Question 1

Is this compatible with G-sync like other Freesync monitors are?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have this monitor and you can set up G-SYNC in NVIDIA Control Panel allowing you to enable it with this monitor.

Question 2

Is this monitor 2560 x 1440 (2K) or is that a typo?  I'm asking because when I look everywhere else for this monitor they all say 1920 x 1080.

Accepted Answer

You're looking at the wrong model elsewhere then, because I just looked and literally everywhere else ALSO says 2560x1440. And it is indeed 2560x1440, 165Hz.

If you're looking into buying a monitor you need to take better care to actually make sure you're noting correct model numbers.

Question 3

How stable is the stand? Does the monitor wobble around a lot if you bump your desk?

Accepted Answer

The stand is stable and has good weight to it.  The monitor shakes a bit if you give the desk a good bump but nothing to be concerned about in my opinion or anything I have ever considered.  Between work and gaming the desk and monitor get plenty of use and have been working great!

Question 4

Can this run 1440 at 120hz on Xbox Series x?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I was able to get it to run on Xbox series X at 2k and 120hz with variable refresh.  Keep in mind not all games are going to be able to run up to 120hz so the freesync is important.  Also I had to disable HDR.   I could not get HDR to work along with a refresh rate higher than 60.   In the xbox settings disable HDR and enable 4k.   It is a little tricky to get it working right but can be done.

Question 5

How does this Monitor handle 30-60FPS? I am planning to use it for all my gaming, that means console as well.

Accepted Answer

Your FPS is going to be determined by your GPU, not your monitor. Now, compared to 60 Hz, fixed-refresh monitors, this should feel more responsive since it refreshes at 165 Hz, and you have the option of enabling FreeSync as well on AMD GPUs.

Question 6

Will this work at 2560 x 1440 as a second display on an iMac 27" 5K?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will. There are two things to keep in mind. The first is that this has an aspect ratio of 16:9 instead of the iMac's 16:10 so your Mac's display will be slightly taller and there will be a resolution difference as well.

Question 7

What is the display colors? 16.7m or 1.07 billion? I can't seem to find this anywhere.

Accepted Answer

16.7m. It's not a wide-gamut monitor. Also, it literally took two seconds to find that information. displayspecifications (the website) is your friend, try it some time.

Question 8

Will this curved monitor work for my office work like word processing and Excel, as well as gaming?

Accepted Answer

That's a weird question. Why wouldn't it work? It's a monitor. You don't even notice it's curved unless you're viewing it from some crazy angle. I use it for productivity far more than I use it for gaming.

That said, I would actually recommend the G32QC from Gigabyte over this monitor. I own both. The G32QC is wide-gamut, which means it has FAR better colors than the VG27WQ is remotely capable of, it has a far higher peak brightness, it has Freesync Premium Pro instead of regular Freesync, it's 32 inches instead of 27, it's got a 165Hz refresh rate the exact same as the VG27WQ, etc. Basically, it has everything the VG27WQ has, only it's better, has wide-gamut colors, and it's 32 inches instead of 27.

Oh. And it's 30 dollars cheaper and also available on Newegg.

Question 9

Does this monitor have USB ports?

Accepted Answer

No sorry mine does not have USB ports.

Question 10

What cables does it come with? HDMI, DP?

Accepted Answer

It comes with one of each.
