GIGABYTE introduces a new range of gaming monitors AORUS OLED during CES 2024 in Las Vegas. In this new area is the first DP2.1 UHBR20 gaming monitor in the world. This range includes new models in 32″ 4K 240Hzbut also 27″ 360Hz or even one 34″ Ultrawide 240 Hz. This is the flagship modelAORUS FO32U2P which shows a sign QD OLED from 32″a definition 4Ka refresh rate of 240Hz and is even listed as inclusive DisplayPort 2.1 with seemingly full bandwidth capacity UHBR20.
Before we take a closer look FO32U2P, here's a quick look at the entire new range of AORUS OLED screens:
- AORUS FO27Q3: 27″, 2560×1440, 360 Hz
- AORUS FO32U2: 32″, 3840×2160, 240 Hz, HDMI 2.1 FRL 12G connectivity
- AORUS FO32U2P: 32″, 3840×2160, 240 Hz, DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR 20
- AORUS MO34WQC: 34″, 3440×1440 (21:9), 240 Hz
- AORUS MO34WQC2: 34″, 3440×1440 (21:9), 240 Hz, 0.03 ms, 99% DCI-P3, curved
GIGABYTE AORUS FO32U2P: The screen that plays with the highest bandwidth!
This is the new flagship model of GIGABYTE's gaming division. This screen offers a panel QD OLED with a diagonal of 32″ (exactly 31.5″) come from Samsung displaywith a definition of 3840×2160 pixels and a refresh rate of 240Hz. Many other displays with the same panel have been announced by Dell, MSI, Samsung and ASUS, but the main difference to the model isAORUS is that they specifically list the DisplayPort 2.1 standard (apparently with full UHBR20 bandwidth) in their specs and announcements.
This would make it the first gaming monitor announced to date with the full bandwidth capacity of DisplayPort 2.1. Even the gigantic 57″ Samsung Odyssey G95NC with its dual 4K resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate does not use UHBR 20, as this model uses UHBR13.5. Of course, there are currently no mainstream graphics cards that support UHBR20, which could likely make testing and development of this display very difficult and potentially delay its launch. The FO32U2P's DisplayPort also supports daisy chain, making it easy to set up multiple monitors with less cable clutter.
This display also has a number of “tactical” gaming features, including a dedicated button for switching between different screen sizes and resolutions simulated for different gaming genres, including, for example, 24 inches at 1080p for competitive gaming. Gigabyte also introduced its “OLED Care” measures, which are a series of AI-driven solutions to address image burn-in issues on the OLED panel.
As for the specifications, there is a response time specification G2G from 0.03msa report from Contrast 1.5 million:1a range of colors DCI-P3 from 99% and substandard certification VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black (Not to be confused with HDR 400 for LCD screens).
On the other hand, the company hasn't mentioned a release date, but we expect it to launch in the first half of 2024. There is also a similar model, the FO32U2, which appears to have the same panel and features, with the exception of the DisplayPort 2.1 connection, which would remain on DP 1.4.
