Gigabyte M27Q-X rev.2 - problem, opinion?
Posted: 09 Sep 2024, 10:59
Hello all,
I joined here to ask you for opinion and advice.
Yesterday I bought new gaming monitor (old ASUS TUF VG27AQ1A died). It is Gigabyte M27Q-X rev.2 - I choosed it after long time of viewing reviews (RTINGS, HW UNBOXED etc.) because price was best for 2,5K 240 hz monitors in my region - Slovakia / 335 eur.
Before it I had ordered LG WOLED GS95QE-B for excellent price 690 eur - current price 820 eur in this store, but the store was not able to deliver it even after 2 months of waiting.
PROBLEM :
After first turning (download drivers/ICC profile, set picture settings, OD ,etc.) While browsing the web, I noticed that the right corner near the frame is a little bit darker - in vertical direction.
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. On max level of brightness it is almost no visible, accetable no distracting. But on level 30-40 is visible as on attached photo.
Notice - Left corner/side has not this problem.
OPINION/ADVICE :
I know that with IPS panels it is lottery. Is this problem panel defect? Should I return it? Or it will be big chance that I will have it again on another panel? Problem is that I can see this darker bar during playing - it is bit annoying when you know about it.
On other side the Motion handling is pretty good on 240 HZ with FPS range 180-250 in FPS games which I playing..
Monitor use : 85% playing FPS games (BF V, BF2042) 15% web browsing.
It will be there noticable difference in quality of panel when I will buy something like Dell AW2723DF (515 eur) or ASUS VG27AQML1A (430 eur)???
Or should I buy LG WOLED GS95QE-B for 750 eur in other store? Or another tip on good IPS for this use (must be 27" 2,5K ideally with 240hz)???
Thank you for every opinion and advice.

The cheapest 27" 1440p ones here (Greece) start at about 670€. And I can see prices are relatively similar across Europe in general.
