Our Verdict

Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0)

HP X27q

The Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0) is a much better gaming monitor than the HP X27q. The Gigabyte has a faster response time, especially at lower refresh rates, resulting in much clearer motion with less blur around fast-moving objects. The Gigabyte also has better compatibility with the Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles, as it can display a downscaled 4k image.
