Hello
I narrowed my search to these two monitors and need some advice
Both are 27", 1440p, IPS, G-sync compatible
Differences:
  1. Is there a big difference? XRGB27WQ boasts to be natively 10 bit Q27G2S/EU is only 8 bit + FRC
    1. https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/afa328f0
    2. https://www.awd-it.co.uk/xrgb27wq-27-1440p-ips-165hz-freesync-g-sync-dp-hdmi-rgb-gaming-monitor.html
    3. https://www.amazon.co.uk/XRGB27WQ-F...rs&sprefix=xrgb27wq+,computers,84&sr=1-1&th=1
  2. XRGB27WQ is 5ms, Q27G2S/EU is 1ms. 5ms seems big as in able to create ghosting
  3. XRGB27WQ boasts that one of its DP ports is 1.4 which is needed. Does it really? Q27G2S/EU claims a DP 1.4 as well. Do I need the extra HDMI or DP port each has?
  4. Are XRGB27WQ specs accurate or false? Seems too good for its price
  5. Which one is best for gaming?
 
https://www.rtings.com/monitor - this is one of the best sites to compare monitor specs.
For mainstream monitors yes, not these ones. Q27G2S/EU (not reviewed) has some differences to Q27G2S (reviewed), like HDR Mode and other features, and DP 1.4. XRGB27WQ is not found on this site either but my gut sais it's a rebranded no name Chinese monitor or something, given very similar specs and price, so not much of a choice here :) Q27G2S/EU seems only slightly better for gaming
