The Gigabyte G27QC is great for gaming. It has low input lag, quick response time, and a 165Hz refresh rate to provide a smooth and responsive gaming experience. It supports FreeSync to reduce screen tearing and is also G-SYNC compatible. Unfortunately, it isn't ideal for co-op gaming due to its narrow viewing angles and poor ergonomics. Its high contrast ratio makes it a good choice for dark rooms; however, backlight bleed can be an issue.

If you don’t care about a usable sRGB mode, the Gigabyte G27QC gaming monitor is nearly flawless. With accurate color, no need for calibration and premium-level gaming performance, it delivers a lot for the money. An ideal match for budget-oriented gaming systems.
