Important updates: - There's some weird behavior with the OSD. If you enable local dimming, VRR is greyed out, but if you enable VRR first, you CAN enable local dimming, but it'll then turn off VRR itself. I hadn't noticed this during gaming on this (a 4090 doesn't exactly struggle), but this is a possible issue and I'm waiting for CM to answer if this is a bug or intentional. - I see some comments (here and on reddit) about the "low" 2371:1 contrast. Remember this is with FALD set to LOW (which is the best overall experience imho), but most importantly this is in SDR Content! So in HDR with a much higher brightness it would normally be ~3x higher, if not more.
27 is the perfect sweet spot for a working monitor. The bigger you go the less density so the resolution starts making less sense, yet the GPU has to move the same amount of pixels anyway.
If they did this in 32" (and maybe tightened the colour profiles a smidge) I'd get this in a heartbeat. My PC and Monitor are 7 years old now so I need something new xD
I'm still using 10 years old PC with 9 years old monitor. Planning to buy new one next year but I will grab this monitor little brother (1440p) next month
Very good overview of the screen. Thanks. Can't wait for the release of display port 2.1 compatible screens. I hope you will be the first to present one to us😊👍.
That's very tempting for me. I've been looking for a monitor in the 27" - 32" range that has at least 120hz at 1440p or 4K resolution, while delivering a true HDR1000+ experience. I saw that there was a 1440p variant, but no HDMI 2.1 for consoles. I might wait just a little longer to see how the rest of the monitor space evolves.
now imagine how good a 23.8" 1440p 240Hz MiniLED (with 576 Zones & local dimming enabled in SDR) monitor with properly tuned response times (and with variable overdrive) would be for competitive gaming 🤩
I find it odd it only reaches VA panel contrast levels despite having mini LED. I can't really fathom how that's possible as the zones can turn completely off...
WTF, waited all year for exactly this specs :o And now it just pops up randomly?! 4K, 160 Hz, MiniLED with proper HDR and local dimming, below 1.000$? Wow, take my money ^^ price and brightness def. make it a great pick!
I like the idea of this monitor on paper but the package the monitor is in feels quite taki. While I don't mind some RGB I don't really like it on monitors. The flimsy frame and large bezels aren't that nice either.
7:33 170hz on this monitor …. Is this an over driver feature or a typo? The monitor is a very impressive monitor for spec’s, results, and quality shown in this video 🥰💪🤩👍. I think this is my new monitor purchase which I’m looking for now 🥳✊. Thank you Nada for this monitor review and it came at the perfect time for me 🥳🎉. The USB hub, Type-C 90w charging and 2x HDMI 2.1 inputs is a massive bonus for me 🤩🤯!
Disable scaling on the monitor (if possible) enable scaling on the gpu and make sure to tick integer scaling. Should be pixel perfect 1080p but on 27 inch so not perfect but not bad either.
Seems like a great more affordable entry into HDR monitors. It does seem like IPS really needs at least twice as many dimming zones as a VA panel to get the same level of contrast. Not all scenes have blacks so it probably looks great in brightly lit scenes.
Great review! I was close to purchasing their 1440p model GP27Q... But I had not realized the slower latency of them in comparison to well known IPS monitors... that's a no-no for competitive play. I guess Mini-LED still has some catchup to do in that department. But for non-competitive gameplay, these seem awesome!
I don't like hearing that IPS LED panels are immune to failure by bringing up it's strength that it won't get burn in. Dead pixels and LED zone failure are a common thing with Mini-Led architecture.
Thanks for the great review, very helpful. I have a question in regards to the high power consumption you highlighted, does this monitor have some sort of 'eco' or 'power saving' mode which can be enabled via the osd?
snagged one of the last in stock on amazon for $800, its coming in a few days. the specs were too good at that price for me not to try. shame it's only 27" though, i'd pay 1k for a 32" of this
I am asking because I couldn't find the exact specsheeet / manual with the info .. and e.g. my ThinkVision P44w-10 doesn't support HDR over Type-C port (it can do 144Hz tho...) but only over DP 1.4 ... which is kinda a pain with a laptop
Always happy to clarify if something is unclear :) But no, it means that on a 100% window (basically a full screen white image) it can do 1385 nits. When given a 1000 nits signal it's measuring 729 nits. This is pretty normal / good scaling.
I know. Apple sheep will buy anything with a Apple logo on it. Although i have a M1 Mac Mini i am not daft enough to spend over £1600 on a display when there are better alternatives.
@@se7enity648 Depends on your use-case. Like Nada said, if you're in a line of work that requires high color accuracy, then you'll probably need to manually calibrate it which would have you spending some extra money. If you're just looking at it for content consumption, then there's really no need to go for a 4K 160Hz display, an M1 Mac Mini wouldn't be able to push anywhere close to those framerates. Not to mention that there's no reason to really go above 1440p in a 27" form factor IMO.
@Se7enity@@jerghal You have some ideas about professional users that aren't really true. (PC vs Mac fights are soooooo 1997) @Alex Schendel Yes, you'll have to buy a calibration unit like the Datacolor Spyder5. Yes, there is a reason to go beyond 1440p in a professional situation.
The input latency section has a little vague explanation. The input lag is fairly bad at 60hz with HDR turned on, but when local dimming and HDR is off at 120hz the monitor performs around 3.8-4.6ms input lag on advanced overdrive settings. Please be a little more detailed in your videos 😅
You mentioned per unit calibration, when i received mine it has a printout with the results of the calibration. Wondering if your review unit that they may have forgot to put that paper back in the box.
@@TechTesters sadly no :( i don't tend to buy monitors too often, though I've debated it quite a few times! It's so hard to tell what is "correct" eye balling it.
@@TechTesters oh great! Am I wrong or would it be the first 1440p panel that supporta hdr1000? I feel like I've looked for a monitor like that for a long time but 1440p panels are aways HDR600. Thanks for replying!
@@pietroalessandrini mini LED can goes up to 1000 HDR. That's why I waiting for mini LED, my monitor died early this year and I use old 900p monitor from 2013.
Its funny how no one seems to know there’s no gpus / technology available to use 4k monitors over 120(144)hz - still companies push them out in 240 hz! AMDs next gen will be supporting displayport2.1 which will unlock full potential of this monitor.
@@TechTesters Interwebs says this: "Similarly, DisplayPort 1.4 only supports 4K up to 120HZ unless you use a DP 1.4 cable with DSC(Display Stream Compression). With DSC you can reach 144Hz at “4K” with compression. There are many other differences between the two types including differences in color gamut and integrated tech for screen tearing, etc."
So when you measure minimum brightness is that with a pure black image cuz 64 nits sounds really disappointing if that's the case. The dimming zones should be able to detect that and turn off entirely is my understanding, I wonder if the algorithm needs tweaking
Minimum brightness is the lowest brightness you can measure showing a pure white image. If that was a black image it would mean the contrast is closer to 8:1 or so ;)
this gets brighter in hdr content vs the samsung and it has an updateable firmware via usb so it will be overall better now as for samsung they are said to make an odyssey g9 neo ultrawide for 2023 with displayport 2.1 so 7680x2160 at 32:9 hopefully they don't mess that one up
Local Dimming in SDR, if the software is good, then this is very nice even with "just" 500 zones. AOC Agon monitor is pointless since it can hardly be found anywhere, if at all, I am really waiting for competition there.

Blooming, also known as the halo effect, is a display artifact that occurs when light from isolated bright objects on a screen bleeds into darker areas surrounding it. This creates a sort of a halo around the object, hence the name “halo effect.”
The Alienware doesn't have as high of a resolution total, has a risk (or guarantee over a long period of time) of burn-in, has pixel sharpness issues on desktop use, lower peak brightness, and is more expensive.

Wounder if there is difference in pixel response time between local dimming on/off
Awesome review! It's great to see quality 4K, high-refresh monitors under $1K.
I bought two of these tonight for €300 each. They look like solid monitors for what I’m planning to do with them.
32" variant with slightly higher number of zones would be perfect.
Great technical review
Finally a 27 inch 4k monitor. Gimme that pixel density.
I would like to see a 27" 4K in person. Only seen 32" and up. They also have a 1440P version for $500
For those without HDR. It is a bigger upgrade than any new graphics card. My alienware oled is amazing.
Very nice review
Are the reponse times tested with local dimming set to low or off? It might make a big difference.
This is a KTC monitor, an OEM for this
Cooler Master also has other OEM's making their headphones.
Chinese, but great quality
I find it odd it only reaches VA panel contrast levels despite having mini LED. I can't really fathom how that's possible as the zones can turn completely off...

There's won't be OLED at 1440p 27". This is because OLED is expensive to make.

If theres a 32” one would be gr8 for 4k content and gaming
What is the disadvantage of local dimming? Only blooming?
It often lags behind pixel response time.
Blooming is not a disadvantage, because without it you just wouldn’t have blacks.
Blooming, also known as the halo effect, is a display artifact that occurs when light from isolated bright objects on a screen bleeds into darker areas surrounding it. This creates a sort of a halo around the object, hence the name “halo effect.”
The only REAL problem with this monitor is backlight dying afrer 6-8 months of use, i dont know how KTC or AUO made that kind of mistake...
No comparisons to the Neo G7 in the charts?
Edit: Wait, has this channel done a Neo G7 review?
is it better than gigabyte m27u?
For HDR absolutely. If you don't care about HDR the M27U is a safe all-round choice.
Would the GP27U be a better choice over the Sony Inzone M9?
No, get the M9
Yes
@@SeaSphynx Why? Isn't that just another mini-LED IPS panel except with like 500 fewer dimming zones?
@@LucidStrike M9 has 96 dimming zones to be exact. That monitor is $100 more and doesn't come with the feature set of this one.
@@SeaSphynx Yeah get it if you like Sonys Schlong in your mouth
Are u guys preferring this one instead of the Alienware qd oled?
this one is 4k its up to you, what u want? 4k ?
The Alienware doesn't have as high of a resolution total, has a risk (or guarantee over a long period of time) of burn-in, has pixel sharpness issues on desktop use, lower peak brightness, and is more expensive.
Oled still has weakness with burn in and prices
Can you please answer this Q: was your measurements for response time with local dimming active ?
Considering you don’t ever want to turn off LD with this monitor, I think so
Matte :)
why they have to put a big ass stand 😅 if they do it wider and the depth is smaller I m going to buy it😢
Anyone know where I can get that wallpaper? Thanks
I wonder this too!

Good review/monitor, but I would still go with an oled (had one for a monitor for over two years now, hard to go back).
Which OLED is 27"? Please show me
@@boboboy8189 Next year bro

Hey I may have missed it but does anyone know how bright this gets in hdr after a calibration??
@danebeee She said 1400 nits, not sure if it’s before calibration or right out of the box.
@@mart182003 yeah I heard that I’m pretty sure that was before Calibrsting to a proper white point.
its calibrated from the factory you get a specsheet after you receive it in the box.
Is 4K even be possible to run at 160hz? What's the max supported hz for 4K I thought it was 120hz?
160Hz if you use DisplayPort. HDMI would be limited to 120Hz
You can run even 4k @ 240Hz if your monitor and gpu supports DSC.
RTX 4090 and 10900K said, yes, yes we can. Can you afford us?
@@WheeledHamster For older games you don't need such powerful gpu to get hundreds of frames on a 4k monitor.
