Our Verdict
Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3
ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG
The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG and the Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 are both 1440p, 360Hz QD-OLEDs that compete against each other. They perform similarly and even have many of the same features, including a USB hub and KVM switch, but the USB-C port on the ASUS delivers more power than that on the Gigabyte.

Looking for a personalized buying advice from the RTINGS.com experts? Insiders have direct access to buying advice on our insider forum.
Hi, the two monitors are so close in performance that you honestly can’t go wrong with either. Our recommendations consider things like availability and price, and we’ve noticed that the Gigabyte is up and down in availability. It’s hard to recommend that because we don’t have the resources to always update the articles when it goes out of stock. That said, when the Gigabyte is available, it’s definitely worth getting!
Why do so many articles recommend an ASUS monitor, while a Gigabyte monitor is better in almost everything?
