This 27-inch OLED monitor is the Aorus FO27Q3. It has an insane 360 Hz, 1440P display that, when paired with a 3rd Gen Samsung OLED panel, makes it insanely responsive and absolutely beautiful to look at from any angle!

    Got this monitor 5 days ago and absolutely love it. The colors are so good to look at, the higher resolution is life changing I've never seen games look that good before, the low response rate is like real time, and although switching from 240hz to 360hz I didn't really notice a difference it was still buttery smooth. Something worth noting, which I haven't seen discussed about the monitor and should really be mentioned, is that at least with mine, my color configurations reset after turning off and on or even changing inputs. This can be somewhat annoying. However, after messaging GIGABYTE, they informed me that they are aware of this issue and are currently working on an update to fix it. There is no ETA yet, but the update should be coming in the next few weeks.

    @TechHunter ... where did you get the wall paper on your display in the video?
  • @twinstarunruly4129
    I had this monitor and send it back I love it to the point where I wanted to keep it but it was bright enough and i was wondering if it was because I use mine for console
  • @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?
  • @doximanman
    Would be nice to see input lag at different refresh rates
  • @techgirl517
    Question: have this monitor too the pixel shifting function?
  • @duffvader6731
    Cheap af in Singapore and available readily unlike the other brands.
  • @zbastian
    rather weird choice of ports. if you exclude the type C, you can't really have a generic 3 monitor setup because most GPUs have 3x DP and 1x HDMI, while the monitor has only one DP and 2 HDMI.
