Gamers and display enthusiasts, take note: Gigabyte has just stealthily launched a compelling new contender in the high-refresh-rate arena. The Gigabyte GO27Q24G gaming monitor has appeared on the company’s website, bringing a 27-inch QHD, 240 Hz package with a significant twist—a glossy, next-generation WOLED panel designed to deliver breathtaking contrast and color.
This new model follows closely in the footsteps of the GO27Q24 that debuted last year, but swaps out that model’s matte QD-OLED screen for what Gigabyte is calling a ‘RealBlack Glossy’ MLA+ WOLED display. This change is more than just a surface-level coating difference. A glossy finish typically allows for more vibrant colors, deeper perceived blacks, and superior contrast by reducing light diffusion. Paired with the Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology on this WOLED panel, the GO27Q24G promises exceptional picture quality with incredible pixel-level control.
HyperNits: Pushing HDR Brightness Beyond Spec
Beyond the glossy allure, the most intriguing new feature is HyperNits. This is Gigabyte’s proprietary enhanced HDR mode engineered to push brightness levels higher without sacrificing detail in the brightest parts of the image. Here’s how it breaks down:
- Native Specs: The monitor is rated for 275 nits full-screen brightness and can hit up to 1,300 nits in HDR at a small 1.5% window (DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified).
- HyperNits Boost: In the HDR Peak 1300 mode, users can enable HyperNits for an extra kick. HyperNits High provides a substantial 30% brightness increase, while HyperNits Medium offers a more conservative 20% boost, ideal for darker gaming environments. Crucially, Gigabyte states this is achieved without clipping highlights, preserving critical detail in explosions, sunlight, and other bright HDR elements.

Core Performance Specs: Built for Speed
At its heart, the GO27Q24G is built for fast-paced gaming. It features a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution, striking a popular balance between sharp detail and high frame-rate performance. The native 240 Hz refresh rate and lightning-fast 0.03 ms response time (GtG) aim to eliminate motion blur and ghosting entirely.
While it doesn’t feature a dual-mode for lower resolution/higher refresh rate, it comes with robust variable refresh rate (VRR) support, including both NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification for tear-free gameplay across platforms. It also covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, ensuring rich, saturated colors for both games and multimedia.
Connectivity and Design
The connectivity suite mirrors its predecessor, offering modern essentials: two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, a headphone jack, and a USB-C port with 15W power delivery for convenient laptop connectivity. The monitor also includes a fully adjustable stand for tilt, swivel, height, and pivot adjustments, ensuring optimal ergonomics for long gaming sessions.
Availability and Pricing
The Gigabyte GO27Q24G is now officially listed, signaling an imminent market arrival. However, Gigabyte has yet to announce final pricing or specific availability dates. Given its premium WOLED panel and enhanced HyperNits feature, it is expected to position itself in the competitive high-end gaming monitor segment.
This launch highlights the ongoing innovation in the OLED space, giving gamers a clear choice between matte and glossy finishes, and introducing smart software features like HyperNits to extract even more performance from cutting-edge panel technology.
