Gigabyte MO27Q2A: Availability of new 280 Hz OLED gaming monitor revealed with $499 launch price suggested
Gigabyte has officially launched its first 280 Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor after showcasing it last month during Computex 2025 in Taipei. To recap, the MO27Q2A outputs at 2,560 x 1,440 pixels across a 27-inch (26.5-inch) surface. Also, the monitor boasts 0.03 ms GtG response times, 250 nits full panel brightness and 1,000 nits (3% APL) when viewing HDR content.
In that sense, the MO27Q2A shares many of its features with the existing MO27Q2 (curr. $679.99 on Amazon). However, the former should deliver slightly smoother visuals than the latter at 280 Hz versus 240 Hz. With that being said, 360 Hz and 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitors already exist with 1440p native resolutions, like the Aorus FO27Q3 that debuted last year for $799.
Seemingly, Gigabyte hopes to distinguish the MO27Q2A from earlier 27-inch and 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitors on price. According to TFTCentral, Gigabyte previously suggested that the monitor would retail for $499 in the US. Unfortunately, the company has not confirmed that in its press release, nor is the MO27Q2A available to purchase yet from any retailers. Please see Gigabyte's website for more details For reference, the monitor ships with the following I/O:
- 1x 3.5 mm jack
- 2x 5 W speakers
- 1x DisplayPort 1.4
- 2x HDMI 2.1
- 2x USB 3.2 Type-A downstream
- 1x USB 3.2 Type-B upstream
- 1x USB Type-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode/Upstream/18 W Power Delivery)
