So, I found out the reason is because:

A.) The M27Q uses a BGR subpixel layout which makes text appear fuzzy but is cheaper to manufacture.
B.) The S2721DGF has a much better stand.

Now that they're both in stock, the price difference ($330 vs. $500) baffles me.

The RTings review indicates that both are virtually identical. So, what am I missing?

Appreciate the input.

After researching every 27" 1440p >144hz monitor currently available in Israel, the decision comes down to 3 options:

Gigabyte M27Q - $560 (70% price increase over US).
Dell S2721DGF - $640 (40% price increase over US).
LG 27GL850/83A - $730 (60% price increase over US).

The S2721DGF seems to be ...

Wait, why would the PG259QN be a downgrade from the VG259QM? It's 360hz and a lot more expensive.

Also, since you care about panel 'speed' so much that even 165hz is too slow for you, wouldn't a TN panel be the most important aspect for you?


True, but isn't the newer IPS panels are fast ...

Oh, and I also discovered yesterday that my Titan X (Maxwell) doesn't support GSync because it's too old, so I'll have to wait until I can somehow find a GTX 3080 or 6800 XT to really take advantage of whatever monitor I buy.


Are you sure? This page shows that it does - https://www.nvidia.com ...

I've had this before, seems like a bug. Windows is trying to go for the highest refresh rate as opposed to highest resolution.

Yeah, I did a lot of research yesterday and figured out the two best options are the Gigabyte M27Q and the Dell S2721DGF.

The Dell seems to be a lot more expensive in the US but only a little more expensive here and it boasts better response times (4ms vs 5ms on the Gigabyte).

It's also not ...

Sorry for the spam, but I can't edit or see my posts..

I just found the Gigabyte M27Q. It's only $600 here and also 170hz. Same price as the ASUS 259QM, which is only 24" and 1080p.

Thinking about buying it.

Okay, I've been looking into the 27" 1440p 144hz monitors.

The LG 27GL850 (or 27GL83A) cost ~$700.
The Viewsonic XG270QG is no longer sold here, but the XG270QC is also $700.
The ASUS XG279Q is $1,000. It's literally so expensive that it's cheaper to buy it from Amazon for $600 and then pay $320 in ...
