Whlie the FO48U doesn’t get as bright as some high-end LED-backlit screens, its decent peak brightness, infinite contrast ratio and lack of backlight bleed more than make up for it and offer an overall more immersive viewing experience, especially in dark rooms. An sRGB mode is also provided for an accurate representation of sRGB content.Īll in all, you get an incredible image quality with true blacks, vivid colors and crisp details. The monitor also has a decent peak brightness of ~800-nits for HDR content, while the brightness under SDR amounts to 150-nits typical and 400-nits peak.ġ0-bit color depth is supported without dithering and you get a wide 98% DCI-P3 color space coverage. So, at a regular viewing distance (~ 4ft or 120cm), you won’t be able to distinguish individual pixels.
Image QualityĤK UHD resolution looks sharp even on a 48″ sized screen! You get roughly 92 pixels per inch, which is equivalent to the pixel density of a 24″ 1080p monitor.
So, you’re getting the same image quality and performance with an addition of a DisplayPort input, but without the TV tuner and smart OS – for around the same price. To be fair, the Gigabyte FO48U is nothing “new” as it’s based on the same 48″ OLED panel as LG’s 48″ 2020 CX and 2021 C1 TVs. The Gigabyte Aorus FO48U is the first viable (in terms of being reasonably priced and not drastically flawed) OLED gaming monitor available. Too big for regular desktop use for most users.It’s essentially the LG CX/C1 TV, but without the integrated smart TV features. If you’re looking for an OLED monitor for gaming, the Gigabyte Aorus FO48U is currently the best model available.
