GIGABYTE, the world's leading computer brand, announced the availability of M27UP, its first Tactical Dual-Mode gaming monitor. With seamless switching between 4K 160 Hz and FHD 320 Hz, this 27-inch SS IPS display is built for both immersive visuals and lightning-fast gameplay.

At the heart of M27UP is GIGABYTE's exclusive Tactical Dual-Mode. With just one press of the Tactical Switch 2.0 physical button, users can instantly switch from a full 27-inch view to a focused 24-inch display, to 4:3 or 5:4 ratios with doubled refresh rate for precision gaming. It is a flexible solution for AAA titles, fast-paced shooters, and content streaming alike.




M27UP features 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1 ms GTG response, DisplayHDR 400, ensuring vivid color accuracy and low-latency visuals. The newly added AI Picture Mode intelligently enhances contrast, brightness, and detail based on content, with six optimized presets: FPS, MOBA, Movie, Racing, RPG, and Reader. In addition, Smart OD automatically adjusts overdrive based on refresh rate, significantly reducing motion blur and ghosting. Full G-SYNC Compatible support and seamless integration with the latest GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs using DLSS 4 ensure a tear-free, fluid 4K gaming experience.



Designed for performance and stability, M27UP features a fanless four-sided thermal solution and an ultra-slim 2 mm metal base to maintain stability even under prolonged operation. It also includes KVM, USB-C smart charging up to 45 W, and built-in 5 W dual speakers, making it a versatile hub for multi-device setups.

Combining tactical flexibility with high refresh rate and premium 4K visuals, the GIGABYTE M27UP offers an unmatched level of freedom for competitive gamers and multitaskers alike.

Currently the only IPS dual-mode monitor that has proper integer scaling for the FHD mode is the Alienware AW2725QF. The models from other manufacturers (ViewSonic XG275D-4K, ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG, etc.) apparently implement this feature wrong.

None of the OLED dual-mode monitors (even my LG 32GS95UE-B) do this correctly.

EDIT: The models from the other manufacturers seem to use the same IPS panel, but their display controller implementation is not the same. I tested the Alienware, ViewSonic and Strix myself and found that the Alienware did it properly (e.g. receives a 1080p signal and renders it at 1080p properly with all pixels doubled, not blurry)

That's a real shame I really can't understand, it's much easier and faster to do integer scalling than to do pixel interpolation, why don't they get this right!?

I honestly don't know. I know Alienware has been making strides (at least with their monitors) lately, but I didn't expect them to be the first to implement dual-mode 4K/FullHD right.
 
Ever since I bought the 32QC Gigabyte have been my go to for Monitors.
