Thermaltake TGM-I27FQ Review (1440p/165Hz IPS)

Thermaltake's OSD system is split into seven main tabs, as you can see here:

Being the first Thermaltake monitor I have reviewed, I wasn't sure what to expect from it. No doubt about it, it's very plain, being almost entirely text-based and looking somewhat dated. Despite that, it is reasonably well featured with options for sRGB emulation, three different overdrive modes, user adjustable colour balance, on screen crosshairs and so on. My main criticism is honestly that you can't actually adjust the position of the OSD itself – it comes up smack bang in the centre of the screen and cannot be moved, which is less than ideal if you want to quickly make some changes on the fly without pausing your game or workflow. So overall, it's not quite as polished as something from MSI, but I have definitely seen worse first efforts!

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
