Stylish and Functional Design
In terms of design, it showcases a slim 1.5mm micro-frame bezel and an award-winning asymmetrical stand that features customizable RGB lighting with 14 different effects and over 100,000 colors. The stand supports a height adjustment of up to 130mm, a 180° pivot, 28° tilt, 60° swivel, and is compatible with VESA mounting. Users can make quick manual adjustments using AOC’s “Aigong Esports” software and a dedicated hardware controller.
The monitor also includes four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports (one with fast charging), a foldable headphone hook, and supports PIP/PBP multitasking. Eye-care technologies like Flicker-free and low blue light modes help to reduce strain during long gaming sessions. Although the 1080p TN panel may not compete with OLED or IPS in terms of viewing angles and color depth, the AG246FK6 is focused on ultra-low latency and features that cater to competitive gamers. It remains unclear when it will be available globally.
