AOC AGON AG275QZW released as new 260 Hz and 1440p gaming monitor with USB hub

AOC has now released the AGON AG275QZW, just over a month after its showcase alongside the AGON AG275QZE. For reference, the AGON AG275QZW follows the AG275QZ and AG275QZN that AOC launched globally over a year ago. By contrast, the AGON AG275QZW remains a Chinese exclusive for now.

According to AOC's website, the AGON AG275QZW measures 27-inches across and relies on IPS panel technology to deliver a 2,560 x 1,440 native resolution. Please note that while the monitor also provides a 260 Hz refresh rate, it can only do so via its DisplayPort 1.4 connections. In comparison, AOC's decision to include HDMI 2.0 ports restricts the AGON AG275QZW to 1440p and 144 Hz over HDMI. Other display details remain unaffected though, such as 1 ms GtG response times and 350 nits peak brightness or 450 nits when viewing HDR content.

As such, the monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified, which also ensures true 8-bit image quality. Moreover, the AGON AG275QZW offers 178°/178°(CR>10) viewing angles, 92% DCI-P3 colour space coverage, and ΔE<2 factory colour calibration to the sRGB colour space. On top of that, AOC has included a USB uplink connection and a pair of USB Type-A ports that conform to the USB 3.2 Gen1 standard. AOC charges CNY 2,999 (~$420) for the AGON AG275QZW, which makes a $500 MSRP likely if the monitor ever makes its way outside China.
