GIGABYTEM27U Advanced (SA) - 27" SS IPS Gaming Monitor - UHD 3840x2160-160Hz - 1ms MPRT - AMD FreeSync Premium - Type C KVM - HDMI, DP, Type C - Height Adjustable - Black

Coming from an older Lenovo productivity monitor at 1440p to this has been amazing. I did not expect the clarity in every day tasks to be so obvious, but the 4k resolution is perfection. The pixel density is insane, and though I'd probably consider a 32" mounted to an arm for my next upgrade, this 27" fits on my desk nicely ATM.No dead pixels, and the IPS bleed was quite good. The OSD is good, and offers most of the settings you'd expect at this level. I'm running it at 120Hz and using Picture Quality in the settings, and it looks great.Overall, I'm very pleased at what we can obtain from a monitor these days given the low entry price of less than 500 USD.

Love this monitor! I’m using it to switch between a Mac mini which I use for work & my gaming pc. It took a bit of trial & error to get it going but it works great!

Forget about that 1440p Oled monitor. The technology for Oled monitors is not quite here yet. Instead, this IPS is almost the perfect end-game monitor as of 2023.Pros:-Impressive blacks for an IPS, considerably better than a conventional office monitor-Very bright-4k resolution, 144fps-Great build quality-Very glossy and clear finish-Easy to maneuver monitor settingsCons:-Color is not as impressive as my AMOLED laptop. This is expected for an IPS panel.-HDR is not worth using

My 4 big gripes are: 1) it can't autoscale to 144hz from a 60hz signal. You need 8k capable Displayport cable + a modern GPU to run the M28U at max refresh.2) The power / menu control is on the back of the monitor, up 3 inches from the bottom, very hard to get to when you have 3 of these together.3) It is SUPER BRIGHT.4) It ships with 3 ' cables. Not enough length to have 3 of them on your desk and your PC to the far side. One of the monitors will not reach with the supplied cable. Need to buy additional. The same with power as well.Otherwise this thing is a champion, well worth the $500 or so I paid for 3 of these in July of 2022. Already outclassing my existing Acer monitors that I got 5+ years ago.Things I really like:1) Price2) Nearly bezel-less design3) 1" more height compared to my prior 28" 4k monitors, due to reduction in bezel4) Lots of modes and presets5) Even at 60hz there is a big difference compared to my prior monitor that was stuck at 30hz 4k.

First biggest issue with this monitor is the color. I’ve probably spent 4-5 hours tinkering with all the settings to get it right and it just is always off. The out-of-the-box settings were horrid.Second biggest issue, an entire vertical line of pixels has gone out. Was changing colors and then settled on blue and kept flickering. It’s definitely not the cable or the GPU because I tested the monitor with a different cable and different computer and had the same problem. Unfortunately I bought the monitor over two months ago so now I have to try to RMA it. We’ll see what happens.

I purchased this for my high school son for Christmas. He and his brother (another gamer) love the monitor. It was crazy easy to assemble and very sturdy. You connect the monitor to the stand with a screw that has an attached piece that acts as a built in screwdriver. I loved not needing to find tools of my own to put this together. The graphics are incredible-very clear and crisp. The refresh rate is a lot higher than regular tv screens, which improves the gaming experience.

It's got a really nice picture, and the 144hz is awesome when gaming...but it's been a few months and I've already got three dead pixels. Kinda crappy it's just outside the warranty window. I'll keep using it because it cost too much to get rid of. Wish they had better quality control on this stuff.

Update: Don't buy if your electrical is a bit messed up. my bathroom lights turns off this monitor and not any other monitors i have hooked up. It's so annoying that when im doing work or playing games everything turns off. I'm still trying to figure out why it turns off & on like it forgot what input it is on. It's a great display but i'm so close to throwing this out my windowSince I bought this monitor, there hasn't been any significant issues. The FPS is higher than my 60hz and the HDR function looks fantastic with COD Warzone.There's a few issues in my opinion since it happens a lot during games. Since I have two monitors, if I turn it off, occasionally my PC will only recognize 1 and stack all my windows on to that screen. If I play League of Legends or COD, the monitor will try to adjust the resolution and FPS every time I close or switch to a different program. If you work with small artifacts like thin white lines, the screen's brightness will make it hard to see. It will try to adjust itself to the colors from dark to light by transitioning the brightness. This is hard for me when text are blurred are hard to read.Overall, i still think it's a good monitor. Plays cod. and warzone smoothly. Colors are fantastic. Honestly, if it wasn't for my first test i would've said this is the best picture quality I've seen on a monitor. It's no OLED since small blooming appeared on my test with Ado's new music video Tot Musica. But I prefer that than paying an extra 500 on a tv that would eventually get burn-in faster than the monitor.
