Samsung’s new QD-OLED panels are also coming to Gigabyte. The Aorus FO27Q5P therefore offers WQHD resolution at 500 Hz, which will also be available from Asus, MSI or Samsung. The MO27U2 again uses the new option with 4K UHD and 240 Hz on 27 inches.
Before CES, the time for displays has come
The first days of the year, with the preparation for CES 2025 which begins next week, are clearly marked by new launches in the monitor sector. It’s clear that Samsung Display, the display division of South Korean electronics giant Samsung, has new options for its QD-OLED panels for monitors in its lineup.
One of them sets the bar even higher when it comes to refresh rates. While 480 Hz was previously the maximum for OLED monitors, it is now slightly higher than 500 Hz. This is available in 2560 × 1440 pixels on 27 inches in the usual 16:9 aspect ratio not only on the Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q5P , but also on the Asus ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG, with the MSI MPG 272QR QD-OLED X50 or the Samsung Odyssey OLED G6. (G60SF).
With the Aorus FO27Q5P at 500 Hz, Gigabyte, like MSI, uses the fastest video interface currently in the form of DisplayPort 2.1a with 80 Gbit/s in UHBR20 mode, while Asus must use DisplayPort 1.4 with compression ( DSC).

Gigabyte announces that the Aorus FO27Q5P is expected to receive ClearMR 21000 certification, the new benchmark in motion blur according to VESA guidelines. In addition, certification according to DisplayHDR True Black 500 is imminent, for which the monitor must achieve 300 cd/m² across the entire surface and 500 cd/m² in certain areas.
Another 27-inch OLED with UHD at 240 Hertz
With the MO27U2 beyond the Aorus gaming brand, Gigabyte goes into even less detail. What is clear is the resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels at 27 inches, which means a high pixel density of 166 ppi. The refresh rate is 240 Hz. In addition to gaming, Gigabyte also considers “light creative tasks” as an area of application. Rightly, a calibration according to Delta E
Both OLED monitors are advertised with “OLED Care” for burn-in protection and various gaming features. It is still unclear when and at what price the monitors will be available in Germany.
Both models feature GIGABYTE OLED Care, an AI-based panel protection system designed to prevent burn-in and extend screen longevity, ensuring a consistent and dynamic viewing experience. Enhanced Tactical features further enhance gameplay, with Tactical Switch 2.0 introducing the ability to change resolution and adjust to a 4:3 screen ratio for optimized display settings. Night vision spans the entire screen, helping FPS players spot enemies in dimly lit areas more effectively. Meanwhile, Black Equalizer 2.0 continues to offer gamers improved visibility and enriched gaming accuracy.
