What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Great overall, just switching devices sometimes means i have to turn all the other inputs off. Switching is easy with the hdmi options using the little joystick on the back. The good thing is that you can download an osd app from the gigabyte website.... Read More
Build quality is superb also. Fantastic for gamin. This is my first foray into buying a large monitor and i have always used traditionally sized monitors.
This is a decent all-rounder with brilliant image quality and colour representation. Came well packaged. Only major issue is that it makes all other monitors look rubbish.
The g27q is both freesync (amd) and g-sync (n nvidia) compatible. This means that if using an amd or nvidia graphics card these settings can be turned on in their respective graphic card control panels.
Ips panel is insanely quick and is a joy to look at for gaming, productivity and content production. My one gripe is the hdr side of the panel. And come from a va panel to this. Firstly, it's a noncurved ips panel which is rare for this price range.
Cons

Price
I feel this is comfortably the best i have seen, and the best available - not to mention the price is half of what you'd common... Read More
The height is adjustable ( which it wasnt on some of the other curved monitors i looked at) and the price was reasonable.
The next step up is the lg 34gn850 which is double the price.
Packaging/appearance
The only minor niggle is the slightly flimsy on-off-settings button on the back of the screen.
Competitiveness
The included stand has a reasonable amount of adjustment compared to its competitors in the price range which have fixed non ad... Read More
Combine that with a 1440p display and 170hz, this is a fantastic purchase.
Its main competitor would be the samsung odyssey g5 but having tried that, i couldn't tolerate samsung's qa issues and the awfu... Read More
If you have a g-sync nvidia card, make sure to go into the nvidia control panel and enable it.
