Question Which is the better monitor - - Gigabyte G27Q or Gigabyte G27QC ?

[martinceld]

I have no real knowledge at all about monitors. My friends just suggested these monitors to me based on my budget. I will be using an RX 6750 XT GPU. Mostly for gaming and watching movies/shows.

Would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

The C is curved, do you want a curved 16:9 aspect ratio display?

Generally speaking IPS panels are going to be better colors and viewing angle while VA will be better contrast and sometimes black uniformity.

Personally I'd never get a curved 16:9 display no matter how good it was.

I honestly don't know what a curved monitor even does haha I have never owned one. Thank you for the input!

The screen is literally curved instead of being flat take a look at the manufacturers page and they show it from overhead:
