How AORUS Gaming Monitors Make the Most of 4K and 144Hz Gaming
A better view of everything in your digital domain
PC monitors are our windows to the world. That window took on new meaning over the past two years due to the pandemic and now more than ever, folks are not just paying attention to what they’re looking at, but how they’re looking at it.
The new AORUS 4K family of monitors enhances your connected experiences across the spectrum. From productivity and communication to PC and console gaming. The entire GIGABYTE AORUS lineup sports 4K resolutions and snappy 144HZ refresh rates. These monitors establish cutting edge display tech baseline features, support HDMI 2.1, with Type-C and built-in KVM switches, allowing users to experience better visuals every time they create, engage, or consume content.
Before we go further, a quick refresher on why resolution and refresh rates are important.
In its simplest terms, 4K resolution typically means 3,840 x 2,160 pixels across a screen; the current industry standard.
Meanwhile, to keep moving all those pixels around without artifacts, image refresh rates must increase. Even though humans generally can’t see beyond 60Hz, the brain can actually anticipate action on screen slightly faster than that and as any FPS pro or noob can tell you, even a few milliseconds matter!
Additionally, the HDMI 2.1 support included with all monitors in the lineup means you can enjoy improved bandwidth transfer (from 18 Gbps to 48 Gbps), up to 10K resolution for up to 120 frames per second, and that the latest consoles and graphics cards will look their best.
What Type of Gamer Are You?
In general, folks that love playing AAA games want to be immersed as much as possible in the environment they’re engaging in. If that’s you, you might want a monitor which is physically bigger in size, perhaps with a curve, and high resolution and color saturation.
Enthusiasts who prefer more competitive gaming usually need to switch swiftly between scenes or rapidly rotate their perspective to track moving targets or incoming fire. It is critical in this type of gaming to have a fluid picture to improve precision. For such games, refresh rates and response times are more important than the size of the monitor.
The AORUS family is launching with four monitors, and while all of them will likely provide an upgrade to whatever you’re currently using, each screen has a specialty it particularly excels at:
