AOC AGON Pro AG326UD Showcased at Gamescom with a 32″ 165Hz QD-OLED Panel

At Gamescom this week in Cologne, Germany we had a chance to see the newly announced AOC AGON Pro AG326UD monitor. The screen is 31.5″ in size (classified as 32″) and has a 165Hz refresh rate QD-OLED panel. This is an interesting option in the 32″ market given the majority of 32″ QD-OLED monitors available offer a 240Hz refresh rate. AOC’s approach is to offer a more modest spec here, in an effort to make OLED panels more accessible to the mainstream, helping to drive down pricing and offer something more affordable too.

Specifications and features

That’s not to say that this new screen doesn’t have an impressive spec. It’s still part of the company’s top-tier AOC gaming monitor line up, under their AGON Pro banner. The screen offers a 3840 x 2160 resolution, 0.03ms G2G response time, 10-bit colour depth and a wide colour gamut covering 99.3% of DCI-P3. The screen also conforms to the VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black tier, and offers modes for TB400 and a peak 1000 mode which delivers up to 1000 nits peak brightness (low APL % scenes).

Being a QD-OLED panel, the screen offers the standard semi-glossy screen coating that many people prefer to the matte AG coating on WOLED panels. It also has the gen 3 sub-pixel layout for improved text clarity along with the high 140 PPI pixel density.

The screen includes a 3 port USB hub, fully adjustable stand and integrated 2x 8W speakers. For connectivity there are 1x DisplayPort 1.4 and 2x HDMI 2.1 connections provided. All AOC’s OLED monitors come with a 3 year warranty which includes burn-in cover too which is great news.

165Hz refresh rate

The 165Hz refresh rate is supported by adaptive-sync for variable refresh rates from compatible systems. This is a lower refresh rate than the 240Hz QD-OLED 27″ models available, but driving 4K@ 165Hz should be more achievable for those with less modern and powerful systems, or who don’t really need to push in to those kind of super-high refresh rates.

Pricing and availability

It’s expected to be available from Sept 2024 at a retail price of £739.99 GBP in the UK, and €849 Euro. Pricing and availability in other regions is still to be confirmed, but we’ve asked for more information.
