On a yellow square, there's red fringing to the left and green fringing to the right. Due to the subpixel layout, there's fringing when displaying solid colors.

Update : We checked to see if there was color fringing issues like on other OLEDs. If you prefer brightness over image accuracy, the 'Vivid' mode delivers significantly brighter highlights, but the real scene peak brightness is much lower, and it doesn't track the EOTF accurately, as almost all scenes are way too bright, and it rolls off sharply at its peak brightness, resulting in a loss of fine details in bright scenes. We measured the HDR peak brightness in the 'HDR' Picture Mode and Brightness set to '100'. Unfortunately, the EOTF cuts off sharply at the monitor's peak brightness, causing a loss of fine details in bright scenes. It tracks the EOTF well, but near-black scenes are over brightened a bit. This shouldn't be too noticeable with most real content. Small highlights can get really bright, but fade a bit when held over time.
It's not bright enough for most HDR movies, but still delivers an impactful experience when gaming in HDR. Unfortunately, the Gigabyte AORUS FO48U has unremarkable peak brightness in HDR, and it's significantly dimmer in real scenes than the LG 48 C1 OLED. If you want a brighter image and don't care as much about accuracy, the 'Vivid' mode produces brighter highlights, but real scenes are about the same brightness as our calibrated settings. We measured the SDR peak brightness after calibration in the 'Custom 1' Picture Mode with Brightness set to 100.

Decreasing the contrast or brightness can trick the TV and stop this from happening, but unlike the LG OLED TVs, there doesn't appear to be any way to fully disable this.
On the AORUS FO48U the activity threshold appears to be quite high, and even if you're just composing an email or reading a webpage for a few minutes the screen dims considerably. It also dims the screen after a few minutes of relative inactivity, which is a burn-in prevention measure known as Automatic Static Brightness Limiter, or ASBL. It can sustain bright highlights well, but there's a slight decrease in peak brightness over time. Unfortunately, although small highlights in dark scenes are very bright, the peak brightness decreases with larger bright areas on-screen. Small highlights are significantly brighter than the LG 48 C1 OLED, but in real scenes they're about the same. Unfortunately, the Gigabyte FO48U has mediocre peak brightness in SDR. Like all OLEDs, there's also a risk of permanent burn-in, although there are things you can do to reduce the likelihood of this problem. This can be an issue when typing or reading a webpage with a lot of text, as the screen doesn't change enough to trigger the timer. Unfortunately, it's not very bright, and the automatic static brightness limiter (ASBL) causes some issues with desktop use, as the screen dims automatically after a few minutes of relative inactivity.
It has a near-instantaneous response time, resulting in crystal-clear motion behind fast-moving objects, as well as low input lag and support for FreeSync and G-SYNC Compatible variable refresh rate.
It's very similar to the LG 48 C1 OLED but with connectivity options that are more in-line with a traditional monitor, with a DisplayPort connection and built-in USB hub, and even a keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch. Like all displays with OLED panels, it delivers deep, inky blacks with no blooming around bright objects, and it has wide viewing angles. The Gigabyte AORUS FO48U OLED is a 48 inch monitor with an OLED panel.
