Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P: what it gives up
- The DisplayPort 2.1 advantage only exists if the graphics card has a UHBR20 output, and most installed cards do not
- 250 nits of full-field SDR behind a semi-glossy coating, so a window behind you shows up in the picture
- 65 W over USB-C holds a thin-and-light but not a 16-inch workstation under load
- $1,199 is flagship pricing for a panel several rivals here sell for less
Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3: what it gives up
- Glossy QD-OLED at 250 nits full-field wants a room with controlled light
- Text sits at ordinary 1440p density with QD-OLED subpixel fringing on top of it
- USB-C is 18 W, so it is a KVM uplink rather than a laptop dock
