GIGABYTE M27Q X 27" 240Hz 1440P KVM Gaming Monitor, 2560x1440 SS IPS Display, 1ms ( MPRT ) Response Time, 92% DCI-P3, 1x Display Port 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.0, 1x USB Type-C (M27Q X-SA)

I purchased this monitor a few months ago to replace my aging 25" 1440p IPS panel. My daily use is mostly focused on coding and reading, with about 20% of the time spent on video playback and light gaming.I discovered this model through RTINGS, filtered for QD-OLEDs with the best text clarity. This one stood out with a 7/10 rating at its resolution and pixel density. What really caught my attention, was that this monitor doesn't bombard you with pixel refresh reminders every few hours, unlike so many others.I was concerned after reading numerous reviews about fuzzy text on QD-OLEDs. I was honestly hesitant to even power it on. But after using it extensively, I can confidently say those concerns were overblown, at least in my experience. Text appears crisp and sharp, arguably even better than on my previous IPS display. From a normal viewing distance, text clarity is a complete non-issue. Out of curiosity, I took a macro shot of the pixel structure with my phone. Yes, there’s a faint pink fringe above some letters (I’m using Windows 11 at 125% scaling), but you’d have to press your face against the screen to notice it.I’m not sure if the complaints stem from earlier QD-OLED or WOLED generations, or perhaps from people judging lower-resolution panels. Either way, if you’re worried about text clarity for productivity tasks, don’t be. This monitor delivers.

Two years on and it's still spectacular. Pre-calibration is very accurate, so even if you don't have the tools I do, it's worth it for that alone. After calibration it's immaculate. I can't find a single color or grey imbalance. Covers 99%+ of the SRGB spectrum.1440p resolution at 27in is perfect for gaming, there's no input lag I'm aware of, and the color accuracy is good enough for professional work if you're so inclined.I now own three of these. The first for $329, and the latest for $179. Would recommend it at the higher price point even now. You get what you pay for.

GIGABYTE - AORUS FO27Q3-27" QD OLED Gaming Monitor Review: One of the BEST**Introduction:**I keep the review simple and in laments terms. I try not to get too technical, although I can! My goal is to translate my reviews so anyone looking for a TV or display will know if this is for them or not.**Design:**Describe the monitor's physical appearance. Mention the build quality, bezels, stand, and any unique design features.**Display Quality:**This is a very sleek, QD third generation OLED monitor. If you're looking for vibrancy, brightness, details. Look no further! This monitor will provide you with everything you've come to expect from OLED monitors and then some. I'm a big fan of the thin display design with the components being set to 'boxed' area on the back. I prefer this to a full enclosed body shape so if this is a design you like, it's got it! Check the pictures to see how incredibly thin this monitor is.My only gripe is the bezels are still a little big around the edges. not distracting, doesn't feel cheap but still bigger than I'd like.**Performance:**If you're getting this as a primary gaming monitor. You've landed on it. Price to performance it's incredible. I'd say this is definitely a top tier monitor. It's going to be really hard to find a monitor that looks better than this one. Third gen QD OLED, 'nough said to be honest.**Features:**• Glossy anti-reflective coating --- This is not pure Matte as it says in the Amazon description!!!• QHD 2k• Picture in Picture, Picture By Picture• VESA Certified - HDR 400• VESA Certified - ClearMR 13000• 360Hz• 0.03 ms response time (and yes it's actually extremely responsive, not just advertised as such)• KVM. One for All• OLED Care• 3 year warranty**User Experience:**I absolutely love my LG 39GS95QE because it has awesome brightness and awesome colors. This monitor came out this year just a few months ago.The Aorus monitor has even better colors that pop and seems like even better contrast. It's just a beautiful display that is pure eye candy. The monitor does have a slightly warmer calibration out of the box but it's not noticeable unless you have a pure white background.Inky blacks, amazing contrast ratio, spectacular performance with almost zero latency. I've been saying it but this is pretty much a 27 inch monitor dream. If you've been waiting for the best 1440p monitor to replace your old IPS or LED - you can stop searching.**Value for Money:**Evaluate whether the monitor is worth its price. Consider its performance, features, and how it compares to similar models in its price range.**Pros:*** Inky blacks• Colors pop. Movie watching, gaming is top tier!• Ability to downscale image to 24.5 inches for competitive gaming• high PPI makes things look very crisp• better color accuracy than WOLED• Glossy finish (my personal preference. If you like Matte, sorry not sorry lol)This will probably remain an undisputed champion in the market of 1440p monitors for some time.**Cons:**• If you're looking for 4k, consider 4k options - they will still have better PPI• Color fringing still visible in text. See photos for an example. It's very minor but some may notice.• No options for cool temperature adjustment. If you like a cool color temp instead of warm you won't be able to adjust this.**Conclusion:**The price is fair. The colors and inky blacks will have you feeling like you're in your own personal home theater setup. It's bright and crisp. I had to look for negative things to say about this monitor!**Rating:**5 out 5 stars - without a doubt! The negatives are far outweighed by the positives. I can safely say you won't regret this purchase.
