Around the back, a vent is cut in the shape of the Aorus eagle and a pair of glossy strips that look like wings. The chin has a simple metallic speaker grille and a centered Aorus badge above the power indicator light and OSD joystick. In fact, the only real trim you’ll find on this monitor is along the bottom edge and on the back panel. That same slim design applies to the bezels, which makes the screen feel even more spacious, but leaves precious little room for character. Below that it thickens out, but it’s still impressive to see just how thin Gigabyte was able to make that portion of the screen. Viewed from the side, it’s easily the thinnest panel I’ve ever encountered on a gaming monitor – at least along its upper third. In spite of its massive size, it cuts a thin profile. It absolutely is given enough distance, and you’ll have the benefit of stunning OLED picture quality to enhance your PC gaming experience. Despite its size, don’t let anyone tell you it’s not usable as a normal PC monitor. If you’re using it to play games on your PS5 or Xbox Series X, you can set it up like a normal TV and be good to go. In my case, I found about three feet to be far enough, which is more than most standard desks reach with leveraging a mount. To achieve a comfortable viewing distance, you’ll need a deep desk or the ability to wall mount. If you’re looking at this monitor for use on a desk, don’t let that marketing dissuade you. Using a monitor this size at a desk is a challenge, which is why there isn't a single picture on its product page that shows it being used that way. Its TV-like size also means it has room for large built-in speakers that sound more full and rich than any PC gaming monitor has a right to. Instead of buttons, it uses a remote and single joystick that you’ll probably never touch to navigate the OSD. Instead of a stand, it has a pair of stationary feet and is completely non-adjustable. Though it’s designed to function more like a computer monitor than a TV, which I’ll explain soon, the form factor and design are absolutely that of a small television. Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way: the FO48U is ridiculously large for a computer monitor. At $999 and frequently on sale for less, does it have what it takes to beat out the competition? Gigabyte Aorus FO48U - Design and Features The Gigabyte Aorus FO48U is a gargantuan 48-inch gaming monitor with a color-rich 4K panel, 120Hz refresh rate, and a set of features that put it much closer to an actual actual computer monitor instead of a repurposed TV.
