Gigabyte Provides Specs of its Upcoming 360 Hz QD-OLED Display, the AORUS FO27Q3
Back in January, Gigabyte announced a wide range of new displays at CES and one of the new models that the company didn't have on display at the show was the AORUS FO27Q3. The company has now shared more details on its website of the new display and it gives us a lot more details than what had previously been released. As the model name suggests, the AORUS FO27Q3 is a 27-inch display and the resolution is 2560 x 1440 pixels and the refresh rate will top out at 360 Hz and has a response time of 0.03 ms. The FO27Q3 is built around a QD-OLED panel with an anti-reflective coating. The panel is said to be a 10-bit panel capable of 10.7 billion colours and it's certified for DisplayHDR True Black 400, has a typical brightness of 250 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 15 million to one.
Other features include support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA ClearMR 13000, but there's no mention of G-Sync support. Other features include a range of gaming related features such as crosshairs, night vision, black equalizer etc. as well as picture by picture and picture in picture support. Inputs consist of two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4, one USB Type-C with DP Alt mode support as well as a very disappointing 18 W of USB Power Delivery. Furthermore there's a USB 3.0 upstreams port and two downstreams ports, a headphone and a microphone jack. Gigabyte has also added KVM support and a stand that offers tilt, swivels, pivot and height adjustment. The display is said to have a peak power draw of 53 Watts and relies on an external power brick. No word on pricing or availability.

If you are fine with 60hz though, well, several models exist already.
hmmm true 10-bit or 8bit+frc cause 2 different things
one thing I hate is false/misleading/inaccurate advertising................
IMHO, I've observed companies actively cut-corners and purposefully allow/engineer very limited lifespan designs
-merely, because they know they're marketing to flippant, loose-spending customers. Customers, who are expected to be buying something newer and/or better before the (often, legally-mandated) warranty runs out.
To the "oddball" customer(s) that's saved up and/or merely values their hard-earned money:or, how social media likes to respond to such
Still waiting for
-24"
-4k
-120Hz
-DP2.0
-very low anti-glare coating (maybe even gloss)
-true 10-bit
I don't think either of us will be seeing what we want (anytime soon/ever), sadly.

Might be possible that you can redesign your interior so you have more space for monitors. Won't hurt I guess.
I prefer office grade furniture, and that crap aint cheap...unlike me :oops:
WOLED from LG is a different animal here.
Beats the ~500 Hz LCDs I've tried with ease. OLED has instant pixel response and no smearing in comparison. Needs to be seen to understand. OLED at 360 Hz or even 240 Hz is mind-boggling smooth.
First gen panel was not really a first gen panel tho. Was tested internally for years at Samsung Display before release.

It really shouldn't be listed as "Low blue light" when it's emitting within the harmful range.
There are already multiple owners out there complaining about eye strain on that one.
If Gigabyte uses the same panel (which it most like will) you might expect similar issues to pop up.
Yes, LG Display has one scheduled for production in Q4 2025. That means you won't see it in actual display until at least Q1 2026.You're looking at 3rd Gen QD-OLED used in this display.
1st gen were the initial 34" UW models.
2nd gen were the 49" models from last year, they had the updated subpixel layout with tighter and more squared pixels.
3rd gen are 32" and 27" announced during CES
The sort of 2.5 gen are 34" 240 Hz panels that are confirmed for at least one Gigabyte model.
More details here:
OLED will always beat LCD in terms of eye health and fatique in general. There's literally tons of articles about this, simply Google.
Obviously QD-OLED will emit more blue light than WOLED since it has way higher brightness in the RGB subpixels, thats the reason why image quality looks stunning and colors are popping. Both beat LCD in terms of image quality, with ease. Both are easier on the eyes than LCD too.
You can easily limit blue light with software anyway. Directly built in to Windows 10/11 and MacOS, and has been for years. Not a problem at all even if you are sensitive.
Blue light features on a monitor is simply useless. Who wants to press a button or several on the monitor itself to enable it. When you can set up a timer or click a button in the OS itself.
The blue light worries are really nothing-sauce.
LCD with PWM flicker is far more disturbing for me. This is what causes most people eye strain. Blue light is easy to manage with software or just the OS itself.
