Gigabyte recently brought its latest QD-OLED gaming monitors to India. The company currently sells the FO32U2P and FO27Q3 variants in the country. As QD-OLED is a relatively newer technology, there aren’t a lot of gaming monitors available in India that use it. We got the FO27Q3 from Gigabyte for review and it features a 27-inch panel with impressive features such as 360Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. The monitor is priced at Rs. 86,999 in the country, which is certainly a lot more than what a fast IPS gaming monitor would cost.
While OLED panels do offer a lot of improvements over traditional IPS panels and are great for gaming, are they worth the hefty price tag and should you be upgrading to an OLED? Read on to find out.
Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q3 Design
- Dimensions (with stand) – 610.3 x 532.5 x 158.6 mm
- Dimensions (without stand) – 610.3 x 356.4 x 57.2 mm
Gaming monitors must have some flair, that’s the norm. The Aorus FO27Q3 certainly has some, thanks to its angled edges, glossy accents, a bit of RGB lighting, and good build quality. The monitor is easy to assemble, and although most parts are plastic, everything feels premium.
At the front, you get a somewhat glossy panel with a thick chin and minimal top and side bezels, although the side bezels are considerably thicker than the top. The chin features a centrally placed Aorus logo. The buttons are placed on the underside of the logo, and you get a multi-directional joystick as well to easily navigate the OSD menu.
