Thermaltake TGM-I27FQ Review (1440p/165Hz IPS)
We've looked at plenty of products from Thermaltake over the years, from peripherals to cases and coolers. But we've never taken a look at a Thermaltake monitor – until now, that is, with this review of the TGM-I27FQ. Packing a 1440p IPS panel that runs at a native 165Hz refresh rate, this screen is both FreeSync and G-Sync certified and offers modern-day features like RGB lighting, USB-C and KVM functionality. Priced at £320, let's find out if it's any good.

As one of two Thermaltake monitors on the market, the TGM-I27FQ is currently listed on Scan for £319.99. It's not quite as affordable as the recently-reviewed ASRock PG27QFT2A, but the TGM-I27FQ does pack in considerably more features and is clearly targeting the mid-range, rather than entry level, monitor segment.
For those interested, the company's other screen is the TGM-V32CQ which is a 32in 170Hz VA panel, though we've not found this one on sale in the UK.
