AOC AGON AG271QX gamer monitor test
As you can read on the previous pages, the monitor has a TN panel. This technology suffers from many disadvantages compared to IPS technology. Color fidelity is worse, blacks are worse, contrast is worse, and viewing angles are downright snappy. This is, of course, information that is irrelevant to a player. For example, I only played a little on it, also just for the sake of rehearsal, but I worked a lot, cut a video, edited a picture, and wrote text. From that, however, no matter how much it seems like I’m sipping the monitor, my eyes haven’t fallen out and I can’t see worse.
The detailed and professional analyzes found on the net all support my subjective opinion that the AOC AGON AG271QX is an exceptionally good monitor and not just among the TN panels. The testers agree that the backlight is almost completely uniform, although, as we are used to with similar products, there is a little extra at the corners of the screen and the middle area is a little darker.
The brightness is very good, actually even better than the factory specification. However, this, due to the working principle of the TN panel, degrades the contrast, i.e. if we completely increase the brightness. In practice, this means that the higher the brightness, the grayer the black parts will be.
Another positive is that the sRGB color space coverage is 100 percent, though AdobeRGB only knows 77 percent. Since we are not talking about a monitor designed for graphic work, these values are perfectly acceptable!
What do I think of the AOC AGON AG271QX monitor after one month of use?
For me, the first good point during its commissioning was that thanks to the monitor stand, I was able to fully adjust both the height and tilt to my needs. Anyone sitting in front of the screen as much as I do knows how important this is when buying a monitor.
Although I made little use of the Quick Switch panel when I had to, it was very convenient not to have to juggle the tiny buttons on the monitor.
As I wrote, I used the display relatively little for gaming due to lack of time, but I tried to take time for that as well. I basically like FPS games where fast movement dominates. For these, and perhaps for simulators, the most important thing is to get the image to the panel quickly, in the right amount per second, and evenly, without interruption. In this respect, a response time of 1 ms is definitely a big advantage, as is AMD FreeSync technology and a refresh rate of 144 Hz.
The downside is that I can only mention that I did not find any pre-programmed profiles that support work in the monitor settings. this is of course quite a small drawback to the advantages, especially since the AOC AGON AG271QX is a blood gamer monitor, so I dare to recommend it to all my dear readers for this purpose!
