AOC Agon Pro: New gaming monitor with mini LEDs, 240 Hz and more for 1,309 euros

In its Agon series, AOC has already presented a few models with the particularly fine mini-LED backlighting for better colors, contrasts and black tones, and the new Agon Pro AG274QZM is joining them again with a primarily professional claim. On a 27 inch (approx. 69 cm) screen diagonal with WQHD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, there are 576 dimming zones, DisplayHDR 1000 certification with a partial peak brightness of 1,200 cd/m² and a response time of one millisecond (grey to grey). .

In addition, the IPS panel also offers a refresh rate of 240 Hertz along with Adaptive-Sync including G-Sync compatibility against synchronization-related jerks and tearing. In addition, the manufacturer promises an ergonomic stand and includes a monitor shield in the scope of delivery, which is supposed to shield the image from ambient light.

On the rear, meanwhile, there are Light FX RGB lights that can be synced with other Agon gear, as well as an integrated projector that projects the brand’s logo onto the desktop. Also included is a “QuickSwitch” controller in the form of a puck, which allows configuration as an alternative to the settings using a small joystick on the monitor or the G-Menu software.

Aside from the gaming claim, the monitor should also be suitable for work purposes and especially for content creators, according to the press release accompanying the announcement. Connectivity is also referred to, including USB-C with 65 watts of power for charging and operating laptops and four USB 3.2 ports for additional connection of peripherals. There is also an integrated KVM switch for switching between two PC sources. The Agon Pro AG274QZM from AOC should be available from June at a recommended retail price of 1,309 euros, although there are already listings in the PCGH price comparison away 1,185.74 euros.
