Cooler Master GM27-CQS Gaming Monitor Review

Display Analysis

Considering this is, and I mean this politely, the cheaper model of the new Cooler Master range, slapping 91% of DCI-P3 on out-of-the-box settings is pretty fantastic, actually it’s 1% better than the rated specifications. Set the monitor to Warm mode, and you can nudge it a tiny bit higher too, and the picture quality is just sublime.

Extremely close to the expected 2.2, and again, just a really fantastic result overall here.

The grey ramp looks like a wild ride, but really the overall deviance isn’t that bad, and at the beginning middle and end, it’s broadly the same. It’s leaning a little towards the blue end, but again, my personal suggestion is to set the colour temperature to warm, as it seems like an overall good improvement, but a warmer or cooler picture is a bit subjective, so it’s up to you.

Under 5 Delta-E is regarded as good, under 3 Delta-E it’s hard for the human eye to spot colour inaccuracies, and under 1 is pretty much in professional colour grading territory. So, with that in mind, getting an average of 1.23 Delta-E on stock out-of-the-box uncalibrated settings is pretty much bonkers, and a rare thing indeed outside of significantly more expensive models. I normally calibrate at this point, but honestly, there’s no point, it’s set up nicely already!
