Review on πŸ’» Gigabyte G27Q-SA 2560X1440P Monitor with FreeSync, HDR, and Flicker-Free Technology by John Kissamitakis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good monitor with some weaknesses

The nitpicks are mostly minor, some fixable, but for me they add up: * I'm usually happy with the default colors, but here they seem too wrong and I feel like calibration is needed, although I'm not familiar with graphics work . .* For some reason, when connected via the DisplayPort, there are problems with waking up from sleep mode in Windows - sometimes the wallpaper and the start button do not appear for up to half a minute. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the drivers, refresh rate, or the monitor itself, but I don't have these issues with any other 1440p monitor. * The power indicator is very bright and cannot be turned off without turning off the monitor. It's not a problem in a bright room, but it flashes in sleep mode, and it really got on my nerves - I had to turn the monitor off completely every time. it was off, giving off something resembling the squeak of a coil. The same was in sleep mode during the time the LED on the monitor was off. In addition, the PU is external, so it takes up little space on the table. Great that the monitor comes with both DisplayPort and HDMI cables. A USB 3.0 hub is also useful, but more ports should have been added - going from 1 port to 2 was hardly worth it.
