About this product
The Cooler Master Tempest GP27Q is a 27-inch QHD IPS gaming monitor with 165Hz refresh rate and 2ms response time.

Our take
The GP27Q impresses with its Quantum Dot IPS panel delivering vibrant colors and high brightness. 1000 cd/m² is excellent for HDR and well-lit rooms. The 165Hz refresh rate is smooth, and the 2ms response time is responsive enough for most gamers. The 50000:1 contrast ratio is better than typical IPS, though not as deep as OLED. Built-in speakers are handy. At $400, it's a great mid-range QHD monitor with features that justify the price.
