Gigabyte’s latest OLED gaming monitor looks like a dream, but living with it was more complicated
Gigabyte's MO27U2 gaming monitor features a UHD QD-OLED panel and a fast refresh rate, making it suitable for both gaming and work. However, its high price point and subpar HDR performance may deter potential buyers. While it offers impressive color vibrancy, the overall user experience is hampered by awkward settings and a limited companion app.
- ▪The monitor has a fast 240Hz refresh rate and a low-reflection glossy coating.
- ▪Despite its strengths, the MO27U2 is considered expensive and has mediocre HDR performance.
- ▪Users may find the settings adjustments frustrating and the companion app barely functional.
