“second (m27qx) had a weird white flicker. I might have had horrible luck or gigabyte QA is horrible”— Aspect_Io on Reddit
“I made the choice to buy the Gigabyte M27QX and I hate it... My eyes are sore after a less than 1hour of playing LoL on 1440p 240hz or 200hz ....the colors seem worse than my current AOC. This feels like a downgrade for me and I will return it”— alicant3 on Reddit
“I currently use the Gigabyte M27QX and the motion performance is not great….. on top of that the low motion blur option makes the screen crazy dark and caps at 120hz”— A_Drobot on Reddit
“My gigabye m27qx already has a dead pixel after half a year.”— Star_Gazing_Cats on Reddit
“M27qx but I returned it bc I compared it with a 185 hz panel and I barely saw a difference so it was hard to justify the extra 250 bucks for a 240hz panel”— hproxursox on Reddit
“i just RMA my M27QX today and its only 5 months old”— Artsellec on Reddit
“I honestly hate this monitor and wish I hadn't bought it. I don't understand the praise it gets.”— Prestigious-Lion-814 on Reddit
“Literally recieved this monitor 24 hours ago same exact issue , horizontal line just appeared on monitor out of no where today. Purchased through Amazon.”— xgames181 on r/buildapc
“I had one, would not recommend it. Main issue is that the pixel overdrive modes are really bad. In my experience they are only usable above 150Hz/fps and below that you get terrible overshoot in every mode.”— skrukketiss69 on r/Monitors
“Whenever I turn on my monitor, these flickering lines appear. This only started to happen recently this year 2025 ever since I got this monitor April 2024.”— Plastic_Towel_6756 on r/Monitors
“I started screen uniformity test and found out that there is something like vertical darker strip - the visibility of this strip depends on colors and brightness.”— ninko011 on Blur Busters Forums
“i also noticed that it has issues with overdrive. In my case, i exp black motion artefacts on edges of objects and blurry textures when i fast moving camera in games”— CrippledTechTips on r/buildapcmonitors
Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“I used it for about 8 months, and the rest of the panel is in mint condition with no scratches, but there is one purple stuck pixel located at the top-middle of the screen. To be honest, it’s completely unnoticeable during actual gameplay”— Remarkable_Fix_8003 on r/Monitors
“I think it's a keeper but im unsure of why im not so satisfied with the clear and responsiveness of my monitor.”— 2eyesyusuf on r/buildapc
“I have the same panel but not the same problem as you guys have, or maybe I'm just not noticing it?”— gr1nna on r/buildapcmonitors
