Earlier this year, AOC launched its AGON series of premium gaming monitors, aiming to take on the competition by offering high-refresh rate 2560×1440 displays. Now, the line-up has just got better, with the addition of G-Sync variable refresh rate technology and IPS panels.
The AGON AG271QG is a 2560×1440 IPS monitor featuring an ultra-fast 165Hz refresh rate, eliminating motion blur, screen tearing and display stutter with the addition of G-Sync.
You can find the general specifications for this monitor below:
- Monitor Size: 27 Inch
- Screen Format: 16:9
- Brightness: 350 cd/m2 (type)
- Contrast Ratio: 1000:1
- Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 50M:1
- Viewing Angle: 178/178
- Response time: 4 ms
- Maximum Resolution: 2560×1440@165Hz
Being an updated G-Sync monitor, this also supports HDMI output in addition to DisplayPort. The stand also has height adjustment and pivot, no swivel though which is a shame. The monitor will hit stores next month for £639.99 in the UK.
KitGuru Says: IPS gaming monitors have come a long way in the last couple of years, achieving ultra-high refresh rates and lower response times than ever before. Are any of you in the market for a new monitor? Are you thinking about going with a high refresh rate 1440p panel?
Well since my 1080p with 980ti can drop under 60fps from time to time in Rise of the Tomb Raider when VXOA is on instead of HBAO+ and everything of max, I guess that I will stay on 1080p until I can get a graphic card that can run it and I’m not about to upgrade to GTX1080 until a TI card gets here or AMD have something that can beat it. I’m more into details then resolution
