I’ve said in the past that it’s hard to differentiate between OLED monitors. They all have accurate, saturated color and infinite contrast. They all run with no motion blur at speeds above 150 fps. And they all come with premium builds. Even prices are close, with around a $75 spread from lowest to highest for a given size and resolution.
But if one can be called the best OLED gaming monitor, it’s the Aorus FO27Q2. It has all the traits I just listed, plus a little more color volume and significantly lower input lag.
I measured 13ms of total lag in my tests. This breaks the previous record by 2ms. That alone doesn’t seem huge until you realize that the previous record was held by Asus’ 480 Hz PG27AQDP. The FO27Q2 wins the day at 240fps.
With Quantum Dot tech, it crests the 110% line for color volume with a hair more than the next best AOC AG276QZD2. Since that monitor doesn’t have variable brightness, the FO27Q2 handily beats it in overall picture quality. It also boasts better accuracy than just about anything out there, regardless of screen type. It was so good out of the box that I could not improve it with calibration. For all intents and purposes, its color is flawless for both DCI-P3 and sRGB content. Its infinite contrast delivers benchmark HDR quality with the ability to adjust parameters to the user’s liking.
Aside from a lack of LED lighting, I can’t say anything negative about the Aorus FO27Q2. It’s one of the very best gaming monitors I’ve ever reviewed. Definitely check it out.
