GIGABYTE AORUS Elite FO27Q28G vs GIGABYTE AORUS Elite FO27Q24G Comparison
The GIGABYTE AORUS Elite FO27Q28G is the better overall gaming monitor, offering a faster 280Hz refresh rate, 1500 cd/m² peak brightness and DisplayHDR 500 True Black, compared with 240Hz, 1300 cd/m² and DisplayHDR 400 True Black on the FO27Q24G. Both monitors use a 26.5-inch QHD OLED panel with 110 PPI, 10-bit color, 0.03ms response time, FreeSync and G-Sync support. The FO27Q28G also upgrades connectivity with DisplayPort 2.1, while the FO27Q24G uses DisplayPort 1.4. For competitive gaming and stronger HDR, choose the FO27Q28G; for a very similar OLED experience at 240Hz, the FO27Q24G remains a solid option.
The biggest difference is speed. The FO27Q28G supports a native 280Hz refresh rate and a 48–280Hz range, while the FO27Q24G reaches 240Hz with a 48–240Hz range. Both list a 0.03ms minimum response time and support AMD FreeSync, NVIDIA G-Sync, Crosshair, Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture.
The FO27Q28G offers higher specified brightness at 1500 cd/m², compared with 1300 cd/m² on the FO27Q24G. It also carries DisplayHDR 500 True Black, while the FO27Q24G is rated DisplayHDR 400 True Black. Both support HDR10 and have a very high 1,500,000:1 static contrast ratio, while the newer model also reaches 99.5% DCI-P3 versus 98.5%.
The FO27Q28G has the newer DisplayPort 2.1 interface, while the FO27Q24G uses DisplayPort 1.4. The rest of the connectivity package is closely matched, with two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C video input, DisplayPort Alt Mode, 5Gbps USB-C data and 15W USB-C power delivery on both models.
Both are 26.5-inch OLED monitors using LG Display panels with the same QHD resolution, 110 PPI and glossy Real Black Glossy coating. The FO27Q28G uses Tandem WOLED, while the FO27Q24G does not specify a separate OLED technology in the supplied data. Their stand features are also identical, including 130mm height adjustment, 15-degree swivel and portrait mode.
