AOC has introduced a new gaming monitor in
the form of the AGON 353-series which will be available in two versions
supporting either AMD FreeSync 2 or NVIDIA G-SyncHDR certification. The new
gaming monitor with NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility is expected to launch sometime
during June 2019, but at the current time AOC has not revealed any launch date
for the AMD FreeSync 2 HDR equivalent.
What we do know is that the AG353UCG will feature
NVIDIA’s G-Sync HDR as well as AMD’s FreeSync 2 HDR. The G-Sync HDR version,
however, will be carrying a 512-zone full array local dimming for increased
contrast. Connections on the redeeming monitor will take the form of HDMI 2.0,
DisplayPort 1.4 ports together with and a 4 x USB 3.1 ports. Other
specifications include 4K resolution, 1000 nits peak brightness in HDR mode, 1
ms (MTRT response time, or a rated 4 ms GtG) and a 200 Hz maximum refresh rate
with support for AMD’s FreeSync 2 or NIDIA’s G-Sync HDR.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or
worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information
comes to light, we will keep you updated as always. The gaming monitor will
also feature 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space if colour accuracy is
something you require together with a
handy headphone hanger.
