Gigabyte M27Q (27" 1440p 170Hz SS IPS, KVM)
The Gigabyte M27Q is a 27-inch 1440p IPS panel at 170Hz with a built-in KVM and USB-C, letting you drive two PCs from one keyboard and mouse. It's a strong value all-rounder in the enthusiast tier for high-refresh productivity and gaming. Be aware its BGR subpixel layout softens text for strict sRGB color work, and it's not an HDR display.
