Gigabyte GS27Q X or Gigabyte M27Q X
Posted by ohrobinn@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 14 comments
Hello, my last two parts will be coming Sunday meaning that it’s time for me to choose a monitor to pair with my new pc. I was wondering if I should get a GS27Q X brand new which is about $280, or a used M27Q X for also $280? What do you guys think? Thanks! (Note: These are both 1440p 240hz)

I bought m27qx. But i will return it. Main problem is blacks on IPS (especially in lowly dimmed or completely dark room) and poor viewing angles. You move your head to the right side of the monitor and you start seeing the left side start glowing. Not critical, but I made better experiences with TN gaming monitors from HP, BenQ, etc. - better blacks, better whites, no glow at all from any angle, and TN from the box delivers lowest g2g response time among all panel types (aside from oled). Also, people brag about IPS having rich colors, but I literally had 4 gaming monitors in front of me, 2 IPS and 2 TN from years 2022-2024, and analyzed pixel for pixel every color. The colors were ~100% identical on all, depending which brightness you choose. But personally, i saw IPS as inferior to new TNs and decided that IPS is pure marketing. The only thing id look for is oled if I had the money.

Absolutely the M27Q X. Better panel, better tuning, better stand.

Can you please state what did choose and how pleased are you with it? I am currently debating between these two myself.

I ended up ordering the GS27Q X just because I’m getting it new. I haven’t used it yet but if you have the money for it I would definitely get the M27Q X as it is better.

You mentioned the gs27q and I was asking about the gs27q x. So I was wondering if thats what you meant

Both are great, but new GS27Q X is future-proof and has better warranty
