The Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q5P Hertz So Good
Who Needs NVIDIA Pulsar When You Have 500Hz
When you are dealing with lesser refresh rates NVIDIA’s Pulsar tech will give you smoother motion than a traditional display but the Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q5P can provide up to 500Hz at 1440p. If you have a GPU that can drive that then you can’t get a smoother gaming experience at the moment. You might need to depend on DLSS to hit that mark, but KitGuru definitely loved the look of the Aorus FO27Q5P.
It also has another interesting feature, you can easily upgrade the firmware on the Aorus FO27Q5P if Gigabyte ever comes up with new improvements for this OLED display. There were two downsides that they found, the USB-C charging port provides a mere 18W and if colour accuracy is important to you then you should avoid sRGB and calibrate the monitor yourself as it arrives set to provide a rather warm image.
Utilising the same enhanced 3rd Gen QD-OLED panel from Samsung that we first saw in MSI's 272QP X50, this 1440p monitor is notable for its 500Hz refresh rate, alongside increased brightness for both SDR and some HDR use cases.
