Gigabyte AD27QD vs Asus TUF VG27AQ

[Tausif Ahmed]

Please help me choose between these two monitors. Both of their specifications are nearly identical, so i am not quite sure about which one to opt for.

Both of them meets my requirements (144hz, 1440p) and any other features that are mutually exclusive doest not concern me really.

So now, the deciding factor for me is the vividness of the display. Which monitor would give me the most accurate colors and experience overall? 

Thanks you!

I can vouch for the AD27QD, it's a really gorgeous monitor with vibrant colors, the 10 bit mode is pretty appealing. 

 

Also, not sure if Asus has sorted out the production issues on their high end monitors yet

I can vouch for the gigabyte (have one myself). Colours look so stunning and vibrant, and have nothing bad to say about it.

I heard you that can't run the 10bit color mode while running the monitor at 144hz? is it true?

yes, the 10 bit mode limits the refresh rate to 120Hz, but this is not a severe problem.

Running at 120hz while playing non competitive games doesnt sound quite bad. I too am leaning towards buying the gigabyte monitor, since a lot of its users are a big fan. Would you suggest any calibration in the monitor OSD/Nvidia control panel that needs to be done once i get the monitor? Any video or any suggestion would be a great help!

You should mess with some settings in the OSD just to see what works for you, and in terms of nvidia control panel, I believe 60Hz is set by default so you'd need to change that.

Are the default settings in the nvida contro pannel/ monitor osd enough to get good colors? did you do any intensive calibrations?

Nope. Did sweet fuck all to be honest. There’s a huge amount of settings in the OSD.
