Our Verdict
INNOCN 27M2V
Gigabyte M27U
The Gigabyte M27U and the INNOCN 27M2V are 4k gaming monitors, but they have a few differences. The INNOCN delivers better picture quality thanks to its improved local dimming feature, as it displays deeper blacks and brighter highlights than the Gigabyte. However, motion looks better on the Gigabyte thanks to its quicker response time, and it has lower input lag with 60 fps signals.
