If the Gigabyte M27Q P is not quite right, these are the Monitors we would look at instead, and the specific reason you might prefer each one.
Why you might look elsewhere
The most common reason people move on from the Gigabyte M27Q P is straightforward: the stand only tilts. If that is a problem for how you work, one of the alternatives below will suit you better.
The alternatives

|---|---|---|---|
| Dell UltraSharp U2724DE | £549 | 5 / 5 | IPS Black doubles the contrast of a normal IPS without OLED burn-in risk |
| LG UltraFine 32UN880 | £599 | 4 / 5 | The ergo arm is included and saves £150 on a separate one |
| Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 | £1099 | 4 / 5 | True blacks that no LCD gets near |
| BenQ PD2706U | £549 | 4 / 5 | Factory calibrated with a printed report in the box |
| Asus ProArt PA279CRV | £429 | 4 / 5 | 99% Adobe RGB at this price is unmatched |
If you want to spend less
The AOC 24G2SPU at £149 saves you £150. You give up some capability, but it delivers 165Hz and a full ergonomic stand for £149.
If you can stretch further
The Dell UltraSharp U2724DE at £549 costs £250 more and adds iPS Black doubles the contrast of a normal IPS without OLED burn-in risk.

The cost of switching
Changing manufacturer is rarely just the price difference. Budget for the accessories that will not carry over, an afternoon of migration, and a fortnight of not knowing where anything is. On Gigabyte hardware specifically, the things that transfer least well are the settings you configured once and forgot about — they are invisible until they are missing. None of that is a reason to stay put, but it is a reason not to switch over a specification you would struggle to explain to someone else.
When to stay with the Gigabyte M27Q P
It remains the right choice if you are a dual-purpose work and gaming desk on a budget. Nothing in this list beats it on that specific point.
