AOC has expanded its AGON Pro lineup with the introduction of the AG276QZD2 gaming monitor. This latest model features a 26.5-inch Samsung QD-OLED panel, representing a substantial upgrade from the previous LG WOLED display launched earlier this year in March.
AGON Pro AG276QZD2 Specifications:
The AG276QZD2 is equipped with a 2K panel (2560 x 1440) offering a high refresh rate of 240Hz, ensuring smooth gameplay, especially for fast-paced action games. It also boasts a remarkably low gray-to-gray (GTG) response time of 0.03ms, which reduces motion blur and ghosting, crucial for competitive gaming.
When it comes to color performance, the AG276QZD2 supports native 10-bit color, resulting in more accurate and vibrant color reproduction. It covers 99.1% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and features a color accuracy of ΔE<2, making it suitable for both gaming and professional content creation.
The monitor also offers a static contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, delivering deep blacks and bright whites. It is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, indicating its capability to display high dynamic range (HDR) content with excellent black levels and a typical SDR brightness of 250 cd/m².
Connectivity and Features:
For connectivity, the AG276QZD2 comes with various ports, including two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, USB 3.2 Gen1-A ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also includes dual built-in 5W speakers for basic audio output.
The monitor supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), PBP/PIP (Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture), and Adaptive-Sync technology, which is compatible with FreeSync to minimize screen tearing and stuttering during gaming sessions.
Ergonomics and Design:
Ergonomically, the AG276QZD2 features a stand that offers extensive adjustments, allowing users to rotate, tilt, and adjust the height to find their preferred viewing angle. The back of the monitor is crafted with a polygonal aesthetic and includes AOC’s Light FX RGB lighting, providing customizable ambient lighting with 14 effects and over 100,000 color options.
