GIGABYTE M27Q 27" 165Hz 1440P -KVM Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 SS IPS Display, 0.5ms (MPRT) Response Time, 92% DCI-P3, HDR Ready, FreeSync Premium, 1x Display Port 1.2, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.0

I'm happy! I didn't get a lemon! My own regret is that I have buyer's remorse because everything about 1080 was actually just so optimized, and the picture quality really isn't that much of a difference for me. That's my fault though, not the manufacturer or item's fault.Maybe this might help someone else XD, IN GENERAL, not to dissuade purchase of this product though. I'll list them as POTENTIAL CONs, not actual CONs because these cons are more of my own personal preference rather than product deficits. By all means, this monitor is awesome!The M27Q was purchased @ $330 at the time. I have ***-ed the biggest potential deal breakers in the cons.Pros:+KVM switch+IPS+High refresh+GSync (not confirmed but for some people it has been compatible, me included)+FreeSync compatible.+Reportedly great colors after calibration using Hardware Unboxed's recommendations, but I'll be honest, after utilizing the calibrations, I wasn't ecstatic. I found out that I personally prefer brighter, more vibrant colors than what is considered better color representation.+Personally, my monitor's IPS glow/backlight bleed was great. A bit on the lower left, but not nearly as bad as some of the images I saw on NewEgg.+Amazon service :) I personally accepted a $20.00(compared to NewEgg) difference in deals because of how magnificent Amazon's customer service has been to me in the past despite the failures of a few of their sellers. This particular monitor seems to have a high probability of QA issues, and last thing I want to deal with is NewEgg's service...go read the reviews and stories.+The increased resolution and screen estate is nice for me when viewing multiple stocks/crypto on one screen.Cons:-The biggest con IMO is the quality control issues with this monitor. I lucked out with a gem, but who knows how well this monitor will be performing in a few weeks, months, years? That can be stated of any product, but for this specific monitor, a LARGE percentage of its reviews across NewEgg, Amazon, and BestBuy have issues. This could be due to low sample size, but MUST be considered when purchasing. It is for this reason I prioritized customer service when factoring costs for buying this monitor.***-IPS backlight bleed, but again, this is something to be expected of IPS monitors in this budget range. In my specific case, I'd consider my backlight bleed level to be a Pro rather than a Con.***-Monitor is actually BGR, not RGB. Do some research on this if you don't know what this means. Might matter to you, didn't for me.***-The stand is meh, it's good and stable but doesn't allow rotation to portrait. Doesn't bother me personally because I bought an after market arm, but worth considering. The base of the stand does have a large footprint though.-Lesser compatibility when it comes to gaming and productivity (this one varies). Please read lower for more details related to my specific case scenario. Even tho more games/tech are making 1440p possible, you just can't deny that it's still newer and will require more optimization/availability/accessibility. Esp. with the current scalping issues on the GPUs >=(.Other: My main game is League of Legends. For whatever reason, Riot Games has not implemented a 1440 resolution yet :(. Switching it to fullscreen utilizing the M27Q as a main display is UNPLAYABLE, and bugs out my desktop. Playing it on 1920x1080 on borderless gives me a smaller window than you'd see on a 1920x1080 monitor. For me, 1920x1080 was the PERFECT size/resolution/detail for me to enjoy and play the game while fully appreciating all the details. I can't really do that on the M27Q because I'd either have to switch the M27Q to it's non-native resolution (which can cause compatibility issues) or play with a smaller than desired screen of the game. Granted I COULD get used to it if I played on the M27Q enough, but it's a bit disappointing. Again, if LOL is not your main game, this shouldn't be that much of an issue.Also, while the screen is bigger, the icons are smaller. Nice for larger work space, but worst for smaller icons. You can work around this by changing the sizes of your icons on that display, but it can cause compatibility issues with other devices. It takes away from some of the uniformity if you are going to have some 1920x1080 monitors and the M27Q in a multi-monitor setup. While I haven't run into these issues yet, I have numerous devices that have reported issues with differing resolutions in multi-monitor setups, for example, Huion drawing tablets. While not actual problems, it leaves room for potential frustration/further troubleshooting considerations later on down the road.

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.
