THIS MONITOR IS NOT FOR GAMING

THIS MONITOR IS NOT FOR GAMEhdr is not working properly on this monitor and the ghosting is pretty bad. I sent back the first monitor and the second one they sent also has the same problem. So unless I received a defective model twice in the roll, this product is not worth the money

Overview from an engineering point of view

So far I like it very much! I haven't gone through all the settings, but I'm really impressed with all the options Gigabyte has implemented. The image is very sharp and even when outputting to this 1080p monitor there is a noticeable difference. I like the curve too. The mechanism that slides the monitor up and down is also well made and feels solid. Gigabyte also supplied all the cables you could need, including two HDMIs. From my technical point of view, I give this article a 9.5/10. You can…

Very good monitor for gaming or watching movies

I like playing games, watching movies and YouTube videos. The monitor is very fragile and you should be careful. I played csgo and world of warcraft, the monitor suited me.

BEST monitor I have ever used

This is a phenomenal gaming monitor. The picture quality is excellent. The refresh rate is pretty fast and I don't see any difference between 165Hz and 280Hz monitors.

The screen flickers insanely

The screen has a VERY noticeable flicker. So much so that it becomes distracting and all my friends get annoyed with my constant complaining. Otherwise a great monitor, especially with two USB ports on the back. Otherwise I would suggest another monitor if they can't fix the flicker.

Do not buy it best in my review

It doesn't run at 1440 120 fps with the Xbox Series X because it's not a Vesa. 3 months of normal use and failure, I have to pay $100 for shipping because gigabit doesn't cover it, they spent almost a month fixing it, replacing the power board and now the speakers don't work.

Money doesn't get better

Good value for money really. Picture quality isn't the sharpest for watching videos, but it's great for gaming. Overall value for money 1440p 165hz for the price is amazing. I like the curve too

Great monitor, works with G-sync

Great gaming monitor, haven't had any real issues with it in the last 4 months. The dashboard function has never worked (displaying temperature, voltage, etc.) but to be honest I don't care; There are so many other ways to do the same. G-Sync works fine (with RTX 3070). I've played Borderlands 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 through the monitor with no complaints. However, with no issues, I also had no reason to contact support, which seems to be a lot of negative feedback. Maybe…

A good monitor for gaming, for everything else it will do.

This is a good monitor for the price, at 165Hz and 2k. However, there are problems. Firstly there is backlight bleeding and another thing is that the response time is not great as I see motion blur during gameplay. 3.5/5 recommend.

  • Limited adaptive sync capabilities

I like the size and VA but ms seems much slower than 1ms. I get quite a lot of ghosting and green tracing when playing in native mode and had to lower 165Hz to 144 and set the speed setting against balance. It takes forever to fine-tune the colors, it's a very dark starting setting, perhaps a strong OC for what the panel actually supports.

Very good 1440P monitor

I use this G27QC for work and leisure. Works great for both. Now you can play 1440P games. Easily switch between HDMI 1 or 2 with the mini joystick in the back corner (also used for other settings if needed). would recommend.

Strange blurred brush strokes are the best in my rating

I was really looking forward to this monitor as it was my first experience at 1440p until I realized that this monitor smudges so much when anything is moving on the screen at medium to high speeds. The colors are fantastic and the screen is super sharp! You may not be bothered by this halo/blur issue, but it's very noticeable to me.

Best dollar for dollar value.

Incredible value. Excellent picture quality, especially for games. The only downside: The stand adjustment is very limited and the flex can take some getting used to. I highly recommend this monitor.

Beware of ghosts. No 1ms. Not even close.

The monitor industry clearly needs a lawsuit to correct all the confusing claims about response time, color balance, HDR and other buzzwords. This monitor has the worst ghosting I've ever seen and claims a 1ms response time. Just scrolling text makes it smudge across the screen, let alone gaming or watching videos/streams on it. I only bought it as a second monitor and cannot serve that purpose. For reference, I've tweaked each permutation of overdrive, refresh rate, and gsync. Double vision…

Great gaming monitor! Although the only downside in my opinion is that the quality of the display could have been better, it was an overall good monitor which I owned for 3 days until the screen gave me dead pixels lol at least

great monitor except

I like everything about the monitor, but there are a few dead pixels, one right in the middle. so ideally located at the right dead center. This is very annoying.
