GIGABYTE - GS27U - 27" SS IPS Gaming Monitor - UHD 3840x2160-160Hz - 1ms MPRT - AMD FreeSync Premium - HDMI, DP - Black

This is probably the best 4K monitor for the money. It's a great deal at $300, and you get 160Hz refresh rate and 4K. The panel quality is really good, with no dead pixels or uniformity issues. The picture is also really good, with good color reproduction and low light bleed through. It's very similar to the M27U (probably the same panel), but removes the KVM switch, extra ports, and built-in speakers for $150 off. If you don't need those features, this is the monitor to get! Honestly it's an incredible value, and I'm not sure why there aren't more product reviews on this, because it's a great monitor at a great price!

I use a pair of these on my gaming pc and then my mac mini and it works well for both worlds. MacOS is notoriously picky about your ppi density on monitors and these are at 163 which is about as close as you will get to the Apple Studio display density of 202 range without the fuzzy text and images. This is probably more a MacOS thing but using native HDMI on one display and displayport/hdmi over usb c alt mode causes the color to be off between the two that I for the life of me could not calibrate so I ended up just using both in displayport alt mode over usb c. Luckily Gigabyte didn't cheap out on these displays so you can push 4k 160hz over HDMI without problem, not all high refresh rate 4k monitors do this over hdmi. Overall yes the stand is basic and you don't have the usb hub, but for this price being under 300. This monitor is worth it, just stick them on desk arms and you're good to go.

When looking for monitors, I think Asus had one that would do 320 hz at 1080p but 144 at 4K. It seemed like it had to be one or the other and that bugged me. When the computer is off, this monitor has a stupid blinking bright white LED WHICH NOBODY ASKED FOR. There are no buttons except one main one, i think. Besides all that, the price was good, the color out of the box is definitely not right, but man does this beat 60 hz monitors. 4K is gorgeous on this.

First review for some reason. Good monitor, I notice almost no difference in quality compared to the Gigabyte M27U which is $100 more just for speakers, 10-bit color (even though in Nvidia control panel you can make it 10-bit weirdly), and a non-adjustable stand (which I use a monitor arm anyway). If you want a good 4k 160hz IPS gaming monitor this is it, I don't notice any real compromises and for the price of $350 it's worth it if you have the GPU to run it. In ways it's better than the m27u by having a better menu with a better button placement and slightly thinner bezels with a more faded logo. It's also currently on sale of $300 as of reviewing this. Just make sure you double check for dead pixels and any issues, my 1st panel had dirt behind the screen, this 2nd one has a dead sub pixel in the corner that I don't really notice or see unless I put my face an inch away and look for it on purpose in very certain scenarios. My only gripe with going 4k over 1440p is windows 11 scaling is pretty bad, use this at 150% scaling and even then some apps and icons will be blurry. I'd check everything you use to make sure it won't be any kind of issue, that and older games have issues with their UI like Left 4 Dead 2 with it's text chat (there's a mod to mostly fix that).

Great monitor for the money.

Doesn't work with g-sync. I have an Nvidia GPU and get horrible screen tearing and stuttering. Now I have to replace this with an equivalent ASUS TUF monitor which is G-Sync compatible.

So far loving the monitor, the blacks are black and the colors are vibrant. My only complaint is the audio is non existent. Could be a user error, but since I use a headset anyway its not a big deal. Overall a really good monitor for the cost.

Pretty good 4k monitor! Had little to no problems with it so far!
