The Gigabyte MO27Q28GR is a new 280Hz Tandem OLED monitor, now with a glossy panel for improved clarity and colors. Available now for $599.99, it arrives as a budget alternative to similar models already on the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header><\/div>\n

Gigabyte has now released the MO27Q28GR in the US after showcasing it last month during CES 2026. As we previously reported<\/a>, it’s built around the 280Hz Tandem OLED panel from LG Display, bringing upgrades like 1,500 nits peak brightness in HDR and improved color reproduction with 99.5% DCI-P3 coverage, all while consuming 20% less power compared to 3rd Gen WOLED monitors.\n<\/p>\n

As a result, this monitor is similar to the Gigabyte MO27Q28G<\/a> released in 2025. The main difference here is the display coating. While the older model has a matte finish, the new MO27Q28GR offers buyers a glossy option for the same 280Hz Tandem OLED panel, serving as an alternative to the Asus ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG<\/a> (curr: $649 at Amazon<\/a>). Both panel finishes have their own advantages, but glossy panels tend to deliver more vibrant colors and deeper blacks, especially in well-lit environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That said, the MO27Q28GR is priced at the same $599.99 at Amazon<\/a> as the matte version, making it $50 cheaper than the Asus ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG, which is currently available for $649. Moreover, the Gigabyte model adds a built-in KVM switch and a USB-C port, albeit with only 15W Power Delivery. On the other hand, spending $50 more on the Asus model gets you a proximity sensor designed to help reduce burn-in. Amazon lists a March 5 – 9 shipping date.\n<\/p>\n

The Gigabyte MO27Q28GR comes with the following ports: <\/p>\n
