Gigabyte Sets New Benchmarks with QD-OLED Monitors at CES 2025
Las Vegas, Tuesday, 7 January 2025.
Gigabyte’s QD-OLED monitors, unveiled at CES 2025, offer groundbreaking 500Hz and 240Hz refresh rates, redefining standards in display speed and clarity for professional applications.
Revolutionary Display Technology
Gigabyte’s latest QD-OLED monitors, announced on January 6, 2025, showcase significant advancements in display technology [1]. The flagship AORUS FO27Q5P sets a new industry benchmark with its groundbreaking 500Hz refresh rate, making it the fastest in the QD-OLED segment [1][3]. This model features DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 technology, delivering an impressive 80 Gbps bandwidth - 2.5=2.5 times higher than the previous DisplayPort 1.4 standard [1][3].
Professional-Grade Specifications
The GIGABYTE MO27U2 introduces unprecedented clarity with its 4K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate in a 27-inch format [1]. With a pixel density of 166 PPI and professional color accuracy certification from Pantone Validated®, it’s specifically engineered for design and media professionals [1]. Both monitors incorporate GIGABYTE’s exclusive OLED Care technology, an AI-driven system designed to prevent burn-in and extend display longevity [1].
Advanced Gaming Features
These monitors come equipped with enhanced tactical features for professional gaming applications [1]. The new Tactical Switch 2.0 allows users to dynamically adjust resolution and aspect ratio settings, while the Night Vision feature spans the entire screen to improve visibility in dark areas [1]. The AORUS FO27Q5P is positioned to achieve the upcoming ClearMR 21000 standard [1][5], demonstrating GIGABYTE’s commitment to advancing display technology standards.
Market Position and Competition
In the competitive high-performance monitor market, Gigabyte’s new offerings stand alongside other major manufacturers introducing 500Hz QD-OLED displays [5]. The inclusion of DisplayPort 2.1 in the FO27Q5P positions it advantageously against competitors like Asus XG27AQDPG, which uses DisplayPort 1.4 and requires signal compression for 500Hz operation [5]. The monitors utilize Samsung Display’s 4th generation, 5-layer tandem QD-OLED panel technology, ensuring superior luminance efficiency [5].
