Cooler Master Unveils its First mini LED Displays with Quantum Dot Technology

It would appear that high-end displays are all the rage this year and Cooler Master has just joined the fray with the GP27-FUS and the GP27-FQS, a pair of mini LED based displays. Both models sport Quantum Dot technology which helps enhance the colour gamut of the displays. Cooler Master claims to support 100 percent Adobe 97 percent DCI-P3 and 83 percent BT2020 coverage, which should make these displays great for both work and play, if you’re after a colour accurate display.

The main difference between the two models is that the GP27-FQS sports an Innolux AAS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, whereas the GP27-FUS has an AHVA panel from AUO with a 3840 x 2160 resolution. The GP27-FQS offers a refresh rate of 165 Hz, with the GP27-FUS trailing slightly behind at 160 Hz, but they have a common 1 ms response time. Both displays feature HDR1000 certification, with SDR brightness of up to 600 nits and peak HDR brightness of up to 1200 nits. Other features included are low blue light, anti-flicker and overdrive technology.

Connectivity wise, Cooler Master has equipped the displays with a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports and it’s good to see that they specify 48 Gbit bandwidth support. There’s also a single DP 1.4 port, a USB Type-C port with 90 W USB-PD support, a USB Type-B port and two USB Type-A ports. The displays also have a pair of 2 W speakers built in. The rear of the displays feature some kind of LED lighting, but it’s not clear if it’s user controllable. The stand offers height, tilt and swivel adjustments, although Cooler Master hasn’t provided any measurements as yet, so beyond the fact that we’re looking at a pair of 27-inch displays, we don’t really know how tall they stand. The GP27-FQS is said to have an MSRP of US$699, with no information about the GP27-FUS. Both models come with a three year warranty as standard.
