Recently, I brought you a review of the Cooler Master Tempest GP27Q Mini-LED Gaming monitor (here), by far one of the best, if not the actual best monitor I’ve ever tested. However, with its 4K panel, it wasn’t cheap, costing roughly £800… not exactly chump change for a 27″ monitor… but wow, it’s worth it. However, running games at 4K and high refresh rates isn’t easily achieved, so for many gamers, I think the GP27Q is the monitor that will prove the more popular of the two, it’s very similar with a few small feature changes, but most importantly it’s a 2K panel (2560×1440) and it’s about 300 quid cheaper at just £499.99.
The Tempest series are like a hotdog with everything on it, which is to say, they have a LOT of features. A WQHD resolution is plenty of pixels for a 27″ gaming monitor. However, the swift 165Hz refresh rate (my personal favourite refresh rate), an UltraFast IPS panel with 1<ms response times, and Adaptive Sync make this a serious contender for competitive gaming. However, extremely accurate colours in SDR and HDR modes, and a swanky backlight that has 576 individual zones means that it’s in a league of its own compared to most gaming monitor (which are usually edge-lit), giving it the brightness of a QLED with the black levels closer to an OLED.
