About this deal

By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. If the colour gamut of a screen extends beyond sRGB, as it does here, it imparts extra saturation – providing a vibrant look that some users enjoy, but not providing a faithful or accurate look to things. There’s also a moderate amount of ‘IPS glow’ to contend with, a hazing that brightens up dark shades and is most readily observed towards the bottom corners of the screen from a normal viewing position. They may appear as an interference pattern, mesh or interlaced lines which break up a given shade into a darker and lighter version of what is intended.

The monitor also has a few different Low Blue Light (LBL) settings which are easy to activate and deactivate given the flexible and customisable preset arrangement of the monitor. While it has no official G-SYNC Compatible certification by NVIDIA, there are no issues when using VRR with compatible GeForce GPUs over DisplayPort. We recommend that you check with your local dealers for the specifications and appearance of the products available in your country.So a compact design that allows you to have the screen sitting relatively close to the wall if you wish. Full profiling and appropriate colour management on the application would provide a tighter match, our intention here is to show what can be expected in a non colour-managed environment.

Shades maintained good saturation levels and richness throughout the screen, there weren’t clear losses of saturation as you’d see on VA and moreover TN panels.Similar to what we recorded on the Gigabyte AORUS FI27Q-P with its Innolux panel and a fair bit higher than we recorded on the ViewSonic XG270QG with its LG Display Nano IPS panel. While the Gigabyte M27Q-P can get really bright, it cannot get particularly dim as the minimum brightness sits at around 100-nits, which might be too bright for users who plan on using the monitor in a dark room. The Gigabyte M27Q-P offers an immersive image quality thanks to its 1440p resolution and IPS panel with a wide color gamut, while quick response time and variable refresh rate ensure smooth performance.

The ability to control two PCs connected to the monitor with one keyboard and mouse isn't that common among PC monitors and is almost always found in general use/productivity monitors, rather than gaming ones. Keep in mind that we test all of our monitors fresh out of the box at factory settings, so that doesn't mean there aren't ways to improve the brightness level. The green channel is reduced somewhat and the blue channel is slightly stronger but significantly reduced compared to factory defaults.

But we could still appreciate a bit of an edge compared to some of the weaker IPS-type performers and enjoyed the strong gamma consistency and relatively ‘smooth’ bright shade display. The shades that were supposed to be more muted certainly were, relative to those shades at least, but were more saturated than intended due to the gamut. The main drawback of IPS technology is IPS glow (visible glowing in corners of the screen at certain angles) and the mediocre contrast ratio of 1,000:1, which means that blacks won’t be as deep as that of VA panels with ~3,000:1 contrast ratio.

The Off mode is too slow, while ‘Speed’ is too aggressive as it introduces high levels of overshoot (inverse ghosting). The M27Q's OSD looks just like the one found on all Gigabyte and Aorus monitors with a large rectangular window and four columns making up the menu tree.The image below shows a printed reference sheet of 24 ‘sRGB’ shades, included as part of the Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24 package. Les couleurs des produits peuvent ne pas être parfaitement exacts en raison de variations causées par des variables photographiques ou les paramètres du moniteur et les images présentes sur notre site peuvent varier. Nvidia Control Panel provided a good example of this, on some letters with straight vertical elements. The monitor also offers 95% Adobe RGB coverage, a colour gamut biased towards the green to cyan region of the gamut but similar to sRGB in the red and blue corners of this gamut representation. This title showcased the strong colour consistency of this model well, bringing out an excellent variety of subtly different shades.
