Gigabyte or MSI monitor?

Posted by Flashy_Fox_9334@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments

I am looking for a 1440p monitor with at least 180HZ in white and have come across two monitors: Gigabyte and MSI. Both share a lot of similarities, the only major difference I'm noticing being that Gigabyte has a slightly better energy rating, and MSI being cheaper (though it is on "sale" so I suppose they would be the same price.)

Are there any glaring differences between the two, or does it just come down to aesthetic preference? Because I do think Gigabyte looks better.....

Anecdotally my 3 year old MSI monitor just died today randomly.

All my LG and Dell monitors are still kicking though.

I’d consider this one as an alternative: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-27-27gs85q-b-2560x1440-ips-180hz-1ms-freesync-widescreen-gaming-monitor-mon-lgc-03333.html

they’re the same in all the ways that matter. the gigabyte has some extra features that probably don’t matter to you, or at least won’t matter enough to justify an £80 price difference. you’d honestly just be paying more for a better looking monitor. also i’m no expert for stuff like this, so if I wanted to compare both of these monitors I would copy and paste their specs into chatgpt and it’ll give you a comprehensive comparison between the two
