AGON by AOC expands the AGON PRO product line for competitive gamers, introducing a legendary trio of monitors: 68. 6 cm (27″) AG274QXM (QHD @ 170Hz) with a mini LED IPS panel, VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified. 27-inch AG274UXP (4K @ 144 Hz) and 27-inch AG274QG (QHD @ 240 Hz), both equipped with 4-sided frameless, fast IPS panels and VESA DisplayHDR 600 support.
The legends of the gaming community have been waiting for this moment: The two factions of the universe are now coming together for a better cause. Competitive gaming requires displays with high refresh rates and fast response times. On the other hand, the best way to enjoy story-driven, slower speed games with beautiful visuals is to power them with a wide range of HDR displays. AGON PRO offers it all in a prestigious package: high speed, fast response time panels (up to 240 Hz and 1 ms GtG), high resolution (QHD or 4K) and true VESA certified HDR support (DisplayHDR) 600 or DisplayHDR 1000).
Uncompromising acting
The 27-inch AG274QXM features an award-winning design (Red Dot Design Award) and a monitor shield (Shadow Shield) to reduce reflections from sunlight or bright stage lights. Extraordinary Mini-LED backlight technology and fast IPS panel with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) provide DisplayHDR 1000 support with 576 dimming zones, while providing a minimized halo effect and better, more uniform brightness compared to edge-lit HDR displays. It makes the monitor slim. The premium DisplayHDR 1000 ensures 1000 nits of peak brightness and deep, ink black levels, all in the same frame. The AG274QXM model, which can offer 1.07 billion colors and has 99% DCI-P32 gamut area, offers a magnificent color experience. Gamers of all levels, especially competitive gamers, will appreciate the monitor’s 170Hz refresh rate with 1ms GtG for silky smooth visuals. With G-SYNC compatibility, this monitor offers stutter and tear-free gameplay even when HDR is turned on.
The 27-inch AG274UXP is equipped with a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) Nano IPS panel that offers very sharp images with a pixel density of 163 PPI. Combining 4K resolution with 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms GtG response time, this monitor meets every expectation in terms of competition. Offering accurate colors, this monitor supports DisplayHDR 600 for rich, bright and dynamic visuals, offering a very high brightness, 1.07 billion colors and covering 98% of the DCI-P33 gamut area. For an even more elegant look, the monitor has a 4-sided bezel-less design. This product also received the Red Dot Design Award and is also available with the Shadow Shield. Thanks to HDMI 2.1 support, the AG274UXP model is fully compatible with next-generation consoles that can produce 4K @ 120 Hz and support variable refresh rate. In addition, tearing and stuttering on both consoles and personal computers are eliminated thanks to G-SYNC compatibility.
For the most passionate gamers and esports players who need the highest frames per second but don’t want to compromise on color accuracy, the G-SYNC ULTIMATE monitor AG274QG is just perfect. The 27-inch AG274QG features a fast IPS panel with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) and a refresh rate up to 240 Hz for incredibly detailed and fluid gameplay. With a 1ms GtG response time, ghosting is almost non-existent. Moreover, those who are obsessed with low latency can measure the latency of their systems with the built-in NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer. When a Reflex supported mouse, such as AOC’s GM500 mouse, is also connected, this tool can give users immediate feedback about the latency in the system. Rich and vibrant images are also one of the AG274QG’s strengths. With 1.07 billion colors, 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 area4, the AG274QG model also supports the DisplayHDR 600, which can display tear-inducing bright sunlight as well as frightening deep shadows. NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE certification means the monitor features a high-end NVIDIA G-SYNC processor to ensure HDR as true to life, stunning contrast, and ultra-low latency for an incredible, immersive gaming experience. The monitor also features the same award-winning design and Shadow Shield.
All three monitors are also equipped with 120mm height-adjustable and versatile stand for comfortable gaming sessions. A 4-port USB 3.2 hub is built in, so gamers can connect peripherals such as keypads, mice, streaming lights or webcams.
The monitors also feature RGB lighting (Light FX) and AGON logo mirroring introduced in previous AGON PRO models to increase personalization. The QuickSwitch controller, which is a wired remote control, is offered with all models to easily adjust the features of the game via OSD. It can also be controlled from the top of the OSD monitor or by using the G-Menu software (AG274QXM and AG274UXP).
To complete the audio visual experience, all models are equipped with two 5W speakers that support DTS for clear and rich sound. The AG274QXM and AG274UXP models have USB-C connection (65 W power supply) and a built-in KVM switch. The AG274UXP also offers a Picture-by-Picture mode. For creators and live streamers with multiple PCs, this feature makes it easy to switch between two PCs while using the same monitor and peripherals, or view their smartphone via USB-C while playing mobile games.
