The golden resolution for the majority of PC gamers is 1440p-4K. Many affordable graphics cards can push 1440p without much trouble, and 1440p gaming monitors are not that expensive these days.

Take a look at this product we found on Amazon: the 27-inch Gigabyte GS27Q is currently on sale for $170. That's $60 off the regular price and, as far as I can tell, the lowest price ever.

For this amount of money, it offers a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time. It's a solid foundation for any gaming rig screen, and when paired with AMD's FreeSync Premium Pro, most GPUs can be synchronized to the panel's refresh rate.

This screen uses one of Gigabyte's Super Speed IPS panels, similar to the two Gigabyte gaming monitors I use at home. Characteristics.

Gigabyte includes only a simple stand with this monitor. At the very least, this stand is very light and should take up little desk space. The screen also lacks the USB hub found on many Gigabyte gaming monitors, but for the money, this is not a major loss.

Overall, this monitor is further proof that 1440p is the resolution of choice for PC gaming in 2024.
