27" Gigabyte AORUS AD27QD gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Gigabyte AD27QD has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Gigabyte AD27QD has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. The brightness of Gigabyte AD27QD is significantly better than other monitors. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor has a VESA mount. The Gigabyte AD27QD is a relatively new monitor. In terms of pixel density, the Gigabyte AD27QD has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. For graphics color quality, the Gigabyte AD27QD has an excellent color depth of 10 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The Gigabyte AD27QD has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1063 : 1. The minimum response rate of Gigabyte AD27QD is 6.6 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. Gigabyte AD27QD has a total input lag of 20.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. For the average response rate, the Gigabyte AD27QD scores 13 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate.
