The Gigabyte AORUS FI27Q-X is excellent for gaming. It has a high 240Hz refresh rate that results in an incredible response time for smooth motion. It has native FreeSync support with G-SYNC compatibility, and the input lag is very low. Sadly, it's not the best for dark room gaming because its IPS panel has a low contrast ratio and bad black uniformity.
Particularly attractive to those seeking vibrant colour output or wishing to make use of the colour reproduction capability for creative purposes. And looking for strong responsiveness at the same time. Some nice additions like reduced ‘IPS glow’ and an agreeable screen surface thrown might help sweeten the deal, too.
The only caveat we can see for the Aorus FI27Q-X aside from its limited contrast and HDR is the price. It’s currently sold at £645 in the UK, and that equates to almost $900 in the US. It’s a fantastic and very capable gaming display, but you have to pay top dollar to own it.
