It's not every day you find a steep discount of up to $100 on a decent gaming monitor. The Gigabyte M27Q2 has a street price of $279.99 but is on sale at Newegg for $179.99, letting you upgrade your gaming experience with 36% in savings. The gaming monitor may not have all the bells and whistles, but it possesses a very convincing set of gaming features.
Outfitted with a 27-inch IPS display with quantum dot backlighting, the M27Q2 features a QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and a 200 Hz refresh rate. There's even an option to overclock the panel to bring the refresh rate up to 210 Hz. The M27Q2 also has a 1 ms (GTG) response time, so it's a pretty nice gaming monitor for fast-paced games. It's also G-Sync compatible, so you'll enjoy all the benefits of Nvidia's technology on a GeForce graphics card.
The M27Q2's other certifications include DisplayHDR 400, with a maximum brightness of 350 nits so that you can enjoy the full HDR experience with your games and movies. The monitor is also rated for 99% DCI-P3 and 150% sRGB coverage, so you can expect rich, vibrant colors from anything you look at.
The M27Q2 also has a built-in KVM switch that lets you control two separate systems with a single input device via a USB Type-C port. So, for example, you can have the gaming monitor connected to your gaming system and a laptop for work. In terms of display outputs, you get access to two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 output.
The M27Q2 certainly hits the sweet spot with the promotional $179 price tag. It's an awesome deal that would elevate any gaming system. However, it wouldn't hurt to make a capable rig if you want to take advantage of the ultra-fast 200 Hz refresh rate. But if you don't, it isn't a deal breaker, either, since at $179, the M27Q2 is a steal.
