AOC AGON Gaming 16G3 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor Review

A Closer Look

Out of the box, the monitor looks, well, like a monitor, albeit one that doesn’t have a stand below it. It’s a nice-looking panel too, it’s very bright in here today and my photography light is at full, yet the panel has virtually no glare and diffuses the ambient light easily.

Around the back, there’s a really cool grey and black texture, with an AOC logo on one side, four VESA mount screw holes and two panels to the left. These smaller panels fold out to provide both a horizontal and vertical kickstand for the monitor.

With the stand deployed, the display is ever so slightly angled backwards, which is perfect with it being lower down on your desk, it makes for a great viewing angle.

The kickstand is nice and compact, but very sturdy and thick, so it doesn’t wobble around.

I thought this was a button at first, but they’re on both sides top and bottom, and the bottom edge, and are simply hard rubber grips to prevent it from sliding around or getting scuffed up against harder surfaces.

There are two speakers built-in too, with a 1W speaker on the left and right side, and they’re plenty powerful relative to the size of the display too, easily as loud as a decent quality tablet.

Up on the top, there are four buttons, power, up, down, and OK, which function for everything from volume to OSD controls.

Overall, a very nice looking unit, and very easy to deploy anywhere you need it.
