The Agon brand, part of AOC, is launching a brand new gaming monitor called the Agon Pro AG274QZM. The mini LED monitor has a screen size of 27 inches and a refresh rate of 240 Hertz. That may of course cost a bit.
The IPS panel has a qhd resolution (25.60 by 1,440 pixels) and mini LED backlighting with a total of 576 dimming zones. This allows the monitor to achieve DisplayHDR 1000 certification with 1,200 nits of peak brightness.
As a result, the screen is able to display bright visual features such as sunlight and fire, while simultaneously displaying deep, dark shadows. With the included monitor screen, the monitor can handle things like bright ambient light or reflections from stage or fill lights for greater contrast.
In addition, there is a GtG speed of 1 ms, which means that the pixels are able to change color at lightning speed. And with support for 1.07 billion colours, there’s plenty to enjoy. Moreover, you have little to no problems with ghosting. And with built-in Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, tearing and stuttering are a thing of the past, by using a variable refresh rate.
QHD shouldn’t be a problem
Although the qhd resolution is not the highest resolution at the moment (many gamers play in 4k, for example), this mode does offer a nice intersection of functionality. Today’s GPUs can achieve both high-fidelity and high frame rates using that resolution. So you get the best of both worlds, without really compromising on graphical splendor.
With this type of screen, Agon mainly focuses on the professional or at least competitive gamer, who is looking for the best of the best. This applies to the type of screen and the options associated with it, but also to the design of the sturdy, ergonomic stand. The kickstand, with built-in cable management, offers various height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, so you’re unlikely to get a sore neck while gaming.
Not just for gamers
The Agon monitor offers USB-C connectivity, with a 65W power supply to charge and power connected laptops. With four USB 3.2 ports, the monitor can act as a docking station to connect additional peripherals such as keyboard, mice, and more.
And with a built-in KVM switch, users can switch between two sources (for example, a gaming PC and a work or streaming PC) while using the same keyboard and mouse set. This makes the Agon Pro AG274QZM quite versatile and versatile.
Finally, to adapt the monitor to users’ individual desk configurations, the AG274QZM Light FX offers RGB lights on the back, which can be synchronized with other AGON by AOC equipment. The included puck-shaped QuickSwitch controller makes adjusting OSD settings a breeze, while it can also be controlled via the joystick or G-Menu software.
Agon Pro AG274QZM: price and availability
Agon Pro AG274QZM will be available from June 2022 for a suggested retail price of 1,299 euros.
