AOC announces two new curved AGON monitors

agon ag322qcx angleAOC has added to its awesome AGON gaming monitor series with two new curved models.

The 31.5-inch AG322QCX has QHD resolution, whereas the 27-inch AG272FCX packs full HD.

Both new AGON models come with a gentle curvature radius of 1800 for an added level of immersion.

These curved monitors also sport almost invisible bezels on the top and sides of the monitors. The “3-sides frameless” design lets players focus on the gaming action even more.

A refresh rate of 144 Hz and AMD FreeSync technology provide a super-smooth gaming experience with no stuttering, tearing or motion blur.

In addition, the two models also boast all of the premium features of other curved displays from the AGON line. These include a variety of gaming modes and settings (adjustable with the included QuickSwitch keypad), a headset holder, a handle, ergonomic adjustment options and customisable LED lights.

Perfect focus and immersion

The AOC AGON AG322QCX boasts a 31.5-inch (80 cm) VA panel with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.

As mentioned before, these AGON screens are also curved. This should all add to them handing gamers even further immersion.

Strong performance for competitive gaming

Both the AG322QCX and the AG272FCX boast a high refresh rate of 144 Hz, which eliminates motion blur.

For added smoothness and responsiveness, the two monitors also offer AMD FreeSync support. This reduces stuttering, tearing and input lag on compatible PCs.

Of course, you also get AOC Shadow Control which gives an additional advantage in games with very dark sections: it lightens overly dark areas of the image and darkens bright parts without affecting the rest of the screen.

Individual style

In addition to the almost bezel-less design, the two new AGON models come with customisable RGB LED lights on their back and lower bezel.

Price and availability

The AOC AGON AG322QCX and AOC AGON AG272FCX will be available in May 2017. The MSRP is £519 and £389 respectively.
