The world of competitive gaming is now extended by a new highlight: With the AGON PRO AG276QKD2, AGON by AOC presents a monitor that sets new standards in terms of speed, color fidelity and connectivity. The 26.5-inch QD OLED monitor combines state-of-the-art display technologies with an uncompromisingly performance-oriented design. For ambitious players, it is therefore a tool that not only impresses at tournament level, but also offers an impressive experience in everyday life.

  • 500 Hz refresh rate for the smoothest movements
  • 0.03 ms response time to eliminate ghosting and streaks
  • Third-generation QD OLED panel with DisplayHDR True Black 500
  • Future-proof connectivity thanks to DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1

E-sports level performance

The AG276QKD2 is aimed at gamers who don’t want to leave anything to chance in tournaments and ranked games. With its refresh rate of 500 Hz and a response time of 0.03 ms GtG, the monitor offers a speed that displays movements almost without delay. In combination with a QHD panel (2560 x 1440) on 26.5 inches – which corresponds to a dense pixel representation of 110.84 PPI – the display presents razor-sharp images without unnecessarily overloading graphics cards. This balance provides a decisive advantage, especially for competitive shooters or fast-paced MOBA titles.

Adaptive Sync support in the range of 48 to 500 Hz also ensures smooth gameplay at variable frame rates. Gamers on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S also benefit, as the monitor offers a QHD display with 120 Hz console support.

Brilliant displays and HDR experience

Compared to previous models, the AG276QKD2 takes HDR performance to a new level. With DisplayHDR True Black 500, the panel achieves brightness values of up to 1000 cd/m² at peak moments, which makes the display of explosions, bright light or fine image nuances much more realistic. With a virtually infinite contrast ratio and a color coverage of 99.1% DCI-P3 and 98.0% Adobe RGB, the monitor can impress in gaming scenarios as well as in professional image or video editing.

The QD-OLED technology enables intense colors, detailed depths and flawless black levels. Gaming experiences benefit from the fact that even the smallest visual nuances such as hidden enemies or concealed structures become visible.

Future-proof connections and features

The monitor is equipped with DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR 20), which ensures full bandwidth even at maximum performance of 500 Hz and 10-bit color depth. High-quality 1.8 meter cables are included – both DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 – so that the monitor can be used immediately at no additional cost.

For everyday use, the AG276QKD2 offers an integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub with fast charging function for peripherals. Dual 5 W speakers cover basic use, while features such as Shadow Control and customizable gaming modes allow for individual fine-tuning. Professional gamers such as Zack “Stompn” Lamb from the G2 Esports Rainbow Six team also praise the contrast and response times in particular, which can make all the difference in competitive situations.

Ergonomic design and OLED Care

The design is based on the familiar AGON PRO aesthetic in black and dark gray. The stand offers numerous adjustment options in terms of height, rotation and tilt, while VESA compatibility allows flexible mounting. The package is complemented by comprehensive OLED protection mechanisms that significantly extend the panel’s service life. A three-year manufacturer’s warranty, which also covers burn-in, provides additional security when investing in the premium monitor.

Conclusion

The AGON PRO AG276QKD2 combines the highest refresh rate, brilliant color reproduction and state-of-the-art interfaces to create a monitor that has been uncompromisingly developed for e-sports and high-end gaming. With its 500 Hz performance, QD OLED picture quality and extensive features, it pushes the boundaries of what is currently possible in the gaming market. The model is now available at an RRP of 949.00 euros. Further details can be found on the official website.
