Windows ClearType (top photo) makes diagonal lines look better, like on the R and N. The Gigabyte M27Q has decent text clarity. We've also included more photos to show how text looks like at 100% and 125% scaling, with and without ClearType, and with the monitor upside down. If it is, you can mount the monitor upside down, although there are some drawbacks as it increases input lag and causes G-SYNC to not work properly. In most instances, text clarity is minimally impacted and shouldn't be an issue for most people.

Update : We've retested the monitor to further investigate the BGR sub-pixel layout's effect on text clarity. This means that blurry text isn't caused by the BGR sub-pixel layout. It appears that macOS doesn't use sub-pixel dimming in any of the apps we tested, which includes Safari, TextEdit, Notes, Finder, and Chrome. Update : We tested text clarity with a MacBook running on Big Sur. The BGR subpixel layout isn't an issue in apps that support ClearType, but there are many apps that don't, and text clarity is an issue in those apps. Update : We decreased the text clarity score from 7.5 to 7.0. We've retested the monitor to further investigate the BGR sub-pixel layout's effect on text clarity. We tested text clarity with a MacBook running on Big Sur.

We decreased the text clarity score from 7.5 to 7.0, as the BGR subpixel layout can be an issue for some users. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog.Ĭhecked the BFI range and checked a motion issue. Updated to Test Bench 1.2, resulting in changes to the results and scores with the Response Time and Input Lag. We tested the monitor with the PS5's new variable refresh rate feature and confirmed that it's not compatible, since the PS5 only supports HDMI Forum VRR. We added a few relevant comparisons to this review. We bought and tested the HP X27q, which is a similar budget gaming monitor.
