Gigabyte GS27FC 27-inch 1080p gaming monitor with 180Hz and 1ms

The Gigabyte G27FC gaming monitor, which made its debut in 2020, is now receiving a successor. The Gigabyte GS27FC, a 27-inch 1080p gaming monitor, has arrived with notable upgrades. Designed to cater to avid video gamers, it boasts a substantial size, a high refresh rate, a low response time, and, notably, a curved display for enhanced immersion.

Hailing from the manufacturer Gigabyte, the GS27FC touts impressive features. This 27-inch 1080p gaming monitor flaunts a remarkable maximum refresh rate of 180 Hz, ensuring a seamless gaming experience. The response time is quantified at a mere 1 ms, specified as the MPRT value. Leveraging FreeSync Premium, the monitor aligns its image display with the graphics card’s output, effectively combating issues like tearing.

The monitor’s resolution stands at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, which, when coupled with the expansive 27-inch panel, results in a relatively coarse screen appearance. The display curvature boasts a radius of 1,500 millimeters, a design decision that fosters an immersive visual experience. On a positive note, the GC27FC can better exploit its potential in terms of refresh rates due to its lower, native resolution, making it suitable for owners of less robust hardware.

Gigabyte asserts that the monitor is HDR Ready, although the specified typical brightness of a mere 250 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 3,000:1 cast doubts on the effectiveness of its HDR rendering. The remaining features are relatively basic; the model supports tilting but lacks rotation or height adjustment capabilities. However, a VESA mount option is available.

For connectivity, the GS27FC accommodates image signals via DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 interfaces. Several gaming-oriented functionalities are included, such as the option to display a crosshair or enhance visibility in darker areas of the image.
