The media could not be loaded. You want a good 1440p monitor? 2021 edition So I have been doing research for about 3 days and it was so overwhelming at first. I literally was losing my mind and going cross-eyed, every monitor has bad reviews it seems, when I finally felt I had found the one it was back to the drawing board. My goal 27inch (ish) and 1440p (because at 27inch 1440p is basically as tight as you can get pixel wise). 4k is overkill at this size and will ruin your fps in games. You are welcome. After doing tons of comparisons I narrowed it down to 5 monitors, 2 of which had to go. Here we go. 1. Gigabyte M27Q - IPS Panel This was chosen because of its awesome specs, ratings, contrast, response, you name it, this checked all the boxes and hit 165hz at $300 dollars, I was like ok this one is definitely on the list, but it has one drawback which is mentioned in all reviews its a BGR panel, burn that one to your brain. Instead of standard RGB, no biggie right? Apparently it messes with fonts and how they look and all you gotta do is swap cleartype over via tuning. Well I did that, it helps, but it is so freaking bad it ruined the monitor. I dont know how these review sites can just say its really not that bad, its awful, even during gaming you can see this weird 3d glasses old school blue red to the side of pixels. I dont understand why they did that and why review companies would be ok with this. I boxed it up within an hour of testing, it was making my eyes freaking water it was so bad. How can people live with that? 2. Gigabyte AORUS FI27Q-X -- $699 This was going to be the higher end choice, again ips. Due to it being BGR and me seeing the m27Q I stayed very far away. So thats a no, x'd right off the list. 3. Asus XG27AQ (this monitor) - $499 IPS panel, this monitor hits all the checkboxes, smooth, fast, great color out of the box, semi decent price, good stand, rgb lighting on the back, low ips glow, good contrast, the border around the monitor is good, its flat, 27inch, 1440p 170hz refresh rate. Quality control is good, menu is good, simple and easy. Im happy with it, it also beats all my previous gaming monitors ive ever tested and its top rating on rtings, and I can see why. This thing nails it, gaming is crisp, responsive, no ghosting, smearing or trails, colors pop and hit just right, off angles are great as well. This is why I kept this monitor. 4. MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD -- IPS 165HZ $449 price, this monitor gets great reviews, posts essentially better specs and contrast than the XG27AQ (which btw is the best 2k monitor asus offers right now). The only thing I see about that one is there is hit and miss in reviews on getting bad panels, with the asus group they just dont have that issue, as well color out of the box not the best but can be made better than the XG27AQ, it also can do better hdr content and overall maybe the better monitor in the entire list of all IPS panels at 2k. Check the reviews on amazon its high rated for sure, but msi is just known for some quality issues and grey uniformity on rtings does show its better so Id say the quality of the panel is less (more dirty) but it does win on performance. 5. The samsung g7, its a va panel 240hz, its $699 so its top budget pricing and it apparently smokes. The only downside is the curve and its a curvy thing. As well the off angles arent that great (maybe why its curved). Some state it has dark vingetting in the corners, but all corners can be weird. Either way its a panel to highly consider especially if you got the budget and the power to push new titles to 240fps, RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 or way lowered quality settings will get you there. Either way the g7 is definitely ready for a power house graphics card, RTX 4090ti in the future might get it there. So overall run down here. These are my suggested top 3 monitors to look at. Asus XG27AQ - great panel, price, performance, colors, quality control, less fuss, just buy and be happy. MSI - also great, slightly better price, might come out with a winner might not, has better specs and contrast and such over the asus. Samsung G7 - Darks are great, contrast blows these two away, curved if you like that go for it, there is also a 32inch model. These are the kings right now, until for whatever reason oled gets it butt in gear and starts producing high refresh rate oled panels in 27-32 inch. Also if you want a good monitor $299, I would go with the gigabyte g27q, that one is a RGB panel, 144hz its not as good as the m27q, but the m27Q is useless like I said due to the image text clarity issues that make you go blind. Cons of this monitor: there are two. One this monitor qc can vary. Aka dirty panels. There maybe some yellowing on some panels on a white screen. You'll see a variation or blotch of yellow very slightly almost hard to see but it's there. You'll only notice on a white white screen. You may have to do a return once or twice to get a good one. I bought 4 got 1 really good one. 2 decent. 1 kinda not so great. 2. This one is hard for some to see. When you scroll on a white page with black text and the color of the screen is warm or windows has turned on night light mode the words can kinda trail or ghost in red. I've never seen this before. Turning off night mode makes it go away. It could be a windows thing or a warm color issue. Thats it folks! Hope this review helped I tried to make it as simple as possible and dont want you people to have to deal with cutting through so many reviews just to get it down to that. Definitely look at the rtings website and forget what they suggest just use their table tool and play with that to see whats at the top you can even narrow it down to resolution and such. Until then this monitor gets all 5 stars from me, in reality its maybe more like all 4.5 stars, but since no other monitor is really out there that blows it away, maybe a flat G7 samsung panel or oled panel soon, either way im glad I got this monitor otherwise I would return it and it beat all my old gaming panels (144hz as well) aoc, benq monitors. Also stay away from tn panels, those are crap and they dont even rank anymore in gaming, ips has taken its place, va is still iffy and not many panels yet, but they could do better soon. ... show more

    • Fast, all-around and pricey monitor
Style: 27" Fast IPS 360Hz QHD G-SYNC Pattern: Monitor

TL;DR Very good but pricey monitor for competitive gamers and those who need to do productivity work. PG27AQN is a good all-around monitor. It has a very fast 360Hz IPS panel that can also be used for productivity work. I came from a fast 144Hz ultra-wide and a 240Hz 16:9 IPS. The 360Hz is noticeably smoother, but the difference isn't as huge as I expected. This monitor came with a factory calibration report, so the color accuracy should be excellent. I used the Reflex Analyzer and the display + PC latency is very low. This monitor also came with ULMB2 support that provides excellent motion clarity when you use a fixed refresh rate at 360Hz. This IPS panel is very bright, so it will provide more headroom when you enable ULMB2 which will significantly dim your display. With that being said, this monitor is still very pricey at $900 during Black Friday. It also doesn't come with DP2.1 or HDMI 2.1. Therefore, if you want to use 10-bit or 360Hz, you have to enable DSC which can sometimes result in loss of details. This is a limitation of the G-Sync module, and I hope ASUS can just abandon it or demand NVIDIA to upgrade their G-Sync module instead of putting ancient ports on a flagship monitor in 2023. This monitor is DisplayHDR 600 certified, but it's not really HDR-capable. This monitor uses edge-lit zone diming which does not really provide the necessary contrast and local dimming required for true HDR gaming. If you don't need to do productivity work or don't play multi-player, competitive FPS games, you should look for PG27AQDM instead; the WOLED monitor provides a much better color, contrast and HDR capabilities but is slightly worse in terms of motion clarity and much worse text clarity. ... show more

    • Great for Xbox Series S/X and PC Gaming
Style: 27" Fast IPS 170Hz Pattern: Floral
Main Review: I'm primarily a PC gamer but I liked the idea of having a Xbox Series X connected to the same monitor as a companion piece for original Xbox games, 360 games, multi-plats and games that I don't need a lot of horsepower for. My current monitor is an Asus PG279Q which served me well for many years but is HDMI 1.4 which caps out at 1440p/60hz. With the Xbox Series S and X supporting 120hz over HDMI, I decided it was time to look into a new monitor that supported HDMI 2.0. After doing a little research, I decided on going with the XG27AQ since it seemed to be basically an upgraded model of my previous monitor. It supports 1440p at 120h and has VRR, HDR and low latency modes. All of which the Xbox Series X can support. So far, so good. Picture wise, it's very similar to the PG279 but the colors do seem to pop a bit more. The blacks are black and the picture uniformity is very good. I also have no dead pixels out of the box. Build wise, this is a great monitor. I was a little worried that the stand was going to take up too much room or be awkward but it's great. Hefty, sturdy and while a little oddly shaped looks really nice on my desk. The monitor overall looks and feels high end, is well made and has a lot of attention to detail. I will note that the bezel is more grey than black but I think it looks nice and blends in well with my other components. As for the Xbox Series X, it instantly detected that my monitor supported VRR and low latency modes and asked to enable them. I noticed that it said HDR wasn't supported for gaming however. I had to go into the Xbox settings and enable the YCbCr mode and then it detected HDR. One interesting thing to note is that you have a few options for display. You can run the Xbox in 4K and 60hz and even though the monitor is 1440p, it accepts the signal and will allow you to run it this way. It simply downscales to 1440p and looks fine. You can also set it to 1440p and 60hz or what we are here for, 120hz. I saw a few people mention that HDR is locked to 4K but this is not the case. I was able to set it to 1440p, 120hz and was able to get HDR. I tested Assassin's Creed Valhalla which runs at 60fps and everything ran and looked great with HDR enabled. Speaking of HDR, since this is only HDR400, it's not going to blow anyone away or look as good as a high end TV, I was honestly pretty impressed. The HDR is fairly bright and noticeably made Valhalla look rich and have more detail in the lighting and looked preferable to having it off. HDR on Windows is a bit of another story. There's really no reason to run HDR on a desktop. You need apps, games or movies to take advantage of HDR, otherwise it's kinda pointless. I recommend keeping it off for normal use and then you can enable it in-game if a game supports it. And finally, a few minor nitpicks to point out: - I do wish Asus would give a single button to change inputs. If you want to change inputs, you have to go into the monitor menu and fiddle through several sections. One good thing is unlike my previous monitor, it will automatically detect the input. So if I'm playing the Xbox and I power the system off, it will switch back to DisplayPort for my PC if you wait several seconds. I just wish there was a single button on the back of the monitor to switch inputs. Especially since you have 2 HDMI ports and DisplayPort. It's not a huge hassle and it's certainly better than my previous monitor but still more cumbersome than it needs to be. - The inputs are a tight fit. There is a lip on the back of the monitor under the inputs and if you have a HDMI or DisplayPort cable that has a big connector, you might struggle to get it to fit. Thankfully, Asus does include cables but if you are using your own and they are oddly shaped, you might have some trouble. I'm super happy with my purchase so far. If you are looking for a new 1440p 120hz monitor for your Xbox Series S or X, I would certainly add this to your list of options. Or, if you want a great gaming monitor for PC and want to upgrade from the classic PG279, it's a worthy successor. Xbox Update: If you are buying this specifically for the Xbox, there are a few updates and things to note. The Xbox Series S/X both output natively at 1440p so everything looks sharp and great on the monitor. Also, despite being a 1440p monitor, it accepts a 4K/60hz signal so technically, you select 4K as your resolution on the Xbox and it will simply downscale to 1440p. One issue however is 120fps and HDR. For 120fps to work, you have to uncheck the "Allow 4K" box in the Xbox settings. All of the games I have tested that have a 120fps option assume you are playing on a 4K TV so it sends a 4K/120fps signal. Since this is a 1440p monitor and can't accept a 4K/120hz signal (This would require HDMI 2.1), it will convert it to 4K/60hz which the monitor can accept. In order to get 120fps, you have to disable the "Allow 4K" box in your Xbox settings. This will then force 1440p/120fps. One issue with this is that Microsoft for some reason doesn't allow HDR in any resolution but 4K. If you uncheck "Allow 4K", you lose HDR. So in closing, it's not perfect but it's mostly a Microsoft issue. 1440p support is there but it does seem kind of an afterthought. What will have to happen is more games natively support 1440p/120fps instead of sending a 4K/120fps signal and Microsoft needs to allow HDR at other resolutions in a hopeful firmware update. ... show more
