    One of the best tech RUclipsrs:
    + No background music.
    + A natural way of speaking, with a natural cadence/melody.
    + All content, no waste of time.
    + A natural voice.
    + No over editing.
    + Attention to detail.
    + Content comes from testing and observing while thinking, not from reading spec sheets and adding fluff to that.
    + A general interest in the product, and trying to answer what people might be wondering about.
    + Content comes from creator, seemingly without 'guidance' from the manufacturer.
    Thanks for a great job!

      I just got one and don’t know what a dead pixel is. It seems like my monitor is fine, but the text in windows 10 is blurry in some programs and it’s driving me insane.
      Not sure how to fix it exactly except to override dpi scaling on every program that has this issue, which is tedious as all heck

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  2 года назад

      It could be sensitivity to 'fringing' issues related to the the BGR subpixel layout, as covered in the review - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m27q/#Calibration. If you haven't already, be sure to correctly optimise ClearType.

    You heared about the m27q-x? Thinking about buying that, since my actual m27q which I bought a week ago has kinda a strong backlight bleeding spot :/

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  2 года назад

      Backlight bleed varies between individual units, so that isn't a good reason to go for a different model - especially one which one costs significantly more. That doesn't guarantee perfection in that respect. As for the M27Q X, that's likely a more affordable version of the FI27Q-X we've reviewed but currently unknown if it uses the same panel - pcmonitors.info/gigabyte/gigabyte-m27q-x-240hz-wqhd-ips/.

      Would be worth reinstalling the software. If you've got the USB upstream cable connected (to the USB-B port of the monitor) it should just work. Maybe try power cycling the monitor as well. Leave it connected up (including USB and your video cable), disconnect power... Wait 30 seconds and reconnect power.

      As covered in the review, the subpixel layout is a non-issue for gaming. And is really a minor to non-issue for most outside of that. I do recommend this model for the PS5 (120Hz Full HD and 60Hz downsampled '4K') - pcmonitors.info/recommendations/gaming-monitors/.

    Awesome thank you! One thing I noticed about the monitor though is that the top and the sides have like... black bars, I checked the resolutions, and it's not a problem, overscan seemed to have sized it correctly but those black bars are still there, it's not like that for the bottom, or at least barley, I thought it would fill the whole screen considering how small the bezels are, or is that just how it is?

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  9 месяцев назад

      That's the dual stage bezel design described in the review. Very common on modern monitors, you're just seeing a panel border surrounding the image. It's part of the panel and can either be exposed (dual stage) or hidden by a thicker bezel (single stage).

    Hey, I was wondering would it be preferrable to buy older monitors like the Gigabyte G24F/MSI G241 over their successors if they're available brand new? Because I've seen reviews and reddit threads claiming that the panels on the older monitors seem to be better than the ones used on the newer versions. And I've seen the newer versions have more issues like screen glitching randomly and ghosting on them than I've seen on older versions through my research on the internet.

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  19 дней назад +1

      Or just get the 24G2SP(U) which we recommend instead, which still uses a good panel and is a strong all-round performer - pcmonitors.info/articles/best-gaming-monitors/. For what it's worth, as you commented on it elsewhere, I don't consider the build quality to be below average within the segment on that model. In fact it's more solid than Gigabyte's design in my view (refer to my comments about the stand base in this M27Q view, for reference). Though the MSI is possibly more solid feeling and perhaps it's worth getting hold of the original panel on that one.

    • @Skewel

      ​@@PCMonitorsAlright, will consider it. Do you consider something like the LG 24GN65R to also be a viable option in the same category as well? Just in case the AOC one isn't available?

      Can't specifically recommend it, but user feedback on it seems generally positive. And I've used models with a similar design and it does have a pretty 'solid' feel to it for a monitor of its price.

    Hello, when Samsung monitors turn on the blue light setting, the screen turns yellow and the yellow light increases. Is there something like that? Or does it not give yellow light? Like yellow light programs, they emit yellow light to suppress blue. thank you

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  8 месяцев назад

      The warm or "yellow" tint is due to a reduction in blue channel and how 'Low Blue Light' is typically achieved. It's also the case here as explored in the video 18:56 and also the review.

    • @UnrealEnginecode

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  8 месяцев назад +1

      If you reduce the blue channel then you're left with relatively high red or warm-tone light output from the monitor. Which will give a warm amber to greenish yellow tint, depending on the green channel strength. This is explained in the review - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m27q/#Calibration.

You can adjust 'Black eQualizer' with the other presets if you wish, too. Having said that, are you sure you don't have 'Aim Stabilizer' active? That's the strobe backlight setting of this monitor that would cause flickering as covered in the video.

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  Год назад

      I've only tested the rev 1.0 model which uses a different panel and the 'Test Settings' can be seen in the review - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m27q/#Calibration. Colour balance varies between individual units even if the same panel is used though, let alone a different panel. If it appears yellow you probably need to reduce the red and green colour channels a bit.

      Same as with most monitors - you make sure you're feeding it an SDR signal. So disable HDR in the game and don't enable it in Windows. Reference - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m27q/#HDR_(High_Dynamic_Range).

      What do you mean by that? Monitors don't require any such adjustment now with digital signals, that is a relic of the old VGA days. It's more likely you're noticing the panel border which is a physical part of the panel, whereas you may not have noticed it initially. Refer to the review for more on the 'dual-stage' design of the the bezels, which is now very common on monitors.

    Hey, did you find out if there's any way to enable the picture quality overdrive preset and aim stabilizer (ULMB)? I just can't seem to enable both. I really want to use the aim stabilizer and the benefits it provides but it uses the speed overdrive preset and it's absolutely horrible. Cheers!

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  2 года назад

      It's not possible. It would be nice if the overdrive was set to less extreme levels, but technically 'Picture Quality' would be too weak with acceleration for a strobe backlight setting and would lead to very high strobe crosstalk. Note that ULMB is an Nvidia-trademarked term for models with a G-SYNC module and not a generic term for strobe backlight technologies.

    Gigabyte M27Q or Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A?

    • @PCMonitors
      @PCMonitors  3 года назад +3

      My recommendation is clear and it's the Gigabyte - pcmonitors.info/recommendations/gaming-monitors/. The VG27AQL1A often has poorly calibrated gamma and has no gamma settings in the OSD. I feel it's difficult to justify the price premium over the Gigabyte. Many people like that the Gigabyte has a single overdrive setting that works well throughout the VRR range, too. The ASUS does not and in general the pixel overdrive isn't as well-tuned as the Gigabyte. You have to either put up with moderately strong overshoot or more conventional trailing than the Gigabyte would give you.

      You turn HDR on in Windows, the system or the game. The monitor then automatically switches to its HDR operating mode, as covered in the review. It will be mentioned in the OSD and it will be obvious because many options will be unvailable and the image should look clearly different to under SDR. 27:30.

      What you call 'upscaling' in this context is covered in the review, the section I linked to earlier. See the italicised text in the final paragraph there as well. Either the monitor runs at its native WQHD. In which case it displays that content is the same as any other WQHD model and the software or system is in charge. Or it is sent an actual Full HD signal by the system because that's the resolution the system is running at. In which case the monitor also runs at that resolution, using interpolation. There are no other behaviours between those.

      Your reply disappeared for some reason. To answer your questions:
      1) The RTX 3060 supports 'G-SYNC Compatible Mode', which can be used on the M27Q. Just like the RTX 3090 used in this review. 'G-SYNC Compatible' is what you call G-SYNC that runs on an Adaptive-Sync ('FreeSync') monitor. pcmonitors.info/articles/nvidia-g-sync-vrr-technology/#G-SYNC_Compatible_Monitors
      2) The 'SS' port you were referring to is USB Type-B. You use a USB Type-A to Type-B cable. That cable connects USB on your PC (Type-A) to the USB upstream port (Type-B) of the monitor.

      Might be worth power cycling the monitor. Leave it connected to the system and switched on, disconnect the monitor from the power... Wait at least 30 seconds and plug the monitor back into the power.

      Refer to the calibration section of the review for some suggestions - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m27q/#Calibration. Our unit was set up per the 'Test Settings', but the best settings vary between units and depends on preferences. So I'd recommend you just see how you find it 'out of the box', adjust brightness so it's comfortable for you and keep 'Overdrive' set to 'Picture Quality'. If you notice obvious tints for the colours then feel free to adjust the colour channels (e.g. if things look cool-tinted reduce blue channel slightly and perhaps green channel just a little).

      Might be an odd firmware issue, have you tried updating that with Gigabyte Sidekick (or Gigabyte Control Center)? And also reinstalling your graphics driver if you haven't already. If you've selected 2560 x 1440 in Nvidia Control Panel it should actually be 2560 x 1440 that's set. Not sure why that isn't the case.

      14:52. No reason to really use presets other than 'Standard', 'Custom 1', 'Custom 2' and 'Custom 3' (or 'sRGB' if you want sRGB emulation). If your Black Equalizer settings don't save for 'Custom 1', 'Custom 2' and 'Custom 3' then you could use shortcut keys in OSD Sidekick for Black Equalizer. Or using Quick Switch with the OSD 25:17.

      Unlikely to be faulty. Just that some settings might apply universally rather than just being saved for a particular preset. I used colour channels as an example but perhaps the settings you mention are treated in the same way - 29:09.

      ​@@PCMonitors ​ I just found out something new, the software program When the computer goes to sleep and the monitor does goes to sleep as well. When you wake the computer up, the software will not work and if you tried to close and launch the software again will tell you that please insert the USB. But the USB is inserted and working well and if you tried to restart the computer same message will keep persisting. Now to fix this i found two ways to fix the problem, the easiest i believe without the need to stand up is to use the joystick back of the monitor and click shut off and turn it on again, once you do that if you open the software would go back to normal, the other way is to reattach the USB cable that is connected to the PC and that would fix the problem again, this seems to be happening every time the PC goes to sleep not even one has skip this problem. I might need to stop the computer going to sleep because i really like this software and is a pain that i need to do this 2 times a day to the least.

      You'll "hear some issues" with any monitor on the market, because none of them are perfect.

      There are many factors affecting viewing comfort - pcmonitors.info/articles/factors-influencing-pc-monitor-viewing-comfort/.

      No, the setting does not change the resolution it just changes the screen area covered as demonstrated. But like any monitor you set that to what you want in the system or game. And the experience you can expect when doing that is covered in the review - pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m27q/#Interpolation_and_upscaling.

      You're probably using HDR which blocks off such settings. The FPS mode is just a preset that messes up the image, you probably want to avoid using it and make manual adjustments with the 'Standard' setting instead, as advised in the video.
