Gigabyte M27Q rev. 1.0: www.rtings.com/afflink/AbQAAE...
The Gigabyte M27Q rev. 2.0 is a budget-friendly gaming monitor. With a 27-inch screen and 1440p resolution, it's mainly focused on gaming as it has a max refresh rate of 170Hz. It also features FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing, and it has other gaming perks like crosshairs and vision modes to give you a competitive advantage. While it's focused on gaming, it also has features for other uses, like a USB-C port and a KVM switch, making it easy to switch between two devices and use the same keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor.

I love this monitor, thanks RTings for recommendation, I bought it 6 months ago 👍
Rev 1 is an 8 bit panel rev 2 is 8 bit+frc
I have version 2 for my Xbox Series X it’s the model I wanted because I thought it was better than version 1. Anyway I am very happy with it.
I had a m27f which is a 1080 version of this. Wasn't impressed, couldn't fix the text clarity issue, but when I hooked up my Chromecast and streamed some anime oh man the colors. I wasn't even looking for that, just the initial impression was good. The m27q 2 is on my shortlist for my next monitor.
Hello, excellent video, I wanted to know what is the best color setting for a video creator?
Thanks for doing this comparison.

Can’t tell too much of a difference with my M27Q rev. 1. I’m glad it’s better despite that and it not being too noticeable.
Can you review the Lg 27gr75q - B?
Do you have the comparison of M27QX REV 1 and REV 2? Would be really interested to know their differences as well

Thanks for the video!! I just bought 2 monitors, the samsung odyssey g5 and this rev 2.0. I wonder which one will be better. VA has better contrast, black and grey uniformity and IPS has better response times, brightness and colours (also viewing angles but I skip that for obvious reasons).

I ordered mine from Amazon about a month ago and thought it was version 1 since the text was blurry and the gaming response time was really good. Turns out I have Version 2 based on the box and the feet on the stand. 🤣 I guess V2 is a big step up from my older 1080P AOC gaming monitor and I couldn't imagine how blurry the text is on V1 if I think its blurry on V2.

You might want to check your ClearType settings, if using Windows. (Others vary - look for "Sub-Pixel AA" or stuff like "state of font rendering on Linux".)

@@whitefish2160 Hey just wondering how happy you are with your M27Q rev 2. I am upgrading from 1080p and have just received my M27Q rev 2 and am unsure wether to return it for a different brand or if it is a huge step up from 1080p anyway and I won't notice the "worse" version

@@theincredibletildo Ive had it a little over a month and decided to keep it. I think I expected more clarity from 1440P text. I wrongly thought it would look like my phone or iPad. It doesn't, but when I reconnected my 1080P monitor the M27Q was definitely better for text clarity. I did do some tweaking in Windows that helped. For gaming its great too. The colors are a ton better than my old 1080P AOC gaming monitor and the 170hz is very fast and crisp. I don't see any ghosting when gaming at all. I am running a 2080TI with it.
i had revision 1 and sold it due to the really bad text clarity
Is there a noticeable difference in the response time? know you said the Rev 1 was faster, but is it even noticeable?

Lol why did they direct you to the forum when they could've just answered it now.
I had bought version 1.0 a week ago in an online store here in Brazil and today version 2.0 arrived for me, I was happy in a way because I thought I had received something better but it seems to me that I am leaving at a loss. I'm still thinking about whether I'm going to return it or keep it, I haven't even opened the box yet.
