About this product
The GIGABYTE GS27QA SA1 is a 27-inch IPS gaming monitor with QHD 2560x1440 resolution, 180Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, AMD FreeSync Premium, and HDR readiness. It features anti-glare coating, DisplayPort input, and a 3-year warranty. Priced at $149.00.
Our take
The GS27QA SA1 is an affordable IPS gaming monitor with a 27-inch 1440p 180Hz panel. The colors and viewing angles are great thanks to IPS, and the 1ms response ensures minimal motion blur. FreeSync Premium helps eliminate tearing. However, the contrast ratio is only 1000:1, typical for IPS, so blacks aren't deep. Brightness is unspecified but likely around 300 nits. For $149, it's an incredible value for high-refresh 1440p gaming. The included DisplayPort is a nice touch.
