GIGABYTE AORUS Elite FO27Q28G vs GIGABYTE GO27Q24G Comparison
The GIGABYTE AORUS Elite FO27Q28G is the better overall gaming monitor because it offers a faster 280Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, 1500 cd/m² peak brightness and DisplayHDR 500 True Black, compared with 240Hz, 1300 cd/m² and DisplayHDR 400 True Black on the GO27Q24G. The GIGABYTE GO27Q24G still brings useful extras such as a Micro Lens Array+ coating, KVM, built-in 5W speakers and 1300 cd/m² peak brightness. For faster competitive gaming and stronger HDR, choose the FO27Q28G; for extra connectivity and everyday features, the GO27Q24G is the better alternative.
Both monitors use a 26.5-inch QHD OLED panel with 110 PPI and 10-bit color, but the panel designs are different. The FO27Q28G uses LG Display's Tandem WOLED technology, while the GO27Q24G uses a glossy Real Black Glossy WOLED design with Micro Lens Array+ (MLA+). Both offer a 1,500,000:1 static contrast ratio.
The FO27Q28G has the advantage for high-speed gaming with a native 280Hz refresh rate versus 240Hz on the GO27Q24G. Both support 48Hz-variable refresh, 0.03ms response time, AMD FreeSync, NVIDIA G-Sync, Crosshair, Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture, so the core gaming experience remains strong on both.
The FO27Q28G reaches 1500 cd/m² peak brightness and supports DisplayHDR 500 True Black, while the GO27Q24G is listed at 1300 cd/m² with DisplayHDR 400 True Black. Both support HDR10 and have very wide DCI-P3 coverage, but the FO27Q28G has the stronger HDR specification and slightly higher color coverage at 99.5% versus 99%.
The GO27Q24G is more flexible for a multi-device setup, offering KVM, built-in 2 x 5W speakers and 15W USB-C power delivery. The FO27Q28G instead has DisplayPort 2.1, plus USB-C video, DisplayPort Alt Mode and 5Gbps USB-C data. Both provide two HDMI 2.1 ports and a 3.5mm audio output.
