Gigabyte M27Q
Only one whitelisted lab review qualified: Tom's Hardware. It rates the M27Q a fast, high-value 170 Hz QHD IPS monitor with measured >400 nits brightness, 1,118.9:1 contrast, and an exceptionally low 22 ms input lag. Downsides: lackluster HDR and Aim Stabilizer ghosting. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Very low input lag (22 ms measured) and fast 170 Hz gaming performance; Strong value for the price; Large color gamut (over 100% DCI-P3) with accurate sRGB mode.
Flagged: Aim Stabilizer blur-reduction introduces significant ghosting; Lackluster HDR with no extra contrast in HDR mode; DCI-P3 red is slightly under-saturated.
