Asus ROG Zephyrus review: G-Sync OLED and Meteor Lake

The AORUS FO27Q3, Gigabyte’s first 27-inch gaming monitor powered by a Samsung Display Gen 3 QD-OLED screen, has pricing information available for purchase in the United States. At $799.99, the Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 displays at 1440p with a refresh rate of 360 Hz, making it a $100 less expensive than the Dell Alienware AW2725DF.

The first firm to market a 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor with 360 Hz refresh rate and 1440p resolution was Dell. Cheaper alternatives, though, have quickly overtaken the company. For instance, MSI began offering the MPG 271QRX QD-OLED for sale last month; we have already gone over all the specifics in our separate coverage.

In the US, MSI charged less for the monitor than Dell, however in the UK and the Eurozone, the Alienware AW2725DF costs less than the MPG 271QRX QD-OLED. Newegg has now revealed the AORUS FO27Q3’s US price in advance of the monitor’s official launch. Regretfully, Newegg has not disclosed the exact time that pre-orders will open. Similarly, even though Gigabyte listed the monitor on its website late last month, the company has not yet disclosed a release date.

However, Newegg has confirmed that the AORUS FO27Q3 will retail for $799.99, undercutting the Alienware AW2725DF by $100 while matching the price of the MPG 271QRX QD-OLED. Notable features of the AORUS FO27Q3 stand include a 130 mm height, -5°~+20° tilt, +/-20° swivel, and -0°~+90° pivot adjustments, making it more adaptable than its competitors. Gigabyte also has separate 3.5 mm headphone and microphone ports, as opposed to the Alienware AW2725DF and MPG 271QRX QD-OLED, which have a single integrated option. Having said that, the USB 3.0 ports on the AORUS FO27Q3 are superior to the USB 3.2 ones found in the Alienware AW2725DF, and it has a weaker USB Type-C port (18 W Power Delivery) than its competitors.
