The Gigabyte AORUS FI127Q-P box hints at a feature of the monitor we haven't mentioned yet – an illuminated stand.
Within the box, alongside a choice of power cords, are HDMI and DisplayPort cables. There's upstream USB 3.0 wiring and a little plastic D that you can attach on the rear to help with cable management.
The theme of the FI27Q-P's design essentially revolves around different types of black, with both matt and glossy finishes. The stand is quite minimal and angular, although the carry hold at the top will come in handy (literally) if you use this screen at a LAN and need to cart it around.
Adjustment abilities are comprehensive. You can raise and lower the panel through a range of 130mm. The swivelling ability is a fairly limited 20 degrees in either direction. Tilting can be 5 degrees forward to 21 degrees backward, and there's the facility to rotate the entire screen into portrait mode too.
The little row of contacts on the plate on the stand that slots into the panel shows how lighting power is transferred from the main unit. But, of course, HBR3 is the main standout feature of the FI27Q-P.
The port allocation is merely reasonable rather than generous, with two HDMI 2.0 connections and a single DisplayPort 1.4 input. There's an upstream socket for USB 3.0, but only two downstream. Minijacks are included for microphone as well as headphones.
The built-in menu is controlled via a joystick in the middle underneath the bezel, which is also used for powering the unit on and off.
