AOC AG273QXP Review

A really cool monitor for gamers is on our desk today. This monitor is the AOC AG273QXP, one of the new models added to AOC’s AGON series, and it is a monitor that a real gamer, especially those who love shooter games, are looking for. AOC AG273QXP, which has amazing speeds with 170Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, looks very interesting with its design and other technologies. We have been using this monitor for a while and we can admit that it is one of the rare models that we find it difficult to say that it looks bad during the time we use it. Whether you are watching a movie, playing a game or doing your daily work, it is a model that you will enjoy being in front of in many ways. We recently shared with you the unboxing of the AOC AG273QXP. You can reach our video from the cards above. But now, let’s start with the design of the AOC AG273QXP, and then let’s talk about its features and capabilities.

How AOC AG273QXP Design?

AOC AGON AG273QXP, from the front, has a familiar, clean and modern design as we are familiar with from other AGON series models. On the back of the model, which has a circular RGB area like the AGON AG273QX monitor, which we have reviewed before, the presence of screen shields is also a great addition. We are familiar with these shields from monitors designed for graphic design professionals. You can attach these shields, which are used to adjust the image calibration, to prevent reflections, and thus, you can optimize the clarity of view, especially when playing games during the daytime. It’s a very well thought out feature. On the other hand, once you put these shields on, we doubt that you will want to remove them, because they have a focus-increasing feature, allowing you to be completely alone with the screen, day or night.

On the other hand, headphone hooks, another feature that gamers look for on the monitor, are also on the monitor. You can use these hangers placed on both the right and left sides to hang your headphones.

The AOC AG273QXP features an all-metal design stand. This extremely robust stand includes ergonomic features and useful features for cable management. You can adjust the height of the screen to 110 mm, as well as rotate the screen 33 degrees and take advantage of the pivot feature. You also have the freedom to tilt the screen forward and backward from 5 to 23 degrees.

When you look at the monitor from the front, you come to the conclusion that it has a very measured design. While there is a red AGON logo under the screen with thin edge bezels, the joystick on the side of the screen where you can control the menu commands is another nice detail. Speaking of lighting, the RGB circle behind the monitor also provides a beautiful image, especially in the dark environment. You can control these lights, called Light FX, and choose the color you want, and you can synchronize them with your other accessories such as AOC keyboard and mouse.

What are the AOC AG273QXP Features?

Well, now let’s get to the viewing point capabilities of this monitor. AOC AG273QXP has a 27 inch screen and this screen consists of 2560×1440 pixel resolution. While 27-inch 1440p monitors are the most reasonable choice to achieve high frame rates, this model stands out with its 170Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, it is possible to say that it has a 1ms response time, embracing a tremendous performance.

The monitor’s panel is also prepared to initiate this. The response time, which is usually between 9 and 25 ms in classic IPS panels, is 1ms in this model. Because LG’s Nano IPS technology is used on the screen. In this way, the gray-to-gray response time of the monitor can be reduced to 1ms, which is a tremendous score. On the other hand, compared to a standard IPS screen, you can notice the difference not only in the response time, but also in the image. AOC AG273QXP, which has a color scale that covers 97 percent of the DCI-P3 color space, 98 percent of the AdobeRGB color space and 133 percent of the sRGB, together with Nano IPS, thus provides a traditional IPS display with both response times and picture quality. It provides a much better view.

The overall picture quality of the AOC AG273QXP is excellent. As soon as you take it out of the box, you can get your money’s worth without making any special adjustments. Of course, 6 different game modes are offered on the monitor, again according to your preference. In addition to FPS, Racing, RTS, Game1 and Game2 ready modes, you can also choose one of the settings that you can save ideally for yourself. So when you’re going to watch a movie or work, your mod is ready for the game genre.

The monitor’s brightness level is measured at around 380 candelas in default mode, which is exceedingly good for the brightest rooms. Moreover, it is written in the technical specifications of the product that its brightness is 400 candela; In this sense, we can say that with the result we have obtained, it meets this requirement. Moreover, when you play a little in the settings, you can reach 430 candela brightness levels. While the contrast ratio of the monitor is at the level of 1000:1, let’s also say that it has HDR400 certification. At this point, we tried Battlefield V, which is famous for its good HDR implementation, and when we enabled HDR, we were able to catch a sharp improvement in color vibrancy.

How Is AOC AG273QXP Performance?

AOC AG273QXP, although it is a monitor that you will love to use in daily use or while working in front of it, it is ultimately a gaming monitor. For this reason, the compatibility of FreeSync Premium and G-Sync on the monitor has not been forgotten. Thus, those who have video cards of both brands can benefit from video card and monitor synchronization. When you connect it from 2 HDMI 2.0 ports on the monitor, you can get a speed of up to 144Hz, and when you connect it via DisplayPort 1.4 ports, you can reach it up to 170Hz. Such high speeds are of course beneficial in speed games such as Valorant and Apex Legends. Especially on the monitor we tried in Apex Legends, we can say that you are almost flowing on the battlefield; Along with the high image quality, the game becomes an incredibly enjoyable game and the image moves in front of you with a silky smoothness.

If you like games that are not fast, but have high visual richness and are a little more grounded, such as Red Dead Redemption 2, we can say that you will like the screen with its landscape quality. The contrast ratio and wide color gamut provide a very satisfactory result in this game as well.
