Overview
Gigabyte's GS27Q X is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor that pushes refresh rate rather than extras. The IPS panel runs at 2560 × 1440 with a 240 Hz native refresh (250 Hz with overclock), a 1 ms MPRT response and 300 nits, and it supports FreeSync Premium and Adaptive-Sync. Two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 are provided, along with Picture-by-Picture and GameAssist. It weighs 5.7 kg, has a tilt-only stand and dates from 2024.
