The Gigabyte G27QC may lack good viewing angles and decent HDR performance, but its variable refresh rate, fast response time, and dual G-Sync and FreeSync support still make it a great pick for pro gamers.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The Gigabyte G27QC is a mid-tier, curved gaming monitor that was announced in mid-2020. The 27-inch display pledges to deliver a fluid gaming experience thanks to a rapid 1ms response time, and with an Aim Stabilizer that reduces motion blur for better visual clarity, players will be able to stay on target even when playing fast-paced games. The monitor boasts a 165Hz variable refresh rate so users should be able to enjoy tear-free gaming, and unlike the Gigabyte M27Q, it features a curved display to offer a more immersive gaming experience. Make sure you get to the end of this Gigabyte G27QC review for a more incisive look at what the monitor has to offer and also find out if it matches up to some of the best-rated computer monitors in the market.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Gigabyte G27QC is a great gaming monitor for competitive players, with a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and dual G-Sync and FreeSync support. However, it’s not great for HDR and darkroom visibility, and its viewing angles aren’t great for co-op gaming. On the plus side, it’s lightweight at 14.6 pounds, so it’s easy to move around.

Reason to Buy

Dual support for G-Sync and FreeSync compatibility
Variable Refresh Rate and Quick response time make it ideal for gamers
Great color accuracy
Lightweight for good portability

Reason to Avoid

Poor ergonomics
Narrow viewing angles
Mediocre HDR performance
No local dimming feature
