Reviewer score 52%The Gigabyte AORUS FI27Q-X is great for consuming multimedia. It has a large 27 inch screen with a 1440p resolution to deliver clear text. The stand offers good ergonomics, allowing you to adjust it easily. Sadly, it's not the best choice for use in dark rooms as it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray.
