The BGR subpixel layout isn't an issue in apps that support ClearType, but many apps don't, and text clarity is an issue in those apps. Update : We decreased the text clarity score from 7.5 to 7.0. Our Gigabyte M27Q 27" gaming monitor was manufactured in August 2020 you can see the label here. Note that some tests, like gray uniformity, may vary between individual units. If someone comes across a different type of panel or their Gigabyte M27Q doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we'll update the review. There's also a follow-up model to this, known as the Gigabyte M27Q X, which performs better overall and has a higher max refresh rate. However, this can also vary between regions. 2.0 appears to be the same monitor, and most of the results are valid for it, it likely uses an RGB subpixel layout, as confirmed by a Gigabyte rep on Reddit, which you can see here.
On Gigabyte's website, there are two versions of this monitor, Rev. It's the same monitor, but with the new energy efficiency labels. Some European retailers also carry an M27Q-EK or M27Q-EEK variant. There are many monitors in Gigabyte's non-Aorus lineup you can see some of them in the table below. We tested the Gigabyte M27Q 27" gaming monitor, and it's the only size available. We've retested the monitor to further investigate the BGR sub-pixel layout's effect on text clarity. We tested text clarity with a MacBook running on Big Sur. We decreased the text clarity score from 7.5 to 7.0, as the BGR subpixel layout can be an issue for some users. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog.Ĭhecked the BFI range and checked a motion issue. Updated to Test Bench 1.2, resulting in changes to the results and scores with the Response Time and Input Lag. We tested the monitor with the PS5's new variable refresh rate feature and confirmed that it's not compatible, since the PS5 only supports HDMI Forum VRR. We added a few relevant comparisons to this review. We bought and tested the HP X27q, which is a similar budget gaming monitor.
2.0 variant likely uses an RGB subpixel layout.Ĭlarified that there are different versions for it in the Variants section and specified that the review is valid for all versions. Added in the Variants and Text Clarity sections that the Rev.
