AOC AGON Porsche Design PD27 Monitor Review

Performance

2560 x 1440 is a step down from my usual love of 4K monitors. However, I’m a 60 Hz panel user most of the time, and stepping up to 240 Hz is just stunning. You may be losing pixels, but your eyes are getting so much more information per second that you perceive the picture to be clearer than you would on 4K60.

Of course for gaming, that’s a real game-changer. Playing competitive shooters almost feels like you’re cheating, and as rubbish as I am at competitive gaming, even I notice increased shot accuracy on these higher refresh rate monitors. Plus, with adaptive sync, games that can’t hit 240Hz (or 60Hz if you’re Cyberpunk) then you’ll still get silky smooth gameplay.

The mildly curved panel is a welcome addition too, I don’t like extremely curved displays as it feels weird reading text, but this one feels very natural and just brings in the edges slightly, looks great while working and works wonders while gaming.

The ergonomics are excellent. I love this slider system, rather than moving up and down the stand, the stand stays fixed, and the monitor moves over the mount.

See, the monitor is still mounted at the same height, but the sliding hardware is inside the display.

You can turn the monitor a little to each side.

Plus it can be angled back and forward to suit. Overall, you should have more than enough room to adjust, without having to move the stand; which is good, as it’s heavy!
