AOC AGON AG271QX gamer monitor test
As I mentioned in the introduction, the AOC AGON AG271QX is a gamer monitor, meaning it strives to meet the needs of gamers. This means that unfortunately the display is based on a TN panel, I note similarly to the solutions of the competitors.
TN + film panels represent a huge setback in image quality from IPS panels. A few years ago, we were delighted to have the cheap IPS panels released here, courtesy of LG, and finally we earthly mortals can enjoy the benefits of IPS. In the meantime, however, it turned out that the IPS panel is nowhere near competing with the TN panels in terms of response times, and a professional player is far less interested in NTSC color space coverage than in displaying an image without dragging and delaying during play. Because of this, the manufacturers then came up with one thing and started manufacturing TN panel monitors again. Color fidelity is crappy, black doesn't just exist in a thousand shades of gray, and viewing angles are very small, but it doesn't get to a player's mind, the point is to see the image from the front, have a good large display and a fast monitor. The AOC AGON AG271QX meets these requirements.
The specific screen size in this case is 27 inches, and the aspect ratio is 16: 9. The native resolution is 2560 x 1440 pixels, the update is 144Hz. The contrast ratio is 1000: 1, the brightness is 350 cd / m2, and the response time, which is why the TN panel was displayed in 1 millisecond, which is commonly called ms.
We have become accustomed to the fact that in the case of a gamer monitor, the customer must choose whether to use an NVIDIA or ATI card, because in the current world, we have to decide whether to use AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-Sync. Unfortunately, I don’t know of a monitor that would support both. The AOC AGON AG271QX is supported by AMD FreeSync, so it's basically recommended to buy it alongside AMD Radeon video cards. It is worth noting here that AOC also manufactures the sibling of this monitor, which was supported by NVIDIA G-Sync. This type is AG271QG
Let's see the connectors!
You should be ashamed of nm for the AG271QX outputs and inputs. In addition to the older D-SUB and DVI inputs, it also has DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI, and even two of the latter. One HDMI also supports MHL, so you can connect a compatible phone directly to it, the other is a plain HDMI 2.0 input. It also has an audio out and microphone input, as well as a USB HUB, which is 3.0, and one of its outputs also supports fast charging of mobile devices.
After the exterior, let's look at the OSD menu.
