Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q X Review - 32" 1440p at 270Hz!

Ғылым және технология

Today Dominic is taking a look at the Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q X gaming monitor. It's a 32-inch 1440p display with a 240Hz refresh rate - but it can even run at 270Hz via overclocking. It's not cheap though, currently on offer at £840 (down from £900), so is it worth buying? Read more here: bit.ly/3i7LG6Y

I also work from home so one screen would just be dedicated for multitasking multiple programs/windows open. At the now price of $350-399 US this seems like a solid choice for the features do you agree? Also would this be ok for a PS4 pro?

However I can't manage to set the monitor to 120 hz / 120 fps. This monitor has 2x HDMI 2.1 ports and I'm using Ultra HDMI cables as well but within the monitor settings it only shows 120 hz. As far as I understood I set everything on the PS5 right as well. Do you know what I'm doing wrong here?

    @@KitGuruTech Thing is the G7 is the only VA with fast response times and no dark level issues. In fact it beats most if not all IPS high hz monitors. Using the limited dimming zones option in SDR hides any backlight bleed plus no ips glow and takes the black levels to an almost proper FALD level. As long as you sit straight on and get used to the curve i can't think of any better 1440p high hz monitor to get. Even HDR is decent and if set right in game looks at least better than SDR. I got my 27" for under £500 and at 240hz i don't need g sync as tearing is a non issue.
