Gigabyte makes 4K 240Hz OLED awesomeness that little bit more affordable.

This is our third try of a 4K OLED monitor and it's still awesome. Gigabyte's offering is the cheapest yet, but some slight calibration issues prevent it from being the obvious option.Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.Another day, another 32-inch, 240Hz, 4K OLED messiah monitor, this time from Gigabyte.

Like all other 32-inch 4K OLEDs you can actually buy right now, the Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2 uses Samsung QD-OLED panel tech. LG has a 32-inch WOLED in the works, but monitors based on that panel aren't available quite yet. At least, the USB-C would be an advantage if the power delivery wasn't limited to just 18W, which limits its utility rather a lot. For the record, there is an alternative FO32U2P model which ups the USB-C power delivery to 65W and upgrades the Displayport interface to 2.1 spec while also supporting Displayport out and daisychaining. Even this non-P model has full KVM switch capability, too, which is nice to see, however.

This monitor makes any LCD panel feel dated and slightly clunky in terms of everything from contrast and viewing angles to pixel response. We really are honing in on perfecting the art of 2D display tech with these 4K OLEDs. They're bloody gorgeous.They are not, however, perfect and there are some differences here despite the shared Samsung QD-OLED panel. Most obviously, Gigabyte has calibrated the FO32U2 with a slightly warmer colour temperature than the other two we've tested.

If you do that, there is just a little brightness variance as you resize, say, a mostly white browser window. But it's limited enough not to be a distraction. Ultimately, as with other 32-inch 4K OLEDs—and frankly every other OLED—we'd prefer a tiny bit more full-screen brightness headroom. But these latest panels are definitely closing in on brightness levels we can get behind.
