Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P Flat QD-OLED: 32" 4K 240Hz with DisplayPort 2.1, KVM

June is the arrival date for these monitors en masse. Short supply until then most likely.

I can wait until June, I'm sure I can! Only 2 more months.

To be fair this is the display that makes the most sense to order around the time the next AMD/Nvidia card drops out of all the monitors, you're not getting what you paid for at launch (in my case anyway) I'm hoping the 5090 utilises the full bandwidth of this monitor and isn't reliant on DSC at all, but we shall see.

So turns out I couldn't. I spotted this on preorder at a UK competitor at a not too crazy price of £1300. Much less than ordering from Germany. No idea when it's expected in and if overclockers list it too ill probably switch my order over. I think it only got listed yesterday at the other place.

The fact they're bigging up daisy chaining on the marketing page for this interests me a lot, would love to see that come back as common feature on monitors. If this allows me to do 240hz and daisy chain my M28U @ 120hz i'll be a very happy chap.

I cancelled my order for this reason as well, no point paying a £500 premium if its due in the next month, but equally not going to commit to a preorder when their dates constantly change.

Ouch, just got an email stating the 4th of July, I imagine there'll be more places with it listed by then. Maybe even some stock

I had fomo for 4 days and back to being grounded and reasonable I can get the Dell 32" and 27" for the same price I was going to get this monitor... so may consider it just to try out what I'm missing on.

My only issue with the gigabyte is if a future gpu doesn't utilise the full bandwidth capabilities. Then we bought a monitor that's not even being utilised for its primary differentiator from the competition

The KVM is the big selling point for me. Once I include a 4k240hz KVM it's practically the same price. I'd rather not have yet another piece of hardware sitting on my desk.

Well hopefully you're lucky and you get the May stock.

Gonna stick to my original plan of a 32" WOLED when the prices become a little more sane late in the year.

the 240/480hz option?

smart choice

Also just reminded if this hits in July/August. I'll pick a 5090 over it anyway, got to scrounge those pennies up

Yeah man, my PG42UQ has been faultless since they fixed all the HDR gubbins so I'm sticking with WOLED. Especially with it using the new pixel sub-structure for improved text

Probably a stupid question, but does VRR flicker affect both WOLED and QD-OLED equally? I'm guessing so, but if there was any difference at all that would sway my buying choice!

Looked promising until I read the comments! Seems someone with a 27" WOLED experiences flicker too.

Seems it's just lessened on WOLED, but low fps doesn't seem to help either.

Another 32-inch 4K OLED announced at CES. This is one of the few with DisplayPort 2.1 for those looking to future proof.

Displayport 2.1 is needed to display 4k 240 Hz without compression as 60 Gbps bandwidth is required and DP 2.1 manages 80 Gbps.

Overclockers now have this listed, I've switched my preorder over. No idea when they'll get stock in.

No idea when they'll get stock in.

Someone on Reddit mentioned a small amount landing in 2/3 weeks, unsure where he got the info.

Yea that's where I saw the listing. Also no idea where he got the info.
