Anyone bought the Gigabyte AORUS FI27Q yet?

Vidar · 24 Oct 2019 at 18:58

Just wondering if anyone has bought this yet and what you think so far?

Looking at changing from my Predator x34 to something a bit faster and smoother, and this has caught my eye...

Yeah am waiting for that but it seems Gigabyte has messed up the launch a bit cause Ocuk weren't made aware of the P variant and even the Gigabyte Vendor reps don't seem to know what's going on.

The FI27Q-P is on sale in Germany at the moment.

Another DP 1.4 monitor thats slated for release " soon "

What’s so good about DP 1.4?

Warranty_V0id · 24 Oct 2019 at 19:53

DP 1.4 has enought bandwidth to run at

2560 x 1440
10 bit colour
165 hz
HDR (even tho its not real HDR)

With DP 1.2 you'd have to run at 8 bit colour at 165Hz

Was just about to write that myself, lol. @robfosters If I'm buying a new monitor I want one that's going to get the most out of any new gpu I put in my rig over the years I have it.

The XG270QG has DP 1.2, not DP 1.4. It doesn't support HDR and uses an internal dithering process, so it doesn't need DP 1.4.

Warranty_V0id · 24 Oct 2019 at 20:03

Also the Lenovo Legion Y27Q-20 & Acer Nitro VG272UP seems to be the same screen as the LG 27GL850-B. The Legion is DP 1.4 the Acer spec says DP 1.4 but it seems to be limited to DP 1.2 might be a firmware issue.

Evian · 24 Oct 2019 at 22:27

Waiting for that to be released along with the ViewSonic to see what's better along with the new LG.

Vidar · 25 Oct 2019 at 14:25

Still waiting for news on the P variant... @GIGA-Man any news on the FI27Q-P?

- How the first-generation of g-sync could supports the DCI-P3 color gamut ? Since it should be only supported by G-SYNC Ultimate..

We already know this monitor didn't bring hdr because of g-sync.

PCM2 · 25 Oct 2019 at 20:23

Colour gamut is dictated by the backlight. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the G-SYNC module or other hardware in a display.

Tokuten · 25 Oct 2019 at 21:11

Ok thanks i understand so how to explain this tftcentral's comment when they reviewed lg 34gk950g

on the G model was the lack of an sRGB mode in the OSD menu. This meant that there was no preset mode which could offer an emulation of the smaller sRGB space. You are always going to need to operate the screen in its native wide gamut [...] This is because of the use of the G-sync module, and lack of an additional scaler/electronics on the G model.

PCM2 · 25 Oct 2019 at 21:45

Emulation of the sRGB colour space is usually something G-SYNC models can't do. G-SYNC Ultimate models being the exception there (and the Acer XB273K P). But that has nothing to do with the native gamut, which is dictated by the backlight and a completely separate issue not limited or controlled by G-SYNC being present or not.

Does anyone know the difference between this AORUS FI27Q and the AORUS AD27QD? Comparing specs the only difference seems to be the refresh rate (and 144 is just fine for me!)

FI27Q is the same but with 165hz
FI27Q-P is the same but with 165hz and DisplayPort 1.4 (10bit at higher refresh rate)

I don’t believe it’s been officially confirmed what the hardware differences are. Perhaps the new monitor has better quality control. Perhaps it’s a higher binned panel. Perhaps it’s a slightly different panel altogether.

I think there are a few Owners of the first gen monitor that are concerned with the short time the monitor was sold before being replaced with a better monitor. I’d wait for the official reviews to know for sure.

almoststew1990 · 28 Oct 2019 at 15:07

So the FI27 is the replacement for the AD27?
