With the MO27Q28G, Gigabyte is launching a gaming monitor with strong features at a surprisingly affordable price. For 569 euros, buyers receive a 27-inch tandem OLED display with a frame rate of 280 Hz, a peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits and a modern design without a wide bottom edge. The model thus competes against more expensive OLED options and sets an exclamation mark in the hotly contested gaming market.
- 27-inch tandem OLED panel with 2,560 × 1,440 pixels
- 280 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms response time
- HDR peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits, 99.5% DCI-P3 coverage
- Price: 569 euros, three-year warranty including burn-in protection
OLED power in everyday gaming
While OLED monitors have long been regarded as expensive premium products, Gigabyte is shaking up the pricing with the MO27Q28G. The new tandem OLED panel promises higher brightness and longer durability than classic variants. Users benefit from 335 nits of full-surface brightness and a whopping 1,500 nits in HDR peaks, which ensures impressive displays, especially in games with a high contrast range.
The picture quality is clearly aimed at gamers and content creators: In addition to the extremely fast frame rate of 280 Hz and a response time of just 0.03 milliseconds, the monitor covers the DCI-P3 color space almost completely (99.5%) and BT.2020 to 84%. This means that both fast-paced shooters and detailed role-playing games can benefit from the special color depth and sharpness. E-sports fans in particular, who rely on minimal delays, should find the monitor an exciting option.
Variety of connections and ergonomic design
Gigabyte has equipped the MO27Q28G with modern features that make it attractive for both gaming setups and productive use. Two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 and a USB-C port with up to 18 watts of power delivery are available. There is also an integrated USB hub with two ports and speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s.
Ergonomics are not neglected either: the stand allows height adjustment up to 13 centimeters, can be tilted and rotated into portrait format. There are also integrated 2 x 5 watt speakers, which are sufficient for multimedia use or casual gaming without a headset. Visually, it is noticeable that Gigabyte has removed the wide chin of the previous model, making the panel appear almost frameless. The anti-reflective surface also improves visibility.
Longer service life thanks to panel protection
OLED panels are often criticized for possible burn-in effects. Gigabyte addresses this problem with several measures in the MO27Q28G: In addition to a special “AI OLED Care” feature that dynamically adjusts static content, there is a three-year manufacturer’s warranty that also covers burn-in. This sets the monitor apart from many of its competitors, which do not offer comparable protection. This security is a great advantage, especially for intensive gaming sessions or long-term use as the main PC monitor.
Conclusion
The Gigabyte MO27Q28G is currently one of the most exciting gaming monitors on the market. A tandem OLED panel, 280 Hz frame rate, HDR peak brightness of 1,500 nits and comprehensive connections at a price of 569 euros make this model a serious alternative in the premium segment. With burn-in protection, a three-year warranty and many convenient functions, it is an attractive choice for both ambitious gamers and multimedia users.
