Product Information

MPRT adjusts the brightness for blur reduction, so the brightness cannot be adjusted while MPRT is turned on. It has good text clarity, and its 27-inch screen size is big enough to open two windows next to each other.

While it's designed as a gaming monitor, it also has features for productivity like Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes, and it has a KVM switch that makes it easy to swap between two sources while using the same keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor. This allows you to control two different computers with a single keyboard and mouse, which can be useful for multi-tasking or productivity.The Gigabyte supports HDR and has a much wider color gamut, and it also gets a lot brighter to combat glare. The Gigabyte has a better response time, especially in dark transitions, so it doesn't have the dark smearing present on the MSI. On the other hand, the Gigabyte has a few extra productivity features, like a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and a KVM switch. The biggest difference is that the Gigabyte is a native FreeSync monitor with G-SYNC compatibility, while the ASUS is a native G-SYNC monitor and doesn't support FreeSync. The Gigabyte has a few extra features, like a KVM switch, that make it useful for productivity, but the MSI has better ergonomics.

One computer needs to be connected via USB-C using DisplayPort Alt Mode, while you can connect the other over HDMI or DisplayPort, with the USB-B to USB-A cable going to the computer. The main difference is that the first version has a BGR subpixel layout, while the second version has an RGB subpixel layout. The LG has a slightly faster refresh rate, which translates to a slightly better response time as well.It has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, a wider color gamut, and more features, like USB ports, HDR support, a Picture-in-Picture mode, and a built-in KVM switch. The Gigabyte has a higher resolution to produce a sharper image, and it also delivers a smoother gaming experience due to its higher refresh rate and faster response time. The artifacts forged with this fabled method are astonishingly powerful and sport a unique and intricate design.

It has wide viewing angles so that images remain accurate when viewing off-center, but it lacks swivel adjustment, which might make it harder to share your screen depending on your setup.For those who want to enjoy the most out of the video games, especially the fast-paced ones like FPS or sports games, you should opt for a 144Hz or higher monitor. Also, while its response time isn't as good as the M27Q's, it's still great and should satisfy most gamers. It's well-suited for bright rooms because it fights glare easily; however, it isn't ideal for dark rooms due to its low contrast ratio. Therefore, the League of Legends edition monitor is equipped with top-notch features such as a 170 Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time.
