Look past the RGB lighting as there's more to this gaming monitor than first meets the eye. Eyebrows were raised when Gigabyte first announced plans to form a new subsidiary dedicated exclusively to high-end gaming products, but credit where it's due, in the space of five years Aorus has become a serious player in a lucrative market. The firm's success has been built around products with a clear gaming focus, and we've been happy to recommend various Aorus graphics cards and motherboards in recent years.

Hoping to keep the momentum going, 2019 sees the launch of the first Aorus gaming monitor, the AD27QD Tactical Display. True to form, this 27in panel has a few tricks up its sleeve to help differentiate itself as a gaming solution first and foremost, and we've been able to spend the last week putting it through its paces.
