While the M27Q P has a higher 170Hz refresh rate than the G27Q, the main difference comes down to their ports and features. The LG has a higher resolution than the Gigabyte, but the difference in sharpness might not be noticeable for most people at typical viewing distances. One way of fixing this is by using Windows HDR calibration, and HDR looks better at lower brightness signals. On the other hand, the Gigabyte gets brighter to combat glare, displays a wider range of colors in HDR, and offers more features, like USB-C input and a Picture-in-Picture mode.

However, besides that, the first version has an advantage in most areas, as it gets brighter and has a faster response time, leading to less motion blur. Still, it limits the peak brightness, so it's meant for editing content in a dim or dark environment. It also has significantly better ergonomics, making it easier to position the screen the way you want.

If you often game in the dark, the G27QC might be a better choice because it has a VA panel that can produce deep blacks. The MSI uses an RGB subpixel layout, which is used in more programs than the BGR subpixel layout on the Gigabyte, so this helps with text clarity. The Gigabyte has a slightly higher refresh rate of 170Hz compared to the ASUS' 165Hz, and its response time is significantly faster, especially in dark scenes. It also has wider viewing angles, gets brighter to combat glare, and offers more features like USB-C input, a Picture-in-Picture mode, and an integrated KVM.
