AOC Unveils High-Performance Gaming Monitor with 180 Hz Refresh Rate

AOC’s AGON has announced a new 27-inch Q27G3XMN/BK monitor that is perfect for gamers looking for high-performance HDR gaming on a budget. The monitor features a Fast VA panel with QHD (2560×1440) resolution and MiniLED backlighting technology, providing 336 dimming zones and VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification for an immersive HDR experience.

The Full Range Local Dimming (FALD) backlight solution enhances the HDR experience by allowing some parts of the screen to be completely black while keeping others at a very high brightness. The monitor also features a 10-bit color depth (8-bit + FRC), producing 1.07 billion colors and high color gamut coverage (+95% DCI-P3).

In terms of performance, the monitor offers a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms GtG response time, providing smooth and responsive gameplay. It also comes with an ergonomic stand that offers numerous options for height, tilt, rotation, and adjustment, as well as Flicker-Free technology and Low Blue to protect your eyes during prolonged gaming.

The Shadow Control option gives gamers an advantage by allowing them to adjust shadow levels and highlights to customize the visual experience of gameplay and more easily see enemies hiding in dark corners. The monitor also supports Adaptive-Sync, allowing for a variable refresh rate to eliminate tearing and stuttering. It comes with a Dial Point overlay for precise aiming in FPS gaming and features OSD adjustment options that can be accessed using software or the OSD buttons on the monitor itself.

AGON by AOC has announced a recommended retail price of €399 euros and will be available in November.
