Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q3 Monitor Review: A Delight for Gamers


Gigabyte recently brought its latest QD-Old Gaming Monitor to India. The company currently sells FO32U2P and FO27Q3 variants in the country. As QD-Ald is a relatively new technology, there are not many gaming monitors available in India that use it. We got a FO27Q3 from Gigabyte for review and features a 27 -inch panel, with impressive features like 360Hz refresh rate and AMD Freassink Premium Pro. Monitor price Rs. 86,999 in the country, which is definitely much higher than a sharp IPS gaming monitor.

While OLED panels offer a lot of reforms on traditional IPS panels and are great for gaming, are they worth the tag of heavy price and should you upgrade to OLED? Read on to find out.

  • Dimensions (with stand) – 610.3 x 532.5 x 158.6 mm
  • Dimensions (without stand) – 610.3 x 356.4 x 57.2 mm

Gaming monitor should have some nature, it is ideal. Aorus FO27Q3 definitely has something, thanks to its angles, shiny accents, RGB lighting and good build quality. Monitor is easy to collect, and although most parts are plastic, everything seems premium.

Monitor gets RGB lighting and dual 5W speakers at the back

At the front, you get some bright panels with a thick chin and minimal top and side bezels, although the side bezels are quite thick from the top. The chin has a centrally placed Aorous logo. The button is placed on the bottom of the logo, and you get to navigate the OSD menu as well as a multi-directional joystick.

Joystick is multi-dowerful

Walking down, there is another Holographic Aars bird logo in the base of the stand. The base is wide and some desk can take place. The stand provides adjustment options including tilt, tiny, height and 90-degree pivot. You get a kiln on the stand, which is for cable management, but the power cable does not pass through it.

Performance can be found indoors, but the coating is shiny

During my use, the panel offered vivid color breeding and deep blacks in most cases. The contrary is also excellent, especially in deep scenes. Compared to my regular IPS monitor, I could see a lot of details in the shade. गेमिंग करते समय यह बहुत अच्छा है, लेकिन सामग्री और वीडियो/फोटो संपादन का उपभोग करने के लिए भी अच्छा है। पाठ तेज है, लेकिन आप कुछ छोटे फ़ॉन्ट को पिक्सेलेटेड दिखने के लिए देखेंगे।

In terms of brightness, the panel becomes quite bright in the state of dim light, especially in HDR mode. HDR output is quite good, but bright scenes are expanded or lack of better quality. If there is a lot of light in your room, you will notice a lot of reflections on the screen, and the glow may not be enough.

Monitor AMD FREESYNC provides Premium Pro

Thanks to the high 360 Hz refresh rate, gaming on the monitor is extremely fun. Almost no one is ghostly and everything is super responsible, especially when playing FPS or racing games. Motion is also better and smooth than your standard IPS or VA panel monitor.

You also get support for AMD FREESYNC Premium Pro and Adaptive Sink. Although you do not get Nvidia G-Sync support specifically, it should work well for a adaptive sink feature. The angle of looking on the display is very good and I did not see a big difference in color breeding when I look from the angle.

Monitor provides good viewing angle

The monitor provides a vivid color output, a rapid 360Hz refreshing rate and an excellent contrast ratio. It also has a well -thought out design that appears to be well built, although not enough RGB. This is mainly for gamers, but it can also be used by creative professionals. However, the pricing is slightly standing, and so I would only recommend for those who are serious about gaming or they have a lot of cash.

Professionals:

  • sleek design
  • Pile of connectivity options
  • vivid colors
  • 360Hz fresh rate
  • Fast 0.03MS response time
