Introduction
The Gigabyte GO27Q24G is a gaming monitor built around LG’s WOLED panel with Micro Lens Array Plus (MLA+) technology, which Gigabyte internally defines as “3.5 Gen”—an updated third-generation WOLED architecture that adds an optical MLA+ layer to the existing emitter stack. That layer concentrates the emitted light on the viewer rather than losing it to spread, allowing for higher light output from similar organisms without a corresponding increase in power consumption or wear. The practical result is an SDR brightness ceiling that is significantly higher than that of standard WOLED panels, and HDR highlights output that reaches more than 1,000 cd/m² in small bright windows.
The top treatment on the panel is Gigabyte’s RealBlack Glossy coating, which the company claims achieves a very low reflection of 1.1%. WOLED panels already handle ambient light better than QD-OLED thanks to their circular polarizer, which keeps blacks deep and neutral under room light without the purple tint that affects non-polarized QD-OLED designs. The RealBlack coating adds a low-reflective reflective layer on top of this base, which reduces the intensity of direct reflection that any glossy surface will produce. The goal is to maximize perceived contrast and black depth in real-world lighting conditions, rather than only in a dark test environment.
GO27Q24G uses RGWB-type subpixel arrangement rather than pure RGB line, and some color saturation is seen in text with high contrast and interface characteristics that are good for daily use. It’s not hard, but it’s there. IV-Stripe QD-OLED, which completely eliminates distortion, is currently only available in 34-inch ultrawide panels and 32-inch 4K panels—there is no specific 27-inch QHD we offer, so this is a feature of the current WOLED implementation that has a relative weakness against the others available. Combined with the absence of a USB hub, no KVM switch, and a USB-C port limited to 15 W of power delivery, the GO27Q24G is better understood as a first game display than a multi-functional monitor.
What it brings back is a borderless four-sided design, ergonomics of a full stand that includes a pivot, and display performance that holds up well under scale. At $500, it sits in an increasingly competitive segment of the OLED gaming monitor market. Let’s dig into some details.
