Description

Head into battle online with the Gigabyte Aorus FO48U 48-inch 120Hz 4K gaming monitor. With its screen size of 48 inches or 122cm, you're gaming on a crossing between a gaming monitor and a television. In addition to PC gaming, the 120Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make this monitor suitable for console gaming as well. Connect your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S and impress your opponents. Aside from competitive games, open world games also benefit form this monitor. The HDR10 support combined with a 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 and 130% coverage of the sRGB color profiles produce realistic and lively colors. That means landscapes and skylines really come into their own while you game. On the OLED panel, you can experience this even better than on other panels. The pixels light up individually, so they create a realistic image. Are you heading into a dungeon? The pixels will be truly black. Do you have an AMD video card? No problem. The monitor has every version of FreeSync. This technology synchronizes your monitor and video card, so you can game without stuttering images.

Note: for 4K gaming, you need a powerful video card like a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, AMD Radeon RX 6000 series GPU, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X/S.

Review is 7,6 out of 10.

Worthless DP, but nice colors.

Super nice image (OLED ...)
Stable brackets, easy installation
Response time is (also with HDMI) very good.
Display port connection gives MEGA-many problems.

I bought it to play with HDR and 120Hz on the PC, but the Display-port software in this monitor has countless Bugs (screen flickering, and most annoying: random black screens that sometimes last for minutes). So out of necessity connected with HDMI (2.1). Fortunately, this does not have the problems that DP does have, only the refresh rate is then a maximum of 60Hz instead of 120Hz. So that's no different than with my old 4K monitor that costs less than half of this one. I'm not convinced that the beautiful OLED colors were worth this huge price.

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

An overwhelming experience with this OLED monitor.

Graphically beautiful
For the ps5 great gaming at 120 Hz with fast response time for shooters
Can also be used for working from home through displayport
A plus is that you can give the screen firmware updates, but only with a Windows computer

If you want to game on a beautiful OLED screen, but also want a fast response time, then I can definitely recommend this screen. You do sacrifice a bit in terms of color (4:2:0 instead of 4:4:4), but you do get the aforementioned advantages in return. And it still looks beautiful.

If the 48 inch is fine in size then I would definitely buy it for gaming and working from home.
