The Gigabyte G27Q is a great budget gaming monitor. It's similar to the Gigabyte G27QC, except it has an IPS panel. This means it has wide viewing angles, but it comes at the cost of its low contrast ratio that makes blacks appear gray when viewed in the dark. It has features most gamers would want in a 144Hz, 1440p monitor, like variable refresh rate support in the form of native FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility. It has a very good response time at its max refresh rate, which results in minimal motion blur, and its input lag is exceptionally low. Unfortunately, it has poor ergonomics, so placing in an ideal viewing position may be difficult.
