor. I can wait a month or two for some minor fixes.
@@millanferende6723 The GP27Q is a hidden gem that not many gamers know about which I am glad because it means I was able to buy one without being sold out. The latest Firmware v1.3.1 seems to have fixed the majority of issues of this monitor when it was first released.
I'm not convinced this monitor has even been released in Europe. It's not listed on most sites, and never been in stock on the two I've seen it on, making me wonder if it ever was or is just a placeholder listing.

@@WilliamChoochootrain normally I would agree with you, but the panel is manufactured by AUO anyways, and it's their newest and best panel yet. InnoCN Is just the first reseller using this panel.
Appreciate the update on this. I'm still interested in the GP27u, but thats mainly due to companies still not releasing products they announced at last CES. Guess there is no point in waiting for the release of products from the upcoming CES either.
Others have noted that the GP27Q firmware is up to version 1.2.1. It would really be nice to find out if the worst problems are fixed. I don't know of other mini-LED QD 1440P 27" monitors. If its firmware was good, I'd probably own one by now. Any chance, Tim?
@@k12rising i'm thinking about this monitor as well, but I'm afraid of the blooming, ips glow and backlight bleed. With a OLED I'm atleast certain those 3 issues won't exist
Blooming is a non issue when gaming. Only one game I could noticeably see it was MS FS 2020 at night. Even then going down to local dimming low or medium basically solves it. No back-light bleed either.
Seems like they uploaded new firmware versions. For GP27U, it is currently version 1.3.1. For GP27Q, it is currently version 1.2.1. BTW, seems like the company making those monitors is in fact KTC. They have released nearly identical monitors.
@@Animatron11 Same, still waiting for it. Sold out everywhere or never sold in first place. Cooler Master NL twitter said it would be in stock in February, but they probably can't make it. Some webshops are bold enough to state end of February is when they expecting stock again, but I'm not confident in that.
I'm loving my GP27Q though, it's a far better monitor from my Asus PG278QR, sure it's not perfect but for £500 and for what it offers it's amazing. HDR peak brightness is blinding, at the FPS2 mode its really blinding, I haven't noticed any flickering issues so far, and to be fair I haven't really tested HDR, apart from one video on youtube. Overall I'm well satisfied Mini Led IPS, also noticed a significant improvement on input lag, my accuracy on the likes of Call of Duty is far better now, I'm less likely to see the kill cam when I die and find out a completely different thing than I saw on my screen. I just would like to get an ICC profile to better calibrate the colours as I don't have the equipment or the patience to do it or even the knowhow. Thank you for your input Tim, really appreciate the work you guys do.
when the technology of OLEDs are a bit better, and there are more options available as monitors in a more traditional format and size 27" - 32" flat panels, and gfx cards push even further FPS I'll just upgrade into a 4K OLED panel instead, until then I'll stick to this one
@@darkness_120 enjoying my OLED AW3423DW tremendously, so a good choice from my POV. Even if only to avoid the destruction of colors and smoothness by an overzealous anti matt layer.
Exactly I'm just building my pc probably going to have to spend 2500$ on the pc, table and accessories I'd like a dual monitor setup and simply can't afford more than 500$ each people will compare a 500$ monitor to 800$ ones and it's really unhelpful
Appreciate the video. I’m all in on the gp27q now that they’ve fixed the vrr/hdr issue. Flickering in a stress test is a non issue for me (and I suspect most people) and the other issues mentioned are minor (imho) and are sure to be patched in an update. Shame they are sold out for now
flickering is not just in stress test, just only noticeable in stress tests, a complete deal breaker as anything less than flicker-free for long term usage will tire your eyes and increase vision loss.
@@Jack-he8jv never had a problem with ‘tired eyes’ and give me a break with the vision loss claim. If it’s not noticable then it’s as good as being not there to me
Bought the 27Q for myself for Christmas. While not on the newest firmware it was capable of HDR and Adaptive out of the box think it was ahead of the software in this video. Haven't noticed Flickering but I'm not a pro. Things unreal imo!
@@amirmohammad527 I am really satisfied, I have noticed the flickering now. That's mostly because I keep windows in HDR permanently, which means I have the backlights on causing the flicker. I'm lazy and like the not overly saturated colour vibe. The colours and HDR content are gorgeous but my only influence of OLED is my phone. Along with that the contrast and blacks are amazing too. If you have no context next to it to compare, the blacks are black black. I don't notice bleeding unless I'm past 140ish + degrees. I wear glasses and lights always twinkle and look funky so your mileage may vary on that. It's good yeah alright 😎
I got the GP27U. I’ve had my frustrations with this, and I think most of them will be ironed out with updates. I don’t use this for PC use, as I only game on my Series X. I will say the panel looks incredible, and the blacks are nearly/on par as good as my Lg OLED.
I really hope the USB hub sleep problem will be fixed, and the black screen on wake. The USB KVM hub powering down is one of the most annoying issues, especially since it means I have to unplug my mouse to wake my desktop…
Hey Tim, it looks like that your sample (GP27U) works better than my one. After the latest FW Update the gamut was clamped correctly in sRGB or P3 mode but the WP is all over the place. Meaning the calibration is gone! The GP27Q has the same issue: all color space presets are broken. So after I checked this I stopped testing because with the broken factory calibration one of the key selling factors are gone. However, thanks for your revised to these monitors!
Thanks for this been waiting for this to land, your vids are great. I’m torn between the CM27U and Neo G7… both are in my price range and I have seen the Neo G7 below £1k GBP but torn as to what to get as the CM is still an attractive price V features now with firmware update… any thoughts? A comparison video of both would be good 👀😂👌🏻
Been waiting for this! Thanks. The GP27U is the one I've been looking at for months as a work/gaming monitor due to the color accuracy and high refresh. Happy to see input lag has decreased a lot in SDR mode which will be great for competitive games (not concerned with gaming in HDR, it's cool to try but not a major thing to me). Cooler Master should fix those issues with the GP27Q soon as well for people who have or are looking to get that monitor. Good on them for at least being honest on issues they had and delivering on their promise for a November firmware update.
Yep, still the best all rounder HDR monitor out there. It's just that I don't want to be a test subject for firmware issues, I'd like to know how things are nowadays...
@@JoeMaranophotography fair enough hahaha... I had to send back a Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 34... No warranty for burn ins, and no freedom to configure long nor short pixel refresh/compensation cycles. Had to taste it to realize it was a scam.
I want to add to the review of this monitor. I tried to setup triple 4k setup, however, only 2 monitors at a time were able to be connected while the 3rd monitor remained off. I checked around forums and found out the display port DSC function did not work properly. So, the monitor can only be used for single display or dual display mode. It is a very pretty monitor, but, the blooming artifacts really hurt my eyes. I tried to adjust settings, but, this was hard to do. I would suggest waiting for another year to see what happens in the OLED market, wait until prices come down , or wait to see if these mini-LED panels improve in their ability to be connected in a myriad of configurations. I did get the gigabyte m28u instead and although it has a softer showing in picture quality, it s 85-90% of the quality of the gp27u at nearly half the price. For this channel, a tutorial on how to tell if monitors can be made in triple monitor setups would be great. More importantly n how to spot these issues ahead of time before buying so we can also save our time, too. Overall, thisis the best channel for monitor reviews.
Just returned my GP27U. Not enough dimming zones and blooming was very trippy and noticeable on my unit. I have just ordered the REDMAGIC 4K Gaming Monitor, which appears to be specced identically except it has 1,152 dimming zones (twice as many as the Coolermaster) but I don't think it has quantum dot. Hope to see a review of that one soon.
Hey Tim. I'm really interested what local dimming in SDR looks like with these mini-led FALD displays. It would be awesome, if you could implement this sort of testing in your upcoming monitor reviews/comparisons. Thanks :)
In this case, it's not great. The gamma goes pretty far out of whack, making mid-tones lose a lot of detail. In my experience, FALD on with contrast taken way down looks OK-ish, but not quite right. SDR content in Windows' HDR mode looks closer to right. Cooler Master does say they're working on improving that in future firmware updates, though.
Thank you Tim for providing an update and speaking on the flicker situation. Flicker is a major concern for me. I wonder if there’s any chance CM can decrease or remove the flicker with firmware on this hardware.
I'm not sure where Hardware Unboxed got their results from, or how they measured HDR and SDR input lag. The monitor's total input lag in both SDR and HDR with Local Dimming is around 2.5 to 3ms, with a grand total input delay of up to 8.8ms at 60Hz.
This is a great video. I am in the market for a new monitor to replace my current Viotek GNV34DBE. It's currently between the GP27Q as a cheap option or the AW3423DWF. If CM finally ever fixes all the issues with these monitors they will be great.
I'll tell you one piece of advice, the alienware oled is good but burn in is going to happen, I'm on my 3rd one since release , dell has to keep replacing it. Although other than that it's a pretty good monitor for hdr and even sdr content. The main culprit for burn in on these is youtube and content with black borders.
@@mattg768 Are you using HDR 1000 mode? I got the DWF finally and have only been using HDR true black. That's plenty bright enough for my location and using Win11 SDR content slider turned down to 25%.
Honestly its endless researching at this point. Like you said whenever a monitor comes into closer consideration there is a major drawback around the corner....
This is how things are done everywhere now. Products released half baked and best case scenario get fixed along the way. In less ideal scenario they never get fixed.
Tim, I beg you! Become the champion of pc budget gaming by being the person who consistently informs the masses about CUSTOM RESOLUTION! The world of pc gaming at large is ignorant to the fact that they can set up an array of resolutions between 1440p and 4k for example, so they can have the fps as well as the graphics quality settings they want! 1530p 1620p 1710p 1800p 1890p 1980p 2070p...! these resolutions installed in our gpu's resolution options allow for the best gaming experience possible without the unnecessary and often abysmal side effects of upscalers like fsr and dlss. It's an absolute game changer having these and we're talking maybe only 4% of the gaming world knows about it. Because out of the 25 or so people I've brought it up to, 0 have been aware of it! And with '8k' kicking around the gaming world but not taking off CLEARLY there is a serious problem with people having this as a go to, all these 8K videos, choppy as can be , I can't what them as their performance drops into the 40's, all they have to do is do a custom resolution of 3600p and there video will look almost every bit of 8k but flow at 60fps easily. playing FH5 I get 95-105fps with max settings at 4k with my 3080, all i do is drop it to 2016p and I get my 115 desired 'frame-buster' GSYNC fps setting on my 4k 120 tv... flawless, beautiful, the scaler in that game creates nasty artifacts on the road and the DLSS option is a HUGE step back! I just don't understand why I'm the only person I've ever known to see and express this... not sure where I'm suppose to send you a question for videos where you answer comments but I'd love it if you could plug this in. Okay thanks Tim you are the monitor man! I got a MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD for my mother who has eye issues on sale back when it dropped because of you and it's been a real pleasure for her, she's on it about 16hrs a day lol!
Not sure whether it's the right channel or post. I was so pleased with my Cooler Master GP27U. It just broke, half of the mini LEDs stopped working all of a sudden (the left half). Pretty painful. Anybody else experienced this? I'll have to return it to have it repaired? Guarantee?
I love and hate my GP27U - love the colour, the contrast , the brightness but HATE the fact I can't select between inputs without getting a black screen (no OSD). Even when it does work the OSD occasionally refused to operate and the only solution is turn the monitor off/on. Probably going to return it as even with 1.2.1 firmware it's just toio flaky for daily use.
You don't have to reboot the monitor, press CTRL SHIFT WINDOWS B it will reset the drivers. (sometimes you need to do this twice) Way more easy then turning it off and on again. This works 9 out of 10 times, the 10 time only solution is indeed off/on. ALT WINDOWS B is HDR on/off
I thought that maybe this display wasn't available because it was always sold out. Starting to think it's not available because they are trying to fix all the bugs, and are limiting supply.
If you want to see flickering, test AOC FALD Displays. TFT Central also tests PWM Flickering. Nearly all FALD Display have it more or less. Samsung is ok but Coolermaster and AOC alot. Didnt looked up what the 3000 Bucks Viewsonic is doing in the Flickering Department.
I wonder if these issues you describe Tim are resolved in the GP27Q as the firmware-version is at 1.4.1 as of now. It's on sale at quite an attractive price and if the issues are resolved it's hard to pass on...
I'm looking forward to this, as I'm fed up with having to tiptoe around the fragile little flower that is a desktop OLED. By now, it seems like most of the firmware issues have been addressed.
Not really, the firmware is still so so broken it is not even fun no more. I can't install the latest firmware on my Q model the 1.4.1. If i use that firmware i end up on a death loop when i turn on my screen, only thing i see is a never ending CoolerMaster logo and nothing more. The monitor is getting no signal from the DP or HDMI, only solution is to unplug all cables and turn off the monitor, then plug it back in and turn it back on. The moment i restart my pc it is game over, you can start over. If the monitor turns to sleep it is over. I'm using 1.2.1 again, most stable for me. And guess what? No support from Coolermaster just dead silence nothing more from them.
I've got the Q model too now and it comes with 1.21 out of the box. Was one step away from installing the latest, then read a few reddit posts claiming that some of the settings get locked in hdr mode after the update (1.41). Kept the factory firmware and going by what you're saying - not even considering trying to update. Seems like CM software for these is a total crapshoot. Quite satisfied with the screen otherwise though.
@@edwards409 Agreed, the monitor is amazing but i got a love/hate relation with the Q cause of the firmware. The black screens is what's bugging me in HDR gaming. CTRL SHIFT WINDOWS B is my best friend on this monitor. And when that fails only option is to turn off/on the monitor to get the picture back up. Lots of people complaining about this on Reddit. I did provided CM lots of information with pictures and what is going on with the latest update. It is a shame how CM is giving us the silent treatment. I bet you they are ignoring us until there is no more support on this monitor.
hopefully their monitors get the same love as their mice.. the first MM731 during the initial release was so crap that they had give a massive discount to clear stock even after they had fixed the issues cause no one was buying them. next they released the MM712 which was much bettter but the damage to their reputation had been done.
Congrats to CM for the incediple price/perf for this monitors and for the ongoing support. The others monitors company at the same price have garbage edge-lit product. Second be more accurate in the reviews because you recomend the odyssey g7 who has flickering and the worst quality. Third a tftcentral review who are the best specialist is up for everyone for this monitors and has a little solution for the sdr local diming.
My Odyssey G7 flickered like crazy in lots of games with Freesync enabled. I'll never use a monitor like that again, so this would be a deal-breaker for me. I returned that G7 and put the money towards an LG C2 42, which was on sale for $800.
It seems embarrassing to me to have to fix a product post launch. When you buy a monitor you expected to work out the box without having to do extra calibration or firmware updates.
hey Tim, do you plan on reviewing more 200-400$ VA panels? it seems you prefer mostly IPS models in this price range, but I actually prefer the look of the VA image in this price range. thank you for considering!
Please review the AOC 25G3ZM/BK, it is a VA 24.5" monitor. YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE FOR A GOOD REVIEW! AOC claims fast response times with this one and I wonder if it uses latest gen VA panels with decent response times.
Good to know they've pushed out an update, disappointing to know the Q model got downgraded. The U sounds like an overall win for the firmware update. Are there any other decent Mini LED monitors in this price range? The other top monitors are Ultrawide or curved screen which feels like a gimmick imo. The LG OLED monitor could be a contender but I'd still prefer non-oled because I use VR heavily with static content for many hours at once.
I was getting color banding/blocking after the firmware update when using both local dimming and adaptive sync at 165hz. Setting the refresh rate at 144 fixes this but it's still a bummer.
The bigger problem is... the lack of alternatives. Are there any other not OLED, flat, 1440p/4K, 27", 144Hz+, and true HDR with so many (or more) dimming zones monitors which will not require selling a kidney?
the short answer to that is no... all other monitors are far more expensive than this one, and as I said on my comment, for me it's perfect, I'm loving it for the price and what it offers it's awesome... I very much doubt I'll play any games with HDR on, its more for content consumption, and it's a true HDR monitor not like the fake HDR10/400 or even HDR600 that many monitors on the market has. It's quite blinding the level of brightness this monitor gets. And like I said for the price (£500 here in the UK) there's no other monitor out there that offers this level of performance at this price range... all the other mini led, HDR1000+, 165HZ or more costs well over £1000 and or are not available at least not in the UK... because at that price range for a mini led I was tempted to go for that Alienware OLED one, eventhough I do not like ultra wide and curved monitors and that monitor also have some flaws... So until OLEDs gets better and are more available in the more traditional formats I'll stick to this one
@@darkness_120 That's the whole issue here. This monitor is not perfect but there are no alternatives. That's why I will go most probably for this one or I will resign from HDR and then Gibabyte M27Q-P will be my option. I just don't want an ultrawide, or curve monitor, and 27" is more than enough for me.
@@MARTIN-jc1qw fuck that, don't even mention that shit show of a company to me man... worse company I ever dealt with... Ordered their spectrum 1440p 240Hz (now 280) back in May 2020... In Feb this yr they asked for the rest of the money to fulfill the order as they were getting ready to ship, only to delay it once again in April, so I cancelled my order and requested a refund, and until today I'm still waiting, I was emailing them up to October, and now they just ignore me, so last week I took some legal action and filled a formal complaint against them, let's see if they answer to that. But I'm not hopeful I just lost the same amount of money as I paid for the GP27Q.... So fuck that company, extremely do not recommend them to anybody
Why wouldn't they just drop the refresh rate to 144hz with VRR and HDR enabled to eliminate the flickering issue. I mean you'd still have to have the firmware on point but it should give you that bandwidth headroom to make it far less likely.
Does local dimming work in SDR now? This monitors ticks all the boxes for me and my budget. It's just the local dimming in SDR and flickering (Although Rtings say there is not noticeable flickering). Could somebody advise? Thanks
Newest update fixed the blown out sdr image when local dimming is on. They added a new low flicker mode in the local dimming options too. I've been using local dimming on high and havent noticed any flickering when hdr and adaptive sync are both on. I use a 3090 so most of my framerates are pretty high 90+ in multiplayer games. I get around 50 - 60fps in hogwarts legacy and havent noticed any flickering at lower framerates. I think the KVM issues are still there but I dont use that feature.
what did it address? edit: Wow, it seems like they only updated the GP27U last month and have yet to address any of the newly introduced bugs for the GP27U. That's unfortunate.
Could you somehow benchmark the display stream compression image quality? I cant find relevant tests amywhere. I know vesa claims its visually unnoticeable, but I'd like to see if for example 4k 240 over DP1.4 causes any artifacts
Does it flicker when moving/switching windows (alt tabbing) in windows? The LG C1 does this when windows are mostly white - not the standard dimming when the full screen is white, but quick flickers a couple of times in one second briefly.
There has been further firmware updates with the latest being released yesterday 9/23/23. Any chance on an updated video? I'm looking at this monitor as an alternative to OLED and cheaper 1440p monitors.
@@riba2233 Sadly that's curved so for me this is the best flat panel right now with a acceptable price range for me as of now tho I am waiting till after CES to decide if i want to get one on market now or wait.
i can personally say having owned one that the contrast is pretty bad, and the ips glow/backlight bleed was REALLY bad on mine. A huge yellow glow in the bottom left area of the display that makes anything dark unbearable to look at. Motion performance and colour quality are good though.
It's great to see you following up issues like this. Keep up the good work.

Great video! Really hoping you make a similar one for the alienware DWF if a firmware update ever comes out in the future
Appreciate the update on this. I'm still interested in the GP27u, but thats mainly due to companies still not releasing products they announced at last CES. Guess there is no point in waiting for the release of products from the upcoming CES either.
I'm very impressed with the quality of your analysis. Your videos are really outstanding
thanks for the update, these are indeed dealbreakers for me.
very cool to see you using frog pursuit, aperture grille is a criminally underrated channel
New firmware update V1.4 - 11/27/2023, would love for you to test this again.
You need to advertise this channel more in the main channel. You could mention it in the end of every video.
Others have noted that the GP27Q firmware is up to version 1.2.1. It would really be nice to find out if the worst problems are fixed. I don't know of other mini-LED QD 1440P 27" monitors. If its firmware was good, I'd probably own one by now. Any chance, Tim?

@@donsly375 I own a "55 OLED and it's way too big for literally any kind of monitor setup. I'm buying the 27"1440p version of this cooler master.
@@k12rising i'm thinking about this monitor as well, but I'm afraid of the blooming, ips glow and backlight bleed. With a OLED I'm atleast certain those 3 issues won't exist
Blooming is a non issue when gaming. Only one game I could noticeably see it was MS FS 2020 at night. Even then going down to local dimming low or medium basically solves it. No back-light bleed either.
Can you do another update with the even newer firmware updates for both models?
Has there been any firmware improvements since, and do you intend to do a follow up video?
Seems like they uploaded new firmware versions. For GP27U, it is currently version 1.3.1. For GP27Q, it is currently version 1.2.1.
BTW, seems like the company making those monitors is in fact KTC. They have released nearly identical monitors.
Waiting for a part 3, as I'm in love with these monitor once they fix these issues! Any news about EU premiere though?
Oh it's not in EU yet? But there are some online shops that sell it. Do you think it will be cheaper, with the "EU premiere"?
@@millanferende6723 Unavailable everywhere, sold out or never selling in most places
@@Animatron11 Same, still waiting for it. Sold out everywhere or never sold in first place.
Cooler Master NL twitter said it would be in stock in February, but they probably can't make it.
Some webshops are bold enough to state end of February is when they expecting stock again, but I'm not confident in that.
I'm loving my GP27Q though, it's a far better monitor from my Asus PG278QR, sure it's not perfect but for £500 and for what it offers it's amazing. HDR peak brightness is blinding, at the FPS2 mode its really blinding, I haven't noticed any flickering issues so far, and to be fair I haven't really tested HDR, apart from one video on youtube. Overall I'm well satisfied Mini Led IPS, also noticed a significant improvement on input lag, my accuracy on the likes of Call of Duty is far better now, I'm less likely to see the kill cam when I die and find out a completely different thing than I saw on my screen. I just would like to get an ICC profile to better calibrate the colours as I don't have the equipment or the patience to do it or even the knowhow. Thank you for your input Tim, really appreciate the work you guys do.
when the technology of OLEDs are a bit better, and there are more options available as monitors in a more traditional format and size 27" - 32" flat panels, and gfx cards push even further FPS I'll just upgrade into a 4K OLED panel instead, until then I'll stick to this one

Exactly I'm just building my pc probably going to have to spend 2500$ on the pc, table and accessories I'd like a dual monitor setup and simply can't afford more than 500$ each people will compare a 500$ monitor to 800$ ones and it's really unhelpful
Are you still satisfied with the monitor? Is there any problem?
Appreciate the video. I’m all in on the gp27q now that they’ve fixed the vrr/hdr issue. Flickering in a stress test is a non issue for me (and I suspect most people) and the other issues mentioned are minor (imho) and are sure to be patched in an update. Shame they are sold out for now
flickering is not just in stress test, just only noticeable in stress tests, a complete deal breaker as anything less than flicker-free for long term usage will tire your eyes and increase vision loss.
@@Jack-he8jv never had a problem with ‘tired eyes’ and give me a break with the vision loss claim. If it’s not noticable then it’s as good as being not there to me
Bought the 27Q for myself for Christmas. While not on the newest firmware it was capable of HDR and Adaptive out of the box think it was ahead of the software in this video.
Haven't noticed Flickering but I'm not a pro.
Things unreal imo!
Are you still satisfied with the monitor? Is there any problem?
@@amirmohammad527 I am really satisfied, I have noticed the flickering now. That's mostly because I keep windows in HDR permanently, which means I have the backlights on causing the flicker. I'm lazy and like the not overly saturated colour vibe.
The colours and HDR content are gorgeous but my only influence of OLED is my phone. Along with that the contrast and blacks are amazing too. If you have no context next to it to compare, the blacks are black black.
I don't notice bleeding unless I'm past 140ish + degrees. I wear glasses and lights always twinkle and look funky so your mileage may vary on that.
It's good yeah alright 😎
@@KeepoKreepo Thanks, one more thing, what version of the update did you install? what version
I got the GP27U.
I’ve had my frustrations with this, and I think most of them will be ironed out with updates.
I don’t use this for PC use, as I only game on my Series X.
I will say the panel looks incredible, and the blacks are nearly/on par as good as my Lg OLED.
I really hope the USB hub sleep problem will be fixed, and the black screen on wake.
The USB KVM hub powering down is one of the most annoying issues, especially since it means I have to unplug my mouse to wake my desktop…
@@RhysMorgan yeah I bet this would suck. I don’t have these issues but it would annoy me for sure if I used PC
Hey Tim, it looks like that your sample (GP27U) works better than my one. After the latest FW Update the gamut was clamped correctly in sRGB or P3 mode but the WP is all over the place. Meaning the calibration is gone! The GP27Q has the same issue: all color space presets are broken. So after I checked this I stopped testing because with the broken factory calibration one of the key selling factors are gone. However, thanks for your revised to these monitors!
I still can't find one in stock. Especially in Canada, but not even in the US.
Thanks for this been waiting for this to land, your vids are great. I’m torn between the CM27U and Neo G7… both are in my price range and I have seen the Neo G7 below £1k GBP but torn as to what to get as the CM is still an attractive price V features now with firmware update… any thoughts? A comparison video of both would be good 👀😂👌🏻
Save $500 and go for the GP27Q. 4K isn't worth it yet.
Been waiting for this! Thanks. The GP27U is the one I've been looking at for months as a work/gaming monitor due to the color accuracy and high refresh. Happy to see input lag has decreased a lot in SDR mode which will be great for competitive games (not concerned with gaming in HDR, it's cool to try but not a major thing to me). Cooler Master should fix those issues with the GP27Q soon as well for people who have or are looking to get that monitor. Good on them for at least being honest on issues they had and delivering on their promise for a November firmware update.
We are on 1.4.1 will we see a revisit?
Yep, still the best all rounder HDR monitor out there. It's just that I don't want to be a test subject for firmware issues, I'd like to know how things are nowadays...
@@Yurgen_S I haven't had issues but then I'm not sure what to even look for lol

What a shame@@Yurgen_S
I want to add to the review of this monitor. I tried to setup triple 4k setup, however, only 2 monitors at a time were able to be connected while the 3rd monitor remained off. I checked around forums and found out the display port DSC function did not work properly. So, the monitor can only be used for single display or dual display mode. It is a very pretty monitor, but, the blooming artifacts really hurt my eyes. I tried to adjust settings, but, this was hard to do. I would suggest waiting for another year to see what happens in the OLED market, wait until prices come down , or wait to see if these mini-LED panels improve in their ability to be connected in a myriad of configurations. I did get the gigabyte m28u instead and although it has a softer showing in picture quality, it s 85-90% of the quality of the gp27u at nearly half the price. For this channel, a tutorial on how to tell if monitors can be made in triple monitor setups would be great. More importantly n how to spot these issues ahead of time before buying so we can also save our time, too. Overall, thisis the best channel for monitor reviews.
Just returned my GP27U. Not enough dimming zones and blooming was very trippy and noticeable on my unit. I have just ordered the REDMAGIC 4K Gaming Monitor, which appears to be specced identically except it has 1,152 dimming zones (twice as many as the Coolermaster) but I don't think it has quantum dot. Hope to see a review of that one soon.
so how is it my boi
Hey Tim. I'm really interested what local dimming in SDR looks like with these mini-led FALD displays. It would be awesome, if you could implement this sort of testing in your upcoming monitor reviews/comparisons. Thanks :)
In this case, it's not great. The gamma goes pretty far out of whack, making mid-tones lose a lot of detail. In my experience, FALD on with contrast taken way down looks OK-ish, but not quite right. SDR content in Windows' HDR mode looks closer to right.
Cooler Master does say they're working on improving that in future firmware updates, though.
With FALD off, though, it looks about the same as any other good wide-gamut IPS panel.
@@LouisHochmanTheJourno Can this be enabled on a per input basis? Meaning like enabled on HDMI 1 with a PS5 and disabled on HDMI 2 for desktop use?
@@thevisi0naryy I believe it remembers HDR/SDR settings and individual profiles on a per-input basis.
The 1.4.1 firmware update was released in November. Any chance of updating your verdict?
Firmware is up to v1.2.1 does it fix the issues and be recommended?
Support the question
Thank you Tim for providing an update and speaking on the flicker situation. Flicker is a major concern for me. I wonder if there’s any chance CM can decrease or remove the flicker with firmware on this hardware.
I didn't understand, does the flicker happen even with VRR disabled ?
I'm not sure where Hardware Unboxed got their results from, or how they measured HDR and SDR input lag. The monitor's total input lag in both SDR and HDR with Local Dimming is around 2.5 to 3ms, with a grand total input delay of up to 8.8ms at 60Hz.
The search for the perfect monitor continues
Been using the U for months and haven't noticed any flickering.
Nice work. Be sure to make another video for the next firmware update for these monitor which I'm sure there will be.
I really
Hope they make a mini led monitor with 32” waiting for that day to come
neo g7
This is a great video. I am in the market for a new monitor to replace my current Viotek GNV34DBE. It's currently between the GP27Q as a cheap option or the AW3423DWF. If CM finally ever fixes all the issues with these monitors they will be great.
I'll tell you one piece of advice, the alienware oled is good but burn in is going to happen, I'm on my 3rd one since release , dell has to keep replacing it. Although other than that it's a pretty good monitor for hdr and even sdr content. The main culprit for burn in on these is youtube and content with black borders.
@@mattg768 Are you using HDR 1000 mode? I got the DWF finally and have only been using HDR true black. That's plenty bright enough for my location and using Win11 SDR content slider turned down to 25%.
Really appreciate this follow up, im still unsure how much i can accept the Gp27U flickering.
Damn I feel like every interesting monitor has some issues.
Honestly its endless researching at this point. Like you said whenever a monitor comes into closer consideration there is a major drawback around the corner....
This is how things are done everywhere now. Products released half baked and best case scenario get fixed along the way. In less ideal scenario they never get fixed.
smooth frog is now my favourite thing
there is 1.4 update relased on 24.1.2024 can you make update?
All the problems of this monitor have been solved, should I buy it?
have you tested the 1.2 firmware? I think there is a low flicker mode now, but I'm curious what the tradeoff is.
Tim, I beg you! Become the champion of pc budget gaming by being the person who consistently informs the masses about CUSTOM RESOLUTION!
The world of pc gaming at large is ignorant to the fact that they can set up an array of resolutions between 1440p and 4k for example, so they can have the fps as well as the graphics quality settings they want!
1530p 1620p 1710p 1800p 1890p 1980p 2070p...! these resolutions installed in our gpu's resolution options allow for the best gaming experience possible without the unnecessary and often abysmal side effects of upscalers like fsr and dlss. It's an absolute game changer having these and we're talking maybe only 4% of the gaming world knows about it.
Because out of the 25 or so people I've brought it up to, 0 have been aware of it!
And with '8k' kicking around the gaming world but not taking off CLEARLY there is a serious problem with people having this as a go to, all these 8K videos, choppy as can be , I can't what them as their performance drops into the 40's, all they have to do is do a custom resolution of 3600p and there video will look almost every bit of 8k but flow at 60fps easily.
playing FH5 I get 95-105fps with max settings at 4k with my 3080, all i do is drop it to 2016p and I get my 115 desired 'frame-buster' GSYNC fps setting on my 4k 120 tv... flawless, beautiful, the scaler in that game creates nasty artifacts on the road and the DLSS option is a HUGE step back!
I just don't understand why I'm the only person I've ever known to see and express this... not sure where I'm suppose to send you a question for videos where you answer comments but I'd love it if you could plug this in.
Okay thanks Tim you are the monitor man! I got a MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD for my mother who has eye issues on sale back when it dropped because of you and it's been a real pleasure for her, she's on it about 16hrs a day lol!
Not sure whether it's the right channel or post. I was so pleased with my Cooler Master GP27U. It just broke, half of the mini LEDs stopped working all of a sudden (the left half). Pretty painful. Anybody else experienced this? I'll have to return it to have it repaired? Guarantee?
I want to see a proper HDR ultrawide 38-40" monitor in 2023, with no dimming on the desktop please.
I love and hate my GP27U - love the colour, the contrast , the brightness but HATE the fact I can't select between inputs without getting a black screen (no OSD). Even when it does work the OSD occasionally refused to operate and the only solution is turn the monitor off/on. Probably going to return it as even with 1.2.1 firmware it's just toio flaky for daily use.
You don't have to reboot the monitor, press CTRL SHIFT WINDOWS B it will reset the drivers. (sometimes you need to do this twice)
Way more easy then turning it off and on again.
This works 9 out of 10 times, the 10 time only solution is indeed off/on.
ALT WINDOWS B is HDR on/off
I was ready to get the 1440p version. I guess i have to wait until it get fixed or another true hdr monitor shows up
I thought that maybe this display wasn't available because it was always sold out. Starting to think it's not available because they are trying to fix all the bugs, and are limiting supply.
Especially low availability in Europe, which happens to have strong consumer protection laws. 🤔
If you want to see flickering, test AOC FALD Displays.
TFT Central also tests PWM Flickering. Nearly all FALD Display have it more or less. Samsung is ok but Coolermaster and AOC alot. Didnt looked up what the 3000 Bucks Viewsonic is doing in the Flickering Department.
Thank you! Also appreciate any updates on the aw34.....qd-oled DWF if anything happens to fix its issues!
Hi, firmware 1.4.1 avaible now, please someone can share impressions on bug fixes?
What a bummer. I returned my GP27Q with the idea of buying it in the future when they got it sorted out. Sad to hear it's not better (and even worse).
Was it that bad?
I wonder if these issues you describe Tim are resolved in the GP27Q as the firmware-version is at 1.4.1 as of now. It's on sale at quite an attractive price and if the issues are resolved it's hard to pass on...
I'm looking forward to this, as I'm fed up with having to tiptoe around the fragile little flower that is a desktop OLED. By now, it seems like most of the firmware issues have been addressed.
Not really, the firmware is still so so broken it is not even fun no more.
I can't install the latest firmware on my Q model the 1.4.1.
If i use that firmware i end up on a death loop when i turn on my screen, only thing i see is a never ending CoolerMaster logo and nothing more.
The monitor is getting no signal from the DP or HDMI, only solution is to unplug all cables and turn off the monitor, then plug it back in and turn it back on.
The moment i restart my pc it is game over, you can start over.
If the monitor turns to sleep it is over.
I'm using 1.2.1 again, most stable for me.
And guess what? No support from Coolermaster just dead silence nothing more from them.
I've got the Q model too now and it comes with 1.21 out of the box. Was one step away from installing the latest, then read a few reddit posts claiming that some of the settings get locked in hdr mode after the update (1.41). Kept the factory firmware and going by what you're saying - not even considering trying to update. Seems like CM software for these is a total crapshoot. Quite satisfied with the screen otherwise though.
@@edwards409 Agreed, the monitor is amazing but i got a love/hate relation with the Q cause of the firmware.
The black screens is what's bugging me in HDR gaming. CTRL SHIFT WINDOWS B is my best friend on this monitor. And when that fails only option is to turn off/on the monitor to get the picture back up. Lots of people complaining about this on Reddit. I did provided CM lots of information with pictures and what is going on with the latest update.
It is a shame how CM is giving us the silent treatment. I bet you they are ignoring us until there is no more support on this monitor.
hopefully their monitors get the same love as their mice.. the first MM731 during the initial release was so crap that they had give a massive discount to clear stock even after they had fixed the issues cause no one was buying them. next they released the MM712 which was much bettter but the damage to their reputation had been done.
Congrats to CM for the incediple price/perf for this monitors and for the ongoing support. The others monitors company at the same price have garbage edge-lit product. Second be more accurate in the reviews because you recomend the odyssey g7 who has flickering and the worst quality. Third a tftcentral review who are the best specialist is up for everyone for this monitors and has a little solution for the sdr local diming.
Tim, when we getting a review of the 34" Odyssey G8 OLED!?
My Odyssey G7 flickered like crazy in lots of games with Freesync enabled. I'll never use a monitor like that again, so this would be a deal-breaker for me. I returned that G7 and put the money towards an LG C2 42, which was on sale for $800.
It seems embarrassing to me to have to fix a product post launch. When you buy a monitor you expected to work out the box without having to do extra calibration or firmware updates.
That's modern world for you. QC no longer exist in factory, just first batch buyer will be tester
hey Tim, do you plan on reviewing more 200-400$ VA panels? it seems you prefer mostly IPS models in this price range, but I actually prefer the look of the VA image in this price range. thank you for considering!
I was set to get this Monitor but think I'll go for the Neo G7. Doesn't seem to have as many issues.
Please review the AOC 25G3ZM/BK, it is a VA 24.5" monitor. YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE FOR A GOOD REVIEW!
AOC claims fast response times with this one and I wonder if it uses latest gen VA panels with decent response times.
Good to know they've pushed out an update, disappointing to know the Q model got downgraded. The U sounds like an overall win for the firmware update. Are there any other decent Mini LED monitors in this price range? The other top monitors are Ultrawide or curved screen which feels like a gimmick imo. The LG OLED monitor could be a contender but I'd still prefer non-oled because I use VR heavily with static content for many hours at once.
What does the picture look like in SDR? I'm not a fan of 'no detail in shadows' and 'nuked highlights' that HDR causes.
I can get GP27Q for 330 dollar now, should I go with it?
I was getting color banding/blocking after the firmware update when using both local dimming and adaptive sync at 165hz. Setting the refresh rate at 144 fixes this but it's still a bummer.
Hi! Thanks for the video! Will there be a monitor review MSi Optix MAG342CQR?
I just got mines and I've been trying to update it I followed the instructions but for some reason it doesn't want to update
Have they released any new updates that fix the local dimming not working in SDR mode?
If not gp27u than what you recommend?
Why would we turn on VRR and not just g-sync/FreeSync?
1:45 please tell me that the stutter during the panning shot come from the game and not from the screen ?
What is the flickering test used on this monitor? Can you give us the link please?
Ask LG to fix the LG Ultra Gear 27GP850-B.. If you enable HDR the joystick doesnt work anymore.
It is my firm belief that releasing the monitors in this state greatly damaged the ability of them to sell effectively.
How do you update the firmware?
The bigger problem is... the lack of alternatives.
Are there any other not OLED, flat, 1440p/4K, 27", 144Hz+, and true HDR with so many (or more) dimming zones monitors which will not require selling a kidney?
the short answer to that is no... all other monitors are far more expensive than this one, and as I said on my comment, for me it's perfect, I'm loving it for the price and what it offers it's awesome... I very much doubt I'll play any games with HDR on, its more for content consumption, and it's a true HDR monitor not like the fake HDR10/400 or even HDR600 that many monitors on the market has. It's quite blinding the level of brightness this monitor gets. And like I said for the price (£500 here in the UK) there's no other monitor out there that offers this level of performance at this price range... all the other mini led, HDR1000+, 165HZ or more costs well over £1000 and or are not available at least not in the UK... because at that price range for a mini led I was tempted to go for that Alienware OLED one, eventhough I do not like ultra wide and curved monitors and that monitor also have some flaws... So until OLEDs gets better and are more available in the more traditional formats I'll stick to this one
@@darkness_120 That's the whole issue here. This monitor is not perfect but there are no alternatives. That's why I will go most probably for this one or I will resign from HDR and then Gibabyte M27Q-P will be my option. I just don't want an ultrawide, or curve monitor, and 27" is more than enough for me.

But I'm not hopeful I just lost the same amount of money as I paid for the GP27Q.... So fuck that company, extremely do not recommend them to anybody
Why wouldn't they just drop the refresh rate to 144hz with VRR and HDR enabled to eliminate the flickering issue. I mean you'd still have to have the firmware on point but it should give you that bandwidth headroom to make it far less likely.
Can you not do that in the menu options?
Does local dimming work in SDR now? This monitors ticks all the boxes for me and my budget. It's just the local dimming in SDR and flickering (Although Rtings say there is not noticeable flickering). Could somebody advise? Thanks
Newest update fixed the blown out sdr image when local dimming is on. They added a new low flicker mode in the local dimming options too. I've been using local dimming on high and havent noticed any flickering when hdr and adaptive sync are both on. I use a 3090 so most of my framerates are pretty high 90+ in multiplayer games. I get around 50 - 60fps in hogwarts legacy and havent noticed any flickering at lower framerates. I think the KVM issues are still there but I dont use that feature.
How do we update the firmware?
I could not find anything about it on Cooler Master website
So it has flickering and no HDR with synch ?
Cooler Master has released another firmware upgrade as of Feb 17, 2023
what did it address?
edit: Wow, it seems like they only updated the GP27U last month and have yet to address any of the newly introduced bugs for the GP27U. That's unfortunate.
Could you somehow benchmark the display stream compression image quality? I cant find relevant tests amywhere. I know vesa claims its visually unnoticeable, but I'd like to see if for example 4k 240 over DP1.4 causes any artifacts
Does it flicker when moving/switching windows (alt tabbing) in windows? The LG C1 does this when windows are mostly white - not the standard dimming when the full screen is white, but quick flickers a couple of times in one second briefly.
Is it possible to find these monitors ANYWHERE within the EU?
Let me know if you can find one.
