GIGABYTE G27QC 27 165Hz 1440P Curved Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 VA 1500R Display, 1ms (MPRT) Response Time, 92% DCI-P3, HDR Ready, FreeSync Premium, 1x Display Port 1.4

Great picture quality. However, randomly goes black reporting no input. Same for all DVI/HDMI ports. Power cycling helps, sometimes not. Judging by other comments, this is not an infrequent occurrence.

I got this for $100 off (280$) during black friday-cyber monday deals. I was kind of sad because the stand doesnt allow a lot of adjustment like my old one did, but not a big problem. Also, I had a 32 inch before, so going down to 27 was a slight mistake because it feels a bit less immersive as I was used to bigger. I had a curved 120hz before. upgraded to this and I can feel and see the difference in the FPS game Valorant. I was planning this monitor for a new pc build with the 6800xt and 5900 ryzen processor but so far on my budget 1920 x 1080 pc I can still see the upgrade. Which of course this makes sense, my old one had lower refresh rate and was 1920 x 1080.

This monitor looks like it should cost much more than it does, and it is very responsive for both gaming and IT remote work tasks(remote desktop connections have never looked sharper!). My main issue was the time it took to find or calibrate a custom vibrant color mode that didnt oversaturate reds to the point of looking pink, though, the default mode or other presets should be sufficient for most people. It has enough ports (I connect one macbook pro over hdmi @60HZ and one PC with Display Port @ 65HZ), and color customization options such as the black equalizer allow very fine control over the brightness and overall picture quality. The stand is sturdy enough compared to some other budget displays I own from Sceptre and WD. There havent been any dead pixels in the month Ive had it, and the 1440p resolution on a 27 inch monitor is slowly becoming my preferred desktop resolution. Overall its a 9/10 display that is more than capable of displaying high-quality, high-FPS content, with good brightness, all at an affordable price.

I waited a couple of months before reviewing. Ive been very pleased with this monitor. Brightness is good, black is decent, response time good. Very good quality gaming monitor for the price. Will be buying a couple more.

Beautiful monitor, small for a gaming monitor but a huge upgrade from my laptop. Used with a custom pc build. Very happy with it so far (~1 month).

Pros: its cheap, it has good visual clarity, minimal amount of ghosting once you turn off overdrive, and just enough curve to be helpful. Cons: HDR. The HDR ready rating is laughable. The display cant put out near enough brightness to actually support hdr. However, this monitor is still worth it at this price point.

Excellent Gaming monitor for the price! Looks just as good as the more expensive monitor.

the monitor is decent but im having some trouble with getting good settings for the monitor. the freesync flickers a lot, the monitor sometimes bugs out and it resets. the va panel response time is really not that good and the input lag is noticeable for me coming from a 1080p 75hz 1ms TN panel. overall not pleased with this monitor, but i threw the box away so i think im stuck with it.

My son plays game on this monitor. He is happy.

My bad for not knowing what a VA monitor was before getting this. Ghosting is atrocious on this thing, no amount of setting customization will fix that. Ended up buying a TN for half the price and it has stayed with me since. Dont ever buy a VA if you plan to view anything with quick camera movements.
