AOC uses the opening of Gamescom to introduce the third generation of the AGON gaming monitor with the announcement of Agon AG273QCX and AG273QCG.
Equipped with a 27″ curved QHD tile, these Agon AG273QCX and AG273QCG are designed for AMD and Nvidia players. The first model supports Free Sync 2 HDR technology over G-Sync for the second.
This AGON 3 series offers a new look around a plate edge to edge on three sides with a radius of curvature of 1800R. They are designed to be easy to transport (“LAN parts”) with one click and carrying handle.
The newly designed V-shaped foot is generally less bulky than the previous series. It offers a height and a horizontal rotation adjustment. Each monitor comes with Game Lights AOC, a customizable lighting system in red, green or blue on the back. The system is now circular. On the side of the device, there is a retractable helmet holder on each side of the monitor.
