Our Verdict
Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3
ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG
The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG and the Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 are both 1440p, 360Hz QD-OLEDs that compete against each other. They perform similarly and even have many of the same features, including a USB hub and KVM switch, but the USB-C port on the ASUS delivers more power than that on the Gigabyte.
