What Gigabyte M27Q-X owners say

M27QX is my favorite 1440p 240Hz monitor for value, performance, and the sheer lack of gamer aesthetic. Just a grey monitor with minimal bezel that casually fucking rips

the picture quality is fantastic, my last monitor was the 27 inch odyssey G70B, this G70D 32inch is way better

Still expensive which is not worth it
