AOC AGON AG276QZD2 - 27 inch QHD Gaming Monitor, QD- OLED, 0.03ms, HDR400, Height Adjustable Esports Base, RGB Lighting, USB Hub (2560 x 1440, HDMI 2.0 / DP 1.4 / USB 3.2)

Three years ago this monitor would cost twice the price. Well, the monitor is good, very ,very bright, great colours, very responsive and nearly zero ghosting. The time to power on and display the image is very quick. Couldn’t hear any noise or coil whine while the monitor is powered on. About the HDR400, besides people say it’s bad, to me it looks way better than native colour profile. Could be that the implementation is just good in this particular monitor. It came with both HDMI and Display Port cables, a very heavy stand and thankfully a VESA adapter, (that saved me £30) I’ve appreciated that.Just a few complaints: the design of the back of this monitor is very ugly and rgb light are dim. The panel has a glossy finish, and it renders a bit of glare and reflections depending where’s the lights in the room. Also I wish it had an extra display port input.Overall I’m pleased with the purchase and I definitely recommend if you get for £550 and below.

I recently purchased the AOC Agon Pro AG456UCZD monitor, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The image quality is absolutely stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details that make every visual experience a delight. The fact that it's an OLED monitor only adds to its brilliance. For its size and quality, the price is unbeatable. Whether you're gaming, working, or watching movies, this monitor delivers exceptional performance. I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a top-notch monitor.

for reference the monitor i purchased was the AG276QZD2 (im adding this because i find Amazons way of cramming multiple products in the same review section confusing and misleading to potential buyers)Okay so to start this is NOT HDMI 2.1 , im getting tired of seeing false specs advertised.what does this mean? it means you will NOT be running this monitor through the HDMI ports at 240hz 1440p, 2.0 simply does not have the bandwidth available, you will need to use the DP ports instead if you want full 240hz.whats the draw back of that? well nothing really the only thing you lose running through DP is no 12 bit colour option in the Nvidia settings not that i personally saw or could read up online about any full on evidence that running a 10bit monitor in 12bit really does have any effect, at the very least when i ran it through hdmi 12bit i could see no difference between this or 10bit mode despite what people say online but you could argue thats just me so its up to you to decide on that if you would rather sacrifice hz.another thing i see sometimes in the comments is about the picture going black then coming back, most likely this is an issue with your cable not actually being rated for what ever retailer/reseller said it was when you bought it (again tired of false specs being listed on websites like amazon) i had this issue with my DP cable and when i swapped to using the supplied cable provided by AOC i no longer had any black screen flashing issues so i suggest trying that first before writing off the monitor as faulty.next up is the OLED care settings, yes i agree some can be a bit confusing on what it is they do and out of the box its set up to remind you every 4 hours that its time for a pixel refresh, for a gaming monitor this is quite annoying when you are seeing it pop up in the middle of a match but i understand why it is on, i suggest you turn off the reminder in the settings and run it manually when you are done for the day (though i think it does automatically run when it detects nothing being done on the monitor for an extended period of time regardless)now onto the actual quality, i think its fine? its not mind blowing but it deffo has its moments where it can look beautiful compared to my IPS in certain games. the HDR when first turning it on via the windows 11 settings does infact look washed out which seems to be a common response on alot of OLEDS if not all, make sure to run the HDR calibrator in windows and tweak the settings to your liking in AOC's settings aswell. i dont really have any complaints when it comes to this, SDR and HDR content looks perfectly fine, i also see no text issues which is another common complaint with OLEDSanother thing to note is the screen is Glossy which gives it a more premium feel im not sure once again why the listing is wrong and it says matte but it isn't, you will see your beautiful mug when the screen is black depending on the amount of light that is in your room reflecting back at you.the rest of the build also feels solid to me with full height, and swivel adjust, nothing feels cheap imo which is what id expect for any monitor pushing past the £400 price tag.if you want to use the AOC software G-Menu that lets you tweak various settings including the RGB light at the back of the monitor then make sure to connect your monitor via the provided usb cable to your PC, the software can seem a little slow but again i dont have complaints about it ive seen much worse peripheral apps.overall for the price i paid which was £429.97. I think its a great monitor and im happy with it overall for that price, the only reason for 4 stars is mainly due to inconsistency's with the listed specs and i dont think at its full price i would replace my cheaper £250 - 300 ips displays for the benefits of true black, HDR etc , whilst i said above the quality can look beautiful at times in certain games its really down to what you feel like an OLED is worth to you.

This monitor looks absolutely exceptional, It's my first time using OLED on anything except for my mobile phone, and the results compared to other monitors visually are immediately apparent. The contrast and colour is exceptional, while the brightness available is more than enough for most use cases.The setup was easy, the size is accurate, and it's weighty enough to sit comfortably on a desk, but not be so cumbersome you're worried about it.For the price, being one of the cheapest OLED monitors on the market, it's a wonderful purchase.Lots of built in features to protect it from the standard OLED burn in issues

Cannot transition anything across this monitor from either my other 2xAOC monitors on either side of this one. Repetitive warnings of all kinds leading up to the monitor automatically shutting down. So if I'm in a game I lose the screen. Settings are too many and too complicated and I have no idea what most of them are for or what they mean. A simple monitor should be exactly that "simple" Even the reset option in extras does not in fact reset the whole monitor. The graphics are amazing, but the problems severely outweigh the benefits of this monitor. I shall be sending it back for a refund

Toyed with the idea of moving over to an oled monitor having watched many a YouTube video like we all do ?My son purchased the Samsung oled for best part of a thousand pounds which yes looked fantastic but way over my budget.Already owning agon monitor and had no issues the past three years I decided on this and wow a massive impact in visuals ! Very happy with it ,Build quality is excellent, set up very easy and the picture quality is very good indeed ,I play on PC and 1440p 165hz is perfect for me if your looking at oleds then I highly recommend it for the price
