GIGABYTE - 27" IPS LED QHD FreeSync Monitor with KVM (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB) - Black

the Gigabyte M27Q is a very good option for gaming. It has a good refresh rate, good color image quality. Free sync works perfect. the price is excellent for everything the monitor offers, it competes monitors like Dell s2721dhf or LG gn850-B, I can say that the M27Q can be a little better in terms of performance, For gaming I disabled HDR . the configuration I use for the best image quality is in standard: -brightness 50 nits. -Contrast 80. -Gamma 3. -Color Tem User Red 95-Green 98-Blue 100. All other configurations must be in default. I got this information on the web. the ods is ok the materials are plastic the base is metal. What I did not like is that in some areas the text has blur but it can be fixed using the windows option "Clear Type Text Tuner". I recommend this monitor, it is one of the best options that best buy has and in its category it is one of the best.

We purchased this monitor back in late January, and are already having to send it back for RMA. Turned it on one night and there are lines at the bottom of the display. Attempted to update the firmware but it didn't change anything really at all. We originally didn't get the geek squad protection plan, but was able to purchase it late last minute. Instead of using it immediately though, we decided to do an RMA with Gigabyte and we just shipped the monitor to them but it was a whopping $75 to get it shipped from where we are at. Next time I think I will just use the geek squad replacement since the shipping costs more than the protection plan....

I got 3 monitors one of them was bad it has a dark line from top to bottom that appears suddenly at anytime, I thought it was the cables, then the video card, the drivers, when I tried to change it for one that works the 14 days policy from Bestbuy was over. So now I have a monitor that it's not even a month old that has to be fixed, Gigabyte won't change it for a new one I tried to explain Bestbuy the situation, seems like talking to a wall.

I am here to echo the other reviews! Just spend the extra money to get a higher-quality monitor. I bought this and had light leaks almost instantly. It isn't noticeable on day-to-day use, but with games where the screen is darker, it is noticeable. The KVM switch is also finicky- it doesn't always switch when you need- you have to toggle it a few times.

Wife bought this for me from BB, over all it performs great. The only problem was that it had a lot of light bleed, and I mean A LOT. I thought I could ignore it but turns out I couldn’t, I had to return it. If not for the light bleed I would have kept it, it performs well.

First monitor had a pixel die within a week. Going to return and buy another one and hope for the best. Apparently reviews say dead pixels on these seem to happen more often then they should.

Everything about this monitor seems like it'd be the perfect IPS panel for the price. Looks great, stand is nice, super amazing display. 170hz refresh rate is noticeable in games and holds its own against the other LG IPS 2k monitors. BUT, and a big but too.......the panel I waited 5 days for, that I just picked up at a store 10 miles away, came with 3 dead pixels and horrible black light bleed on the left side. It's not the expected IPS glow that most panels have either, literally looks like dark brown haze to the eye. This monitor is now "sold out" and I have no option but to return it. I really liked this monitor, but I only ended up wasting a bunch of time and sadly disappointed. Check the pics, I hovered my cursor over the dead pixels. I originally thought it had 1 bad pixel, but as I started writing this review, I discovered the other 2 near it. Would not be surprised if I find more. Please check other websites that carry this M27Q, I'm not the only one with this issue. Seems quality control is severely lacking. Now I have to go stand in line to return this in the middle of a pandemic, with no option to exchange it for another. What a waste..

I read a lot of the reviews on here that are negative and wanted to give my overall impressions. I realize there may be quality issues with the monitor, but I got a good unit and it works great in my home setup, allowing me to switch seamlessly between my laptop and desktop systems with the KVM switch. The display looks great with relatively minor bleed when showing a full black screen. Overall, the product is what was promised and I hope the people that have quality issues are able to get their units replaced, because the monitor is working great for me!
