GIGABYTE AORUS Elite FO27Q24G vs GIGABYTE MO27Q28GR Comparison
The GIGABYTE MO27Q28GR is the better overall monitor, particularly for competitive gaming and users who want the newer OLED package. Both monitors use 26.5-inch 2560×1440 OLED panels with 240Hz refresh rates, 0.03ms response times, and support for both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync. The MO27Q28GR adds a newer 4-stack Primary RGB Tandem OLED design, 1500-nit peak brightness, and DisplayHDR 500 True Black, while the AORUS Elite FO27Q24G reaches 1300 nits and uses a glossy OLED finish. Choose the MO27Q28GR for higher HDR brightness and newer OLED technology. Choose the AORUS Elite FO27Q24G if you prefer its glossy screen and want a simpler 240Hz OLED gaming monitor.
The GIGABYTE AORUS Elite FO27Q24G uses an OLED panel from LG Display with a glossy anti-reflective finish, while the MO27Q28GR uses LG Display's 4-stack Primary RGB Tandem OLED structure with a fourth-generation design. Both deliver the same 2560×1440 resolution and 110 PPI, so the biggest difference is the underlying OLED technology and screen treatment rather than basic sharpness.
The MO27Q28GR has the stronger listed HDR specification, reaching 1500 cd/m² peak brightness and carrying a DisplayHDR 500 True Black rating. The FO27Q24G is rated at 1300 cd/m² and DisplayHDR 400 True Black. Both have 10-bit color and 1,500,000:1 contrast, so the MO27Q28GR's main advantage is its higher peak brightness and HDR certification.
Neither monitor has an advantage in maximum refresh rate because both run at 240Hz with a 0.03ms response time. Both also support AMD FreeSync, NVIDIA G-Sync, Crosshair, Picture-in-Picture, and Picture-by-Picture. The MO27Q28GR adds Black Equalizer, giving it an extra tool for improving visibility in darker game scenes, but the core high-refresh gaming experience is very similar.
The MO27Q28GR is much more useful for a multi-device setup. Both monitors include HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C video input, and 3.5mm audio, but MO27Q28GR adds two USB-A ports, USB-B upstream, KVM, and USB-C power delivery up to 18W. The FO27Q24G provides USB-C data at 5Gbps and 15W power delivery but lacks the built-in KVM and USB hub expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
The MO27Q28GR is the stronger overall monitor because it combines 240Hz gaming with newer OLED technology, higher peak brightness, DisplayHDR 500 True Black, and more connectivity features.
No. Both the MO27Q28GR and AORUS Elite FO27Q24G support a 240Hz refresh rate and list a 0.03ms response time, so refresh speed is not a deciding factor between them.
The MO27Q28GR has the stronger listed HDR specification with 1500-nit peak brightness and DisplayHDR 500 True Black, compared with 1300 nits and DisplayHDR 400 True Black on the FO27Q24G.
Yes. The FO27Q24G uses a glossy OLED design, while the MO27Q28GR uses a fourth-generation 4-stack Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel. Both are 26.5-inch 1440p OLED monitors.
The MO27Q28GR is the better hybrid choice because its KVM, USB hub, USB-B upstream, and 18W USB-C power delivery make it more flexible for switching between multiple devices.
Choose the MO27Q28GR for its newer OLED architecture, stronger HDR specification, and better connectivity. The FO27Q24G remains appealing if you specifically prefer a glossy OLED display.
