Alienware AW3418DW vs Gigabyte M27Q

Some takeways about the monitor: black levels are excellent and colors are great. The HDR is passable. However, the response time on this monitor is DEFINITELY noticeably slower than a comparable IPS and EXTREMELY slower than a fast 240hz TN panel. It is very noticeable in first person shooters (Far cry 5, destiny 2, CS GO, overwatch)

GIGABYTE also included USB hub and KVM switch functionality, which since the release of the original M27Q has become a very popular feature among gami...

To replace my 34" UW I was looking at a Samsung G9 49" on sale for $1000. The G9 hands down would have fixed the real estate issue I was having and also provide an insanely fast refresh rate at 240Hz, but would have literally taken every inch width wise of my 48" desk and while QLED is good it simply can't compare to the contrast ratio of OLED. The G9 would have the plus of having an actually stand and it having a curvature, which is probably one of the bigger downsides of the C1. In the end I decided to go C1 since at $1100 on sale it actually would fit slightly better on my desk but also give me a massive jump in contrast

I have been looking to purchase a 27" 1440p monitor for both gaming and working to pair with 3060ti. I was about to get Gigabyte M27Q due its KVM (both for gaming rig and work laptop) and rtings score but i just Heard the way It deals with rbg or something so It is not suitable for work due blurriness with letters, is that terrible? Should i maybe look for the LG 850 model recommended here?

Now. The second thing that made the most difference to me coming from 60 Hertz 1080p, was in fact not the frame rate, but the resolution I can definit...

The last time we took a standalone look at the 1440p market was in july of 2021 and it's fair to say a few. Things have changed since then in terms of...

When I changed the refresh rate from 120 Hz to 100 Hz, everything began displaying clearly, and looked great. However, games still look fine using 120 Hz.

I have the AW3418DW and like the look of the LG but the lack of a dead-pixel guarantee scares the bejeesus out of me.

$360 is a very enticing price point, putting the M27Q up against popular products like the ViewSonic VX27582KPMHD and Pixio PX277 Prime, although both...

sRGB displays should target 100% sRGB. P3 displays should target 100% D65-P3 (I know this is expensive, and today's Quantum-Dot and Nanocell options at 95-98% are excellent budget alternatives for the time being), with a 100% sRGB mode available and, most importantly, the ability to auto-switch between the two modes based on what Windows HD Color is reporting to the display.

As for color, I kept both monitors at the default color settings out of the box - the Dell had great saturation, possibly oversaturated. The M27Q appears less saturated, and its overall color out of the box appears more neutral, while the Dell appeared warm. Regardless of which you prefer, both monitors' color can be adjusted. However, no amount of calibration can fix the Dell's low contrast ability; the M27Q wipes the floor with the S2721DGF in this respect
