Comparison Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q2 27 " black vs Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q3 27 " black

The maximum frame rate supported by the monitor at the recommended (maximum) resolution.

The higher the frame rate, the smoother the movement on the screen will look, the less noticeable jerks and blurring will be on it. Of course, the actual image quality also depends on the video signal, but for normal viewing of video at a high frame rate, the monitor must also support it.

When choosing this option, keep in mind that at lower resolutions than the maximum, the supported frame rate may be higher. For example, a model with a 1920x1080 matrix and a claimed frame rate of 60 Hz at a reduced resolution can give 75 Hz; but the 75Hz frame rate is only listed in the specs if it is supported at the monitor's native (maximum) resolution.

Also note that a high frame rate is especially important for gaming models (see "Type"). In most of them, this figure is 120 Hz and higher; monitors with a frequency of 144 Hz are considered the best option in terms of price and quality, however, there are also higher values — 165 Hz and 240 Hz. And monitors at 100 Hz can be both inexpensive gaming models and advanced home ones.

You can evaluate all the frame rates at which this monitor is capable of operating by the ver...tical frequency claimed in the specifications (see below).

Availability in the monitor of external backlight RGB.

Such lighting is in the form of LEDs or LED strips embedded in the frame and/or back panel. It performs mainly a decorative function — it gives the monitor an interesting appearance, which is especially appreciated by gamers and modding enthusiasts. The abbreviation RGB means that the backlight can change colour; at the same time, the matter is usually not limited to three basic colours (red-green-blue — red-green-blue), lighting can take on almost any shade. In some models, it can even automatically adjust to the image on the screen — in such a way that the backlight visible to the user improves the overall impression of the picture. There are also backlight systems that can synchronize with other system components (see below for more details).

Rated power consumption of the monitor. Usually, this item indicates the maximum power that the device can consume during normal operation — that is, the energy consumption at maximum brightness, the highest volume of the built-in acoustics, etc. Actual power consumption can be noticeably lower, however, when choosing, it is still best to focus on the value stated in the specifications.

In general, the lower the power consumption, the more economical the device in terms of electricity consumption (ceteris paribus). In addition, this characteristic can be useful when selecting an uninterruptible power supply for a PC and in other specific situations when it is necessary to accurately determine the power consumption of equipment.
