I've also tried changing the refresh rate to 100hz and 144hz to see if there would be a difference, it didn't help. I downloaded the monitor driver and display controller from the Viewsonic XG270 software page. Nothing included in any of that helped. I am completely disappointed by the MBR performance on this monitor

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

To solve this problem, I'll wear my prescription sunglasses, but I've discovered the polarity of this monitor is turned in such a way that the sunglasses causes the monitor image to be completely black unless I tilt my head 90 degrees. This makes the monitor completely useless at the start of my work day. Also, as others have mentioned, the out of box color accuracy profile is quite terrible, but fairly easy to solve. All in all, once the color profile is fixed, when I can wear my normal glasses, and I don't see the backbleed 95% of the time, it's a good monitor, but not great / excellent

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...

It's got a one millisecond response time and elite RGB.. I hate this name, the XG271QG. Guys

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

G-sync is pretty awesome, but the difference from a solid smooth 60 fps to 120 fps + was not nearly as revolutionary as everyone on the internet has led me to believe. And I still think a rock solid 60 fps looks fantastic. Anyways, the overall design of this monitor is great, and playing games on it is really enjoyable. But none of it was the revolutionary step forward that I'd never be able to return to 60 fps from, my LG OLED at 4k 60fps is a truly majestic beast, and next year I'll get the newer g-sync compatible LG OLED version and have the BEST OF ALL WORLDS!!! Muahahahahah

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...

I own that monitor and imo it’s the best 1440p I’ve yet tried. I heard it’s discontinued but I still see it in stock. Edit: There’s also ViewSonic XG270QG Elite which I guess is a renewed version. Also why tf is my comment downvoted?
