Get the Gigabyte G27Q for $260 with code 76TPGLP295 (was $330)
The G27Q ticks a lot of the boxes for anyone with a mid-range of better PC, as it offers an upgraded resolution (1440p) and refresh rate (144Hz) over your bog-standard 1080p 60Hz PC gaming monitor. It also boasts FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility, which eliminates screen tearing and judder without the traditional input lag penalty of normal v-sync on both Nvidia and AMD systems. HDR is also supported, although with a peak brightness of around 500 nits it doesn’t get quite bright enough to make HDR highlights really pop. Still, the option is there which is great. We’ve not tested the G27Q ourself just yet, but based on our experience of similar monitors and critic reviews online, the G27Q offers an extremely similar performance to well-reviewed models like the LG 27GL850 and Dell S2721DGF and uses a similar IPS panel. It gets a bit brighter than the I27GL850, but the LG monitor has marginally better motion handling performance, especially at 60Hz. Critics specifically call out the G27Q’s performance in bright rooms, something that can often be challenging for IPS monitors as they often don’t hit the peak brightness figures of competing panel technologies like VA. So: the Gigabyte G27Q is a highly capable 1440p 144Hz monitor, discounted from $330 to $260 - and at a time when its closest rivals cost anywhere from $320 to $500. It’s one of the best monitor deals we’ve seen for a while, and definitely worth investigating if you’re in the market for a monitor upgrade!
