Our Verdict
ASUS VG279QM
Gigabyte G27QC
The ASUS VG279QM is much better than the Gigabyte G27QC for most uses. Although the ASUS has a lower 1080p resolution, it has a much higher refresh rate of 280Hz, significantly faster response time, wider viewing angles, and higher peak brightness. The Gigabyte has a 1440p resolution, and its higher contrast ratio makes it better for gaming in the dark.
