Product Information

We felt the backlight was perhaps a little slow for super-fast gaming when we first reviewed it, but perfectly adequate for some nice multimedia and slower-paced gaming. The AG274QXM offers a range of features showing that AOC’s focus is not just on gaming with this model. A mic input and headphone output are provided for audio, as well as the simple integrated 2x 5W speakers.

This was measured at ~37,500:1 which was much better and so overall across the screen as a whole you can achieve some significant improvements in contrast in certain scenarios. Vyberte si jakoukoli oblíbenou barvu, synchronizujte ji se svými ostatními zařízeními AOC a vyzkoušejte různé světelné vzory. There is also a strip along the bottom edge of the screen providing a subtle glow towards your desk. Of course, if you’re in the market for a 240Hz monitor in the first place, it’s likely you’re playing the types of games where those extra frames matter. As 240Hz refresh rate, 1440p gaming monitors enter the mainstream (powered by the availability of high-end graphics cards like Nvidia’s RTX 4090, it’s important that they offer pixel refresh rates that can keep up.You have to disable and re-enable HDR mode in Windows to trigger it back to the default DisplayHDR sharpness in that mode. If it does and you’re in the market for an extremely fast, extremely bright professional-level monitor, it would be worth snagging on sale. I can’t spot any motion trails or judder on the test pattern; the AGON PRO AG274QZM has just about the best motion clarity I’ve ever seen on a non-OLED display.

The AG274QXM is certified under the VESA DisplayHDR 1000 standard thanks to its high end Mini LED backlight. That isn’t the case with the AGON PRO, as I measured a respectable 1138:1 contrast ratio without local dimming, a bit better than the standard 1000:1 for these panels. It puts out extremely fast, extremely clear images even with Overdrive disabled, meaning I didn’t need to overclock the pixel response time at the cost of color accuracy. Weak’ mode is fine all the way down to the lower refresh rates like 60Hz as well, and so we would recommend this setting for VRR situations.The sRGB emulation mode is unfortunately unusable due to the locked controls and brightness, which is pretty unforgivable. With HDR enabled there are 4 modes available in the OSD menu – labelled as DisplayHDR, HDR game, HDR movie and HDR picture.

Billed as being geared toward pro-competitive gamers and esports enthusiasts, the AGON PRO AG274QZM has a 3-sided frameless display that outputs at 1.We can normally live without gamma and colour temp controls as long as the screen is factory calibrated pretty well, although they would definitely be nice to have access to. With 2560 x 1440 resolution, Quad HD (QHD) offers superior picture quality and sharp imagery that reveals the finest details. The full native colour gamut of the backlight is active, producing very vivid and saturated colours, especially in red and green tones. The AGON PRO comes with a variety of accessories, such as, OSD control pad, light control hood, integrated headset stick, holographic logo projector in stand, and more.
