Aorus AD27QD showcased at Aorus Xtremeland Mumbai
On April 12th, 2019, Gigabyte
Technology exhibited the latest and first ever Tactical Gaming Monitor, Aorus
AD27QD.
The event was held at one of the
finest five-star hotels in Mumbai, The St. Regis.
Although the elemental product of
display was the Aorus AD27QD, the event also showcased other products like
Xtreme MoBo, Xtreme Waterforce 5G Premium Edition, RTX VGA Series and SSDs.
Various media partners and
influencers were invited for the event.
The event started at 06:30 PM with an
introductory video on Gigabyte Technology and gaming.
Followed by the video, Mr. Tony Liao,
AVP of Gigabyte Technology addressed the launch of Aorus AD27QD.
He briefly indicated the powerful features of the monitor and
also hinted about the future plans of the
company to introduce and launch new Intel Motherboards and AMD motherboards by
the second half of 2019. He also exclaimed that Gigabyte is doing its best to
improve the service and has established many service centers in India. After
his speech, a line-up video of the new monitor was shown to the present
audience.
Sunil Grewal, Director of Gigabyte
India, proposed the Aorus Launch concept. He said that Gigabyte
does not want to be just a product company but also a consumer company! He
comprehensively explained the Aorus Launch concept. He stated that Gigabyte is
planning to let consumer(s) walk-in and see all the
products and then choose what they actually want. Be
it peripherals, processor, MoBo or anything, Gigabyte will offer a wide range
of variety and not just a limited set of products. Aorus Launch centers will be
opened in 2-4 metro cities. More cabinets will be made available by 2019.
On-site warranty will be issued. Three more variants of the new Gigabyte monitor will be launched in the coming months. He also stated that Gigabyte
wants to give customers a reason to buy a DIY product.
Followed by the Director, the
Technical Marketing Manager, Benny Shieh took on the podium for explaining the specifications
of the monitor extensively. He started with the Panel. The specifications of
the monitor are:
- IPS screen technology, with the view angle of 178 degrees.
- A response time of 1 ms.
- Resolution of 2560x1440 QHD.
- Refresh Rate: 144 Hz.
- 95% DCI P3 Color Range (Rest monitors have sRGB).
- 10-bit color, smooth colors.
- Display HDR 400.
- FreeSync.
- Black Equaliser.
- It is VESA Certified.
Other features like OSD
Sidekick, GameAssist, Active Noise Cancelling, and Aorus Dashboard
were explored.
OSD Sidekick is an easy to navigate
button at the back of the monitor. But we can also configure the settings of
the monitor by using the built-in software provided by the monitor just by
using a mouse and keyboard. Thus, configuring the settings becomes
much easier.
GAME ASSIST HAS CROSSHAIR, TIMER AND COUNTER
Hotkeys can be used to enable the above functions.
Crosshair function allows us to draw
any custom crosshair on the monitor irrespective of the game we are playing or
any other task we’re doing. So we can use CSGO’s crosshair in PUBG or any other
game too and vice versa.
Timer and Counter can be used in
games for counting the time. For example, one can easily activate the timer
function after the bomb is planted in CSGO and thus gain an advantage.
Similarly, airdrop counts can be seen in PUBG.
No external software can detect or
block these functions, thus no one will know that you
are having an advantage. People might say that it’s a
cheating monitor but you have to respond as "No, it’s a
tactical monitor!"
AORUS ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING (ANC)
It reduces the external environment
noise and amplifies the player’s voice.
ANC can differentiate between a
player’s voice and environmental noise.
It is so efficient that it also reduces the click sound produced by the
mechanical keyboard.
For confirming these features of ANC
a small demonstration was conducted with the help of a volunteer from the
audience. Guess what, it worked really well.
The monitor has an ergonomic design
with built-in LED. LED enthusiasts now have the chance to customize multiple
zones of the monitor with functions like Wave, Color Shift, Color Cycling,
Static, Flash, Double Flash, and Pulse. It can be tilted, swiveled, pivoted and
height could be adjusted.
The Product Manager, Supriya Mankame explained other products.
Products like C621 Aorus Xtreme
motherboard, Z390 Aorus MoBo, Z390 Xtreme Waterforce 5G Premium Edition,
graphics card RTX 20 series with unique stack fans, premium cooling and peripherals
like Aorus RGB AIC NVMe SSD TB, RGB M.2 NVMe SSD 512 GB, Aorus C300
Glass, GB C200 Glass and Aorus K9 Mechanical Keyboard were shown.
After the demonstration of all the
products, the Q&A session was conducted and few doubts from the audience were
rectified by Gigabyte Panel. The event wrapped up with a group photograph of
all the members who attended the event. A lavish dinner was arranged by
Gigabyte Technology for the attendees in the restaurant Seven Kitchens.
The Team Jobless Freaks warmly extend
our gratitude for inviting us for the launch event!
