Gigabyte G27Q Review

The Gigabyte G27Q is no match for the Dell S2721DGF since the Dell monitor features a higher 165Hz refresh rate compared to its 144Hz. These attributes make it an ideal option for gaming.

Despite having better reflection handling, the Gigabyte G27Q is not as optimized for gaming as the Gigabyte M27Q is since the latter offers a higher max refresh rate of 170Hz compared to the G27Q’s 144Hz. They both have dual HDMI 2.0 ports, but the G27Q offers a higher color accuracy as proven by its low Delta E score of 0.26 compared to the M27Q’s 0.31.

The Gigabyte G27Q is similar to the Gigabyte G27QC, as they both have a 27-inch screen with a 1440p screen resolution and support for HDR content. While the G27Q offers wider viewing angles and a better color gamut for SDR content (99.5% coverage of the sRGB color space), the G27QC has a higher contrast ratio of 3885:1 for dark room viewing compared to the G27Q’s 1096:1, and a higher 160Hz max refresh rate for smoother screen transitions compared to the G27Q’s 144Hz.

The Gigabyte G27Q is a slightly better option than the LG 27GL850-B since it offers better reflection handling and renders HDR content well thanks to a DisplayHDR 400 standard and a peak brightness level of 515 nits compared to the LG monitor’s 396 nits. Still, the LG has a slightly faster 7.8ms response time compared to the G27Q’s 8.1ms, but both are great picks for gaming.
