AORUS CV27Q Curved HDR 165Hz Gaming Monitor Review

Performance
The panel has fantastic colours and contrast to it. In SDR there’s no noticeable backlight bleed or torching in the corners, which is good. Even with the backlight cranked up, the black levels are pretty damn impressive.
HDR
The HDR isn’t the brightness, at least compared to most high-end HDR TVs. However, when you’re sat this close to it, 400cdm is more than bright enough; especially on a night time when the lights are dimmed.
HDR support in Windows is still a dumpster fire, but watching HDR movies, NetFlix, YouTube and gaming is still a joy. Colours really pop and the picture is much richer and warmer than in SDR mode.
