AGON by AOC

AOC has announced two new monitors of the AOC AGON PRO line, designed for the most demanding gamers and therefore characterized by high-end products. In the case of the AOC AGON PRO AG324UX we are talking about a 31.5-inch IPS panel with 4K resolution and 144 Hz refresh that also promises very high color fidelity, as well as a lot of extra features including RGB lighting and speakers. Two common features, together with design and complete ergonomics, the AOC AGON PRO AG274FZ always IPS but with Full HD resolution and a maximum refresh of 260 Hz which makes it a product for competitive gaming.

Both monitors will be available before the end of September at the recommended prices of 1139 euros for the 4K model and 489 euros for the high-refresh Full HD model.

The AOC AGON PRO AG324UX enriches the ranks of the new 4K 144 Hz monitors designed to take advantage of both high-end video cards and the latest generation consoles that are fully supported, up to 4K at 120 Hz, thanks to HDMI 2.1 connectivity. All seasoned with the VRR that in the PC field takes on the connotations of AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync.In addition, the new AOC monitor also promises 1 millisecond response time both GtG and MPRT boasting, at least on paper, a fidelity of the very high color, with 99.8% of the DCI-P3 gamut.

Not bad considering the price of 1139 euros, not low but in line with the characteristics, which involves some compromises, starting from the 350 nit W-LED lighting of typical luminance which also affects the level of HDR, but includes full ergonomics, RGB lighting on both sides, logo projector and KVM technology to control two PCs by connecting keyboard and mouse to the monitor. To this must also be added two rather powerful 8 W speakers with DTS, PbP mode with two visual sources and 4 USB 3.2 ports with 90 W USB Type-C power delivery port to recharge tablets, smartphones, ultraportable and so on.

The following are the technical characteristics of the AOC AGON PRO AG324UX:

The AGON PRO AG324UX, a 144 Hz 4K with thin bezels, minimal response times and color fidelity very high With the AOC AGON PRO AG274FZ we go down in size, resolution and price but in the high end with a 27-inch IPS Full HD screen that starts from a native 240 Hz refresh that can reach 260 Hz in overclocking. The promise of a millisecond GtG response time is therefore inevitable for a gaming monitor that will undoubtedly lead to competitive gamers, obviously not forgetting Adaptive-Sync for compatibility with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync.

But as fast as it is, it is still a Full HD monitor that costs a whopping 489 euros and must guarantee a few extras compared to similar panels. Hence 110.5% sRGB color space coverage, optional shielding to shield the panel from harsh lights, customizable RGB lighting, 4 USB ports and 5W speakers, with DTS support.
