Gigabyte G27Q 27"

Overview

The Gigabyte G27Q is an excellent pick if you want a fast gaming monitor with great colors and speed while saving some cash. The inexpensive model offers great color quality and responsiveness, although there are some limitations that could be an issue for the meticulous gamers out there. We also like that Gigabyte did not skimp on the essential features of this variant so we know many will love it.

Expert reviews and ratings

The Gigabyte G27Q is great for gaming. It has a high 144Hz refresh rate with both FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility. The response time at its max refresh rate is very good, and it has an exceptionally low input lag. It has wide viewing angles if you want to use it for co-op gaming. Unfortunately, it's not the best for dark room gaming because it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks appear gray.

The Gigabyte G27Q is an affordable 27″ 1440p 144Hz IPS gaming monitor with a wide color gamut, fast pixel response time, and smooth VRR performance.

Overall, this is a pretty comprehensive option. Sure, the panel isn’t quite as fast as I’d like, but it’s a great gaming experience, ticks all the boxes in terms of features, and has an astonishing price to match. For me, this ties the VG271UP as your best options for 1440p 144Hz monitors. Don’t bother spending double to get the FI, when you can get either of these instead.
