GIGABYTE M Series Monitor with KVM | Product Overview

[@DouglasABailey]

This video was no help at all but I downloaded and read the instructions re KVM. First, plug your keyboard and mouse into the USB-A ports. You can have 4 video inputs, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, DP, and USB-C. But, you can only switch your Keyboard and Mouse between two devices. By default when you select USB-C as your video source the Keyboard and Mouse will be sent down that USB-C connection. And when you choose HDMI 1 source, the keyboard and mouse will be sent out the USB-B port. So run a cable from the USB-B port to your HDMI 1 source. Note: In the display settings, you can choose if it's actually HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 or DP that has your second device that will need the Keyboard and Mouse. Hope that helps someone.

[@DouglasABailey]

@Debasish Dutta I can only answer part. There are two USB-A ports to plug in a keyboard and mouse. There is one USB-B port for the mouse/keyboard data to go out to a computer. There is one USB-C port to connect to a computer to send keyboard/mouse and receive video. I don't know if the keyboard/mouse data would be sent to a tablet plugged into the USB-C.

[@fredysonrisas]

Completely agree with you, friend. If you want to test if the monitor's KVM works ... this video doesn't help you at all. Thanks for your input. I bought the Gigabyte M34WC a week ago and I was looking for a way to check if everything works properly before the date of a possible return for some malfunction passes. Thanks again.

[@DouglasABailey]

@@fredysonrisas you're welcome. I got an M32 something and I like it. Haven't actually used the KVM part yet though. 😄

[@OverLord-OvLd]

Thank you for your information. One question: Regarding your text, that means I need 4 Cables? Example in my situation: Work Laptop: USB + HDMI Private PC: USB + DP Connect all to the monitor and corresponding device. Choose first device as my PC (DP) and second the laptop (HDMI1), to both the USB-A cables from the monitor and nothing more? In my opinion that is not very good, because the best would be when I can connect my laptop with the USB-C, less cables but that is not possible If I understood it right. Thank you.

[@DouglasABailey]

@@OverLord-OvLd I have double checked images of the ports and I can be more clear: You can switch the Keyboard and Mouse between two different devices but one of those must be connected via USB-C. We know this because there is only one other port on the monitor which can send the Keyboard and Mouse data to a other device. (Your HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 or DP device.) I don't believe this in-built KVM switch can help you if one of your devices can't take USB-C.

I've recently gotten this M27Q and been using it for about a week. The M27Q is basically a refresh of AD27QD BUT with no RGB. 1440p with 170hz, 140% sRGB, this monitor is really no joke. Get this, and you'll not regret it for the next 5 years.

Unfortunately, if you install the OSD Sidekick it also installs RGB Fusion (no way around this) and it will install it with every update. This in turns affects ASUS, Razer or any other RGB software you already have. You manually have to uninstall RGB Fusion and hope you get back your control of RGB.

No clue. I thought this video would be an explanation of the feature. Turns out it just sells the idea of a kvm, glosses over how to actually use it by simply saying plug in a usb c and then tries to sell me on using my phone with a monitor. What the fuck

[@BoyanTerziev]

You need somehow to forward the mouse/keyboard to the two devices, one is connected via upsteam usb cable (the PC) and the other via USB-C (the laptop), the USB-C passes picture and mouse/keyboard signal, it also charges the laptop. The second device should be connected via USB-C, otherwise the KWM won't work.

[@UltraTaco223]

It has to be USB-C to share the USB peripherals, like the KB and mouse. You cant send that over a DP or HDMI cable lol

[@elshanka7729]

Im interesting in this monitor and checking the manual I understand that the KVM function is done between USB-C and USB-B ports, but if you have HDMI o DP ports, you must have a kind of "link" or "bound" those HDMI/DP ports to USB-c or B.

I have a macbook pro on my first system and my second system will be my gaming rig thats on the way. The gaming pc would be connected via display port, and I wanted to connect the macbook pro via usb c to hdmi to take advantage of the 144hz refresh. When I connect with the usb c to hdmi on the m27q the mouse and keyboard wont work, but it works just fine using the usb c to usb type c. Not a huge deal breaker if this is not possible, but it is kind of a bummer as the usb type c from the macbook to the m27q caps at 60hz.

[@flashattack]

Did you ever resolve this? I'm in the same position. USB C is capped to 30hz for my 2020 Macbook Pro, so not worth it. I do USB C to Mini Displayport. And my Gaming machine is HDMI 2.1

[@sk1ppman]

@@flashattack You have to connect it via USB C or there is no USB connection between your keyboard/mouse and the computer. The USB 3.0 connection from the monitor goes to whichever computer is using the DisplayPort/HDMI. You need a USB path to the other computer, hence the USB C. Now I don't know if you can assign one of the other display inputs to the USB C interface in the menu, which would let you use HDMI at 100hz and the KVM functionality but I expect it might.

[@haraldsono]

@@sk1ppman Does this mean that the ‘USB connection’ to what I understand is considered the main computer from the monitor’s point of view is carried over DisplayPort? Trying to wrap my head around how this ‘KVM’ works as. My setup is probably going to be: Dual USB-C from my MacBook Pro to each monitor. Dual DisplayPort from my gaming PC to each monitor. Then hopefully my second monitor can function as a USB hub, while the Gigabyte one can function as a KVM.

It is horrible, when you hit the button to switch, you need to hit on the keyboard and other buttons to give a signal so the monitor is actually switching. sometimes you have to click that, or that, or that multiple times to work. So basically, it doesnt receive a signal right away, but when you press something so this monitor SHOULD get a signal, it sometimes does and sometimes doesn‘t. I don‘t like it and it costs a lot of nerves whenever I wan‘t to switch between macos and windows.

Hello, I am interesten in the Gigabyte m27q model. Could you confirm whether this monitor supports 4k input from a PS5 console? The reason I ask is that the PS5 does not output 1440p. The monitors from MSI have a console mode where it accepts a 4k signal and scales down to 1440p. Thus the image looks sharper than 1080p video signal scaled to 1440p.

[@deher9110]

no get a 4k tv or sum

Should I get this or the VG27AQ?

[@hl_currux]

get this one

[@bathamster4701]

@@maverick7376 is the vg27aq1a better at 60hz?

[@roxy_xcxc6869]

Gigabyte SUPER Smooth. Much better than Asus, LG & .Dell...., the worst monitor we seen is MSI monitor like putting a clear plastic bag in front of your screen. MSI style.

[@yakacm]

Right OK, but this video is about as illuminating as the manual, IE not very illuminating at all. How does it actually work? Is it some kind of intelligence test, or did the engineers not translate the instructions from Chinese to English, so no one at Gigabyte actually know what to do with this feature either?

Is keyboard video mouse the answer?

Do you know why my usb-c isn’t giving any display from my iPhone?

[@NarratorLP]

bcs apple doesn't support it.

[@droptine12]

@@NarratorLP oh is this a new change?

[@NarratorLP]

@@droptine12 Not as far as I know

[@droptine12]

@@NarratorLP reason I ask is because it says it works with IOS so it's just confusing. I thought they used the iPhone in the video.

[@NarratorLP]

@@droptine12 it’s an Android phone in the video and an iPad. Probably it works after an iOS update, but Apple closed the OS as far as they could :D

[@everistusaime6036]

Would this support ps5 which has a hdmi 2.1?

[@Joe-hb6ek]

Hey dont worry hdmi 2.1 to 2.0 input is backwards compatible. You should be good to go.

[@Sportsman134]

can i connect this monitor to my pc and touchscreen surface laptop, and then use the touchscreen surface laptop as a secondary touchscreen monitor to my PC I doubt it because on its own, the surface’s usb-c only allows it to be an external signal (not as an internal touchscreen display sourced from something else)

[@thechrissmartin]

The BGR panel on M27Q is kinda concerning for me as I'm a developer who wants to do gaming on the side. I have seen many reports that the BGR arrangement has led to blurry text, which is not really ideal for coding, particularly on Mac (Based on user reviews).

[@ethanlopez109]

I have the M27Q, using it right now, and I code. I don't see blurry text, the 1440p resolution is miles ahead to 1080p and the 170Hz are incredible. No problem with text.

[@thechrissmartin]

@@ethanlopez109 mm interesting and If you are using mac...can you confirm if 170hz is working?...What you suggest 1440p/170hz or 4k 60hz (Benq PD2700U or LG 27UL850)....

[@Baubleship]

I recommend this monitor for the price bracket for a mac. It can and will run 1440p/170hz (at least on an m1/m2 mac, may be shown as 169hz) over usb-c. The HDMI port will be limited to 144hz unless you have the pro m2 chip, the hdmi port is 2.0, not 2.1. There are also usbc/tb3 to DP adapters that can work (personally never tested), but for this monitor I recommend buying the $30 Thunderbolt 3 / USBC cable with a mac. It is a BGR display, however rotating it 180 degrees can be done with the included stand and in display options, making it effectively RGB. Windows has text settings for rgb/bgr that have come a long way, but can fall short. Mac OS seems to handle BGR text rendering better out of the box. In the past this has "broken" g-sync for users, however it works fine for me as of an Nvidia update earlier this year. In my opinion you can't beat this monitor for the price if you plan on using the KVM, especially if you have a Mac and PC. The only downside i see is pixelation of curved red edges on MacOS. Though this occurs on many monitors that are not directly from Apple, and I am unaware if this is an issue on the others you mentioned.

[@LuisMiguel-el7dq]

Cuando va salir este producto y cual va ser el costo ?

[@zauberbaum1830]

Its available to buy already anc costs about 350€. You might get a quicker answer if you ask in english next time.

[@n4in912]

cool, if it wouldn't come with light leaks

[@phinalazer5954]

Cmon almost every monitor has one. At this price point, you can't really brag can you?

[@user-ux4kk8xw5z]

This or Fi27q

[@folkmetalkid]

I almost buy this monitor, but fortunately a watch, and read a lot of tests. BGR subpixels... Really?? Thats too lame. Now i'm searching for another monitor.

[@DepressedMusicEnjoyer]

Tbh I hoped we will see sth more interesting with new monitors. I hoped it will be 4k144 or 1440p240 or sth like that, and if it was at least 10bpc but...

[@deher9110]

4k and 240hz is a gimmick

[@sortsnakeksperiment]

Im not buying this as the buttons to operate is on the back and only reachable from the side. it sux

[@FrancisSyCoCo]

i have the AD27QD.. so im great right?

[@hl_currux]

youre correct

[@LuciusAugustusRex]

This feature is super broken please update the firmware

[@jeanlouis5359]

Will it get a software update to hdmi 2.1?

Nope the hardwares not capable
