I currently have a triple monitor setup with three U2715H monitors - most PC gaming is just on the middle screen, though I do manage a little gaming using the full three screen layout, however the main use for the multi-monitor setup is productivity based (software development)

I'm wanting to get a 1440p high refresh rate IPS monitor to replace the middle monitor of this setup, this monitor will be used for gaming while the full triple screen setup will still need to be suitable for my work - my main concern is finding a suitable monitor that will have the same (or very similar) colour display as the current Dell monitors (I need the colours to be consistent when I move things between monitors, partly because it helps my work, but also it will drive me mad if they 'change' as I move a window between monitors).
Freesync and GSync support would be useful (currently have an nVidia card, but possible I'll end up with an AMD in the future depending on what I can actually get a hold of!).

I don't know a huge amount about calibration (the existing monitors came pre-calibrated), so not sure if just running a calibration setup on all three will ensure the colours are a match.

The Gigabyte M27Q and AORUS FI27Q-X look like they could be contenders (same approx look as my Dells) - does anyone know how the screen colours look with these two monitors next to each other? Or have any other recommendations to look at?
 
That Dell is sRGB monitor, so almost any monitor can reach that and better ones typically exceed it.
Most better ones have sRGB mode selectable from menu allowing limiting gamut when necessary.
And without locking gamut to that, unlike if using colour profile made with calibrator.

Though that sRGB mode would be unlikely to be absolutely accurate.
But anyway neither that Dell has top notch accurate colours at defaults:

That's great info - thanks.
So does that mean that if I had the AORUS FI27Q-X (for example) and set it to sRGB, the colours would look more or less the same as the Dell? (within a margin of error anyway)
 
thanks again.

The FI27Q-X is certainly looking like the main contender.. the couple of others I liked the look of have their power/OSD controls on the back, which won't be practical for me given this will be a middle monitor.
