About this product
The GIGABYTE G27U is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a Super Speed IPS panel. It offers Dual Mode functionality, allowing you to switch between UHD 3840x2160 at 160Hz and FHD at 320Hz. With a 1ms response time, 350 cd/m2 brightness, and 1.07 billion colors, it delivers smooth and vibrant visuals. The 1000:1 contrast ratio provides solid detail, making it suitable for both fast-paced gaming and content creation.
Our take
I've been using the GIGABYTE G27U for a few weeks, and the Dual Mode feature is a standout. In UHD, I get crisp 4K at 160Hz, which is great for immersive single-player games. Flicking to FHD for 320Hz makes competitive shooters incredibly fluid. The IPS colors are vivid, though the 1000:1 contrast ratio means blacks aren't as deep as on VA or OLED panels. At 27 inches, the 4K resolution is sharp. The 1ms response time eliminates ghosting. Overall, it's a versatile monitor that excels in both productivity and gaming. The price of $356.99 feels reasonable for the features offered.
