The Taiwanese manufacturer Gigabyte has released a new top OLED monitor for gaming with 165Hz and ultra-low latency. The Gigabyte Aorus FO32U is positioned directly below the Aorus FO32U2 – not only in terms of price but also in terms of features.
The new 31.5-inch 4K OLED gaming display has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, but it only achieves a refresh rate of 165 Hz instead of 240 Hz and has ClearMR 9000 instead of 13,000.
The new QD OLED screen for gaming also offers a 10-bit color depth, 0.03 ms response time (gray to gray), 99 percent DCI-P3, a contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, and a Delta-E value of less than 2.
The brightness is 250 cd/m² (SDR, 100 percent APL) or 1000 cd/m² ( HDR, 3 percent APL). FreeSync Premium Pro is on board for tear-free gaming sessions. The Ultra HD gaming monitor also features DisplayHDR True Black 400, a black stabilizer, picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes, and two built-in 5-watt speakers.
The selection of interfaces is extensive, with two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, a USB 3.2 hub, a headphone output, a microphone input, and USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode and 18-watt PD.
A KVM switch is included as well. For ergonomics, the Top OLED monitor for gaming offers tilt, rotation, height adjustment, pivot, blue light filtering, and VESA mounting (100 x 100 mm). In these aspects, the FO32U has the same features as the FO32U2.
The FO32U includes the Tactical Switch, a feature familiar to models like the FO32U2. This switch allows the display to shift to a 24-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) image when needed. Additionally, AI-supported OLED care features are included to reduce burn-in risks, all covered under a three-year warranty.
