Our Verdict
Gigabyte G27QC
Lepow Z1 Gamut
The Lepow Z1 Gamut and the Gigabyte G27QC are very different monitors. The Lepow is a 15 inch, 1080p display designed for portable use with mobile devices, while the Gigabyte is a 27 inch, 1440p desktop gaming monitor. If you don't need the Lepow's portability, the Gigabyte is a better monitor because it has a bigger, higher-resolution screen, a higher refresh rate, and faster response times.
