There's no other place to start than the design, as the AOC AGON AG275QXL is quite special. The League of Legends inspiration is immediately obvious, with gold accents running across the monitor designed to match the game's Hextech technology. These are present on the front-side chin, the rear of the display and down onto the base of the stand.
It's certainly eye-catching, and while it may not be to everyone's tastes, it is instantly recognisable as not just a gaming monitor, but a League of Legends monitor too – so we can only say ‘job done' to AOC's design team.
The included stand also offers a whole host of ergonomic adjustments. There's height adjust up to 130mm, tilt from -5 to +23 degrees, as well as full swivel functionality in both directions, thanks to the circular base. We even get 90 degree pivot too, in both directions, so you can use the AG275QXL vertically.
I'd argue it wouldn't make much sense to buy this monitor and then ditch the included stand, but if you want to do so, VESA 100 mounting solutions are also supported.
Here we get a close up view of the base of the stand, completely with the League of Legends logo. This is also RGB-equipped thanks to AOC's LightFX tech, so be sure to check out the video to see that in action. The RGB lighting can even synchronise with in-game events in League of Legends, which may aid immersion for hardcore players.
On the back of the monitor, we can also see the small joystick used to navigate the OSD – but more on that on the next page.
Lastly, for video inputs we find 2x HDMI 2.0 and 2x DisplayPort 1.4. There's also a 4-port USB hub, with the yellow port denoting the Fast Charge capability, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack output. The AG275QXL does also include a pair of 5W speakers which get decently loud, but any serious LoL gamer will want to use a headset.
