Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 27″ 1440p HDR 360 Hz QD OLED Gaming Monitor

GIGABYTE – AORUS FO27Q3-27″ QD OLED Gaming Monitor Review: One of the BEST

**Introduction:**

I keep the review simple and in laments terms. I try not to get too technical, although I can! My goal is to translate my reviews so anyone looking for a TV or display will know if this is for them or not.

**Design:**

Describe the monitor’s physical appearance. Mention the build quality, bezels, stand, and any unique design features.

**Display Quality:**

This is a very sleek, QD third generation OLED monitor. If you’re looking for vibrancy, brightness, details. Look no further! This monitor will provide you with everything you’ve come to expect from OLED monitors and then some. I’m a big fan of the thin display design with the components being set to ‘boxed’ area on the back. I prefer this to a full enclosed body shape so if this is a design you like, it’s got it! Check the pictures to see how incredibly thin this monitor is.

My only gripe is the bezels are still a little big around the edges. not distracting, doesn’t feel cheap but still bigger than I’d like.

**Performance:**

If you’re getting this as a primary gaming monitor. You’ve landed on it. Price to performance it’s incredible. I’d say this is definitely a top tier monitor. It’s going to be really hard to find a monitor that looks better than this one. Third gen QD OLED, ‘nough said to be honest.

**Features:**

• Glossy anti-reflective coating — This is not pure Matte as it says in the Amazon description!!!
• QHD 2k
• Picture in Picture, Picture By Picture
• VESA Certified – HDR 400
• VESA Certified – ClearMR 13000
• 360Hz
• 0.03 ms response time (and yes it’s actually extremely responsive, not just advertised as such)
• KVM. One for All
• OLED Care
• 3 year warranty

**User Experience:**

I absolutely love my LG 39GS95QE because it has awesome brightness and awesome colors. This monitor came out this year just a few months ago.

The Aorus monitor has even better colors that pop and seems like even better contrast. It’s just a beautiful display that is pure eye candy. The monitor does have a slightly warmer calibration out of the box but it’s not noticeable unless you have a pure white background.

Inky blacks, amazing contrast ratio, spectacular performance with almost zero latency. I’ve been saying it but this is pretty much a 27 inch monitor dream. If you’ve been waiting for the best 1440p monitor to replace your old IPS or LED – you can stop searching.

**Value for Money:**

Evaluate whether the monitor is worth its price. Consider its performance, features, and how it compares to similar models in its price range.

**Pros:**

* Inky blacks
• Colors pop. Movie watching, gaming is top tier!
• Ability to downscale image to 24.5 inches for competitive gaming
• high PPI makes things look very crisp
• better color accuracy than WOLED
• Glossy finish (my personal preference. If you like Matte, sorry not sorry lol)

This will probably remain an undisputed champion in the market of 1440p monitors for some time.

**Cons:**

• If you’re looking for 4k, consider 4k options – they will still have better PPI
• Color fringing still visible in text. See photos for an example. It’s very minor but some may notice.
• No options for cool temperature adjustment. If you like a cool color temp instead of warm you won’t be able to adjust this.

**Conclusion:**

The price is fair. The colors and inky blacks will have you feeling like you’re in your own personal home theater setup. It’s bright and crisp. I had to look for negative things to say about this monitor!

**Rating:**

5 out 5 stars – without a doubt! The negatives are far outweighed by the positives. I can safely say you won’t regret this purchase.

This is my first oled gaming monitor.
Before this, I had two 32″ 1440p 165hz monitors from Asus and LG. I play a lot of fps games and so I figured going down to 27″ wouldn’t be a terrible idea just for more situational awareness due to having a smaller screen and whatnot.
When I say that this has genuinely made me a better player, I’m not kidding. I improved over night on rainbow six siege due to the clarity of the image (presumably due to the glossy coating), and the insane speed of the 360hz. I should also mention that the dark stabilizer on this monitor is pretty nuts too. I leave mine on 3 and it really does help see better in the darker areas of the game.
Next to my 32″ Asus monitor, it’s a night and day difference. Colors are more vibrant, the glossy screen makes the image appear clearer, the blacks are BLACK (yes, if you have lights in your room, they’re a little purplish due to the way that the QD-OLED works, but it’s a non-issue for me. I use the monitor mostly at night), and overall- it’s just a really beautiful monitor that I’ve had no issues with whatsoever. a
Sorry my picture isn’t the best. I might return later when it’s night again and upload a comparison image

Pros: QD-OLED means its stunning with blacks

Colors are calibrated and bright, but not overdone

Feels sturdy & has that signature thin-screen for OLED monitors and TVs, so its sleek

Controls are simplified under the monitor to include a joystick-like clicker to maneuver menus.

When at full screen, it looks amazing. Black is BLACK, and colors pop easily

It does good against glare. I havent had any issues seeing details with light on

Cons: It doesnt start at full-screen, instead it begins at 1920×1080. There are two buttons on either side of the control-joystick under the middle of the screen that puts it into full-screen mode (2560×1440). It took us a while to figure this out.

The plastic thing that slides up and down the neck of where the screen sits feels like I could break it at any second while touching. Its very flimsy & I dont know exactly what its for, as this is my first monitor Ive owned outside of 90s fatbacks.

Controls under the screen are not labeled anywhere at the front, so you gotta use the instructions. I kinda was excited and instead fiddled with it till I figure it out, but its good to go once you know how to use it.

Base is WIDE. It has one of those obtuse V bases that could be a problem for smaller stands, or tables. Glad I got a bigger game table than I wanted, or else this would be a little cramped. But since I have the space, it isnt much of an issue, but I figured others would like to know that.

Overall Review: This is a fantastic monitor. Its my first game-specific one outside of my 90s Gateway 2000 fatback or a laptop. I am just starting my modern day computer gaming chapter, and coming from console, I really wanted an OLED similar to our living room TV. I was very excited to do my research and fell in love with the MSI model 27in QD-OLED, but could not find them in stock. Newegg informed me of THIS one, and I already was impressed with and had a Gigabyte MOBO, so checking its specs, I saw no reason not to go with it. It came, and after setting it up (and figuring out how to get full screen going for 2K res), its been a beautiful monitor. I am excited to start gaming, and the few things Ive already tried on it look stunning (Helldivers 2, BF1). If you want a 27in QD-OLED but cant find some of the others, or arent a fan of some, this is a great choice.

QD-OLED and OLED in general is the next big leap in panel tech just like how IPS monitors were the big jump from TN monitors. But there are too many quirks with these early-gen panels. I would rather save my sanity.

Pros: -Great OLED Picture quality
-High refresh rate
-Passive cooling, no noisy internal fan
-external powers supply

Cons: -stand is unnecessarily large

Overall Review: This monitor is everything I’ve honestly wanted in a PC gaming monitor. I wanted OLED for the vibrant, bright colors and fast response times and fast refresh rate and that’s exactly what you get. I like that it’s passively cooled, the less moving parts the better IMO as well as the power supply being external. I’ve had a PSU fail in a monitor before and it’s so much better if it’s external. It can quickly just be swapped out. It’s also great for media consumption, watching movies and YouTube videos is great. Text clarity isn’t really a problem to me but maybe I’m just not sensitive to that like others. The warranty gives me peace of mind but I think as long as you leave on all the OLED care settings on, use the pixel refresh at least once a day, and don’t leave the screen on with a static image for hours and hours on end burn-in isn’t a thing to really worry about. the one negative is the stand, it’s to flipping big! I can live with it but it is very big for no real reason so be aware of that if you are low on desk space. I highly recommend this monitor if you’re looking amongst all the great OLED options that are out there right now.

One of the best QD-OLED 360hz 1440p monitors currently on the market. Has USB B port for firmware updates if needed and released (big plus) and HDMI 2.1 full bandwidth.
I wish Gigabyte released a Windows driver for it. It not nice to see “Generic Monitor” in device manager and some games/applications for an $800 dollar monitor. I also hope GBT will continue to refine and improve things in future FW updates. They already addressed an issue with Standby Pixel Cleanup through a FW update.

El mejor monitor gamer que he tenido

Possibly the best 360hz monitor out right now! Colors are amazing, response time is very smooth it pars up perfectly with my Gigabyte 4080 super Aorus graphics card. A match made in gaming heaven ??

Pros: Great great great

Cons: Auto dim annoying af

Overall Review: Auto dim is pretty annoying hope this fix this cause its really annoying having to hit the contrast button on the monitor every time to undim it. Other than that this a beautiful monitor for some reason it looks bigger than 27 maybe since its slick and clean looking.

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Overall Review: Would definitely recommend this Monitor
