Gigabyte has announced a new AORUS ELITE gaming monitor lineup at Computex 2026, targeting different kinds of gamers with displays that can switch between sharper visuals and faster refresh rates.
The new series includes multiple OLED models, but the AORUS ELITE FM275K16P is the star of the show. This 27-inch monitor features a 5K Mini LED panel with a glossy finish and 218 PPI pixel density, which is unusually sharp for a gaming-focused display. Gigabyte also says the monitor uses 2,304-zone local dimming, which should help with contrast and HDR control.
Gigabyte wants one monitor to do multiple jobs
The FM275K16P’s main trick is Multi Mode support. Users can switch between 5K at 165Hz, 4K at 220Hz, and QHD at 330Hz, depending on whether they want maximum sharpness or faster gameplay. That makes it more flexible than a typical high-resolution gaming monitor, especially for users who want one screen for work, streaming, movies, and competitive gaming.
The monitor also gets AI Super Resolution, which Gigabyte says is designed to sharpen upscaled images. That feature is exclusive to the FM275K16P in this lineup.
The OLED models focus on speed
The rest of the AORUS ELITE lineup uses fourth-generation Tandem OLED panels with a RealBlack Glossy surface and up to 1,500 nits of HDR peak brightness.
The AORUS ELITE FO32U24GP is the top 32-inch OLED model in the lineup. It supports 4K at 240Hz and 1080p at 480Hz. It also gets DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20, offering up to 80Gbps of bandwidth. For users who want a smaller OLED option, the FO27Q28G brings a 27-inch QHD panel with a 280Hz refresh rate.
The FO27Q54G is where Gigabyte appears to be going after the serious esports crowd. It is a 27-inch QHD Tandem OLED monitor that can hit 540Hz at QHD and 720Hz at 720p. That puts it up against ASUS’ ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and AOC’s Q27G4KDP, both of which are also built around the same QHD 540Hz and 720p 720Hz dual-mode idea.
This combination makes the monitor appeal to players who want esports-level speed without moving to a lower-quality panel. Pricing and exact release dates have not been confirmed yet.
