Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q2 Review - OLED for all

[@pedropierre9594]

I think this is the sweet spot, features to price ratio, this display does not even have that many reviews its a hidden gem

[@suhben]

I found this monitor from browsing Rtings and ultimately bought it on sale. They name the 360 Hz Q3 version of this monitor the best 1440p gaming monitor on the market.

[@pedropierre9594]

@@suhbeni think ill be buying this one, the 360 Hz version just doesn’t sell me, i hardly ever play settings that push 300 fps

[@jwkb-q2q]

You are the only person i can find doing an interesting review about this monitor. But since you have the tool to mesure input lag i don't understand why you only measured it at 60hz. Most of people who wants to buy this kind of monitors are more interested to know the input lag at 120-240hz.

[@BenchHouse]

Unfortunately, our current device only measures it at 1080p60

[@baconbro_2221]

I’m guessing it would be similar in response time to the fo27q3.

[@jwkb-q2q]

@@baconbro_2221 Yeah but i'm not looking for a guess, but for real measurements.

[@baconbro_2221]

@@jwkb-q2qyeah. That’s a left reason. I can tell you how it “feels” when I get it on Christmas, but I don’t own any hardware for it.

[@moltenbullet]

The one feature I greatly appreciate with my fo32u2p is the usb c port that has 65w charging. Just being able to one button switch between my pc and my work laptop without table clutter is just awesome. I hope it becomes a standard feature on all monitors.

[@حسانمترك]

65 or 18w??

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

any idea if it's the same as the FO27Q3 just lower price and lower refresh?

[@cake146]

I’m wondering that too

[@BenchHouse]

It looks like it, but can't say for sure without trying out the Q3. Might be that they picked panels that don't pass the test at faster refresh rate.

[@saschaschmidt1249]

ITS the same only the refresh on 240hz 😊

[@baconbro_2221]

I believe so. The specs are identical and I’ve seen on a few places they’re both gen 3 Samsung qd oled panels.

[@zues121510]

no LEDs on the back with the q2

[@Burns94]

How does this compare to the AOC Agon PRO AG276QZD2?

[@saschaschmidt1249]

Hello nice Monitor, i dont now . Rtx 4080 with Q3 or better Q2 ?

[@baconbro_2221]

Depends on the games. If you play competitive games like valorant or csgo the q3, otherwise the refresh rate won’t be much benefit

[@dejandeki6158]

Matte or gloss finish on screen ?

[@BigSteintv]

Very good question, That would make or break an oled monitor.

[@autohausluxner123]

Glossy, i have one and its amazing.

[@RacingPotato12]

All QD OLEDs are glossy. WOLEDs are matte.

[@lightmaker6282]

Great review, thanks!

[@mohamedelhatmi5943]

thank you for your review, do you have any idea about optimal HDR settings ? i tried using default HDR with ABL set to high like reviewers recommended for FO27Q3 but it seemed a bit less bright than other HDR modes like HDR movie which is my fav soo far, but HDR movie also unlocks all other settings so i was wondering if there are any recommended settings to get the best out of it

[@AlexCON28etc]

Hdr peak 1000 is best mode.

[@jeremyg2236]

what's the difference between this and the FO27Q3?

[@mohamedelhatmi5943]

@@AlexCON28etc this monitor doesnt have a dedicated peak 1000

[@mohamedelhatmi5943]

@@jeremyg2236 Fo27q3 360hz Has extra hdr options like HGIG and added recently peak hdr 1000 DSC with no option to disable it FO27Q2 240hz No DSC at all which is great Missing few hdr options No firmware updates soo far

[@zues121510]

@@mohamedelhatmi5943 Something I don't understand is how this monitor isn't using dsc when 240hz is above what DP 1.4 supports

Is it qd oled 3th gen?

[@bondiolauy9067]

Yes

[@JFinns]

@@bondiolauy9067 Thanks 3rd gen was all we needed to know, my PC isn't gonna run games at 360fps anyway so this 240Hz version is a much better value.

This or the xg27 woled from asus hmmm🤔

[@Kalantinus94]

I am watching this vid on mine FO27Q2. Reviews shoudl be read before purchasing things but fortunately this monitor is good so I am happy with that xd. Anyway I would like to connect mine USB dongle into USB-C port on the montor so I can use my headphones but it doesnt register that as audio input. Any tips how to make it work?

[@BenchHouse]

Any peripherials should probably connect to two downstream ports (Type-A), so perhaps you can try with a Type-C to Type-A adapter.

[@baconbro_2221]

Just bought one for 570 usd on Amazon
