Gigabyte is extending the warranty for its QD-OLED monitors to three years

Following several other monitor sellers, Gigabyte is the latest vendor to extend the warranty of its QD-OLED gaming displays. Like others, Gigabyte is also extending the warranty of its QD-OLED gaming monitors to three years, giving users some extra peace of mind.

After CES 2024, Asus announced an extension of its QD-OLED monitor warranty to two years, which now includes burn-in protection. Shortly after, MSI announced an upgrade to the warranty period of its QD-OLED monitors to three years, also providing protection against the OLED burn-in effect. In response, Asus had to adjust its warranty period to align with MSI's three-year coverage. Dell/Alienware has begun offering a 3-year burn-in warranty for its QD-OLED monitors as well.

Gigabyte was the only company that did not offer a three-year warranty for its QD-OLED monitors, but that has now changed with the company's recent announcement, extending the warranty of its entire QD-OLED monitor line-up to three years. Although the company does not directly mention burn-in protection, the warranty is said to offer “protection against potential panel image retention issues,” which can be interpreted as such.

The monitors eligible for the warranty extension include the Aorus CO49DQ, Aorus FO32U2P, Aorus FO32U2, Aorus FO27Q3, Aorus MO34WQC, and Aorus MO34WQC2 monitors.

KitGuru says: With MSI, Gigabyte, Alienware and Asus offering a three-year warranty on their QD-OLED monitors, Samsung (the panel manufacturer) and HP are the only major QD-OLED vendors missing from this list.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
