Gigabyte all the way!
||Posted .Owned for 6 months when reviewed.Amazing! I was skeptical on how much more vibrant a IPS monitor would be, but I am very happy with my purchase and cannot recommend this monitor more!

Good if it works
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Bad backlight bleeding
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Overall great features ruined by a bad backlighting. This monitor has great picture quality, input options and response time. However the experience is ruined by severe backlight bleeding in the lower left and right sides. In the picture I'm comparing my much cheaper AOC IPS (right) to the G27Q (left) to show the backlight uniformity difference.

Failed right at 3 months
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.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....

Light Leaks & Janky KVM switch
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

Great performer, horrible light bleed
Posted .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.

Dead Pixel
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.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.

Monitor Review
||Posted .I purchased this monitor based off my friends recommendations and great reviews. I brought it home set it up, then ran a dead pixel test and found 4-5 dead pixels in the middle of the screen, so I went ahead, returned to a store and exchanged it for a new one and that arrived about 6 days later. I set up the replacement monitor and same thing again 3-4 dead pixels in the middle of the screen. So i returned it and went to amazon and bought a LG monitor instead.
