Gigabyte GS27QA — 27" 1440p 180Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

🖥️ Gigabyte GS27QA — 27" 1440p 180Hz IPS

A proper gaming monitor without overpaying for the screen versus the PC.

The GS27QA is the monitor we'd recommend pairing with a budget gaming build. The 1440p resolution keeps games sharp at a sensible desk distance, the 180Hz refresh rate gives you a real edge in competitive titles, and the IPS panel keeps colours accurate enough for single-player games and everyday use. A monitor you can keep for years and years without needing to upgrade.

💡 PC36 tip

The GS27QA has a tilt-only stand. If you want height and swivel adjustment, a separate desk arm or VESA mount (around £20-£40) gives you a wider range of adjustment and a cleaner cable run. Worth considering if your desk setup needs the monitor higher than its fixed stand allows.

👁️ Transparency notes

• This is an entry-level "HDR Ready" panel rather than DisplayHDR-certified — expect modest HDR improvements rather than the dramatic contrast of OLED or mini-LED panels. For most buyers at this price point, this is the right trade-off.
• 180Hz is a strong refresh rate but not the highest available — buyers playing serious competitive shooters (Valorant, CS2, Apex at semi-pro level) may benefit from a higher-refresh panel like the ASRock PG27QFW2A or above.
• Product images are representative — your monitor will arrive in standard Gigabyte retail packaging.

🎯 What is this monitor best for?

• Budget-to-mid-range gaming PCs running 1440p comfortably
• Buyers stepping up from a TV or 1080p monitor for the first time
• A mix of competitive and single-player gaming without specialising in either
• Reliable, no-surprises everyday use as well as gaming
