There's a whole new AGON monitor series! Just from reputation alone, AOC is a heavy-hitter when it comes to monitors. Will the latest batch meet expectations?
Right off the bat, AOC is very clear - these are enthusiast monitors and not for the casual audience.
“AOC’s AGON monitors have long been the global gold standard for gamers pursuing victory in eSports, rather than simply the life of a weekend warrior. For gamers at this level, certain renowned AGON models live on as the legends of a fast-moving high-tech arena.”
- Kevin Wu, General Manager, MMD Singapore
All the AGON Series 4 monitors are promising cutting-edge specs for gaming monitors. One monitor, in particular, the AG274QXM, will feature MiniLED technology. MiniLED promises bright, detailed imagery, accurate color reproduction, and ultra-high contrast ratio with deep blacks and bright whites. Essentially, MiniLED technology is what the name implies - shrunken down LEDs. With smaller LEDs, you can put more LEDs in the same size panel as you normally would be able to.
Across the entire series, all the series 4 monitors offer IPS panels, a 1ms response time, VESA display HDR certification, and just to add some swagger - logo projection, and lighting effects.
The PRO models in the series are AG254FG, which features a 360Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA G-Sync, the AG274QXM, which uses MiniLED tech, the AG274UXP, which has a 4K panel and HDMI 2.1 connectivity, and finally, AG324UX, which boasts two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 4K display at 31.5 inches of screen real estate.
