About this deal

Mind you when it comes to motion clarity the BenQ Zowie XL2566K (which is TN) was the winner by far.

AOC AGON Pro AG274QXM review - TFTCentral AOC AGON Pro AG274QXM review - TFTCentral

The input panel features a single DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports. DisplayPort supports G-Sync Ultimate from 1 to 240 Hz, while the HDMI ports work from 48 to 144 Hz with either G-Sync or FreeSync. USB comes in version 3.2 with one upstream and four downstream ports. The photo doesn’t show it, but one of the ports is meant for Nvidia’s Reflex Latency Analyzer and is color-coded green. To use this feature, you’ll need a supported mouse. Read more about it in our overview here. OSD Features In typical internet fashion you replied rudely to a comment you skipped through because you felt a single line was incorrect without reading the whole thing. We should note here as well that we measured a super low input lag on the AG274QXM. There was a total display lag of only 1.60ms average, so the screen is perfectly fine for fast paced competitive games if you need. Console Gaming Space Lynxi mean if you are going to spend this much money you might as well do the OLED LG 27"I think that's the Achilles heel of mini-LED; The FALD arrays and their associated controller adds so much cost that the end result competes with OLED on price.There’s no shortage of colour, either. AOC’s screen produced 99.8% of the sRGB gamut at 168.6% volume and 92.6% of the DCI-P3 space at 119.4%. it even churned out 99.2% of the Adobe RGB space at 116.2%, which is an excellent result for any gaming display. The Delta E of 1.98 is impressive too and means you won’t have any accuracy issues.

inch QHD monitors are very versatile in that they will fit on nearly any desk while providing enough screen area for just about any task or form of entertainment. Resolution is fine enough to sit at a comfortable distance, around three feet, and experience sharp detail and clarity. Though other form factors are more suitable for gaming, like 21:9 ultra-wides or 43-inch jumbo panels, the 27-inch QHD display is a staple. The integrated four-port USB hub is very useful, and as there is a USB-C input, you can use the reliable automatic KVM switching. The hub includes a yellow fast-charge port, and all of the ports support USB 3.2, however, when using HDR or a USB-C connection these are restricted to USB 2.0. The Nvidia Reflex Latency Analyzer has several options for monitoring sensitivity (how often the timing is sampled) plus the size and position of the measuring rectangle. The numbers appear in small font in the upper right corner of the screen. You can monitor your input lag in real-time while playing.Most monitors are not calibrated out of the box and if they are, they are calibrated at the out of the box brightness (typically 250 - 350 nits). Adjusting brightness higher or lower will impact the deltaE. If you care about color accuracy you should be calibrating your display with a measurement instrument regardless after you adjust your display to your desired brightness. Gamut coverage – we provide measurements of the screens colour gamut relative to various reference spaces including sRGB, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB and Rec.2020. Coverage is shown in absolute numbers as well as relative, which helps identify where the coverage extends beyond a given reference space. A CIE-1976 chromaticity diagram (which provides improved accuracy compared with older CIE-1931 methods) is included which provides a visual representation of the monitors colour gamut as compared with sRGB, and if appropriate also relative to a wide gamut reference space such as DCI-P3. Competitive gamers have long used the “Digital Vibrance” mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel to help make enemies pop and add more colour to scenes. The new class of 1440p G-SYNC esports displays have an enhanced vibrance mode – specifically tuned for esports – built directly into the monitor firmware. Dual-Format 25” G-Sync is officially supported, and this display is also FreeSync compatible. The activation window stretches from 48-240 Hz over both DP and HDMI. If you have a gaming console 1440p@120 Hz is available on the Xbox Series consoles, and Sony now supports native 1440p@120 Hz on the PS5, too.

Ports: 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB Type-C (DP alt mode, upstream) with 65 watts of power delivery, 4x USB Type-A at USB 3.2, microphone in, 3.5mm headphone out From a little projector on the bottom part of the stand shines an AOC AGON logo on to your desktop, or you can turn this off in the menu if you’d rather (you can also disable the RGB lighting if you want).

Vesa Certified DisplayHDR™ 1000

The star of the show is the high peak brightness, with the AG274QZM peaking at over 1,100 cd/m² in HDR. Brightness is equally impressive in SDR, although the measured brightness falls short of the specified 750 cd/m² – the highest recorded brightness was 668 cd/m² but the picture was far too warm. Using suitable display settings for a balanced picture, 540 cd/m² was the best I could achieve, though this rose to over 600 cd/m² after calibration. You can also activate local dimming for SDR content, which boosts the contrast significantly. That carries over to the Blur Busters UFO test. I can’t spot any motion trails or judder on the test pattern; the AGON PRO AG274QZM has just about the best motion clarity I’ve ever seen on a non-OLED display. The AG274QXM is one of AOC’s most recent additions to their “AGON Pro” line-up of gaming monitors. Some of the specs might be considered fairly standard or common nowadays, with a 2560 x 1440 IPS panel and a pretty modest 170Hz refresh rate – much higher refresh rate 1440p options are available on the market nowadays, such as the recently tested Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q X with 270Hz. Then there’s common IPS technology specs like a 1000:1 contrast ratio, wide 178/178 viewing angles; and also colour enhancements like wide colour gamut and 10-bit colour depth that you’d find on most modern gaming screens. That’s not to say any of this is bad, it’s just fairly typical in this space. Performance in the default DisplayHDR mode is captured above, and this was similar in the other modes too. You can see a pretty decent PQ gamma on the right hand side which was pleasing, but there is a massive skew in the balance of RGB in this mode for a wide range of grey shades, especially for lighter shades and white. The average colour temp was a bit too cool at 6915k, and white point was slightly cooler still at 7059k (9% deviance from target). This leads to some very high errors in greyscale on the left.
