AOC AG277UX: Fast 4K gaming display with 320 Hz refresh rate

The AG277UX is a 27-inch monitor that can be used in two basic operating modes: either at a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 and a fast 160 Hz refresh rate, or at a 320 Hz refresh rate if users can make do with Full HD resolution. This could be in competitive multiplayer games where fast image display is more important. A Fast IPS panel is installed, which reportedly offers a peak brightness of 600 cd/m² when playing HDR content and a gray-to-gray response time of one millisecond, with MPRT resulting in twice as fast a response.

According to AOC's specs, the panel fully covers the sRGB color space with a color deviation of Delta E less than 2. However, this deviation only applies to the out-of-the-box state, and the AG277UX is not a display specifically designed for particularly color-critical applications. The features are quite extensive: not only are HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 available for image output, but also a USB 3.0 hub for connecting a keyboard, mouse or a headset. A headset can also be hung directly on a fold-out monitor hook.

Two image sources can be displayed simultaneously, and the screen can be virtually reduced in size, shrinking the effective screen diagonal to 24.5 inches. Information on price and availability is still pending.
