The Aorus FO27Q5P monitor promises to set new standards with its 500Hz refresh rate, the highest of any QD-OLED. According to the manufacturer, this provides unprecedented clarity of movement and image sharpness. The new product exceeds the specifications of the VESA ClearMR 13000 standard and is ready for certification according to the ClearMR 21000 standard, which was announced just a few days ago.

The device supports the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 standard, which guarantees a high level of shadow detail and rich, deep blacks. Another important feature of the monitor is support for DisplayPort 2.1a with a data transfer rate of 80 Gbps, which is 2.5 times higher than the DisplayPort 1.4 standard.

The second new product was the 27-inch QD-OLED monitor Gigabyte MO27U2, supporting 4K resolution, a refresh rate of 240 Hz and a pixel density of 166 PPI. The monitor provides accurate color reproduction and is Pantone Validated. Both models are equipped with Gigabyte OLED Care technology, which prevents screen burn-in and increases the life of the panel.

In addition, the manufacturer has updated a number of features, including Tactical Switch 2.0 for quickly switching between saved resolution and aspect ratio settings, as well as Black Equalizer 2.0, which improves visibility in dark areas and increases the accuracy of gameplay.

More detailed information about the characteristics of the new Gigabyte monitors will be announced in the coming days, when the devices will be presented at CES. It is expected that the timing of their arrival on the market and retail price will become known at the same time.
