AOC have today announced their new AG274QS display, part of their AGON Pro gaming line-up. The AG274QS is a 27″ sized IPS screen featuring a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a 300Hz refresh rate. This is supported by adaptive sync for VRR from both NVIDIA and AMD systems and according to AOC is aimed at “esports players and enthusiasts, especially fans of FPS, battle royale, and similar fast-paced titles.”

AOC AGON Pro AG274QS Specs

The AG274QS is 27″ in size and features a 2560 x 1440 resolution “Fast IPS” panel. There is a 1ms G2G response time spec (0.5ms MPRT), 1000:1 contrast ratio, 350 cd/m² brightness, 178/178 viewing angles.

The screen has a 300Hz refresh rate, one of the first to market to combine 1440p resolution with this high refresh rate. Adaptive-sync provides VRR support from NVIDIA and AMD systems and the screen carries AMD’s ‘FreeSync Premium’ certification as well.

HDR 600 support

The AG274QS also carries the VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification which includes some basic edge lit local dimming for improving the dynamic range (contrast) somewhat. There is a peak brightness of 600 nits for HDR content, and the pre-requisite wide colour gamut (120% sRGB coverage) and 10-bit colour depth support too.

Other Features

The red dot design awarded AG274QS monitor follows the AGON PRO’s proven formula: almost non-existent bezels on three sides for potential multi-monitor setups, a logo projector to remind onlookers of the AGON PRO saga, and customisable and synchronisable RGB effects (Light FX) with other AOC gear thanks to the all-encompassing G-Menu software. Adding to the customisation, the AG274QS features a sturdy metal stand with a wide range of height, tilt, swivel adjustments and pivot orientation.

With 4x USB 3.2 ports, the monitor can act as a dock to connect additional peripherals such as a gaming keyboard, mouse, USB headset etc. With 2x 5W speakers with DTS sound, the AG274QS packs a punch. An integrated headset holder on the monitor further helps to declutter gamers’ battle stations. The included puck-shaped QuickSwitch controller makes adjusting the OSD settings a breeze, while it can also be controlled via the joystick, or the G-Menu software. For video connections there are 1x DisplayPort 1.4 and 2x HDMI 2.0 provided.

Pricing and Availability

AGON PRO AG274QS will be available from June 2022 at a MSRP of £929.99.
