New AOC gaming monitor sports 5-layer tandem QD-OLED display with an impressive 1300 nits of peak brightness

AOC has unveiled yet another gaming monitor with the Agon Pro branding, dubbed the AGP346UCSD. As the rather unsophisticated name suggests, the monitor is a follow-up to the AG346UCD, and features a notable set of exciting improvements.

AOC Agon Pro: New 360 Hz gaming monitor with five-layer tandem OLED panel

Like its predecessor, the new Agon Pro also boasts a 34-inch QD-OLED display with a curvature of 1800R. The resolution is also the same, coming in at 3440 x 1440 pixels. However, there are major improvements under the hood. A five-layer tandem OLED panel is being utilized, with a peak brightness of a whopping 1,300 nits in small areas for an excellent HDR experience. Clearly, this is a major step up from its predecessor.

The refresh rate has also been increased to an impressive 360 Hz from 175 Hz. The V-Stripe sub pixel layout would help a lot with text clarity, which was previously rather poor on QD-OLEDs due to noticeable fringing. Needless to say, all the hallmark benefits of OLED panels should be present, such as near-instant response times, true blacks, and great color reproduction.

Speaking of colors, AOC claims 99% and 97% coverage of the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color gamuts respectively, with ΔE of less than 1. If these claims hold up, the monitor should be excellent for color-sensitive work as well. A healthy array of ports are on offer as well, consisting of the following:

• Dual HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1
• Triple USB 3.2 Type-A
• USB Type-C with DP alt mode, 15W PD

Built-in speakers are also on offer, and the included stand allows for tilt, swivel, and height adjustments. Being an ultrawide monitor, pivot adjustments are unsurprisingly absent.

Pricing and availability details are unclear as of this writing. Folks who need a 1440p ultra wide gaming monitor sooner, can check out something like the LG UltraGear 34GX900A-B, currently available for $745 on Amazon.
