The latest AOC AGON monitor boasts a whopping 520Hz refresh rate

AGON by AOC is raising the bar again with its latest creation: the AGON Pro AG276FK. This 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor boasts a Fast IPS panel and an astonishing refresh rate of 520Hz, making it one of the first monitors with these specs to be released.

The AGON Pro AG276FK's foundation is its advanced 27-inch Fast IPS panel, which delivers a Full HD resolution with a 520 Hz refresh rate and response times of up to 0.5 ms GtG and 0.3 ms MPRT. With a peak brightness of 400 nits and DisplayHDR 400 certification, this monitor offers a basic HDR experience. The inclusion of Adaptive-Sync technology combats screen tearing and stuttering, fostering a smooth and responsive play environment.

Packed with gamer-centric features, the AG276FK offers an array of pre-calibrated gaming modes optimised for various genres, allowing quick transitions between colour presets. Additional features such as the built-in Frame Counter and Shadow Control allow players to monitor their performance and enhance their visual experience. Moreover, an on-screen display (OSD) menu provides rapid access to essential gaming settings.

The monitor also incorporates the latest Motion Blur Reduction (MBR) and MBR Sync technologies to enhance motion clarity in competitive scenarios. MBR Sync combines the benefits of backlight strobing technology with variable refresh rate compatibility, granting gamers a clean, tear-free experience. A Low Input Lag mode further optimises the device by bypassing unnecessary visual processing, ensuring the fastest response to player inputs.

The AGON Pro AG276FK features a highly adjustable stand with 130 mm height adjustment, tilt, swivel, and pivot options, complemented by a sleek, low-profile design. This ensures optimal positioning during intense gaming sessions. Connectivity options are plentiful, featuring two HDMI 2.0 connectors, two DisplayPorts 1.4, and a USB hub with four USB 3.2 ports. The AGON Pro AG276FK is set for release this month with an MSRP of £499.99.

KitGuru says: Driving a consistent 520 FPS in an FHD monitor isn't for all systems, but for those who can, the AGON Pro AG276FK is a monitor worth considering for those who favour smoothness over resolution.
