Gigabyte's tried to create an affordable 1440p OLED using an oled LG panel, but the visual trade-off, means it just doesn't quite feel affordable enough for the experience you're getting.

Cheaper than its next-gen WOLED sibling

Same slick chassis and features

Good peak HDR performance

Noticeably duller and dingier

Not the cheapest WOLED around

How much better are the very latest OLED panels and are they actually worth paying a premium? Handily, the Gigabyte GO27Q24G is here to answer that very question. Because it's pretty much identical to the Gigabyte MO27Q28GR I reviewed just recently. The difference is that it makes do with an older LG WOLED panel, not the fancy new 4th Gen LG Primary RGB Tandem OLED of the pricier M-series monitor model.

Speaking of expense, the Gigabyte GO27Q24G weighs in at precisely $100 cheaper than its higher-specified WOLED cousin. But in every other regard, it's virtually identical including exactly the same threads. And that's unambiguously a good thing.

In a market stuffed with slightly cheesy monitors saddled with adolescent styling details, the Gigabyte GO27Q24G is mature but slick and minimalist. It's also very nicely built, with the same metal base and stand as the MO27Q28GR, which offers a full range of adjustment including pivot into portrait mode.
