360Hz OLED King - Gigabyte FO27Q3 1440p Monitor Review
Gigabyte just released their new 1440p 360Hz QD OLED gaming monitor, and the performance is incredible. This monitor is so fast, that LCD has been made entirely obsolete. Not only that, but the contrast afforded by QD OLED and HDR allows it to be used for single player games as well.

    Thanks for the ICC profile, I saw the white color as very warm from the factory, after applying the profile I now see it perfect :), the monitor is truly amazing, I recommend it to everyone
  • @papasreyes4198
    Just waiting for rting's review. Am interested in input lag at lower refresh rates
  • @Mr.DennyB
    About alt+tabbing being slow, that happens when you use 10 bit color in Windows, i always used to use 10 bit color but i figured out it was the color bits resulting in the slow alt tabbing so and i changed it back to 8 bit.
  • @gabrielremy4220
    Not going to lie, I Was waiting to hear "Let's talk about it!" then i didnt see you.. then all of a sudden there's the mustache Lmao. Subscribed
  • @cesitar257
    Is it possible to use the ICC profile of this model on the 32-inch model? Would it look the same? thank you :)
  • @behnomnom7307
    how does it compare to the other qd oled 360hz monitors brightness wise? (SDR and HDR)
  • @flutek891
    Which version of HDMI 2.1? 48Gbps, 24Gbps, 6Gbps or else? Is it using DSC with HDMI?
  • @riotousomen1773
    the black screen while alt tabbing is not only on this oled. lots of non oled monitors have that issue. you jsut need to tweak some settings in nvida control panel
  • @Bmo.5000
    Why didn't this one make your favorite HDR list? Just curious since I see the 32' 4k version did.
  • @AbyssArcher
    Did you have any issues with eye strain or eye fatigue when using this monitor for extended periods of time? I had a MSI 271QPX (which uses the same QD-OLED panel as the FO27Q3), but I had to return it because it cause me so much eye strain. I also had the strange 4 seconds of black screen when alt-tabbing between apps sometime, but the 271QPX doesn't support firmware updates, so it was just another reason why I wanted to return it lol
  • @mosey4650
    so whenj, if ever, are OLED actually going to be not premium price wise?
  • @habeebs8784
    I have the msi 321urx get it trust me 4k looks stupid good
  • @wh3resmycar
    32inch version of this is what i’m looking for
  • @dbroncos090
    Just got this, and Its driving me nuts having 2-3 second black screens EVERY TIME I alt tab. Im running 360Hz 1440p 8 bit color over HDMI 2.1 with an RTX 4090, no VRR. At this setting it should not NEED DSC, but it is on anyway and causing the alt-tab black screens. Every monitor that uses DSC when paired with nvidia card (AFAIK) does this. Its fucking maddening. Any fixes you know of?
  • @playstationRLZ
    I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this exact monitor. I'm craving the pixel response times of oled. However, I'm rocking an acer predator that was one of the first 1440p 144hz ips displays to exist. I bought it in 2015 when it came out. 9 years is a long time and I'm glad it's lasted this long. When I'm spending this kind of money I want something to last and I'm afraid an oled won't last this long just because of burn in.
  • @jorgerodriguez-gf2zf
    Can you till the difference between the 1440p version compared to the 4k version in quality in oled display Or they look the same ? Stuck on picking
