Reviewer score 59%The Gigabyte G27Q is great for gaming because it has VRR support, an excellent response time, and exceptionally low input lag. It's good for office use and content creators thanks to its wide viewing angles, high peak brightness, and good reflection handling. The large 27 inch screen offers enough room to open multiple windows side-by-side. However, it has poor ergonomics, making it difficult to place the screen in an ideal position.
