At CES 2025, GIGABYTE unveiled two groundbreaking monitors, the AORUS FO27Q5P and GIGABYTE MO27U2. Both models push the boundaries of what QD-OLED technology can offer, delivering unparalleled speed, clarity, and advanced features for gamers and professionals alike. Let’s dive into what makes these monitors stand out.
AORUS FO27Q5P: Designed for Competitive Gaming
The AORUS FO27Q5P is a monitor tailored for esports professionals and FPS enthusiasts, boasting an industry-leading 500Hz refresh rate, the highest seen in QD-OLED displays. This refresh rate ensures fluid motion clarity and crisp visuals, crucial for split-second decision-making in competitive games.
Adding to its performance credentials, the FO27Q5P is equipped with DP2.1 UHBR20, providing an impressive 80 Gbps bandwidth—2.5 times higher than the older DP 1.4 standard. This ensures smooth compatibility with next-gen GPUs, making it future-proof for years to come. Certified with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, the monitor excels in producing deep blacks and nuanced shadow details, further enhancing the visual experience.
GIGABYTE MO27U2: 4K Precision in a 27-Inch Form Factor
The GIGABYTE MO27U2 offers a different kind of innovation, redefining the 27-inch monitor category with 4K resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 166 PPI density. This combination ensures sharp visuals, smooth gameplay, and a level of clarity ideal for both AAA gaming and productivity tasks.
The MO27U2 doesn’t just stop at gaming; its delta E?2 color accuracy and Pantone Validated® certification make it a suitable choice for creative professionals handling light editing tasks. This versatility allows the monitor to serve as a hybrid solution for gamers who also need a reliable display for streaming or work.
Shared Features: Reliability and Gameplay Enhancements
Both monitors incorporate GIGABYTE’s OLED Care technology, an AI-driven system designed to prevent burn-in and prolong panel longevity. Additionally, their enhanced Tactical Features provide tools like Night Vision, which helps players identify enemies in dark settings, and Black Equalizer 2.0, improving visibility without overexposing brighter areas.
Another noteworthy addition is Tactical Switch 2.0, enabling quick resolution changes and aspect ratio adjustments, such as a 4:3 screen ratio. These features cater to gamers seeking maximum control and customization.
Conclusion
The AORUS FO27Q5P and GIGABYTE MO27U2 represent significant steps forward in QD-OLED technology, catering to diverse needs—from competitive gaming to hybrid productivity. Both models will be available soon, with details on pricing and release schedules expected on GIGABYTE’s official channels.
