AOC Agon PRO AG276QZD2 27" QD-OLED Gaming Monitor QHD 2560x1440, 240Hz 0.03ms, HDR 400, HDMI 2.0 x2, Display Port x2, Built in Speakers, G-Sync Compatible, Console Gaming Ready, 3-Year Zero-Bright-Dot

Honestly, for the price point, it is a great monitor. The colors were vibrant and the brightness of the screen was great (despite it not being an IPS). You will not complain about the brightness. The HDR functionally really makes your screen pop out and makes the display very nice. I use a monitor stand, so I cannot say much on the functionality of the monitor legs.

Absolutely love this monitor... watch out for flashbangs if using hdr, they hurt lol. But it Looks so stunning. Feel like it's a great price point for what feels like an high end monitor. I can't seem to notice what the hate is about when it comes to it being a VA, as somethings about viewing angles, but I had not have any problems with it nor notice. Even from being across the room. I have a ips monitor as my 2nd and couldn't tell a difference from angles. I was paranoid about ghosting, since that seems to be the main complaint... but I also couldn't notice it at all too. Anytime I thought It was ghosting, it ended up just being the game having motion blur on. Once I turned that off, my so thought ghosting completely gone. My last monitor was pretty bad. Playing the last of us was my final push at getting a good picture monitor and it did not disappoint at all. I will say relying on the hdr mode on the monitor alone is bad, very saturated. Did not calibrate so it may just need to be tune. I just used the HDR mode on windows 10 and everything was perfect. Think windows just calibrate it on its own while utilizing it. For the low price for Mini led which is said to be as close as you can get to Oled and having HDR 1000, which is said HDR only really noticeable pass 600. One hella of a deal. Looks better then a lot of monitors I see at best buy that cost way more. Will share picture later if I can

This is a truly beautiful monitor. It's my first OLED monitor, and the difference between this and my old VA monitor is astounding. My phone camera doesn't do the screen justice unfortunately, but the color accuracy difference is fantastic in person. I personally use this in the DCI-P3 color mode as it's much more accurate than the SRGB mode, SRGB is better for web browsing though and easier on your eyes. The HDR mode is honestly not that good, and makes the colors looked washed out, and honestly just way better without it since I prefer color accuracy over HDR contrast. It's my first time using HDR though so possibly I didn't set it up correctly, or Windows is just bad for HDR which I've heard, I also followed tutorials on YouTube so I believe I did everything right. Pros - • Amazing visuals, color accuracy, and text clarity • Great refresh rate at 240hz, I think it's actually 280hz on my end, but it's advertised as 240? Not sure, but not much of a difference either way between the two • Easy to set up, and looks great out of the box • Easy to adjust height and rotate, great feature I wish more monitors had • 3 year warranty including burn-in, hopefully I'll never need to use it but good to have • Glossy screen makes the colors pop, love it, but also reflects light and may be annoying for some • No VRR Flicker, I watched a lot of videos on OLED VRR Flicker before buying and I'm happy to say I haven't noticed any at all since I've bought this. I made sure to change certain settings in the monitor and Nvidia panel to get the frame rate as consistent as possible to avoid this. And I haven't noticed any before or after the changes, so I'm happy • VESA mount compatible Cons - • Terrible V stand, the "Gamer V-Shape" stand is an annoying trend and is rather large / long. This is a personal preference, the stand itself is fine I just don't like these kinds of stands, which I could change it. • QD screen purple reflection hue. Now, this personally doesn't bother me, and I don't really even notice it in game unless I'm in a pitch black area and I have room lights on behind me, other than that I never notice it unless the screen is off. But, this might be annoying to some but really isn't bad. • The "Pixel Refresh" reminder pops up seemingly in random intervals? It's supposed to show up every 4 hours of use, but I play for an hour or two, turn off the screen, come back to it the next day or a few hours later, play another hour or so and it pops up. I thought it was every 4 consecutive hours of one-time it would remind you, but maybe it's just every 4 hours the screen is on all together. • No Speakers. This might be a deal breaker for some, but I have my own desk speakers and headphones I use so it doesn't bother me Overall/ TLDR - This is a fantastic QD-OLED 2k monitor that beats the average market price and doesn't skimp out on many features. If you're on the cusp of switching from IPS / VA panels to OLED and can't make up your mind, like me, this is a fantastic budget option which I highly doubt you'll regret. It's a beautiful monitor with amazing colors and perfect for everything I'd want or need.

I took way too much time before buying this. Yes, it's totally worth it. 1. The colours are outstanding. Please don't let people throw you off by remarking on a pinkish hue. For me, I've not noticed it. Colors look vibrant, darks are indeed dark and all that jazz. How this translates for you most likely: +you want to play games way too long, +watch movies for way too long, +sink hours upon hours needlessly web surfing. Why? Just cuz. The screen looks that freaking amazing! And you can't believe it costs under $300. Then there's the stand. It's proven more useful than I would have predicted. Sometimes I like to feel super official and read my kindle books on a bigger size screen - especially for DK books or you know, those cool "coffee-table" kind of books I think they are called. Anyway, this monitor is AMAZING for that. I thought adjusting the screen to different orientations would prove more challenging and keep me from wanting to do it often, but not at all. Luckily it doesn't take massive strength or strain or anything to move the monitor around, and sometimes that allows for experimentation using your monitor in ways that you may not even realized you'd appreciate. Again, for me, that's proven true in regards to reading kindle books on this monitor. I think I'd now ALWAYS prioritize having a useful, functional stand. I know that monitor arms are a thing, but for some of us, we just want to buy the monitor and be able to use it for as long as possible without having to buy anything else ;) With this, you have one of the very best monitor stands I could imagine. I also want to mention the warranty - a 3 YEAR WARRANTY that goes so far as to cover ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE in the first year. Now that is value unparalleled, and provided that they folow through on those promises to the customer, it's really hard for me to recommend anything else. To anyone who is shopping on a budget but wants something that doesn't feel budget WHATSOEVER, I'd say go this route. When I was monitor shopping, I tried an array of different monitors. Initially I was going for a 42 inch monitor, trying to go for the "best of the best". The Gigabyte Aorus 43vu, for instance, is a great monitor as is the LG C3 in that size category. I tried 34" and 32" inch monitors. Interestingly, even if price wasn't a consideration, I'd still argue that this 27 inch screen provides the better QUALITY and VALUE, which is kind of crazy to be getting both things at once, you know? I kept thinking that a 27 inch screen wouldn't be as "fun" as a bigger screen, but as it turns out, for gaming from a desk, I will now ALWAYS choose 27 inches over 32 inches and anything bigger. Basically, I was wrong thinking bigger translates to a more enjoyable experiencd. ! I know these are specific details, but there may be someone else out there going, hey! I love this monitor, but it's ONLY 27 inches! I can't tell you for sure that it is enough, but for me, the 27 vs 32 inch monitor debate ends with the 27 being the clear choice. Compared to the 43 and 42 inch sized monitors, I definitely prefer gaming on this 27 inch monitor too, I occasionally game on the bigger television I own. I so prefer gaming on the 27. Look, I don't want to encourage anyone to buy this who is gonna hate it. I'm sorry if this love letter to this monitor leads you astray and your experiences end up different than mine. But for real, if you want to skip skimming all the reddit forums and the few reviews you can find on this monitor, just take this recommendation. I came in to this skeptical and am seriously blown away. Let me address a couple of things I was worried about: +it being too big, too thick. It isn't. For me, it's perfect. It doesn't remind me of the 1990 CRTV days, and the depth it does have...it just feels right for the picture it creates, as strange as that is to say that way. I have a desk depth of 30 inches. I'll try to upload photos later in case that will help someone determine if it seems too big. 2. pinkish hue: totally don't see it. Nothing distracts, nothing makes me go oh, this monitor has a bad picture. It's good. For the money, it's great! You could tell me this should cost someone $600, and I'd believe it. It performs far above its asking price. Think about that. How often do you buy something that feels really like it should cost twice the price even? Not often enough! Do yourself a favor! Go for it. (To everyone who wants to make a size matters joke, ditto. Enjoy your day and this review!)

I got it on sale for about $160. It was easy to put together and set up. It does come with a power cable, a DP and HDMI cable as well. The monitor is flat-screen, which I like. It is quite impressive, with the 2K resolution looks crisp and clear, and the high refresh is buttery smooth. Since it is a VA panel (some type of LCD), I do notice ghosting with dark colors. The contrast is great as well. It has buttons on the bottom, to adjust volume, tweak the display, change source, and a few others, which is nice. The biggest downside to me is that it has no built-in speakers. It does have an AUX jack in the monitor. After a month of use though, I have yet to come across any issues.

I think this is a great monitor. Great color and I get a great picture. I need to install a distro with KDE to test out the HDR, right now Linux Mint Cinnamon does not have support for HDR. But the non HDR display is great for me. I did have a scare at first, I used the included DP cable to connect to my System and all I would get is the beeping from the computer cause the Graphics card wasn't detecting a signal. I tried turning the cable around, but no difference. I thought I was going to have to return it, but I tried my DP cable I was using on my previous monitors and the system booted up and I got a display. So apparently the DP cable that came with it is defective. But this cable is working so I am happy. Well worth the $249.

Underrated solid monitor. If you’re looking to upgrade to an oled or 1440p I would buy this one. Great price for a 1440p 240hz oled. Amazing contrast, no fuzzy text unlike Woled. Nice set of settings. Comes with hdmi and display port cables, great fully adjustable stand etc. don’t waste your money on the same features for other brand names. And 4 year warranty if you’re worried. I bought it one sale for $400 which is honestly completely worth it for this monitor. I use it for pc and ps5, it’s the perfect monitor for ps5 does 1440p 120hz hdr gaming and 4k 60hz also hdr when on YouTube, Netflix etc. it switches between 4k and 1440p automatically so just leave it at 4k. No vrr but I don’t have any issues and no flicker so far. It also has speakers but they’re bare minimum if you don’t mind bad quality and just plain sound it’s a bonus. You get used to the sound so I’d say it’s a plus overall for budget gamers. For most people this would be the perfect monitor.

Monitor looks great for HDR gaming, it gets bright, and it looks fun. Maybe not accurate, but accurate enough for me as a casual media consumer and gamer. 4k is significantly better than 1440p, while in my opinion 1440p is not miles better than 1080p on a 24in monitor. But it is a slight improvement with far detail in games you can't supersample(DLDSR, DSR, AMD Super Resolution, Internal Resolution sliders) to 4k. The refresh rate of 180 is stable on my unit and with strong pixel response settings gives me good motion clarity. Latency on this screen has tested above average in many conditions and in my personal experience it feels snappy and responsive. The VRR implementation does not detract from any of the monitors features and works perfectly with any setting you use, except of course at low refresh rates higher pixel response times leads to ghosting but that is common with VA panels. As a VA panel contrast is much better than another mini-led IPS with 3x the dimming zones. I think it looks better than even an 1100 dimming zone IPS for contrast and perception of black levels. But since it is a mini led with only 330 dimming zones in some circumstance it is impossible to not see the dimming zones activating and deactivating, a problem that is less noticeable the more dimming zones your monitor has. In gaming its not distracting but on general desktop use you might notice it. For general desktop work use disabling local dimming is preferable, like typing up a paper ect ect. This monitor allows you to disable it even in HDR, which is nice if you keep your windows desktop locked to HDR mode. This monitor would be better if it was glossy, or even semi-glossy. VA panels are very good at contrast, and the matte AG coating doesn't let it shine the way it should. It does look very good, even with the AG coating, it could just be better. I personally keep windows in HDR mode, but swap between a few settings depending on time of day. First thing you're going to want to do is use the windows HDR calibration tool to generate an ICC profile, I suggest you do /not/ touch the saturation slider. After this profile is set you're going to want to find the SRGB ---> gamma2.2 project since most SDR content is gamma2.2. Any other thoughts on that are advanced and if you know you know. 30 Windows Content Brightness + 200nit/2.2 lut 80 Windows Content brightness + 400nit/2.2 lut 100 Windows Content Brightness + 480nit/2.2 lut The 200 nit config generally provides me with the best results at night for SDR content, and overall for any time of day the best results for auto-hdr content. True HDR content ignores windows content brightness but not the lut file. Personally, I miss 4k of the IPS I ruined, but despite having the same HDR1000 spec, and the IPS having more dimming zones, I am enjoying the quality of this monitor more. Its also easier to run games that don't have DLSS or a good implementation of DLSS. TLDR: This is a fantastic FALD HDR1000 gaming monitor. You can do little wrong, especially given its priced this competitively.
