The Cooler Master GP27U is an impressive overall monitor. It's excellent for the office thanks to its sharp text clarity, high peak brightness to combat glare, and excellent ergonomics that make it easy to adjust. It's also excellent for gaming as it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for console gaming, a fast response time and low input lag for a responsive feel, and VRR support to reduce screen tearing. It displays a wide range of colors in SDR and HDR, which is important if you want to watch content, and it also displays deep blacks thanks to its decent Mini LED local dimming. While it's also great for content creators, you'll have to calibrate it for the best performance.

The Cooler Master Tempest GP27U is an exceptional monitor in most regards. It’s brilliantly colorful and stunningly bright, and it even has contrast that can rival OLEDs in some scenarios thanks to its dense MiniLED backlights and local dimming. It comes at a high price, but so does every monitor that can compare to it. The biggest thing undercutting it is the 1440p/165Hz version that’s otherwise identical but costs substantially less.
