Gigabyte launches glossy 27-inch OLED gaming monitor
Gigabyte has launched the MO27Q28GR OLED gaming monitor in Australia, adding a glossy-screen option to its 27-inch QHD OLED range.
The new model is a variant of the existing MO27Q28G, which has a matte finish. With the MO27Q28GR, Gigabyte now offers both glossy and matte versions of its 4th Gen WOLED gaming monitors.
The display uses a 27-inch QHD panel from LG Display based on 4th Gen WOLED technology. It features Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology, a 280Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms response time.
The screen reaches up to 1500 nits peak HDR brightness, covers 99.5% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, and carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification.
Screen finish
The main difference in the new model is its glossy surface. Gigabyte says the RealBlack Glossy WOLED panel uses a zero-haze optical layer to reduce light diffusion and preserve dark detail in brighter environments.
It also includes an anti-reflective coating to reduce visible reflections. Gigabyte is positioning the glossy version as an alternative for users who prefer a different finish from the matte model already on sale.
Image tuning
The monitor also introduces a feature called HyperNits. Gigabyte says it adjusts the EOTF curve to address dimmer visuals in peak brightness modes and can increase brightness by up to 30% while preserving highlight detail.
Users can choose between High and Medium settings, depending on whether they want a stronger brightness boost or a more measured change in darker scenes.
The monitor includes several gaming-focused functions, including Tactical Switch 2.0 for changing resolution and aspect ratio settings, Ultra Clear for motion handling, and VRR Anti-Flicker for stabilising visuals when frame rates fluctuate.
Design and protection
The MO27Q28GR uses a four-sided borderless design. It also includes AI OLED Care, a panel protection system designed to identify higher-risk areas for image retention and perform maintenance in the background.
Gigabyte has paired that system with a fanless thermal design intended to maintain stable long-term operation without active cooling noise.
The launch adds to growing competition in OLED gaming displays, particularly in the 27-inch QHD segment, where manufacturers are using high refresh rates and different panel coatings to target enthusiasts and creators. Screen finish has become a more visible point of difference as buyers weigh contrast, reflections, and perceived image sharpness in different room conditions.
The MO27Q28GR is now available in Australia through authorised retailers and distributors.
