Hardware manufacturer AOC has today introduced a
pair of new gaming monitors in the form of the curved AG273QCG Nvidia G-SYNC
and AG273QCX AMD FreeSync 2 HDR. The third generation AGON monitors have been
have been redesigned to provide premium gaming monitors and will be available
later this month during January 2019. The AG273QCX and AG273QCG gaming displays
will be priced at € 699 and € 799 respectively.
“The 27″ (68.6 cm) AG273QCG is equipped with a curved
(1800R) TN panel in QHD resolution (2560×1440), supports Nvidia G-SYNC and a
higher refresh rate of a whopping 165 Hz and a 1 ms response time. Users of
supported Nvidia GPUs could enable G-SYNC to eliminate tearing and stuttering
and match the monitor’s refresh rate to their GPU’s framerate. The high
brightness of 400 nits makes sure the monitor is usable even in brightly lit
rooms. Two built-in 2W speakers with DTS complete the whole audio-visual
package.”
Features and specifications of both include :
– AOC Game Color, where users can adjust the colour
saturation for better grey levels and picture detail,
– AOC Game Modes, with specific improvements aimed
at different game genres and 3 user customisable profiles,
– AOC Shadow Control, to adjust shadow levels for
seeing dark areas better without affecting rest of the screen,
– AOC Dial Point, an aiming indicator in the centre
of the screen, helping users aim accurately in shooter games,
– FPS Frame Counter, an overlay showing the current
frames per second,
– Flicker Free Technology, for reducing eye
discomfort and fatigue for extended gaming sessions
– Updated OSD with a fresh, modern look and an
accompanying software-based OSD (G-Menu) for even more customisation.
“The 27″ (68.6 cm) HDR (High Dynamic Range) monitor
AG273QCX on the other hand is equipped with similarly curved (1800R) VA panel
in QHD resolution with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Thanks to the high brightness
of 400 nits, the display supports the HDR standard VESA DisplayHDR 400. To
accompany HDR, it also boasts AMD FreeSync 2 HDR to mitigate input lag caused
by HDR’s tone mapping, and to force Low Framerate Compensation (LFC) as well as
to get rid of tearing and stuttering. The VA panel’s 3000:1 static contrast
ratio and 90% DCI-P3 gamut coverage bring visuals to life with deep blacks and
vibrant colours, while offering wide viewing angles of 178°/178°. A high
responsiveness is guaranteed with the 1 ms response time, which is achieved by
a strobe technique. The 2 x 5W speakers on the AG273QCX are also
DTS-compliant.”
