AORUS by Gigabyte Debuts Tactical 165 Hz Monitor for Gaming Enthusiasts
AORUS, the premium gaming brand of Gigabyte Technology, debuted a tactical monitor that gives gaming enthusiasts twice the details and display quality than Full HD, and allows them to enjoy games and movies in their original size. The AORUS F127Q features a 27" QHD panel (2560x1440 resolution) in a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 165 Hz refresh rate. New monitor supports AMD Radeon FreeSync technology which puts an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames to create a fluid and artifact-free performance at any framerate.
The AORUS F127Q is one of the most responsive gaming monitors in the market. By accelerating the twisting speed of the liquid crystals, the response time can be reduced to 1 ms, and let you enjoy a fluent gaming experience without any ghosting effects. This feature is particularly useful with high tempo games! The AORUS F127Q uses an advanced 10 bits (8 bits+FRC) Color IPS display technology which gives you extra wide viewing angles with 178/178 degrees. While in fierce competition, the F127Q's smooth rendering ability eliminates any chance of ghosting effects.
The new monitor features DCI-P3, a common RGB color space for digital movie projection from the American film industry. Compared to sRGB, DCI-P3 covers more red and green, which is more powerful and sharper, allowing users to see more realistic colors. With HDR technology, AORUS F127Q Gaming monitor can provide users with richer color levels.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays delivers better contrast and color accuracy, as well as more vibrant colors, compared to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) displays. As a result, HDR is gaining interest from a wide range of applications, including gaming, movie entertainment, and creation of multimedia content. The aim is to let the human eye see the picture as real as possible.

There are 3 models of the same. F127Q and F127Q-P. The latter supports DP1.4 with 10bits + HDR enabled at 165Hz, while this one cannot at the same time. You have to switch something off, due to bandwidth limitation. It has only DP1.2.
Kinda Anad managed to make proper press release few days ago accenting both panels and differences in between them, also added panel brightness and contrast specs, frequency ranges etc in a neat table.

Things i should note: G-Sync fully supported.
@Ferrum Master I'm totally willing to use 120Hz-144Hz to get better color, doesn't change much for me.
The one thing that bothers me is old DP 1.2 use. How the hell did they allow it.
And... how? Many options. Some panels doesn't handle the 165Hz + HDR mode... cherry pick is going on. Seconds a load old scalers is lying around for them... third could be a silent evolution of the same design(AD27QD being the first). Thus it would explain this silly article not mentioning the upgraded model as there is need to load them off.
