Here’s how it works. 75 Gigabyte GO27Q24G review This cheaper WOLED gaming monitor comes at an image quality cost. Reviews By Jeremy Laird published 13 April 2026 0 Comments Join the conversation (Image: © Future) Our Verdict 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. For Cheaper than its next-gen WOLED sibling Same slick chassis and features Good peak HDR performance Against Relatively low res Noticeably duller and dingier Not the cheapest WOLED around PC Gamer’s got your back Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.

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.Swipe to scroll horizontallyGigabyte GO27Q24G specsScreen size27-inchResolution2,560 x 1,440Brightness275 nits full-screen, 1,300 nits HDR 1.5% APLResponse time0.03 msRefresh rate240 HzHDRDisplayHDR TrueBlack 400FeaturesLG WOLED panel, adaptive sync, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C with 18 W (45 W dynamic) PDPrice$499 | £449 (estimated)Buy if…✅ You want affordable OLED tech: The Gigabyte GO27Q24G isn’t the very cheapest OLED monitor around, but it is pretty affordable and its street price will probably improve over time.Don’t buy if…❌ You want a cutting-edge OLED experience: Compared to LG’s newer WOLED panel, this older-gen display is noticeably duller and dingier.Specs-wise, the older WOLED panel tech means 275 rather than 335 nits full-screen brightness and 1,300 peak HDR nits in a 1.5% window. The latest WOLED panel is rated at 1,500 nits peak HDR. The GO27Q24G also only has VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and therefore doesn’t get the upgrade to True Black 500.Another differentiation point is the refresh rate, albeit not to a dramatic extent. Gigabyte has specced this monitor up to 240 Hz, where the MO27Q28GR is good for a few more frames per second, namely 280 Hz. That 40 Hz gap, however, isn’t a convincing reason to favour the more expensive monitor.Rounding the panel specs out are 0.03 ms response times and 99% coverage to the DCI-P3 colour gamut. The pricier MO27Q28GR panel is quoted at 99.5% of DCI-P3, but honestly that’s a fairly academic distinction that probably exists primarily for market differentiation as opposed to being something you’d actually benefit from or notice in use. (Image credit: Future)For the record the GO27Q24G has a glossy panel coating, just like the MO27Q28GR. Given the “R” in MO27Q28G stands for “RealBlack Glossy” and the GO27Q24G, too, has that very same RealBlack Glossy anti-glare coating, you could say that’s a bit odd. But then, since when did monitor model names make the slightest bit of sense?The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware dealsKeep up to date with the most important stories and the best de
