I honestly don't buy a monitor until I've seen one of your reviews. Keep the good stuff coming.

[mapsofbeing]

it's impressive how your reviews are so well-done I keep watching them despite already having the monitor I want for the foreseeable future

[MertTatarr]

I bought MAG274QRX after your positive review and am very happy with it. This monitor looks good as well. Thank you for the reviews!

[FunkyTwn]

This seems like a great monitor, but it being compared to the GIGABYTE M27Q-X at every turn makes me really happy that I picked that one up last year when you recommended it. It's been fantastic and the price has only continued to go up since I bought it. Surprisingly Newegg and Amazon are currently carrying the M27Q-X after not having it for months.

I really appreciate you making these reviews and helping to keep us informed! A ton of value in the way you present the information and compare it across the market. Thanks, Tim!

[Xyrium]

Not only does the MSI perform well, but if the M27Q X is it's closest competitor, the 100 USD price difference easily justifies any negligible difference, especially when the MSI seems to equal or exceed the performance of the M27Q X. Thank you for bringing this to us, this one is definitely on my radar, may even be suitable as a mixed usage monitor.

[richarde]

The contrast ratio is especially surprising, even if it isn't comparable to other panels.

I own a monitor with a lower contrast ratio (despite everything else being excellent) and it's especially noticeable in horror games.

[phasechange]

Yea my last 2 monitors were near 1000$ and the AW is about this spec better latency. and the Benq is bigger but slower than this.
Im starting to feel just buy the best 400-500$ monitor you can get and then upgrade in a few years later is the way to go.
When you spend 1000+ it really brings on buyers remourse.

[sabawialnassiri]

That overdrive though Oof, maybe the Asus Tuf (VG27AQML1A) will be a better option for not that much more money, it would be great if you can take a look at it in the future

[dakrawnik]

Seems every monitor this guy reviews has a conclusion that says it's okay to buy after showing a lot of red in the response time and ghosting section.
Soooo confusing!

[prinzseptimii]

recently bought this off newegg per your review for $349. great 240hz no issues/complaints. this, the M34WQ and M27Q-P all per your recommendations have been brilliant! keep up the reviews and good work! 🧡💙 (edit: one of these days I'll buy one of your OLEDs :) )

[IndyMiraaga]

$150 more for an Odyssey G7 a year and a half ago, given I haven't had nearly as many issues with QC as other users with that monitor makes me not regret the purchase at all. It's good to see budget monitors in the higher-end side of displays, but I wouldn't trade the incredibly-good contrast or variable overdrive of my G7 for anything but an OLED at this point. And I'm not touching OLED until we can ensure burn-in becomes a non-issue.

[peterd.]

240Hz and still has worse response (or overdrive artifacts) than the good old 165Hz model MAG274QRF-QD, unbelievable...

[ruins]

Hp Omen 27QS for $349.99 from Best Buy’s here in US… so far so good

[SpamNinja]

Just bought it, looks great! Definitely worth it for the specs

[PoRRasturvaT]

Could you have a look by any chance at the Innocn 27g1s? 1440p 240Hz, It's a VA panel but I have seen reports of its overdrive mode giving very fast transitions.
4000:1 contrast ratio without ghosting would be game changer.
Especially at its price.

[juanblanco]

Manageable accuracy and contrast ratio have got me interested, but that minimum brightness is ridiculous... It can't even display at reference 100 nits, what the hell? And it's definitely too bright for even a remotely dim surround lighting. Well, YMMV, but A LOT of people are used to unreasonably high brightness so that won't be a deal-breaker for them, but...

[igano]

I hope you'll do a review for the new Dell Alienware AW2724DM. Looks promising, but no in-depth review that I can trust yet.

[Windalf]

i would love a review of the new Alienware 27” – AW2724DM 1440p 180hz
