AOC has joined Gigabyte and MSI by releasing a 32-inch monitor with Samsung Display's lesser-used 165 Hz QD-OLED panel. For context, numerous manufacturers have been selling 240 Hz equivalents since the start of the year, such as Samsung itself with the Odyssey OLED G8 G80SD (curr. $1,199.99 on Amazon).

Specifically, AOC has decided to release the AGON Pro AG326UD. For reference, the AGON Pro AG326UD, which lines up as a more expensive alternative to the AGON PRO AG276QZD2 that AOC also recently released. As far as we can tell, the AGON Pro AG326UD shares all its key features with Gigabyte's AORUS FO32U and MSI's MAG 321UP. Consequently, the AGON Pro AG326UD outputs natively at 4K (3,840 x 2,160) with VESA ClearMR 9000 and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certifications.

Moreover, the monitor is said to peak at 250 nits in SDR mode but should reach at least 400 nits when HDR is activated. Furthermore, AOC has included ports like a pair of HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps) connections, as well as a USB hub and a pair of 8 W speakers. According to AOC, the AGON Pro AG326UD will be available next month in Europe and the UK for €849 and £739.99, respectively. Please see the company's product page for further details.
