This is the best review I was able to find about this monitor! Thank you for talking about the BGR panel. It is so strange that it behaves differently with different operating systems. I've seen on your website that you tested it with MacOS and got different results.
How does it perform on MacOS?
I have bought it, and the bgr has turned out not to be a problem for me personally. Picture quality is great, colours are vibrant and the gaming experience is excellent. If you can live with some of it's minor drawbacks then I would fully recommend this monitor given it's very competitive price point.
Honestly it's performing better than lg 83a, the backlight bleed, contrast, color accuracy is better. Only downside is the bgr layout(I don't know why is it so hard to make the text rendering work, you can flip any tablets and the text are just fine), and the black equalizer is terrible on this monitor, but there are work arounds
@@blakexi7162 because various apps including browsers don't properly manage the global settings, so text looks like trash. this is more of a problem with windows letting apps go wild instead of holding them to some minimum requirements.
I just ordered mine, do you recommend any settings to be sit out of the box? (mainly for gaming)
Do you still have it? If so, how is it holding up?
@@Onycato I do still have it. Holding up as any monitor would I suppose; monitors should last for years.
Just ordered this based on your guys suggestions! Thanks!
So his is it?
How do u like it ?
Really hoping to see more competition with this feature set! I went ahead and ordered one and I'm excited to give it a shot! The only other panel that's coming this year (that I know of) with the same KVM, 1440p, 144hz+ is the EVE Spectrum. These features are ideal for people working from home who use the same monitor/keyboard/mouse for work and gaming both.
How do you like it?
What kind of USB c cable is needed to get the full resolution/refresh rate from the KVM?
@@ExpertAssass1n The M27Q has been great so far! Only a couple small gripes but not deal breakers:
1. Switching between input sources while the monitor is in standby is a huge pain because its so quick to sleep itself when it can't find a signal, so you have to be very quick to choose another input source. Otherwise you have to be on one that's already putting out a signal. Most of the time you'll be switching using the dedicated KVM button. In my case I'm using 3 PCs so I occasionally switch sources manually.
2. The BGR subpixel layout (rather than RGB) looks strange when you've been using RGB all your life, and operating systems have designed text smoothing to take advantage of an RGB layout, so text can appear a little too sharp unless you make some adjustments to monitor sharpness and your OS's font settings (ClearType on Windows, and some third party tools on Mac I believe).
@@andy_byrd Your safest bet is a standard Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable that meets that spec. Otherwise, grab a USB-C 3.1 cable with at least 10Gbps transfer rate. Mine work great on 2 different Mac machines at high refresh rates.
@@docmars thanks I grabbed a thunderbolt 3 cable!
Perfect Review! Thank you.
good to see the flat panels back in full force
Just bought one based on RTINGS and Displaninja reviews, so far it's great.
To fix the bgr issue just changet the display setting in the OSD sidekick to sRGB.
literally the best review ever
welp, this and hardware unboxed review made me pull the trigger on this monitor, thanks for the great reviews guys
Me too. Just bought it.
How is it
@@dih1125 honestly, pretty good, I'm satisfied with my purchase, and I would recommend it, it also comes with three plugs for EU, US and Asia I think, for my bad luck, tho, none of them work for me in Chile South America, but I bought an adapter and it was good
Good review. Reason I purchased this monitor over the MSI qd
I picked up an M27Q during a boxing day sale.
I have been very pleased with the display, I use it for gaming and content creation.
I GOT mine today and i cant Even change Settings like brightness and Stoff und when i Play Warzone the picture Gets wished out its unplayable what is This ?
@@schumeliernst8060 you might be at 60hz on the monitors settings
have u had any issues with it?? I got it today with no bad pixels. But the problem is when I switch games on the ps5, the monitor would just randomly black out for 2 seconds then go back to normal. I’ve read reviews with pple having the same problem. I’m afraid it’ll break down after the return policy and I’ll waste $300

I do not use it with a console though.
My setup is Displayport on my gaming PC +KB and Mouse, Work laptop on HDMI.
Switching between the two with via its KVM works fine and it does what I need for both systems.
Great review
That transition beat is sick af!
Any plans on reviewing the Acer Nitro xv272u 170hz?
Bought 2 recently, 1 with a stuck blue pixel, the other with a dead pixel. Returned both, I was bummed cuz they have good features I wanted
I bought this about 7 months ago, and have not had a single problem. I reccomend it.

Review was up to Mark.🔥
Oh man I'm so torn on this monitor. I just got it myself and put it through all kinds of tests. My overall impression for the price (290 euros) is positive, but here's my pro's and cons list and why I'm still undecided on keeping it: (warning: long post)
Pro's:
*+ motion handling & overdrive:* while there are faster panels out there, you won't find many that can go from 60hz to 170hz in Freesync without either having smearing *or* overshoot somewhere along the range. This one can, which is downright exceptional and competes with models over twice its price without breaking a sweat.
*+ works with both my PC @ 1440p 170z and Series X @ 1440p 120hz* without any issues or updates needed. I guess my came with the newer firmware already installed (if yours doesn't work with your console - update the firmware and it *will* work at 1440p 120hz over HDMI 2.0).
*+ excellent gray uniformity* on my unit (almost no dirty screen effect what-so-ever) so panning shots in-game or even watching sports on it is exceptionally good (especially when compared to my mid-high end Samsung Q90T television)
*+ many configuration options in the OSD* and software if you want to get into it.
*+ decent, albeit very plastic construction and finish*
Cons:
*- backlight bleed* : this is the big one for me here. The monitor has some IPS glow, primarily in the bottom left and right corner. This is expected for most IPS panels (even high end ones), *especially* (and unfortunately) for budget ones with good specs. However, there's also quite some backlight bleed that combines with it, especially that lower left corner (and a small part in the bottom center of the monitor). That bottom left spot is quite big and combined with IPS glow to form a large gold/orange glow that reacts to pressure (slightly squeeze the panel and it'll shift around). It's visible during anything that's not working in windows or contains any mid to dark tones and for me quite distracting.
I've heard both backlight bleed and IPS glow (especially the latter) can change (get either worse or better) over time, especially the first few weeks, with use as the panel gets some heat and time away from it's packaging due to pressure changes. So I'm planning on keeping it at least a week to see if it changes at all. If it doesn't... I might have to exchange it. But I'm hesitant as I've had horrible luck with monitors in the past (broken backlight on two, dead pixels or entire clusters on 3, simply 1 that was defective and the list goes on) and this one doesn't even seem to have dead or stuck pixels (haven't spotted a single one).
*BGR pixel structure* : This one is minor to me. I scale windows to 125% which looks kind of weird on its own and Cleartype does what it's supposed to mostly. Unnoticeable in games or watching movies. I work with text a lot and I do notice it here and there, but honestly the change from native to scaled is larger to my eyes than the difference between BGR/RGB text in most cases.
*Stand doesn't offer much* : can't expect too much in this price range, but some swivel or rotation would've been nice. I'm happy it doesn't take up much space though!.
So yeah, that was my lifestory on this monitor. Thanks for reading and if anyone's gotten this far: let me know how yours is treating you :p
Hey. I just got it today. Pretty much I share the same feelings about the IPS glow + backlight bleed in right and left bottom corners. Has this changed for you at all after your comment?
thanks for the list, it helped me out a ton and I decided to order it for the same price you did :D
Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll be buying my monitor at a store and testing it right there and then. A lot of pictures on the net about the bleed issue and it looks awful.
@@IamKley Just want to say to anyone in the future who reads that comment -- any form of bleeding is panel-dependent. Means you can get screwed with a bad monitor, or you won't. I'm just about to return some other IPS monitor of mine because it had a slightly faulty panel.
Great video and thorough testing. This shall be my next monitor
Did you get it? How was it?
@@OmarYoussef I ended up going with the LG 27gp850b and I do not regret it. Great monitor
@@claytonbigsby246 what made you change your mind? I’m also looking at that LG at the moment. As well as the ROG Strix XG27AQ.

Thoughts on the BGR:
So despite seeing the complaints regarding the BGR sub-pixel layout I went ahead and bought this because it still has everything else I'm looking for and then some. Too be honest, the BGR thing didn't even bother me in the least and that's not to say people who are complaining are invalid. Different things bother different people. If you're worried you might be bothered by it, just test it on your current monitor by setting it to "Landscape Flipped" if you're on Windows 10 under Display in Settings (or Rotate 180° for MacOS under Displays although I heard MacOS handles colors differently so this might not be an issue at all) and then just rotate the monitor if you can or just look at it and see if it bothers you when you read text at various sizes.
I speculate the possible reason it doesn't bother me might have to do with the fact I use dark theme for everything but I'm not entirely sure.
The reason I'm RMAing it (Stuck Pixel and way too much light bleed):
Now for the reason I'm currently going through the RMA process! Stuck pixels right out of the box that wouldn't go away after using methods to get them unstuck. However, there's another reason. At 05:44 in the video there's the mention of Black Uniformity. As stated in the video "Of course, this can vary between units" Now I know pretty well that IPS panel displays are a bit more likely to have things like light bleed, IPS glow (go figure), and it's kind of a game of chance where the odds are, you're likely going to get one with light-bleed it's only a matter of whether or not it's going to be bad enough for you to notice or care. My model in particular was, pretty bad. Making almost anyone I sent pictures of it to visibly and audible cringe. It had two massive orange blobs at the bottom corners of the screen that would show up even when it wasn't all that heavily dark and would show up pretty clearly. Since one of the added benefits for this monitor was to utilize its massive color gamut above SRGB verging close to full Adobe. To have shades of dark grey and black (or darker colors in general) show up orange inside of large blobs that take up a large portion of the screen almost completely defeats that benefit! It also doesn't help that I happen to want to use my "gaming monitor" for gaming where unless the game is exclusively bright and colorful you will see orange blobs. Playing RDR2 in first person mode during the daytime sequences would still have discoloration visible. Reminding me of my childhood years where I did the big dumb and took a magnet to my CRT monitor. This is unacceptable in my honest opinion. So yes, even if it didn't have any Stuck or Dead pixels I would have likely still been sending it back.
Advice before buying this monitor:
So if you think you want this monitor, certainly test switching your system to BGR by rotating your display by 180° and if you're okay with that. Then, try and see if you can buy it in a physical store. See if you can ask to take it out and test it. Go through some websites that help you check for dead pixels and display an all black image to verify there is an acceptable amount of light bleed for you to put up with. Or if they don't let you do that. Buy it, take it home, and if it's still got the same problem you can return it same day at least.
What programs would I notice BGR in? I would be using this in a multi-monitor setup where I will be buying 2 of the Gigabyte M27q and I already own an Asus TUG Gaming VG27AQ. Do you think I will notice it as much? I am a university student so lots of word documents and gaming application uses. Also, any issues with watching videos or things like Netflix etc.?
@@abemassri5929 Of those 2 monitors you mention, which one do you think is better? Literally that's why I'm looking at the review. It is my first monitor and I need help
@@kingcrimson3127 I like the M27q monitor a lot more it also is better. But it has the issue of being BGR. As explained in the video text won't seem as sharp and may have minimal blurriness to it. Is this just for gaming or also for work/student? Spending lots of time in Word etc?
@@kingcrimson3127 If you're okay with the BGR aspect of the monitor. Then I would hand down go for the M27Q, the colour accuracy, 170hz, free sync and Gsync compatible, 2560x1440p, IPS, KVM switch, PIP/PBP features, and again the top gaming monitor for colour accuracy, all under an affordable price. I would recommend doing what @BeRad117 said to do and check the BGR on your current monitor and see if it bothers you. I did it and it was so minimal that I didn't notice it. Although BGR fuzziness of text will vary from person to person based on their own eyesight/if you wear glasses and also how far away you sit from the screen. I just bought 2 of the M27Q for a triple setup for my current Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ.
@@abemassri5929 Sincerely for the 2 things
ordered this yesterday, gonna take 5 days to get to my home which is very strange, hope it is good and i really really really hope it doesnt come with dead pixels because i just returned a different monitor because it arrived with dead pixels.
can u guys pls review the Viewsonic vx2758 2KP-MHD? It seems best budget 2k 144hz monitor on the market
Hi! Is it worth the price difference picking this over the G27Q provided that I will almost never have the use for the KVM option? Is the overall difference noticeable (gaming and video/photo editing) ?
i had it for 2 months now and its great especially for gaming
what about the text?
@@les-fauxmonnayeurs9887 Get a vesa stand, turn it 180 degrees to have RGB orientation during Work, then turn it normally for gaming with great Response time and Low input lag. Easy fix if it really bothers you and you are willing to take half a Minute once a Day to change the setup. However, unless the Text is really small, at 1440p it shouldn't be a Problem most of the time anyway.
@@John-lr3ix How about if I was to scale it to 1080p? Would that be a problem with text? I'm currently using a laptop with no display port (that I am going to upgrade in maybe a year).
Is it still good till now?
@@azim1833 yes i still use it
that pseudo vsync may happend coz monitor draws it's picture from the default top to bottom, and prob in that flipped way it gotta w8 till whole picture is done or something like that
Hi can you charge the MacBook when plugging in the type c cable. And if yes, can you close the MacBook but still see things on the monitor while charging? thank you
I'd like to see how you compare these monitors with our latests laptop monitors
Do you restart the pc after flipping the screen? I score a consistent 175ms reaction time test on both flipped and not flipped after restarted. And around 200ms if flip without a restart. And I do notice the forced vsync. I can't find any kind of screen tearing on the monitor, very weird.
I'm not sure
I bought this monitor a few days ago and after a few hours of use in the source change I noticed an annoying halo in the lower left corner. i can't figure out if it is blacklight bleeding or ips glow, should i return it or is the problem common?
Hello, I order Gigabyte M27Q after your review and it just arrived!! However, unlike my expectation, it does not come with the USB C cable :( I'm using MacBook pro so where and what type of USB C - USB C display cable I need to get in order? I understand the normal USB c charging cable won't work but the Belkin thunderbolt 3 cable I have doesn't work with this monitor either. I really appreciate the helps!!!
Chrome doesn't entirely ignore the Windows ClearType setting. It's actually only the UI layer that ignores it, so web page text content is rendered properly.
I increase my system font to 111%. Hard to see the wrong rendering in normal view distance now. I hate chrome and other applications that are half working with clear type. It's annoying
so you buy this monitor but then you have to care about not having blurred text ll the time?
The only place I've ever noticed it is Chrome's UI. But even that is barely noticeable.
@@brentmcanney2868 thank you! Running on Windows / Apple OS is irrelevant?
I don't know about macos, I only use windows.
Will you guys be reviewing the new M27Q-P? Apparently it fixes the BGR issues, but definitely curious to see how else it's improved
Hey Eddie,
We don't have any current plans to buy and review this product.
However, it's on our suggestion list, so if there's enough interest at any point, we'll happily buy and review it!
How do you enable the crosshair? I just picked this up & when I go to select it nothing comes up on the screen
Upgraded to this monitor from an AW2512HF after a GPU upgrade. Highly recommended, particularly for the price!
Currently have the same monitor and was looking to swap them out. So far still good and happy with the change?
@@samuelsexton7858 yup! Still no regrets after 2-ish months.
Thought about this Monitor but with LG27GL83A because of History and Quality..
QUESTION: Can use keyboard and mouse but connect them to the pc via HDMI and NOT USB c?
just wanted to let everyone know in windows the color mode will go from 10bit color at 60hz 120hz to 8 bit color if you use any setting like 144hz, 165hz, 170hz and will really reduce colors and accuracy between programs when i had the monitor at 144hz and up the colors for the same image in different programs was worlds apart
what did you decide to do? I have an asus with the same setup, which is due to the old 1.2 display port limiting the bandwidth. Did you use it with hdr off at high refresh rate, or hdr on at 120Hz?
@@MultiNastyNate no HDR 120 hz for 10bit color, hdr is mostly trash unless you spend thousands
May i use this monitor for graphic design or any kind of design in engineering sector???
Good review.
I'm new to multiple monitor setup and have a question: is it possible to daisy chain this monitor? Using as main input USB-C and Daisy chain between this monitor and another exact model thru the DP? or can it be done thru HDMI?
Edit: If theres any requirements I should know that DaisyChaining requires let me know. I'd like to learn. (I've heard that DP 1.2 (MST) is required but not sure if is possible with USB-C/HDMI as main source from PC to first monitor and then DP between monitors)
I use this as a gaming monitor for my xbox series X, so the BGR panel doesn’t really affect me. For anyone considering this monitor for gaming, I would say it’s perfect
I can only find the m27f where I live. I must ask if the f is pretty much the same as the q only that it's 1080p instead of 1440p

Here I have a question for you all Rtings guys.
Why don't you make a side by side comparison video between 2016 vs 2020 OLED?
It will help many users to upgrade to newer TVs.
Thanks for the suggestion! We don't keep the TVs we buy for reviews that long, but we will keep this idea in mind!
How about Gigabyte releases an RGB panel version of this monitor for console and WFH use? If I'm gaming on a PC I'll want Gsync, the other guys will want Freesync.

How do you like them so far? Are the text issues as bad as people say?
I really like your review, I think it's the most professional.
I just have a problem that has been bothering me. I used your ICC file on my m27q monitor, and your recommended brightness setting is 15. I couldn't find any suggestions for saturation setting, and I couldn't see any details in the dark areas in the picture. The color is too saturated, is there a problem with my setting? Is it because I didn't turn on HDR?
It’s hard to say for sure what the problem is unfortunately. Something to keep in mind is that our icc profile is specific to the unit we purchase so it may not have the same effect on yours.
color accuracy varies from monitor to monior, even if both monitors are the same model. Just like manufacturing a cpu or gpu, you'll never get one that's perfect or the exact same every single time. It's the same for monitors; next to no color profiles that someone has made will work with your monitor, even if it's for your exact monitor
After firmware update F02 off of gigabyte site it will now run 1440/120hz w Xbox Series X.
is the FRC on this display disabled at high framerates? I'm looking to move on from my old TN panel, and one issue in particular I'm hoping to address is the severe color banding in the monitor's 100hz/120hz/144hz modes, as FRC is disabled at these high refresh rates on that model
The only way I got to 10 Bit with it was @60 HZ, everything higher was 8 Bit Dithering !!!

Thx
yes
what if i use the monitor normally for gaming and just turn it around when i need it for work or to read something?
Is normal Type C to Type C cable is enough to connect for display..?? Is there any specific type type C cable..??

Wow. Intense eye contact.
How about, Super Speed ips?
I can't decide
Lenovo G27Q
HP X27Q
or this monitor
Hi, i cant seem to make thb kvm work
This is my entire setup:
My PC is connected via Display Port to the monitor for Display
My laptop is connected via HDMI-1 to the monitor for Display
I have a normal type C cable since my laptop has a type C port. Do I have to connect my Type C from laptop to the type C of the monitor? what does this carry or mean
Questions:
1. What do I need to do to get this working?
2. Do I need to have a corresponding connector from the PC to the monitor to carry the keyboard/mouse signal?
3. I'm under the impression that I need to connect my Keyboard and Mouse to the two USB 3.0 ports in the back of the monitor. Is this correct?
4. What is that port in the left side of the 2 usb 3.0 ports? Is that something that I have to use?
5. This is my first time setting up a KVM and I don;t know how it works. It is my understanding that it allows someone to use the same keyboard and mouse by just 1-2 clicks to use two devices,, and also switch Display view?
Kvm switch very expensive but monitör and kvm switch bundle this monitor, I like it
Does this monitor support 4k downscaling for the PS5? So can i get a 4k output on this monitor with the ps5?
Can smb give me the better settings for lightroom-editing photos (for colour accuracy) because im using the srgb mode and im feeling i can do better
Are you guys going to do a video review of the aw2721d?
If there is enough interest, we will certainly try and fit it into our schedule!
@@RTINGSdotcom Awesome! I know the internet has been extremely excited about the aw2721d. The Reddit post for the review y’all posted exploded too, so the interest is 100% there :)
What if I use dual monitor as well? Can I use both monitors with the keyboard and mouse just installed in M27q?
Yes, but it's not exactly single button seemless when it comes to dual monitor M27Q. You would connect two computers to the "Main" monitor along with the Keyboard and Mouse. Then connect the two computers to the second monitor like normal. You'll just have to press the KVM button on the main monitor then manually change the input of the second monitor. Hope this helps.
great review bro! liked
Thanks for watching :)
Do you think I should purchase this or SAMSUNG ODYSSEY G7 for $180 (£130) more?
Hey Team, does this support 4k Downscaling for the PS5? And does it support the 1080p 120hz on the PS5 too? Thank you for any answers!
Yep everything works perfectly
@@higgs1340 hey , does it support hdmi 2.1 so you can have 120hz and 1080 p on ps5?
@@danielday763 Nope because 1080p@120Hz doesn't require HDMI 2.1. It's only needed for 4K@120Hz. And yes, it works 1080p@120Hz with PS5. It's confirmed on reddit. Btw, if PS5 will get 1440p support, HDMI 2.0 is still enough for 1440p@120Hz.
Any keyboard reviews in the works?
We don't have any ongoing at the moment, but we've ordered a couple and are waiting on them to arrive!
Could you recommend a monitor for PS5, both gaming and watching movies, and that doesn't suffer from backlight bleeding? Thank you
So monitors with HDMI 2.1 support are still new to the market and more and more are being released. If you're not in a rush, you could wait to see as more HDMI 2.1 monitors are released, but here is a custom table tool we made for you to see what we've done so far: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/61137
i think you should kind of screw black uniformity or blacklight bleed for IPS because its almost unavoidable. one reason i dont like my IPS
I had to return mine because of corner brightness, and I think the color vibrance that comes stock is a bit to much
Adam is a king. I will but because of him
Did you only try AMD when you noticed the drop in performance with the monitor flipped? You didn't try an Nvidia card to see if it were and AMD driver issue?
You're right, it isn't clear. We tested on an NVIDIA card (2070 super) and noticed the increased input lag + 'forced' V-Sync. We then also tested and confirmed the same behavior on an AMD card (RX 580).
Got myself one from Best Buy and other than a few small issues its really great value for the price (329 + tax)
My model has noticeable backlight bleed near the bottom left corner but nothing too severe as well as 1 hot pixel newar the lower center right. None of the remedies I've used has fixed it but its very unnoticeable from my preferred viewing distance and only becomes noticeable against dark static backgrounds. I won't be returning this monitor or RMA'ing it since from what I've researched Gigabyte only RMAs monitors with hot pixels if there are more than 3 and I'd rather not exchange the monitor to Best Buy and wait for the next order (this one took about a week and a half to pick up).
Other than that the colors feel really punchy and poppy which I dislike, playing around with color vibrance and gamma settings I haven't found a configuration that I liked yet but I'm still in the process of changing settings. However, in games the image looks amazing, whether it be at 60hz, 144hz or 170hz. Games look fluid and freesync does its job wonderfully and input lag particularly in 60hz titles feels snappy and even lower than my previous 1080p/60hz monitor which had 9.6 ms of latency. While I would've preferred a 24" 1440p high refresh rate monitor, those don't really exist however I'm plenty satisfied with it even with its flaws albeit I could go without.
How about Text reading experience?
Thoughts on the gigabyte m32q ?
Hey, question!
Does the M27Q have built-in speakers? I know it’s a simple question but I’m finding nothing but conflicting answers. The monitor description doesn’t technically state it has any, but numerous reviewers on Amazon make reference toward speakers.
It’s such a tiny problem but I just can’t find an objective answer. The presence of speakers is important for me (just personal preference) to the point I’m torn between the M27Q and the TUF VG27AQ1A.
Thanks to RTINGS and/or anyone who can help!
No, it doesn’t have built in speakers! In the future you can actually find this information in our reviews on our website. Scroll to the bottom of the review and check out the “additional features” section. First one is “speakers” with a yes or no!
Hi, I bought it 10 days ago, in the price range of 400 € it is the best in terms of performance / color coverage / price.
Unfortunately, all this is not free from painful notes. It seems very common on this model the presence of blacklight bleeding + glow decidedly accentuated in the lower left corner, just do an online search, this leads me to think that it is not a coincidence, but is therefore caused by the assembly itself.
My panel is perfect, zero dead pixels, but it has excessive bleeding + glow (orange) in the lower left. Since bleeding is unfortunately a common flaw on ips, and since apparently on this specific model the lower left corner seems to be the weak point, I will definitely keep it.
RTINGS I wanted to ask you, does your model examined for the review also have this sore point in the lower left corner? Thanks.
Gigabyte released M27Q rev 2.0 with RGB sub-pixel layout, would you mind having a look ?
We don't have any current plans to buy and review it, but it's on our suggestion list. So, feel free to go vote for it. If there's enough interest, we'll buy and review it! www.rtings.com/review-pipeline
Would be awesome to see a review of the Asus Tuff VG289Q. It is a very highly rated 4k monitor on Amazon.
If you ever have products you want us to test, head over to our Suggestion page to vote for the products you'd like to see tested! www.rtings.com/monitor/suggestions
@@RTINGSdotcom Thank you for the reply, I will take those actions. Cause people should know all of their budget options. #Budgetlife
Hey RTING, which one would you pick between 27GL850 and M27Q without price issue?
The Gigabyte M27Q is a bit better than the LG 27GL850-B for most uses. You can compare them side-by-side here: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gl850-b-vs-gigabyte-m27q/912/19668?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
@@RTINGSdotcom the only thing that's concerning me is the blurry text as some people reported but again I'm inclined to the M27Q as it as KVM. Thanks team!
which should i buy between this and the dell s2721dgf ? (same price in italy at around 330 euros)
I bought both and ended up with the M27Q. What really killed it for me with the dell was the poor contrast ratio and bad colors our of the box. The dell made it really difficult to see in darker areas of my games. The motion performance was phenomenal but I just struggled to make out details in shadows and low light areas Details really blended together. Poor color calibration out of the box on the DELL too. Whites looked yellow and a lot of others have reported this issue. \
The m27q has much better contrast and slightly worse motion control but in the end I decided to stick with the m27q due to its noticeably superior contrast and really nice colors out of the box. No calibration needed using the SRGB mode and then a modified FPS mode for gaming. (warzone, battlefield, etc). Pixel response/motion is not quite as good though, but at high FPS its still very good. Research the blurry text issue because that turns off some people. its really minor imo and cleartype settings with SRGB mode looks great for text clarity. Overall i'm very happy with the Gigabyte M27Q.
Dell contrast - approx 850:1
M27Q contrast - (almost 1200:1) - I can tell the difference easily
I have a question. Could you setup a multimonitor with the m70q as primary, and g270q as secondary, to avoid the bgr problem, since secondary monitors usually is used to read on?
Your secondary monitor will have the BGR text-layout force applied, because Windows handles multi-monitor setups with mixed pixel-layouts in an improper way.
@@MoroZ4300 thank you so it would be smarter to just get 2 of these instead.
Is the BGR subpixel layout really bad on Mac?
You won't find any problems on Mac, Mac doesn't use rgb or bgr subpixel layout anymore
does is good with PS5 ? is the kvm works with ps5 and laptop ???
Sorry, i dont understand. On their site it says 8 bit. none of the other sites mention 8bit + frc. Is this monitor 8 bit? You're the only one saying it's 8bit+ frc.
and you said that latency increases when you mount it upside down and g-sync doesn't work properly, and i have an idea :D if you haven't tried it, try this: when you mount the monitor upside down, reverse the devices you are measuring🙃
Hi, it the issue fixed that this monitor can‘t display 1440p @120hz on the xbox series x?
I think it’s just a firmware update, there’s some vids online about it
Is the 10bit colors available at 170hz? Because if I remember correctly it only works at lower resolutions.
No. Over DP we tested it up to 120Hz, but it might be possible to go a bit higher with a custom refresh rate. Over HDMI 10 bit is maxed at 60Hz.
Just got myself this monitor and mine DOES have a little orange-tinted glow in the lower-left corner that is only noticeable when the screen is black in that area. Besides that, I am really loving literally everything about this monitor, but I have some thinking to do before my return window closes in 14 days. After insurance it was about $400 and I think for that money I shouldn't have to deal with this issue for a brand new purchase.
Have you updated the software? I read someone having the same issue then updating the software and it went away
I bought the LG27GL83-AB a few months ago but if this was in stock I would've saved the 50$ probably
How is it
@@naderal-otaibi4785 I enjoy it quite a lot, I use it for photo editing and competitive overwatch so I thought it was a nice balance of the two.
Hi can it cooperate with nvidia the same with amd?
Would you recommend this monitor for graphic design? And is it possible to not charge the macbook while connected
Overall, the Gigabyte M27Q is great for content creation (and graphic design). There are some better options though, which you can compare here if you want to see them: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/58841
@@RTINGSdotcom Thankyou so much! I will definitely look at that. Even if my price budget isn't really bigger than 450 euros. But I'll see what I can get ^^
u will review dell U2722D?
I got it Last week such a brilliant monitor Trust me. I will buy my next one next month haha
Ty, I’m hoping to get it too, as I’m getting a pc next week
Where did you buy it from? And how was the quality with black light bleed or quality control.
