For those of you that have been waiting patiently for the first DisplayPort 2.1 monitors to start arriving, we have good news as Gigabyte has revealed details of its first display equipped with DP 2.1. The monitor in question is the AORUS FO32U2P which also sports a 4K QD-OLED panel with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The 31.5-inch QD-OLED panel does follow the standard feature set with a 10-bit panel, 250 cd/m² brightness, 1.5 million to one contrast ratio, 0.03 ms GTG response time and a DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. Gigabyte has gone for an anti-reflective coating as well, which might not appeal to everyone.

As for the inputs, the DP2.1 ports support the full UHBR20 spec, which is 80 Gbps of total bandwidth over four 20 Gbps DisplayPort lanes, which means Gigabyte hasn't skimped on anything here. Yes, you read that correctly as well, the monitor has two DP 2.1 inputs, one full size and one mini DP input and there's also a USB Type-C input that supports DP-Alt mode, in addition to 65 W USB Power Delivery and USB data, although it's not clear if this port also supports DP 2.1. Furthermore, there are two HDMI 2.1 ports, one upstreams and two downstreams USB 3.2 ports, as well as a headphone and microphone jack. Gigabyte has also equipped the AORUS FO32U2P with a pair of 5 W speakers and a stand that offers tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustments. The maximum power usage is said to be 78 W, but this shouldn't include the USB PD part. Other features include KVM support, daisy-chaining via a DP output, picture in picture and picture by picture support and various gaming features such as crosshairs, night vision, black equalizer etc. Gigabyte has as yet to announce official pricing on a release date.

Update Mar 5th: We've received additional details on the DisplayPorts of the AORUS FO32U2P from Gigabyte and only the DP inputs supports DP 2.1, whereas the USB Type-C input and the DP daisy-chain ports are limited to DP 1.4. The MSRP of the AORUS FO32U2P will be US$1399.99 with the AORUS FO32U2 which is a DP 1.4 version will have an MSRP of US$1199.99.

That hasn't stopped people here in the forums complaining about lack of DP 2.x on new monitors for the past... I've honestly lost count on how many years it is...

All AMD 7000 client cards support DP 2.1 at 54 Gbps and PRO W7900 and W7800 support 80 Gbps. You want DP 2.1? Go AMD now or wait for next gen GPUs.

Is Gigabyte able to clarify whether DP OUT port also supports DP 2.1 UHBR bandwidth?
I'm sure we'll find out in due time, but there's no mention of it for now, just as there's no mention about what the Type-C port is capable of.

The thing about DP 2.1 is that UHBR support is... optional. So unless GPU or monitor manufacturer clearly specifies which DP 2.1 features are supported you're kinda going in blind (case in point AMD with their RX7000 series and "DP 2.1" support which then turned out to be UHBR13.5).
Either way, even with full 80 Gbps support you won't avoid DSC once you go over 4K 240 Hz.

On topic:
There is also a cut down version of the same panel with DP 1.4 support:

Aren't those panels suppose to at hit around 350 peak?
Some brands reduce max brightness to extend life, I'd assume that's what's happening here.

350 peak won't matter if it drops after few seconds or can't keep it at 100% APL.

If it can keep uniform brightness of 250 cd/m2 at 100% windows size it's basically matches the competition out there.

265 cd/m2 from Asus PG32UCDM (using same QD-OLED panel):

Gigabyte's older FO48U was not able to maintain the brightness at 100% window.

Are you certain it’s a matte display and not a glossy with anti-reflection ?

reading contradictory stuff here and there about it

My last display is from 2016, I think DSC is solid and perfectly viable in many cases but if I can future proof my next display in 2024 it’s better to pick the 10 bit 240hz 4K with HDR one with no compression

Well on one side we have this:
1709295501608.png

And then there's this:
1709295495246.png


I only recall one LG model that was initially reported to be glossy at CES but turned out someone simply forgot to remove the protective plastic film and the next day it was confirmed to be matte.

That being said:
1709295812077.png

That's from FO48U which is also listed as "Anti-Reflection" on Gigabyte's site.

And that's how they describe a matte FI32U:

I don't think I mentioned either or, but simply that it has an anti-reflective coating.

I wanted the Asus one… but DP2.1 UHBR20 and the more sober design alongside integrated speakers, it’s clearly the ideal one this gigabyte

I don't think I mentioned either or, but simply that it has an anti-reflective coating.

oh okay understood, looking closer to rivals sporting the same panel, anti-reflective coating should be semi-glossy, the same as PG32UCDM/MPG 321urx at least that’s how they phrase it but we’ll see closer to launch

@rv8000 a QDOLED with DP2.1 :clap:

Time to wait for reviews. Also curious if this has active or passive cooling. I probably won’t be swapping out my 27” ASUS OLED for awhile though, I may have finally learned my lesson on jumping the gun ;)

Side note, I really dislike the navigation stick on most monitors lately.

Hello Bonehead, this is 2024 calling, just to let you know that USB Type B is still a superior connector to type-A when it comes to not just mechanical reliability, but also to differentiate itself as a hub-in port from out ports of the monitor's USB hub. One Type-B to type-A 5Gbps intended cable will be provided free of charge in the box.

Knowing your intellectual contribution to this platform is it net negative, this is still a good chance to remind the rest of the users around how these kinds of USB hubs work in monitors.
