Gigabyte Launches AORUS OLED Gaming Monitors in Australia
Two 27-inch QHD OLED monitors with 280Hz and 240Hz refresh rates are now available through selected Australian retailers.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in eSports
Gigabyte has launched its AORUS ELITE FO27Q28G and FO27Q24G OLED gaming monitors in Australia through selected retailers. Both are 27-inch QHD models with a quoted 0.03ms grey-to-grey response time.
Why it matters
The launch brings high refresh rate OLED gaming displays to the Australian market, with features aimed at brightness and burn-in management. Gigabyte also notes that OLED panels can appear dimmer in some HDR peak brightness modes due to Average Picture Level limits.
The FO27Q28G offers a 280Hz refresh rate and 1,500 nits peak HDR brightness, while the FO27Q24G offers 240Hz and 1,300 nits, both with a quoted 0.03ms response time. Gigabyte's figures are manufacturer claims and have not been independently verified, and retail pricing was not disclosed.
The players
Gigabyte
Gigabyte is a Taiwanese manufacturer of computer hardware, including motherboards, graphics cards and gaming peripherals, sold under brands such as AORUS.
The details
Both monitors use RealBlack Glossy screens with a stated 1.1% reflection rate and support G-Sync Compatible and FreeSync Premium Pro. The FO27Q28G uses a fourth-generation Primary RGB Tandem WOLED panel, and the FO27Q24G uses a third-generation WOLED panel with MLA+ technology.
Timeline
4 November 2026: Gigabyte launches the AORUS ELITE FO27Q28G and FO27Q24G OLED monitors in Australia.
Roadmap
The FO27Q28G uses a fourth-generation Primary RGB Tandem WOLED panel, while the FO27Q24G uses a third-generation WOLED panel with MLA+ technology, placing the two models at different points in this panel lineage. The launch extends Gigabyte's OLED gaming range into the Australian market as high refresh rate OLED monitors become more common.
Buyers in Australia can find the monitors through selected retailers, and the quoted 280Hz and 240Hz refresh rates suit fast-paced competitive titles. Pricing was not included in the source, so buyers should check retailer listings before deciding.
The takeaway
OLED gaming monitors can lose some HDR brightness depending on how much of the screen is bright, so buyers should check the Average Picture Level behaviour alongside the headline peak brightness figure. Features such as pixel cleaning and HyperNits are designed to manage those trade-offs.
