Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q3 Review (1440p/360Hz QD-OLED)

Rating: 8.5.

After checking out a few more affordable IPS monitors lately, today we are back on the OLED bandwagon with a review of the Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q3. Using the same 3rd Generation QD-OLED panel from Samsung that we saw in the MSI MPG 271QRX, this display is packing a 1440p resolution and 360Hz refresh rate, while also claiming up to 1000 nits brightness for HDR. Let's see if it's worth buying at the £800 asking price.
