AOC AGON PRO AG276QKD2 promises 500Hz gaming and upgraded OLED brightness

The latest AGON by AOC gaming monitor has arrived. The new AGON PRO AG276QKD2 pushes refresh rates to the limit with a 500Hz QD-OLED panel.

The new AGON PRO AG276QKD2 ships with a 3rd Gen QD-OLED panel, with 2560×1440 resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 500Hz. Assuming you have the graphics card power to achieve such high frame rates, the end result should be super smooth gameplay paired with instant response times.

Unlike previous AGON PRO QD-OLED models that featured DisplayHDR True Black 400, the AG276QKD2 elevates the experience with a DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. This enhancement delivers a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m² (APL 3%), 515 cd/m² (APL 10%), and 300 cd/m² for a full white screen, representing a significant step up in brightness compared to previous models. The monitor supports 10-bit colour depth and therefore 1.07 billion colours, with exceptional colour coverage of 99.1% DCI-P3 and 98.0% Adobe RGB as well as an sRGB gamut area of 147.6%, making it equally suited for competitive gaming and professional content creation.

For connectivity, the monitor ships with a DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR 20) port, offering up to 80Gbps of bandwidth, so you won't have to make any sacrifices to image quality to achieve the 500Hz refresh rate. The monitor also has dual HDMI 2.1 ports, ensuring compatibility with current-gen consoles, as well as PC.

The AGON PRO AG276QKD2 will be available starting this month, priced around £679 in the UK.
