Not buying next gen for now, maybe next year but might still prefer gaming on a monitor instead of a tv so going for this 1440p monitor istead of 4k to hit that sweet spot of quality and fps performance. What do you think? I currently have the Xbox One X.
@@suneetmehta871 As far as TV vs monitor...really depends on your setup and also the types of games you play. I prefer to play shooters on a monitor but I like playing RPGs on my TV for a more relaxed experience :)
@@ChringyTechTalk ive got the new xbox and am running it on a Samsung 4K monitor its only 60hz but if I buy this monitor would it make my game clearer cheers
@@munnaz9824 You'd get a higher fps due to the refresh rate but technically speaking to resolution would be lower because it's 1440p and not 4k. However, the difference isn't huge.
@@munnaz9824 only if it had a hdmi 2.1 port but I don't think any have been released yet. If you want 4k then you're best getting a 4k TV but a 4k TV with a 2.1 port will set you back a fair amount at the moment.
Hey man! I just ordered my gigabyte from Amazon, and thank you! You answered all the questions I had for the Xbox series x and more! Super happy with my decision, especially after watching your vid.
I came to this video after been a couple days looking information for a good monitor to play with an xbox series X in 1440p 120hz. Thanks to you i bought a Gigabyte G27QC Just plugged in my xbox series X with autodetection enable and select 1440p and 120hz and it works properly, i didn't change anything on settings. You have a new sub, thank you very much.
been trying to find the best 1440p, 120hz monitor for under 400 for a week now, gone through like 20 monitors, this one looks great, perfect for my series X. Thanks!
The first video that actually broke everything down! I have a 1080p 144Hz Monitor already, I’ll wait till next year to grab a 4K HDMI 2.1 144Hz monitor so I can have all the boxes checked.
Thank you for making this video man. This is the exact monitor that I've been looking at and debating on getting for a while because I plan on upgrading to the series X soon. Much love and keep up the good work I subscribed
I've been up for the last three nights swimming in a sea of gaming monitor choices 🤔🤔🤔. Found this gem. At the right price. I was so nervous it wasn't going to sync up correctly With my Series X, which i accidentally bought on StockX. Figure i might as well have more than a 720 monitor to go with it. Thanks for the confirmation on this. I'm pretty excited for this with Halo
Thank you so much for your video. I’m using the M32QC which is pretty much similar with G32qc. I’m experiencing the black screen right now and idk why I can choose the 4K options on Xbox. Great great video!
I don’t usually comment on these things but I love your videos. Was in the market for a monitor and you convinced me to buy the gigabyte. Keep up the content, you’re killing it
I have the G27QC-A from bestbuy I get 1440p 120hz VRR HDR and HDR10 all checked with or without 4k selected on my Xbox Series S. I was gonna send this monitor back and get the Dell S2721DGF but changed my mind I like this monitor.
Just done the same. Seems with 4K off and HDR on is a good medium. Massive boost in FPS with good resolution. Then just play shooters at 1440p without HDR. Good monitor. I'm loving it
@@wolfgangshmit7333 I ended up sending it back because of ghosting and text look shit...bought the Dell s2721dgf...hdr and contrast not as good but happy with color and speed of the Dell.
Crazy seeing an older, yet familiar face giving me tech advice on youtube. To think I used to party with this guy and his now wifey pants (congrats btw) roughly 14 years ago. Chris, its JP from the days out "WEST"! Almost didn't recognize you with the manly beard but that voice sounded awfully familiar from the get go. Thanks for the monitor recommendation! I've been looking up different monitors for the last 48 hours since I picked up my Series S and been STRUGGLING to keep my options capable and under $450. Actually went with the same model just a different variant (Gigabyte M27Q 27) with a built in KVM switch to let me swap inputs between my work laptop and Series S without additional cables and plugs! Should help keep my office setup pretty clean and tidy! Gaming on a budget is how I'm living these days, so you earned a sub! Be well and keep up the good work! Little advice; specify those HDMI 2.0 inputs; without em, you won't get above 60hz on either console through HDMI WITH 1440p resolution. I only say that cause not all the listings on Amazon specify this and it was kind of a pain to figure that out. I'm also still green on all the next gen tech specifics, so if this is sorta common knowledge for most, then disregard my minor criticism. Other than that, I like the videos and check youtube daily so keep em coming. Also gonna check out that headset you recommend cause my current TB stealth 700's are CRAYAP!
WOW! JP! Challenge!? Ha. Used to go head to head with this guy in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Halo. Good times ha. On the Gigabyte M27Q, just be sure to update the firmware and you should be good to go for 1440P 120Hz. Originally it didn't work but they updated the firmware to get it working. Yeah man! Good call outs on the advice. I guess I assumed too much in saying that it wasn't HDMI 2.1 (meaning, it's obviously 2.0) but good call for sure. I stated that in my full review but not in the Xbox Only one. More videos definitely coming soon! I had a crazy past 2 months with work, family, Covid, and crap. Hit me up on facebook!
@@ChringyTechTalk yeah I realized that AFTER I watched the full review. But at that point, I had so many tabs open looking at various monitors and was just like "the hell is my comment?" Lol I hear ya man, COVID is definitely messing with everyone this year. Stay safe and healthy! Get back to us when things calm down. Good luck buddy!
Thanks, man this is first video I get to watch that explains the hdr situation on my monitor asus vg32vq. Hopefully it gets fixed. By the way another alternative for all the features including vrr and elmb too...
Both the BenQ MEX2710 and EX2510 should work great with the PS5 (I don't have a ps5 to test yet). But here's official BenQ: www.benq.com/en-us/knowledge-center/knowledge/next-gen-console-1080p.html
Great video. Looks like you got a good bunch of people coming to watch your vids but I thought I would let you know to keep it up. Some times people just need a positive message!
Thank you for bringing a very important note on HDR not working on 1440p monitors, that definitely will make me hold until new monitors come into the market.
Hey Chris. I appreciate the insight on getting a better outcome with the x box series x. Everyone has videos pertaining to pc and it was nice to get some tips and direction on the x box side of things. My monitor arrives Friday and I'm super excited to get out of the 60fps world I've been stuck in. Thanks again
Didn’t know about the HDR and 1440p issue. Glad you mentioned it. I have a Pixio 277 just got it for cheap until HDMI 2.1 is on monitors and have lowered in price cause I’m sure the first few are gonna be expensive.
I'm using the asus vg32vq1b for the new xbox. After a week of tweakings and frustrations, this is the best settings that I found: Put the resolution to 1440p 120hz with the "Allow 4k" on, VRR on, and hdr off. If you're using hdr, you might see the 120hz active, but it will revert to 60hz when playing an hdr game. I don't mind, since the hdr on that monitor is bad, so it's better to leave it off. If you are using a good soundbar or AV, you can get the same settings as above, but without the VRR, since no AVs support that, unless it's hdmi 2.1.
If you disable "Allow 4K" then you should be able to get 1440p 120hz with VRR even while gaming. I haven't tested this specific monitor though but it sounds like same issue I had with mine which was the monitor using a downscaler to downscale a 4K game to 1440p however that caps the refresh rate at 60hz.
@@ChringyTechTalk well, i do notice the 120fps smoothness with the allow 4k activated, but only if the hdr is off. My asus monitor has a real time fps counter, and I can see the 120fps shown when starting a game and using the 120fps mode with the allow 4k also turned on (I've only tested this with Ori and SW Squadrons). If I activate hdr on top of that, the monitor will show 60 when starting a game. I guess it has to do with the vrr and hdr turned on at the same time, but I haven't tested that, yet. I've seen some videos stating that vrr and hdr are hateful to each other, meaning that hdr will affect or nullify the vrr if the display is not certified with freesync premium pro.
Awesome video! I picked up the g32qc about a month ago. Quick question, for warzone, what are your display settings on the monitor? I've been messing around trying to get the best picture but having some trouble dialing it in. Thanks!
thank you so much bro, very nice video, now im searching budget monitor (1440 144hz) for XBSX and i think this is very good choise. I know that not all (1440 144hz) monitors can do it on XBSX 1440 144hz, they can do only 1080 120hz or 1440 60hz like some LG monitors, now i know that this Gigabyte G32QC can do 1440 144hz.
Hello mate, I just saw your video. Great job. I don't know which monitor to buy m27q or q32qc?I would appricieate your thoughts! Keep up the good work.
Hello! I saw this video in my recomendations and felt like it was a match from heaven, I bought the monitor with the goal set for SS and not SX, but after this video and realizing that i can have 1440p with 120 hz is just amazing Now thanks to you I will upgrade myself from a 720p TV with the first gen Xbox to a 1440p monitor with SX Thank you, and I mean it.
Awesome! Welcome to next gen :)...either should worked. I would use the one from Xbox if you can to guarantee support. I actually personally use a 30ft cable cause my Xbox is under my TV most of the time but I run the cable over to my desk for monitor gaming and testing :)
Hi Chris. I end up getting the G32QC monitor for my PC and have to agree with your feedback on HDR. It's not worth it. Everything else is great about the monitor and I (as a user) recommend it as well. Cheers!
Oh yes I’ve been at RUclips for 3 1/2 years and my friend just starting out don’t give up just keep going do you want to be taken seriously just keep going that’s the advice I was given don’t want anybody tell you you cannot do it do not let anybody tell you you can’t do you tube for positive attitude
Good find. I will caution that a few people have reported issues with the 27 inch not being able to do 1440P at 120hz but others have said it works fine. Might be down to a manufacturer variations of something.. But the 32 inch works great:)
@@ChringyTechTalk how long have you been in the youtube game. I have been on youtube for about 18 months now myself. just reached 1.5k subs and over 600k views total on the channel. its a hard game but stick at it :)

Great video! Very informative. What monitor settings did you change from the default, if it all. Also, did you have problems with the aspect ratio being too big ?
@@crfishing1980 well actually I don't know the price in your country but in France you can get the 27 inched gigabyte with same specs for 272 € it's really cheap almost like a G5
Cheers, really enjoyed the Vid! I have this monitor for my son's birthday for his Xbox X and was a little underwhealmed after testing. Do you think because you cant fully utilise all of its features and compensate on others, it might be worth swapping for a 4k screen? Understandably you would lose the speed/smoothness aspect, but maybe get to appreciate the consoles visuals more by being HDR/4k/VRR compatible? Next gens I feel at present are really not concerened about how they play via monitor and are more comfortable for the basics of a TV. Much love from Wales 👍.
Great video! Do you think the Gigabyte M27Q can support 1440p / 120 Hz on the Xbox Series X? I just got the console but not a monitor. Some people are having problems with some monitors that support 1440p / 120 Hz, but the XSX don't.
From looking at the specs, I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to. Just make sure you disable "Allow 4K" in the Xbox Settings so that the downscaler doesn't force 60hz/4k.
Hey Carlos, I just bought the M27Q and can't seem to get it to 1440p at 120hz and I've tired all the recommended setting and still nothing . So I'm in the process of returning the M27Q and getting the G32QC to test for my self . I wanted a monitor that will work 1440p at 120 on the XBox series X .
Alright got my G32QC today and happy to say it worked with the Xbox series X at 1440 and 120hz! And now time to send back the M27Q tried everything with that monitor and it didn't work .
Mine did come with a dead pixel. I do like it quite a lot other than that. Coming from a 1080p 24-inch TN panel to this 32 inch beast has been a nice experience. I did think it was a bit big at first, but it has definitely grown on me. I tested it briefly with my PS5 and it does indeed downscale the 4k60 signal, but I have yet to try any 120Hz titles on it to see how the monitor handles it.
Is it a dead pixel or a stuck pixel? There's a few test online you can run to unstick a pixel if it's just stuck on a color. Might be worth looking into! Yeah, it's nice :)
@@ChringyTechTalk Definitely seems like a dead pixel since it's a black spot. Almost seems like debris is underneath the screen. There is a stuck pixel on my unit as well, but the online tests didn't fix it when I tried em briefly. I love the monitor regardless since it's so nice compared to my old VG248QE, but I am strongly considering an Amazon return as soon as my local best buy has some in stock that I can buy instead.
Thank you for this video! I've been looking for a compatible monitor for the Xbox series x at 1440p 120hz. Did you have to mess with any settings on the Xbox or did it automatically pick up the 1440p 120hz? I'm also going to sub
There is absolutely no need for an HDR in gaming. You need at least 1000 nits to experience a true HDR. Below 1000 nits is an illusion and it looks worse than SDR.
@@ripp123m it's actually between 400 and 450 according to rtings test. It's HDR400 certified as well so fits within that spec. Very few monitors reach 1000 nits.
Thanks for the video, I still cannot make a decision between this monitor and BenQ EX2780Q. Could you, please, confirm this monitor allows 1440p+120Hz+Freesync (VRR) all at the same time? Do you have any idea if EX2780Q supports all those three things together? Thanks, and great work.
I can confirm personally that this monitor does 1440P+120hz+VRR at same time. I have not tested the EX2780Q though. It's an IPS panel though. I prefer VA panels for the contrast ratios that you can get, especially since I game in a dark room. If I were you, I would look up the differences between IPS and VA to see which you might prefer :). Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@ChringyTechTalk Very kind for your response. Many people are having issues managing to make the console to recognize their monitors with that combo setting (because many monitors won't list resolution and frequency in a proper way that the console recognizes it). It would be nice if you make a video showing how you manage to set it up. Regarding IPS and VA, I've been very tempted to this particular monitor because of its Freesync Premium Pro capability and contrast, but the view angle range and color 'accuracy' leans me towards IPS panels. Again, thank you and gw.
I can do a quick video on it for sure. I'm wrapping up a TV review this evening and then I can make that my next! Regarding viewing angles...since it's a curved screen, you really should just be viewing it straight on regardless. As far as color accuracy, this is sitting next to my calman verified Asus ProArt display which is professionally calibrated and I find the colors look almost identical. Obviously that can vary depending on panel lottery but just my experience. There's definitely pros to IPS panels (I hate IPS glow though and it's super noticable in a dark room to me).
What’s the difference between the gc32qc and the gc27qc? I know that the later has a smaller screen size but is that it? Are the specs at all different? Which would you recommend
I recommend the 32 inch because the extra screen real estate is awesome :). As far as differences, not many that you would notice without in depth testing, but here is what RTINGS said: "The Gigabyte G27QC is the smaller variant of the Gigabyte G32QC. They're very similar, but there are a few differences between them. The G27QC has a higher contrast ratio, better reflection handling, and faster response time at 60Hz. On the other hand, the G32QC gets brighter in HDR and has a Black Frame Insertion feature."
Pleased I found this video. It had been frustrating me that the monitor would black screen and switch to 60fps when launching games. I too had the issue where it sometimes wouldn’t turn back on. I thought it was down to the “allow variable refresh rate option”. Am I right in thinking that I just need to untick “Allow 4K” or do I also need to untick “Allow HDR10”? Overall I think it’s an excellent monitor and would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of getting it. And I agree with you that Microsoft will probably sort this issue out in the near future.
I bought this monitor today from Amazon and I'm excited to try it out on the next generation of consoles - want your opinion on it yet? And did you do an experiment on the Playstation 5 on this screen? Have a good day.
Hi bro, actually PS5 don't support 1440p (2K), it only support 1080p or 2160p(4k) they might update and fix this but at the moment you cannot play at 2K resolution so you will be blocked at 1080p with this monitor
@@Zomdu03 Correct! There are talks that they will add it but currently native 1440P isn't supported. I mentioned that in my full review of the monitor. Thanks for the comment!
Your last video convinced me to pick up this monitor, I’ve been using it since Monday on my standard Xbox one and loving it. Even at native 1080 it’s a major upgrade from my old tv. Now just waiting to get the series X so I can see what it can really do.
Thanks great video just got this tv and turned off HDR as kept getting the black screen for ages when I changed games. Did you change any settings on the actual monitor settings ?? Cheers
Gigabyte fixed the issue. You got to download Gigabyte Sidekick app for your computer. Download the app and update the app. Go back to the Gigabyte M27Q Firmware page. Download the Firmware for the M27Q. I then restarted my computer and ran the the Sidekick app. Went to downloads in the app. I found the firmware and flashed it. Then restarted the monitor and put the Xbox series on. And everything works 1440p 120hz FreeSync and Vvr.
@@ChringyTechTalk I purchased another M27Q Monitor for myself from Bestbuy when they matched Newegg promo price. I never use to game with a monitor or gaming chair. I feel like I'm a reborn gamer playing on a monitor now.
Inform people this 120hz will not work on ps5 i bought this its so sad that its not working i found it on reddit 😢...this video made me bought this monitor...
I specifically tested it on the Xbox Series X (per the title of the video). Sorry I don't have a PS5 yet to test. Have you tried all the settings? Curious why it wouldn't work..sounds like a PS5 issue or settings issue, not the monitor.
Please try these settings and also make sure you are playing a game that actually supports 120hz. Let me know if it works! Settings -> Saved Data and Game/App Settings -> Game Presets. Now, change Performance Mode or Resolution Mode to Performance Mode. Next, you’ll need to enable the 120FPS/Hz mode in the video game settings. Note that only several PS5 games support this mode.
late to the channel. I got an alienware ultrawide 1440p. I was hoping dell had some magic software that would let my monitors display port 120hz OC option to work with its old 1.4 hdmi, high hopes :P. my last tv purchase was in 2013 and Have been wanting a new one but want it to have all the bells and whistles the series x or ps5 can shoot at it so next year maybe LG's or Sony's new hdr oled or mini/micro led. Also I hope they have one thats sub 50".
PS5 is doesn't have 1440p native support so either go with 1080p or 4k monitor or TV save yourself a headache Sony said it will consider adding it if the demand is high enough shit is just dumb why not just support it and call it a day stupid corporations
gj - As a tip from someone who presents for a living. Do not have fizzy drinks 30 mins b4 or during a presentation . It causes alot of reflux and the need to burp - I could see you attempting to prevent it. - otherwise im tempted by this monitor today as its reduced to 299 but comparing to the samsung g7 .... as that's reduced to 499. any thoughts on the comparison between the 2
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely remember that for next time :) ...regarding the G32QC vs the G7 - What is your use case for the monitor? I would say if it is to play consoles then I would go with the G32QC. If it's for both PC and console use and you can swing the extra money, then the G7 is super nice. You'll get 240hz refresh rate, a better stand (if you aren't planning on using a custom VESA mount), faster rise/fall time for blacks, and faster response time overall for motion. Everything else is equivalent though (HDR brightness, input lag, etc). One thing to note, the G7 is a 1000R curved screen so it is more aggressively curved than the 1500R of the G32QC. Some people like that and others hate that much of a curve. Something you just have to see for yourself.
I don't know how much the Monitor cost...But, the 49 inch LG Nano Cell 85 Series is only $499. 4k, 120, Dolby Vision, VRR. So, get the TV dude and put the monitor up on ebay!!!
This monitor was $320 when I picked it up. That's not a bad deal for that TV! I have a 65 inch TCL R635 that I use as my TV! I use the monitor for other things as well (like video editing and work) though.
@@ChringyTechTalk Gotcha! Until HDMI 2.1 comes fully on gaming monitors... A TV like the LG 49 inch Nanos Cell 4k would be the way to go for a budget Series X setup.
I use the samsung chg70 32 inch. It's a curved 1440p 144hz w/freesync 2.0 and hdr. It can do 1440p @ 120hz if I turn off hdr in the series X display menu but it won't do 1440p @120hz with freesync on. Seems to be more of an issue with the monitor than it is with the xbox since you're able to run freesync @1440p/120 on the g32qc. I hope MS adds hdr support for 1440p, the hdr in the chg70 is pretty decent.
Indeed. Have you made sure that freesync is on in the monitor OSD? I would try these steps: 1.) Turn off freesync in xbox 2.) Do a full shutdown of Xbox using the general settings for "Full Shutdown" 3.) Turn on Freesync in monitor OSD (and make sure it's using HDMI 2.0) 4.) Turn on Xbox and then try to turn on freesync... Might not work but, sometimes the Xbox is finicky without having a full shutdown in between major changes.
@@ChringyTechTalk thanks for the suggestions but I tried everything with this monitor over the 3 years of owning it. I think the problem is that it only supports 100hz over hdmi and 144hz over dvi. Even at 1080p/120hz I can't use freesync.
I think I have found a fix and I have ordered one to test, but others have confirmed this works. It is an HDMI to DP adapter that supports 1440P 120hz. I have ordered it to confirm VRR functionality as well. Must do a full shutdown of the Xbox before hooking this up. Video to come when I receive it! Link - amzn.to/3r6Y0ba
@@ChringyTechTalk I looked into picking up a converter awhile ago but I heard that image quality takes a pretty big hit. If iq holds up with this I'll definitely pick one up, and if MS adds hdr support at 1440p I'll have no reason to upgrade to a new display. Looking forward to your review 👍
Would you recommend a TV in this price point over this gaming monitor? I don't really want to drop 1k on a new tv or monitor just to get specs that match.
If I was aiming around 300-350, then I would go with the monitor. If you could spend ~600 then I would suggest the 55 inch TCL R635. I did a review on that TV if you want to check it out!
Thanks for this video, in my case I received first the Xbox, I'm still waiting for the monitor, I bought the G27QC and i was sceptical on the 1440 120 with vrr until I saw this, very informative!! ... Do you think i can update the firmware without using mouse and keyboard? It was easy to put 1440 120 with vrr? I saw a lot of people on reddit saying it was impossible for them to get 1440 120 working and they are returning the monitor
I believe Gigabyte recommends updating the firmware through their OSD Sidekick software. If you have a laptop on hand, you could do it through that! Regarding the 1440p, 120hz, and VRR..just make sure you have "Allow 4K" disabled in the Xbox video settings and it's super easy from there!

This video is even relevant 2 years later. Thanks to you i can finally stop looking at other monitors
no way im literally shopping for this monitor and this comes up!
Nice! RUclips read your mind :D
Hey man! I just ordered my gigabyte from Amazon, and thank you! You answered all the questions I had for the Xbox series x and more! Super happy with my decision, especially after watching your vid.
I came to this video after been a couple days looking information for a good monitor to play with an xbox series X in 1440p 120hz. Thanks to you i bought a Gigabyte G27QC Just plugged in my xbox series X with autodetection enable and select 1440p and 120hz and it works properly, i didn't change anything on settings. You have a new sub, thank you very much.
Glad you're enjoying the new monitor! :)
Does the VRR enable as well??? I want 1440p, 120hz, VRR.
Please respond ASAP!
THANKS.
@@HypNoTiXz yep!
been trying to find the best 1440p, 120hz monitor for under 400 for a week now, gone through like 20 monitors, this one looks great, perfect for my series X. Thanks!
Yes - the 32 inch version has had no issues and has been great!
27 inch is 230 on newegg right now
The first video that actually broke everything down! I have a 1080p 144Hz Monitor already, I’ll wait till next year to grab a 4K HDMI 2.1 144Hz monitor so I can have all the boxes checked.
Thank you for the feedback! Sounds like a plan to me.
Thank you for making this video man. This is the exact monitor that I've been looking at and debating on getting for a while because I plan on upgrading to the series X soon. Much love and keep up the good work I subscribed
Thank you!!
Thanks!
I've been up for the last three nights swimming in a sea of gaming monitor choices 🤔🤔🤔. Found this gem. At the right price. I was so nervous it wasn't going to sync up correctly With my Series X, which i accidentally bought on StockX.
Figure i might as well have more than a 720 monitor to go with it.
Thanks for the confirmation on this.
I'm pretty excited for this with Halo
Halo has been a blast on it :) enjoy!!
Thank you for this video. I ordered it and it’s coming in tomorrow. I’ll keep y’all updated if you want
Any updates? Would you recommend?
?
Thank you so much for your video. I’m using the M32QC which is pretty much similar with G32qc. I’m experiencing the black screen right now and idk why I can choose the 4K options on Xbox. Great great video!
I don’t usually comment on these things but I love your videos. Was in the market for a monitor and you convinced me to buy the gigabyte. Keep up the content, you’re killing it
Thanks for the kind words! :)
thank you , this video answer all myy questions , i think i will wait for better 4k monitor
Thanks for the comment!
Hey just checking back in i bought the gigabyte and just want to say thanks ! This monitor at 1440 p 120 was exactly what i needed ! Keep up the grind
Awesome! Enjoy :)
How do you get it to be at 1440p with 120? Every time I try it just allows it to be at 60
I have the G27QC-A from bestbuy I get 1440p 120hz VRR
HDR and HDR10 all checked with or without 4k selected on my Xbox Series S. I was gonna send this monitor back and get the Dell S2721DGF but changed my mind I like this monitor.
Just done the same. Seems with 4K off and HDR on is a good medium. Massive boost in FPS with good resolution. Then just play shooters at 1440p without HDR. Good monitor. I'm loving it
@@wolfgangshmit7333 I ended up sending it back because of ghosting and text look shit...bought the Dell s2721dgf...hdr and contrast not as good but happy with color and speed of the Dell.
I'm using the Series X with it and i find it brilliant. Haven't had any ghosting. And i hate that shit. For the price i can't fault it
Dude this is gold . Thank you ! Officially bought a gigabyte.. they should give you commission!
Awesome! Enjoy it:) ...and I wish! Ha. Maybe one day!
You are going to be big. You’ve got that special RUclips vibe. I glad I got in before 100 subscribers.

I have the g27qc and when i activate VRR and play for example overwatch 2 i see some flash on my screen not a Big flash but u Can see it when playing
U Can see it on dark places
Is it annoying enough to not warrant buying? I mostly play ow2 on a tv and was gonna get g27qc as my upgrade
Crazy seeing an older, yet familiar face giving me tech advice on youtube. To think I used to party with this guy and his now wifey pants (congrats btw) roughly 14 years ago. Chris, its JP from the days out "WEST"! Almost didn't recognize you with the manly beard but that voice sounded awfully familiar from the get go. Thanks for the monitor recommendation! I've been looking up different monitors for the last 48 hours since I picked up my Series S and been STRUGGLING to keep my options capable and under $450. Actually went with the same model just a different variant (Gigabyte M27Q 27) with a built in KVM switch to let me swap inputs between my work laptop and Series S without additional cables and plugs! Should help keep my office setup pretty clean and tidy! Gaming on a budget is how I'm living these days, so you earned a sub! Be well and keep up the good work!
Little advice; specify those HDMI 2.0 inputs; without em, you won't get above 60hz on either console through HDMI WITH 1440p resolution. I only say that cause not all the listings on Amazon specify this and it was kind of a pain to figure that out. I'm also still green on all the next gen tech specifics, so if this is sorta common knowledge for most, then disregard my minor criticism. Other than that, I like the videos and check youtube daily so keep em coming. Also gonna check out that headset you recommend cause my current TB stealth 700's are CRAYAP!
WOW! JP! Challenge!? Ha. Used to go head to head with this guy in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Halo. Good times ha.
On the Gigabyte M27Q, just be sure to update the firmware and you should be good to go for 1440P 120Hz. Originally it didn't work but they updated the firmware to get it working.
Yeah man! Good call outs on the advice. I guess I assumed too much in saying that it wasn't HDMI 2.1 (meaning, it's obviously 2.0) but good call for sure. I stated that in my full review but not in the Xbox Only one.
More videos definitely coming soon! I had a crazy past 2 months with work, family, Covid, and crap. Hit me up on facebook!

Hey Chris. I appreciate the insight on getting a better outcome with the x box series x. Everyone has videos pertaining to pc and it was nice to get some tips and direction on the x box side of things. My monitor arrives Friday and I'm super excited to get out of the 60fps world I've been stuck in. Thanks again

Just ordered mine cant wait until it comes!
Congrats! Enjoy :)
Great video man, it was really helpful. Keep up the good work, I see you becoming a big channel!
Thanks for the awesome feedback :)
Hey, great video. Has the Xbox updated yet to support HDR? To confirm you just need to turn off 4K and HDR on the Xbox settings to get 1440p @ 120fps?
I'm using the asus vg32vq1b for the new xbox. After a week of tweakings and frustrations, this is the best settings that I found:
Put the resolution to 1440p 120hz with the "Allow 4k" on, VRR on, and hdr off. If you're using hdr, you might see the 120hz active, but it will revert to 60hz when playing an hdr game. I don't mind, since the hdr on that monitor is bad, so it's better to leave it off. If you are using a good soundbar or AV, you can get the same settings as above, but without the VRR, since no AVs support that, unless it's hdmi 2.1.
If you disable "Allow 4K" then you should be able to get 1440p 120hz with VRR even while gaming. I haven't tested this specific monitor though but it sounds like same issue I had with mine which was the monitor using a downscaler to downscale a 4K game to 1440p however that caps the refresh rate at 60hz.
@@ChringyTechTalk well, i do notice the 120fps smoothness with the allow 4k activated, but only if the hdr is off. My asus monitor has a real time fps counter, and I can see the 120fps shown when starting a game and using the 120fps mode with the allow 4k also turned on (I've only tested this with Ori and SW Squadrons). If I activate hdr on top of that, the monitor will show 60 when starting a game. I guess it has to do with the vrr and hdr turned on at the same time, but I haven't tested that, yet.
I've seen some videos stating that vrr and hdr are hateful to each other, meaning that hdr will affect or nullify the vrr if the display is not certified with freesync premium pro.
thank you for the review, helped me a lot in my decision and this is the model I will pick! Definitely subbed for the quality
Glad I could help. Thanks! :)
Awesome video! I picked up the g32qc about a month ago. Quick question, for warzone, what are your display settings on the monitor? I've been messing around trying to get the best picture but having some trouble dialing it in. Thanks!
thank you so much bro, very nice video, now im searching budget monitor (1440 144hz) for XBSX and i think this is very good choise. I know that not all (1440 144hz) monitors can do it on XBSX 1440 144hz, they can do only 1080 120hz or 1440 60hz like some LG monitors, now i know that this Gigabyte G32QC can do 1440 144hz.
No problem! 1440P 120hz. Xbox can't do 144hz on anything, max of 120hz!
Awesome video, really enjoyed and very helpful on making my decision.

Hello!
I saw this video in my recomendations and felt like it was a match from heaven, I bought the monitor with the goal set for SS and not SX, but after this video and realizing that i can have 1440p with 120 hz is just amazing
Now thanks to you I will upgrade myself from a 720p TV with the first gen Xbox to a 1440p monitor with SX
Thank you, and I mean it.
I forgot to ask, to get 1440p 120 hz did you use the HDMI from the monitor or the Xbox?
Awesome! Welcome to next gen :)...either should worked. I would use the one from Xbox if you can to guarantee support. I actually personally use a 30ft cable cause my Xbox is under my TV most of the time but I run the cable over to my desk for monitor gaming and testing :)

Just so people know. The 27 inch version is only 230 on newegg right now. Ends in around 3 days. Good luck.
Good find. I will caution that a few people have reported issues with the 27 inch not being able to do 1440P at 120hz but others have said it works fine. Might be down to a manufacturer variations of something.. But the 32 inch works great:)

Appreciate it!
Cheers, really enjoyed the Vid! I have this monitor for my son's birthday for his Xbox X and was a little underwhealmed after testing. Do you think because you cant fully utilise all of its features and compensate on others, it might be worth swapping for a 4k screen? Understandably you would lose the speed/smoothness aspect, but maybe get to appreciate the consoles visuals more by being HDR/4k/VRR compatible? Next gens I feel at present are really not concerened about how they play via monitor and are more comfortable for the basics of a TV. Much love from Wales 👍.
Great video! Do you think the Gigabyte M27Q can support 1440p / 120 Hz on the Xbox Series X? I just got the console but not a monitor. Some people are having problems with some monitors that support 1440p / 120 Hz, but the XSX don't.
From looking at the specs, I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to. Just make sure you disable "Allow 4K" in the Xbox Settings so that the downscaler doesn't force 60hz/4k.
Hey Carlos, I just bought the M27Q and can't seem to get it to 1440p at 120hz and I've tired all the recommended setting and still nothing . So I'm in the process of returning the M27Q and getting the G32QC to test for my self . I wanted a monitor that will work 1440p at 120 on the XBox series X .
I'll see if I can get my hands on a M27Q to test also.
Alright ! I've actually had 2 different branded 1440 monitors and can't seem to get 1440p 120 to work . I had the Dell S2719DGF and the M27Q
Alright got my G32QC today and happy to say it worked with the Xbox series X at 1440 and 120hz! And now time to send back the M27Q tried everything with that monitor and it didn't work .
Mine did come with a dead pixel. I do like it quite a lot other than that. Coming from a 1080p 24-inch TN panel to this 32 inch beast has been a nice experience. I did think it was a bit big at first, but it has definitely grown on me. I tested it briefly with my PS5 and it does indeed downscale the 4k60 signal, but I have yet to try any 120Hz titles on it to see how the monitor handles it.
Is it a dead pixel or a stuck pixel? There's a few test online you can run to unstick a pixel if it's just stuck on a color. Might be worth looking into! Yeah, it's nice :)
@@ChringyTechTalk Definitely seems like a dead pixel since it's a black spot. Almost seems like debris is underneath the screen. There is a stuck pixel on my unit as well, but the online tests didn't fix it when I tried em briefly. I love the monitor regardless since it's so nice compared to my old VG248QE, but I am strongly considering an Amazon return as soon as my local best buy has some in stock that I can buy instead.
Thank you for this video! I've been looking for a compatible monitor for the Xbox series x at 1440p 120hz. Did you have to mess with any settings on the Xbox or did it automatically pick up the 1440p 120hz? I'm also going to sub

There is absolutely no need for an HDR in gaming.
You need at least 1000 nits to experience a true HDR.
Below 1000 nits is an illusion and it looks worse than SDR.
Very true from a brightness perspective!
The gigabyte has 1000 nits
@@ripp123m it's actually between 400 and 450 according to rtings test. It's HDR400 certified as well so fits within that spec. Very few monitors reach 1000 nits.

@@aminou2958 yes it does
Thanks for the video, I still cannot make a decision between this monitor and BenQ EX2780Q. Could you, please, confirm this monitor allows 1440p+120Hz+Freesync (VRR) all at the same time? Do you have any idea if EX2780Q supports all those three things together?
Thanks, and great work.
I can confirm personally that this monitor does 1440P+120hz+VRR at same time. I have not tested the EX2780Q though. It's an IPS panel though. I prefer VA panels for the contrast ratios that you can get, especially since I game in a dark room. If I were you, I would look up the differences between IPS and VA to see which you might prefer :). Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@ChringyTechTalk Very kind for your response. Many people are having issues managing to make the console to recognize their monitors with that combo setting (because many monitors won't list resolution and frequency in a proper way that the console recognizes it). It would be nice if you make a video showing how you manage to set it up.
Regarding IPS and VA, I've been very tempted to this particular monitor because of its Freesync Premium Pro capability and contrast, but the view angle range and color 'accuracy' leans me towards IPS panels.
Again, thank you and gw.
I can do a quick video on it for sure. I'm wrapping up a TV review this evening and then I can make that my next!
Regarding viewing angles...since it's a curved screen, you really should just be viewing it straight on regardless. As far as color accuracy, this is sitting next to my calman verified Asus ProArt display which is professionally calibrated and I find the colors look almost identical. Obviously that can vary depending on panel lottery but just my experience. There's definitely pros to IPS panels (I hate IPS glow though and it's super noticable in a dark room to me).

What’s the difference between the gc32qc and the gc27qc? I know that the later has a smaller screen size but is that it? Are the specs at all different? Which would you recommend
I recommend the 32 inch because the extra screen real estate is awesome :). As far as differences, not many that you would notice without in depth testing, but here is what RTINGS said:
"The Gigabyte G27QC is the smaller variant of the Gigabyte G32QC. They're very similar, but there are a few differences between them. The G27QC has a higher contrast ratio, better reflection handling, and faster response time at 60Hz. On the other hand, the G32QC gets brighter in HDR and has a Black Frame Insertion feature."
I purchased it but saw a lot of ghosting did you have the same experience?
Have you tried all the Overdrive settings to reduce the ghosting?
Pleased I found this video. It had been frustrating me that the monitor would black screen and switch to 60fps when launching games. I too had the issue where it sometimes wouldn’t turn back on. I thought it was down to the “allow variable refresh rate option”. Am I right in thinking that I just need to untick “Allow 4K” or do I also need to untick “Allow HDR10”?
Overall I think it’s an excellent monitor and would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of getting it. And I agree with you that Microsoft will probably sort this issue out in the near future.
Just untick Allow 4K. HDR technically won't work at 1440P anyways so you can turn it on or off, up to you!
My Xbox S looks great on this Gigabyte.....great buy...
Awesome!

I bought this monitor today from Amazon and I'm excited to try it out on the next generation of consoles - want your opinion on it yet? And did you do an experiment on the Playstation 5 on this screen? Have a good day.
I love it on my Xbox! I have not gotten my hands on a PS5 yet so I have not been able to test.
Hi bro, actually PS5 don't support 1440p (2K), it only support 1080p or 2160p(4k) they might update and fix this but at the moment you cannot play at 2K resolution so you will be blocked at 1080p with this monitor
@@Zomdu03 Correct! There are talks that they will add it but currently native 1440P isn't supported. I mentioned that in my full review of the monitor. Thanks for the comment!
So for the best 1440p 120hz experience should I have allow 4k and hdr10 turned off?
Your last video convinced me to pick up this monitor, I’ve been using it since Monday on my standard Xbox one and loving it. Even at native 1080 it’s a major upgrade from my old tv. Now just waiting to get the series X so I can see what it can really do.

How is it for the xbox series s?
A good match! 1440P 120hz sweet spot :)
Hey do you think Xbox will find a way to fix the compatibility issues with the M27Q anytime soon?
Gigabyte fixed the issue. You got to download Gigabyte Sidekick app for your computer. Download the app and update the app. Go back to the Gigabyte M27Q Firmware page. Download the Firmware for the M27Q. I then restarted my computer and ran the the Sidekick app. Went to downloads in the app. I found the firmware and flashed it. Then restarted the monitor and put the Xbox series on. And everything works 1440p 120hz FreeSync and Vvr.
That is awesome too hear!!

I specifically tested it on the Xbox Series X (per the title of the video). Sorry I don't have a PS5 yet to test. Have you tried all the settings? Curious why it wouldn't work..sounds like a PS5 issue or settings issue, not the monitor.
Please try these settings and also make sure you are playing a game that actually supports 120hz. Let me know if it works!
Settings -> Saved Data and Game/App Settings -> Game Presets. Now, change Performance Mode or Resolution Mode to Performance Mode.

Also I hope they have one thats sub 50".
I’m looking at getting this monitor, I have a ps5, do you think it will be similar to Xbox? Great vid btw
When Sony adds native 1440P support it will be great. Right now it will be limited to 1080p 120hz or 4k 60hz using the downscaler.
PS5 is doesn't have 1440p native support so either go with 1080p or 4k monitor or TV save yourself a headache Sony said it will consider adding it if the demand is high enough shit is just dumb why not just support it and call it a day stupid corporations
Agreed. They should have included it for sure. I bet they will add it though (hopefully).
Have the same.monitor excited for this
Awesome!
gj - As a tip from someone who presents for a living. Do not have fizzy drinks 30 mins b4 or during a presentation . It causes alot of reflux and the need to burp - I could see you attempting to prevent it. - otherwise im tempted by this monitor today as its reduced to 299 but comparing to the samsung g7 .... as that's reduced to 499. any thoughts on the comparison between the 2
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely remember that for next time :) ...regarding the G32QC vs the G7 - What is your use case for the monitor? I would say if it is to play consoles then I would go with the G32QC. If it's for both PC and console use and you can swing the extra money, then the G7 is super nice. You'll get 240hz refresh rate, a better stand (if you aren't planning on using a custom VESA mount), faster rise/fall time for blacks, and faster response time overall for motion. Everything else is equivalent though (HDR brightness, input lag, etc).
One thing to note, the G7 is a 1000R curved screen so it is more aggressively curved than the 1500R of the G32QC. Some people like that and others hate that much of a curve. Something you just have to see for yourself.
I don't know how much the Monitor cost...But, the 49 inch LG Nano Cell 85 Series is only $499. 4k, 120, Dolby Vision, VRR. So, get the TV dude and put the monitor up on ebay!!!
This monitor was $320 when I picked it up. That's not a bad deal for that TV! I have a 65 inch TCL R635 that I use as my TV! I use the monitor for other things as well (like video editing and work) though.
@@ChringyTechTalk Gotcha! Until HDMI 2.1 comes fully on gaming monitors... A TV like the LG 49 inch Nanos Cell 4k would be the way to go for a budget Series X setup.
@@ITMedCEO yeah I'm really looking forward to next year's TV releases when 2.1 is more widespread!
Microsoft needs to fix hdr
Agreed! Apparently a fix is in the works!
Hey man which one you reccomend more for competitive and fastest response time? This monitor or oddysey g5?? Thanks
I use the samsung chg70 32 inch. It's a curved 1440p 144hz w/freesync 2.0 and hdr. It can do 1440p @ 120hz if I turn off hdr in the series X display menu but it won't do 1440p @120hz with freesync on. Seems to be more of an issue with the monitor than it is with the xbox since you're able to run freesync @1440p/120 on the g32qc. I hope MS adds hdr support for 1440p, the hdr in the chg70 is pretty decent.
Indeed. Have you made sure that freesync is on in the monitor OSD? I would try these steps:
1.) Turn off freesync in xbox
2.) Do a full shutdown of Xbox using the general settings for "Full Shutdown"
3.) Turn on Freesync in monitor OSD (and make sure it's using HDMI 2.0)
4.) Turn on Xbox and then try to turn on freesync...
Might not work but, sometimes the Xbox is finicky without having a full shutdown in between major changes.
@@ChringyTechTalk thanks for the suggestions but I tried everything with this monitor over the 3 years of owning it. I think the problem is that it only supports 100hz over hdmi and 144hz over dvi. Even at 1080p/120hz I can't use freesync.
I think I have found a fix and I have ordered one to test, but others have confirmed this works. It is an HDMI to DP adapter that supports 1440P 120hz. I have ordered it to confirm VRR functionality as well. Must do a full shutdown of the Xbox before hooking this up. Video to come when I receive it! Link - amzn.to/3r6Y0ba
@@mondo2548 tagging you, see above :)
@@ChringyTechTalk I looked into picking up a converter awhile ago but I heard that image quality takes a pretty big hit. If iq holds up with this I'll definitely pick one up, and if MS adds hdr support at 1440p I'll have no reason to upgrade to a new display. Looking forward to your review 👍
Would you recommend a TV in this price point over this gaming monitor? I don't really want to drop 1k on a new tv or monitor just to get specs that match.
If I was aiming around 300-350, then I would go with the monitor. If you could spend ~600 then I would suggest the 55 inch TCL R635. I did a review on that TV if you want to check it out!
Thanks for this video, in my case I received first the Xbox, I'm still waiting for the monitor, I bought the G27QC and i was sceptical on the 1440 120 with vrr until I saw this, very informative!! ... Do you think i can update the firmware without using mouse and keyboard? It was easy to put 1440 120 with vrr? I saw a lot of people on reddit saying it was impossible for them to get 1440 120 working and they are returning the monitor
I believe Gigabyte recommends updating the firmware through their OSD Sidekick software. If you have a laptop on hand, you could do it through that!
Regarding the 1440p, 120hz, and VRR..just make sure you have "Allow 4K" disabled in the Xbox video settings and it's super easy from there!
@@ChringyTechTalk Finally got mine yesterday, it's an amazing monitor, everything is working great.. I'm trying to update the firmware through my laptop but I think is bugged for me, when I press download on the OSD nothing happens, says firmware version f13 but does not download anything, i downloaded the firmware from the gigabyte support webpage and it was f01, installed that firmware thinking after that it's gonna show me the F13 firmware but now i'm stuck on F01 and i can't go back to F13... Do you only press the download button and works? I don't know what more can i do, is impossible to find that firmware F13 or any other number more advanced than F01 on Google, Thanks for the help man and sorry for my english
@@daneldan I mentioned in my full review that I had issue upgrading the firmware as well. I just kept trying it and it reverted back to F01, but then I tried a few more times and it finally updated. Try restarted your pc completely then trying it again. Let me know!
@@ChringyTechTalk thanks for the fast answer.. I think I tryed everything, uninstall , restart, manual search in folders and still when i press download nothing happens , I send a ticket to gigabyte support, If I got a solution I'll let you know... Good night brother
@@daneldan night bro! Make sure your running the program as administrator too.
Should I buy this monitor or just wait a bit more?
I've got the Series X and playing WarZone will I be able to get the 2K 1440p 120hz 120Fps?
Great review but I use it on ps5 and there is zero input lag when downscaling the 4k signal
I don't really care about HDR, so this sounds perfect for my series s, I have a 1440p 144hz monitor but the whole non standard vesa timing thing means that it won't work correctly, so Im trying to find a monitor that actually allows 1440p 120hz
Did u get it
@@Nick-ue5nu I got an Asus tuf, because they were roughly the same price, but the asus had prime shipping, and the gigabyte was out of stock, it works perfectly w my series s
@@finnr.9664 is it basically the same thing
I’m planning on getting the pixio 277 prime it seems to have amazing features for the price hopefully it’s perfect for the series X
I actually looked into a few of the Pixios! They definitely look like a good deal. Kinda curious about their quality control (panel variations etc). Let me know how it is!!
How was it ?
we're you able to hit 120fps in any enhanced games? i've been seeing issues with capable monitors being capped at 60fps cause of the series x and would love to hear your experience. looking at the 27inch version of this monitor. cheers!
Yep! In my latest video I show some Ori playing at 120fps! A few people have noted issues with the 27inch not working (although it worked in my test). I haven't heard of any issues with the 32 inch version yet. Might be best to shoot for that one!
@@ChringyTechTalk you're the man, thank you!
I have the 27 inch version of this monitor and whenever I turn on VRR there is a light flickering problem on loading screens and stuff when the fps changes. Do you have any tips to fix this?
I have the exact same issue on my 4k 65 inch LG nano. I think it might have to do with it being a HDMI 2.0 port and not a 2.1
amazing absolute legend
Could you try to see if this monitor supports 1080p at 120hz please or has anyone else tried this - some monitors do not support this mode and switch to 60hz - great video by the way really useful
I will give it a try this evening when I get home!
