It seems like year after year, more and more monitors are released to give you the best visuals possible from your gaming setup. After a successful dive into the monitor game, GIGABYTE is getting back into the market with a relaunch of their gaming monitors line. Not content with just your average gaming monitor, GIGABYTE has upgraded its line to a series of QD-OLED monitors, combining the high-quality picture you get from an OLED monitor, and giving it a burst of color and brightness that other monitors can’t achieve.
There are three new GIGABYTE QD-OLED monitors included in the relaunch, the AORUSFO32U2,FO32U2 Pro, andFO27Q3, each one coming with its own benefits and characteristics to best suit your gaming needs.
Visual Performance At Its Peak
Pixel Perfect Realism
At the core of GIGABYTE’s QD-OLED monitors is a desire to have the best visual performance possible in a package that any gamer of any skill level can enjoy. Casual gamers and esport athletes will both enjoy the incredibly fast reaction time and high refresh rates, letting them capture every single epic moment in their games.
GIGABYTE can hit these moments thanks to the QD-OLED technology, letting them produce extraordinarily vibrant colors and deep, realistic blacks, coming together to create an unparalleled realism. All three monitors are able to do this thanks to QD-OLED panels that provide pixel-perfect accuracy and contrast ratios up to 1.5M:1.
Performance On The Edge
Three Monitors For Competitive Esports Athletes
You can’t talk about monitors, especially ones like GIGABYTE’sFO32U2,FO32U2 Pro, andFO27Q3, without touching on the refresh rate. The refresh rate, or the number of times per second that a monitor refreshes its display, is what helps keep the game you’re playing look smooth and more realistic. The higher the refresh rate, the better the monitor, with anything ranging from 144Hz to 240Hz generally considered to be among the fastest among gaming monitors. Competitive esports athletes love a higher refresh rate, as it helps them reach the accuracy and precision they need to stay at the top of their games.
The AORUS FO32U2 and FO32U2 Pro, you’re looking at an impressive 240Hz, both with a 32-inch, 3840x2160 QD-OLED display, while the FO27Q3 hits a staggering 360Hz on a 27-inch, 2560x1440 OD-OLED display, so you know these monitors are among the top of the line for anyone looking to get the most out of their monitors.
No matter which of GIGABYTE’s monitors you pick from, you’re getting VESA certified DisplayHDR True Black 400, giving you superior details in your games, no matter if you’re playing on PC or console. These monitors aren’t done yet, as they are going to give you 99% DCI-P3 color gamut and VESA ClearMR 13000 certification.
Reduce Motion Blur With Remarkable Response Times
QD-OLED Monitors For Smoother Gaming
All of GIGABYTE’s QD-OLED monitors have a 0.03ms GTG response time, which is incredibly quick, even among gaming monitors. A GTG response time, or grey-to-grey response time, is how quickly the monitor can shift from one shade of grey to another, oftentimes tracking the mid-tone colors among greys.
A monitor with a fast GTG response time means less motion blur while you are playing, creating a smoother experience. If you’re wondering how the GIGABYTE QD-OLED monitors measure up to other similar monitors, a fast gaming monitor is generally considered to have a response time of 3 ms or lower, as the faster the speed the less input lag you’ll experience. Compare that to the 0.3ms that these monitors boast, and you’re all but guaranteed to get an edge in your games, especially if you’re on your way to the competitive circuit, where a little lag can be the difference between a championship win or defeat.
Refresh rates are not the only way that GIGABYTE’s monitors help you reach your best gaming experience. These three monitors have features like adaptive sync technology and Resolution Switch to bring your gaming experiences to their peak. Adaptive sync technology includes an AMD FreeSync Premium Pro that works to keep the monitor’s refresh rate working in tandem with your computer’s graphics card frame rate to work against screen tearing and stuttering, keeping your experience as smooth as it can be.

GIGABYTE’s Resolution Switch, on the other hand, is a neat tool that will let you quickly swap between different monitor sizes thanks to a built-in Tactical Switch. The Resolution Switch also helps you change from game to game, so that you get the same performance whether you’re playing intense RPGs like Cyberpunk 2077 or taking the win in Valorant.

Future-proof Your Gaming Setup
Here’s the thing about GIGABYTE’s new monitors. They’re designed to take you through the next generation of gaming, particularly the AORUSFO32U2 Pro.
