Our Verdict
Gigabyte G27Q
Gigabyte M27Q P
The Gigabyte M27Q P is a higher-end model compared to the Gigabyte G27Q. While the M27Q P has a higher 170Hz refresh rate than the G27Q, the main difference comes down to their ports and features. The M27Q P has a USB-C port and a KVM switch, making it easy to multitask with different computers, which the G27Q doesn't have. The M27Q P also has much better motion handling, but the G27Q has lower input lag with 60Hz signals.
