The cheapest way to OLED gaming. GIGABYTE GO27Q24 costs 7,984 CZK, but it has two catches

OLED monitors were still a matter of 12 thousand and more last year. The GIGABYTE GO27Q24 now costs 7,984 CZK with code 2026ALZAEXTRA20 – and foreign reviewers agree that this series represents the most affordable path to OLED gaming available today. TechNave directly called it the cheapest 240Hz OLED monitor that is just as good as premium competitors.

👍 Get it if you want perfect blacks, lightning-fast response, and primarily game on PC via DisplayPort.
🤔 Hesitate if you’re connecting a console – HDMI here is only version 2.0, and Alza states that the monitor lacks image synchronization.
💰 Price: 7,984 CZK for a QD-OLED with 1,500,000:1 contrast;

Three Hundredths of a Millisecond and Infinite Contrast

QD-OLED combines organic diodes with quantum dots – each pixel illuminates independently, resulting in absolute black, and quantum dots add color saturation that regular OLEDs lack. The result is a native contrast of 1,500,000:1, a value that no IPS or VA panel can match; with classic monitors, we typically talk about 1000:1.

The second argument is speed. A 0.03 ms response time and 240 Hz mean virtually zero motion blur. The TweakTown reviewer, who tested a sibling model, wrote that the panel performed best in shooters like Overwatch 2, Valorant, or Battlefield 6 – and rated it 86 out of a hundred points.

For image work, the interesting figures are 99% Adobe RGB coverage and 10-bit color depth, meaning over a billion colors. Australia’s Capture Magazine, for a related model, emphasized that color reproduction is where OLED panels show their strength even outside of gaming. It also features an anti-reflective surface, a fully adjustable stand with height adjustment and pivot, a USB-C data interface, and a DisplayPort cable included in the package.

Two Things to Watch Out For

Firstly, HDMI 2.0. This is not an issue for a PC connected via DisplayPort 1.4, but PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X owners should be aware that the older HDMI standard will not transmit the full QHD and 240 Hz combination. Secondly, Alza states in the specifications that the monitor is without image synchronization – yet, according to foreign tests, the sibling models GO27Q24G and GO27Q24A do have FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility. This is most likely an inaccuracy in the product listing.

The third note concerns brightness: 400 nits peak brightness is standard for OLED, but it’s less compared to Mini LED monitors with thousands of nits. In a dark and dim room, this is an advantage (you can keep HDR on all the time without eye strain), but in a sunny room by the window, it’s a limitation. Reviewers of OLED panels also repeatedly mention subtle color fringing of text due to subpixel arrangement – you won’t notice it in games and videos, but you will during all-day work with documents.

Are you considering switching to an OLED monitor, or are you worried about panel burn-in?
