GIGABYTE unveiled a new lineup of OLED monitors this year that are designed for gaming and entertainment, featuring both the GIGABYTE and AORUS series. And with the holiday shopping season in full swing, you might be looking for the right option to upgrade the setup for yourself or a loved one. So with that in mind, we figured we’d give you a rundown of the best features in GIGABYTE’s 2024 lineup to help make your buying decision a little easier.
A Wide Range of Models for Every Setup
GIGABYTE offers lots of different options, so chances are good you’ll find one that works best for you. Sizes range from 27 to 49 inches, with choices in both curved and flat screens. The pinnacle of the lineup is the AORUS FO32U2P, the world’s first DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 OLED gaming monitor, offering a massive 80 Gbps bandwidth for seamless data transfer without Display Stream Compression. Thanks to Daisy Chain support, you can wire monitors to each other in sequence rather than needing to plug all of them into a central computer or laptop. So it significantly cuts down on cord clutter for configurations that use multiple monitors. The FO32U2P took home the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for combining high-tech performance with sleek design, making it a smart investment in next-gen technology that will complement even the most powerful graphics cards.
Other models specialize in specific areas. The AORUS FO27Q3 is best for esports, with a 27-inch display, native 360 Hz refresh rate, and ultra-low response time. That results in elite battlefield visibility and tournament-grade performance. If you’re looking for an ultrawide display, there’s the AORUS CO49DQ. It has a curved 49-inch QD-OLED panel with a 5120×1440 resolution, equivalent to two 27” QHD displays, providing ultimate immersion.
The GIGABYTE MO34WQC2, another Red Dot Award winner, is a fantastic option for multitaskers and those venturing into OLED tech. It features an 1800R curve and built-in KVM, allowing users to switch between devices seamlessly. This makes it an ideal entry point for cross-platform gamers, complete with HDMI 2.1 support.
GIGABYTE’s lineup also includes recent additions like the GIGABYTE MO32U and GIGABYTE MO27Q2, expanding options with high-resolution displays, advanced gaming features, and a new sleek stand, further showcasing GIGABYTE's commitment to enhancing the gaming experience for all types of users.
Next-Level Gaming for a Tactical Edge
All of GIGABYTE’s gaming monitors, including the AORUS and GIGABYTE series, have exclusive Tactical Features that can give gamers a leg up on the competition. The latest Resolution Switch is specifically designed to enhance the experience of first-person shooting games, allowing instant switching to a 24-inch 1080p resolution with a single click. Plus, Night Vision is designed to amplify the details in dark areas without brightening the whole screen, which can cause some areas to be overexposed.
Furthermore, the Black Equalizer 2.0 ensures clear visibility in darker areas without compromising bright spots, while the OSD Sidekick provides seamless control of monitor functions and settings with a simple software interface using a mouse and keyboard. Game Assist offers in-game functions like a customizable crosshair, counter, timer, and multi-screen alignment lines.
Comprehensive Burn-In Protection
GIGABYTE OLED Care leverages AI-powered tuning to maximize user convenience and optimize display performance. Even though the OLED panels come equipped with advanced technology, GIGABYTE takes it a step further by fine-tuning settings without interrupting the viewing experience. Unlike traditional displays that often require manual reminders for pixel cleaning, GIGABYTE OLED Care is calibrated to operate seamlessly in the background. This feature means that OLED Care can automatically adjust brightness levels after periods of inactivity, reducing risk of image retention. Importantly, if the user needs to resume work, brightness returns immediately to normal, ensuring uninterrupted productivity.
By integrating this technology, GIGABYTE OLED Care offers a unique balance, catering to real-world scenarios where unexpected tasks arise. This feature ensures users enjoy the benefits of OLED displays without unnecessary disruption — supporting both their workflow and the screen’s longevity.
OLED Care offers six essential features: Pixel Clean, Static Control, Pixel Shift, APL Stabilize, Sub-logo Dim, and Corner Dim. All of these protections run automatically, so you don’t have to track anything or manually activate any of them. They all run discreetly in the background, so you’ll never even notice they’re happening.
Vivid Color and Eye-Catching Visuals
When you first turn on a GIGABYTE OLED monitor, the first thing you’ll notice is the image clarity, sharpness, and how much the colors pop. That’s thanks to a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, and an ultra-wide color gamut of 99% DCI-P3. In layman’s terms, that means blacks are deeper, colors are brighter, and the contrast between the two makes both look better.
Ultra-Low Motion Blur for Clear Action
In 2022, the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) launched ClearMR, which measures monitors and provides a clear numerical value based on the ratio of clear pixels to blurry pixels. Essentially, it’s a standardized measurement that allows you to easily compare the amount of motion blur between displays. The highest tier is given a score of 13000, a mark GIGABYTE’s monitors reach. That means you can be confident you’re getting the lowest motion blur possible, which is particularly important for maximizing your gaming experience.
Whether you’re looking to elevate your competitive play or create an immersive gaming experience, GIGABYTE’s OLED gaming monitor lineup is full of options for gamers looking to level up their setup.
