AOC Launch Two New 24″ Esports Gaming Monitors with 610Hz Refresh Rate and MBR+ Technology

AOC have this week announced the launch of two new 24.1″ sized esports gaming monitors in their range, both offering a massive 610Hz refresh rate and a range of features designed specifically for professional and competitive gamers. There’s the AGON PRO CS24A, with a design which was created in collaboration with Counter-Strike 2, and its counterpart in the more familiar AOC AGON brand design, the AGON PRO AG246FK6. These two new models “represent the pinnacle of esports gaming technology, delivering the ultra-fast response times and revolutionary MBR+ (Motion Blur Reduction Plus) Backlight Strobing technology that professional players demand.”

The CS24A features an exclusive Counter-Strike 2 branding with distinctive orange accents that celebrate one of competitive gaming’s most iconic titles for those players dedicated to the game. For those who prefer a more understated aesthetic, the AG246FK6 delivers identical performance wrapped in AGON PRO’s signature design language.

Debuting at IEM Cologne 2025

AGON by AOC will showcase these revolutionary monitors at IEM Cologne 2025, one of Counter-Strike’s most prestigious tournaments at the G2 booth, where professional players can test the monitors in live gameplay scenarios, including a new map developed just for this occasion. The venue provides the perfect stage to demonstrate how these displays elevate competitive play, with the CS24A making its global debut at the very heart of the Counter-Strike community.

AGON PRO CS24A and AGON PRO AG246FK6 Specs

Both the new screens are 24.1″ in size and built around a TN Film technology LCD panel. They offer a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 0.5ms G2G response time (0.3ms MPRT in MBR+ mode), 1000:1 contrast ratio, 170/160 viewing angles, 8-bit colour depth and an extended colour gamut covering 93.6% DCI-P3 (CIE 1976 reference).

The native refresh rate of the screen is 600Hz, with a small overclock option boosting that up to 610Hz. It’s supported by adaptive-sync for VRR and includes certification under the AMD ‘FreeSync Premium’ and NVIDIA ‘G-Sync Compatible’ schemes.

Revolutionary MBR+ technology for crystal-clear motion

At the heart of both monitors lies AGON by AOC’s revolutionary MBR+ technology, featuring an advanced dual backlight system that delivers unprecedented motion clarity. Unlike traditional single backlight solutions, MBR+ technology employs a dual light bar design with 20 LED groups that are controlled by an LED driver. This allows each region of the display to strobe in perfect synchronisation with the monitor’s ultra-high refresh rate. This breakthrough technology minimises motion blur and ghosting to levels previously unattainable, ensuring that fast-moving targets remain crystal clear even during the most intense firefights.

QuickSwitch control for instant adjustments

Both monitors include the innovative wired QuickSwitch controller, providing immediate access to monitor settings without interrupting gameplay. This dedicated hardware controller allows players to adjust crucial settings like brightness, contrast, and gaming modes with dedicated buttons, perfect for adapting to different maps or lighting conditions mid-match. The two models feature sophisticated gaming modes developed specifically for competitive FPS gameplay. The CS24A includes three dedicated modes: the exclusive CS Mode fine-tuned for Counter-Strike 2, plus FPS2 and FPS3 modes optimised for different competitive scenarios. Selecting the CS Mode via QuickSwitch unlocks aggressive optimisation across contrast, Shadow Control, and MBR+ settings, offering sharper visuals and enhanced clarity specifically for Counter-Strike 2.

By comparison, the AG246FK6 features a suite of FPS modes (FPS1, FPS2, FPS3) designed for broader shooter preferences – each with distinct profiles for brightness, contrast, and tone. For players focussed on motion clarity and target visibility, the CS24A’s CS Mode delivers a more competitive edge out of the box.

Connectivity and stand adjustment

Connectivity is comprehensive with 2x HDMI 2.1 ports and 1x DisplayPort 1.4, while the integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s) hub with four ports keeps gaming peripherals connected and accessible. The stand offers a full range of tilt, height, swivel and rotate adjustments. A built-in headset holder adds convenience by keeping audio gear within easy reach.

Pricing and availability

• The AGON PRO AG246FK6 will be available from August 2025 at an MSRP of £599. It’s available in some regions already from Amazon (affiliate link)
