Starting off with the design of the FO27Q5P, if you've seen other Gigabyte screens from this generation, you will be very familiar with what is on offer here – it's entirely black, with a slightly aggressive gamer-y styling round the back, but generally it's fairly conventional.
It does sport a metal v-shaped foot, which feels good quality, though I'd prefer to see something a little more compact.
We can't complain about the ergonomics on offer from the stand, though, with up to 130mm height adjustment, 20 degrees of swivel left and right, tilt from -5 to +20 degrees, and 90 degree pivot functionality as well – plus VESA 100×100 mounts are supported.
I/O is also plentiful. There's 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 2.1 at the full UHBR20 bandwidth, a miniDP 2.1 at the same bandwidth – an oddity, but we're not complaining! – and a DisplayPort 1.4. You also get a Type-C port that supports DP-Alt mode and 18W Power Delivery, then 2x USB 3.2 downstreams, fed by a USB upstream, alongside some audio jacks. KVM functionality is also supported, so there's not much to complain about – I'd have liked to see higher Power Delivery from the Type-C port, but that's about it.
All of the monitor's controls are placed under the chin, with a joystick used to navigate the OSD flanked by a power button and a resolution switch button.
