Gigabyte m27q micro center6/23/2023 How much use you'll get out of these options depends on how much you like to tweak your monitor's settings. More interesting, however, are the monitor's gaming-specific options, which let you set timers, put crosshairs onscreen, equalize black levels and activate "overdrive," which could help fine-tune the screen's refresh rate. ![]() ![]() You can select presets for certain game genres, adjust brightness and contrast, switch inputs and so forth. While it's fair to say that no gaming monitor has a great interface, the Gigabyte M27Q X reaches the soaring heights of "inoffensive." A button on the back of the machine doubles as a control nub, and you can use it to navigate your way through a series of intuitive menus. Gigabyte M27Q X Gaming Monitor review: Interface If you'd rather have fast frame rates than high resolution, the M27Q X might be the right call. We weren't able to get anything in the 200+ region, but we were also testing on a modest gaming rig, and even we got into the mid-100s. As such, even if you have a 4K-capable system, you might consider picking up the M27Q X, dialing down the resolution and upping the frame rate. While many QHD monitors cap out at a 144 Hz refresh rate, the M27Q X goes up to 240 Hz. ![]() It's also worth noting that if you have a powerful system, the M27Q X can make the most of its capabilities. From managing medieval villages to meeting up with online adventurers, the M27Q X looked colorful and crisp. The neon blues and pinks of Night City made the cyberpunk setting feel that much realer, while the harsh reds and browns of a demonic hellscape made a striking contrast against a shiny black shotgun. Across the board, I was impressed with how rich the M27Q X made the colors appear. I tested the Gigabyte M27Q X with a variety of different PC games, including Age of Empires IV, Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy XIV. Gigabyte M27Q X Gaming Monitor review: Performance All of these make the system suitable for QHD gaming, as well as general productivity and multimedia purposes. The bottom line is that the M27Q X has excellent colors, decent color accuracy and pretty good brightness. In terms of brightness, the M27Q X acquitted itself well, coming in ahead of the Razer, although somewhat behind the ViewSonic. Oddly, it had the lowest Delta-E color accuracy at 0.34, as lower values are better. The M27Q X had the richest color spectrum of the three, displaying 173% of the sRGB spectrum.
