AORUS has recently launched a cutting-edge 31.5-inch OLED gaming display, designated as the F032U2P, which is the first to incorporate the advanced DisplayPort 2.1 standard, supporting maximum bandwidth capabilities. Revealed at the CES 2024 event, this Gigabyte innovation sets a new benchmark by integrating UHBR 20 mode in a gaming monitor.
The AORUS F032U2P sets itself apart as a pioneering OLED gaming display by being the inaugural model to integrate UHBR 20 support, although it is not the first to offer DisplayPort 2.1. The monitor’s display, a premium Samsung 4K (3840×2160) panel, boasts an impressive 240Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth visuals.
Sharing its QD-OLED technology with other elite gaming monitors like the MSI MAG 321UPX, MEG321uRX, and MPG 321URX, as well as Dell’s Alienware AW3225QF and HP Transcend 32, the AORUS model shines with its remarkable 1000 nits of peak brightness and swift 0.03ms response time, delivering both blazing speed and stunning visual fidelity.

As a result, gamers contemplating this monitor may want to consider waiting for next-generation GPUs.
