AOC AGON PRO AG276QZD 240Hz OLED Monitor Review

AOC has been a strong market leader for high-end monitors for many years now, and while other brands have some similarly competitive products, it’s usually just a few, while AOC and their sister brand Philips have an absolutely wealth of products covering every price range, panel technology, screen size, resolution and more. While the AGO PRO AG276QZD isn’t their most expensive monitor, it’s certainly one of their best equipped. It features a 27″ OLED panel with a blisteringly fast 240Hz refresh rate and a 2560 x 1440 resolution. Now, keep in mind, you’ll need a pretty punchy graphics card and CPU combo to max that out, especially in visually demanding titles, but likely still so in eSports friendly titles,

The downside, this monitor is going to set you back £505, which is a lot for a 27″ monitor. But it’s brimming with technology, and the OLED panel is certainly a big part of that cost. There’s a lightening fast response time of just 0.03ms, you get 98.5 DCI-P3 colour reproduction, HDR10, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync, and it can deliver HDR Premium standards of contrast thanks to 1000 cd/m2 nits brightness and support for a native 120Hz mode for consoles too.
