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

Bought this new monitor to replace my old 1080p panel, picture quality is great, contrast as also great. Only downside is the 1 dead pixel it came with at the top right corner but its bearly noticeable, and the ghosting which is expected from VA panels. Overall though Im very pleased.

So far I’m really loving it! I haven’t gone through all of the settings, but I’m really impressed with all of the options Gigabyte has implemented. The picture is very crisp, and there is a noticeable difference even when you’re outputting 1080p to this monitor. Love the curve as well. The mechanism which allows the monitor to slide up and down is also well done, feels sturdy. Gigabyte also supplied all of the cords you could ever need, including two HDMIs. From my engineering standpoint, I give this item 9.5/10. You can tell they had an intense attention to detail and craftsmanship. Only thing I noticed that I didn’t like, was that when the screen is black, some parts of the screen are brighter than others, but it’s not noticeable in any other situation. Overall great product for the price.

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.

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

The backlight bleed is too bad for a monitor of this price and a VA panel. It looks like a Batman symbol because there is so much bleed. It’s also not flicker free. In menus running at 60hz there is a definite flicker which was solved by upping menu FPS to 120. Its great in game of you can keep your frame rates at 140-165 but on the highest boost the error rate is very high if the rates drop into the 120 or lower.

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

I was so hesitant on buying monitors. After upgrading my GPU to a 2070 Super, I figured it was time to pull the trigger on a 1440p monitor. After doing countless hours of research and price matching I came across this. I ended up buying the monitor and it is probably my favorite purchase this year. Between the picture quality and how games look on this...its absolutely amazing. My only problem with the monitor is the little bit of bleed you get at black screens or transitions. I dont really mess with monitor settings and Im sure there is a sweet spot to get it to go away but I feel like I tried my best but it still remains. Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend!

White light flickers very bright when off

The monitor industry clearly needs some legal action to straighten out all the muddled claims of response time, color balance, hdr, and other buzz words. This monitor has the worst ghosting I have ever seen and claims a 1ms response time. Just scrolling through text smears it across the screen let alone gaming or viewing videos/streams on it. I only bought it to serve as a second monitor and it cant even serve that purpose. For reference, Ive tweaked every permutation of its overdrive, refresh rate and gsync on off. The ghosting changes but is absolutely terrible even at its best. This monitor is good at once thing. Stationary images. The color is pretty good as long as nothing is moving.

the good- very clear image, the colors are so good and dont have color bleed, very bright, fix some image details and voila, basically as it comes from the factory it is almost perfect, I am using it for a xbox one x in 1440p 120hz and in a pc 1440p 165hz gtx1070.
