GIGABYTE – GS27QA SA – 27″ IPS Gaming Monitor – QHD 2560×1440 – 180Hz – 1ms MPRT – AMD FreeSync – HDMI, DP – Black

Pros: – Stand is as sturdy as those made by Dell.
– 144Hz G-Sync works as advertised.
– HDR works as advertised.
– Excellent colors and brightness. Cons: – Wished bezels were a bit thinner.
– Colors need to be calibrated out of the box. Overall Review: Buy this if you want an excellent quality 1440p high refresh monitor. Great for content consumption, content creation, and gaming. Great all around

Pros: -IPS panel
-Color accurate
-Really good price
-G-Sync compatible
-HDR is ok, it works fine in games but doesn’t work as good in Netflix. Great on Youtube. Cons: -The stand don’t rotate but I personally use an arm.
-The biggest con is the ghosting, I’m coming from an Asus VG248QE 1080p 144Hz TN panel. The color on my old panel are washed out but there’s no ghosting or trail. With the new one it’s a little bit bad. If you play CSGO, R6 or other competitive games, it’s not the best. I have use this monitor for 2 weeks now and it’s a little bit better when you’re adapt to it but it’s not the greatest. The best settings i’ve found is Overdrive at SPEED and FreeSync Premium On so you can activate G-Sync in the Nvidia control panel. I also turned on Low latency in Nvidia control panel. You can try Super Resolution, in some games it can help to see better with high FPS but it’s weird in some vegetation like trees. Overall Review: I’m still keeping it because I don’t think it’s the worst you can have.
It’s at a good price, I see better in 1440p and if I really need the fast pixels response time, I’ll use my Asus. The colors are really great for movies and games and I love HDR.
In the video, the first monitor is the Gigabyte and the second one is The Asus VG248QE.

Pros: 1440p IPS HDR 144HZ Cons: None At the time Overall Review: Its kind of a lengthly review but there are questions people have and i have answers!
This monitor after having it for only a couple days is awesome. I will keep this review updated but as of now this thing is incredible. Lets start off with the big question.
PS5 compatible? Answer is YES! This monitor has a feature that is a built in Downscaler. Which means it will trick the ps5 into thinking its a 4k display then will downscale it to 1440p. I tested out Ratchet & Clank 2016 on the ps5 and it does indeed have the fidelity of 4k and runs at 60fps. Now its says 2160p @ 60Hz which is true because most native 4k games wont run higher than 60fps. So if you are looking for a monitor for the PS5 (which currently at this time Doesnt have 1440p support) this is perfect rather than dropping $350+ on a decent 4k monitor. Now in time if the demand is high enough sony did say that they could add support for 1440p and that it wasnt a hardware problem more as its geared more towards 1080p and 4k tvs
Pc gaming! The jump from 1080p to 1440p is a big one. Coming from a 24 1080p ips panel this is a big change in pixel density and you can see it big time. I have a ryzen 7 3700x and rtx 2070 (non super). Most the game i play are competitive games like warzone, apex, csgo, valorant. (Then other AAA Titles for singleplayer like cyberpunk, upcoming the day before, mass effect legendary edition, halo infinite ect) its is amazing. Now there is a noticable fps difference between 1080p and 1440p if you have settings cranked up. As for me i play mostly low setting with native resolution and i get 140+ in apex, 300+ in valorant and csgo. Now warzone is a different beast. With the DlSS added for higher resolution gamers its wonderful. At 1440p med/low settings with dlss set to quality you get 125-135 fps. (Which is 1080p performance more or less)
Older games such has Halo Master Chief collection run flawless with everything cranked up.
Needless to say that this monitor is the best I have owned. (I have owned multiple 1080p and 2 1440p monitors and this one takes the cake by far)
The adjustable stand is an amazing. One if the best things you could need. No need for a monitor arm if you have the desk room for it. That stand itself is sturdy and doesnt wobble at all. It has a tilt feature aswell i have mine tilted up more and maxed out on the height setting because im tall and it hurts my next to look down. (Im 62 and it sits on a ikea linnmon desk for reference).
Lets talk what comes in the box aswell!
The monitor and base (obviously)
Display port cable
Hdmi cable
Ac power brick and wall plug (comes with US,EU, and Australia wall plug i believe.)
I was very happy they included 3 different wall plugs so if you are looking for a monitor that has them this is the one.
UI for the monitor is great. The button on the back is just one so its confusing at first to know which direction does what but its very user friendly and easy to navigate.
Lets talk panel quality. Its very glare prone because of how the ips panel is. Its almost looks like obsidian (real life obsidian. An extremely dark black gloss) so glare is a big one. That is really the only downside but not really.
If there is ANYTHING else i missed feel free to ask. As i will keep this updated periodically if anything happens by itself ( not if i break it by accident)

Pros: -144hz
-2560×1440
-thin side and top bezels
-sturdy stands
-usb 3.0 2 port hub
-low IPS glow Cons: – strong back light bleed
-optional OSD sidekick software
-IPS glow Overall Review: This monitor is marketed as a “gaming monitor” and rightfully so. fast response times, good darks and lights, high resolution. in a gaming environment this monitor is flawless 10/10 recommend any day.
the problem comes when stepping into a productivity environment. high standards such as its claimed 92% DCI-P3 and HDR400 fall flat when the atrocious backlight bleed from the top of the monitors causes visible color distortions across 50-60% of the top edge of the screen. I purchased 2 of these at the same time and both came with very similar backlight bleed. cant claim to know they all do but my sample size is 2. Noticeable IPS glow when looking for it but not really a problem except in low brightness or color critical applications.
OSD software is more of a gimmick than something of value. the latest version is not compatible with running 2 monitors at the same time while an older version is. the software allows you to change your monitors settings though software and avoid using the hardware joystick on the back of the monitor.
Overall great gaming ONLY monitor. if you plan on only gaming this monitor knocks it out of the park. if you plan on doing light photo editing/color critical work this monitor is probably not for you.
