As the market for OLED displays grows rapidly, AOC is making sure it stays relevant. Their recent introduction on their Chinese site — the AG276QKD — indicates this. This new monitor is a 26.5-inch OLED QHD gaming display, designed for those who want top-notch refresh rates and peak visual performance just from looking at the specifications.
Impressive Specifications
The monitor features a remarkable 480Hz refresh rate and an incredibly quick 0.03ms grayscale response time. It has a native resolution of 2560×1440 and includes OLED technology that provides more than 10 million self-luminous pixels, resulting in vibrant colors and deeper blacks. The brightness reaches 275 nits at 100% APL (full white screen) and 450 nits at 25% APL. For HDR content, it can peak at 1300 nits brightness at 1.5% APL.
Exceptional Contrast and Color Accuracy
One key highlight is the static contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, which helps maintain sharp details in both bright and dark scenes. The monitor covers 98.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and its factory calibration ensures a color accuracy of ΔE<2 for accurate color representation. With hardware-based low blue light technology, it minimizes harmful blue light emissions, while the TÜV Rheinland Flicker-Free certification makes it comfortable for long viewing sessions.
Connectivity and Design Features
The AG276QKD is certified with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, providing a broad dynamic range. Its AGLR anti-glare and low-reflection technology enhance viewing comfort in different lighting conditions. Additionally, the monitor features OLED Care tech designed to help prevent burn-in, a frequent problem with OLED displays.
For connectivity, this monitor is equipped with several ports, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. It also facilitates Picture-by-Picture (PBP) and Picture-in-Picture (PIP) options for dual-screen usage. The AG276QKD allows for height adjustment, tilt, and rotation to ensure comfort during prolonged use. Its stylish asymmetrical polygon base and ultra-slim bezels highlight its aesthetics.
With customizable RGB lighting and a quick-release bracket, this monitor appears to be ideal for high-end gaming and professional applications. Although pricing details have not been released yet, it’s anticipated that AOC will update the product page with this information shortly.
