Our Verdict

ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A

Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0)

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A and the Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0) are very similar 1440p gaming monitors with a 170Hz refresh rate. Gaming-wise, the Gigabyte performs better because it has a faster response time, at max refresh rate and 60Hz. It also has wider viewing angles, gets brighter to combat glare, and offers more features like USB-C input, a Picture-in-Picture mode, and an integrated KVM.
