I was about to buy the Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 from Amazon when I noticed the dreaded:

Frequently returned See product details and customer reviews

I spent days trying to understand what the issue is but I haven’t found anything from the customer reviews/product details. When I separate the reviews based on the FO27Q3 alone (as they lump up all the reviews into a single portal only separated by individual make/model) I don’t get anything out of the ordinary. The only issue I found were reddit posts: -No DSC toggle (but none in this segment have it, right?)

-OLED Care doesn’t work after 4 hours use and put into standby mode. “Aorus fo27q3 impressions”

-Test Mode Bug after cleaning bricks the monitor to only show red, blue, green, blac and white screen “Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q3 Test Mode Issue”

• Convoluted procedure to register the product. Not only do you need a serial number but a four digit code which is normally not found on the monitor. Sometimes it’s found on a label on the side of the box itself. It appears that some of the monitors may have been shipped without this code number.

But nothing concrete. These appear to be isolated cases. But nothing specific that would address why the monitor has a “Frequent returned” label from amazon. Could you shed some light on the subject? In particular the Test Mode Bug that some are complaining about after cleaning. It’s not clear what firmware they are on though.
