AORUS FO48U: 48-inch 4K 120Hz OLED gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1 tech

The new flagship AORUS FO48U is the big daddy of them all rocking a huge 48-inch panel, and still rocking 4K 120Hz — meanwhile the smaller siblings crank up a bit higher to 4K 144Hz. All of the monitors have HDMI 2.1 connectivity that allows 4K 120Hz while GIGABYTE goes all-out using OLED panels on the new AORUS gaming monitors.

OLED panels deliver the best blacks, deep beautiful colors and instant response — making them one of, if not the best choice for gamers. With the new AORUS gaming monitors coming in 32-inch, 43-inch, and 48-inch sizes all offering 4K 120Hz and HDMI 2.1 at a minimum, the huge 48-inch AORUS FO48U now joins the LG 48-inch 4K 120Hz OLED TV as an OLED-based 48-inch display with 4K 120Hz for the ultimate in gaming.

GIGABYTE includes VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, esports-grade 144Hz refresh rate and 0.5 super-fast response on the smaller 32-inch and 43-inch AORUS gaming monitors. The bigger 48-inch model drops down to 120Hz but I don’t think most people would tell the difference between 120/144FPS.

I’m really wanting to check these new AORUS gaming monitors out, after reviewing the AORUS FI27Q-P gaming monitor with its 27-inch size (too small) but ample (for the size) 2560 x 1440 resolution and super-smooth 165Hz refresh rate — I’m keen to see what GIGABYTE has pulled off here with its next-gen AORUS gaming monitors.
