I'm looking to get a new gaming monitor and was wondering if the Asus VG27AQGL1A or the Gigabyte G27QC is better for my needs. Can you share your experiences with these monitors?
Asus VG27AQGL1A vs. Gigabyte G27QC - Gaming Response Times?
Started by wilfredslover on June 22, 2024
I've had the Gigabyte G27QC for a while now and it's been great! The refresh rate of 165Hz really makes games feel smoother than what I'm used to. The response time is also fantastic, making fast-paced games like COD look super crisp.
I have the Asus VG27AQGL1A, and I must say the 170Hz refresh rate really pushes my gaming experience to a new level! I also love how vibrant the colors are thanks to that 95% DCI-P3 color capability. It's hard for me to go back to lower-refresh-rate monitors.
I've been doing some research and came across this TechReviewer article Asus 27" VG27AQGL1A vs. Gigabyte 27" G27QC A that compares these two monitors in-depth. It might be helpful for you guys to check it out. The article talks about their response times, refresh rates, and other factors that are important when choosing a gaming monitor. It could help you make an informed decision.
Thanks for the link @integrateab, I'll definitely take a look at it. Just curious, how's the color accuracy on your G27QC? I've heard that IPS panels generally have better color reproduction.
Yeah, the color accuracy is good on my G27QC. It's not as good as what you'd get with an IPS panel like the Asus VG27AQGL1A, but it's still perfectly fine for gaming.
The color accuracy on my Asus VG27AQGL1A is really impressive, especially when I'm working on graphic design projects. But I guess it depends on your specific needs and preferences.
That's true @coreyk67. Ultimately, both monitors are excellent choices for gaming, but the better refresh rate on the Asus might give you an edge in fast-paced games. It really comes down to personal preference and what you prioritize in a monitor.
Thanks all for your input! I'll read up more on these two options and hopefully make a decision soon. Appreciate the advice and the link @integrateab!
