AOC releases two 610Hz monitors with new MBR+ technology

Agon by AOC is pushing the boundaries of competitive gaming with the announcement of two new esports monitors boasting a 600Hz native refresh rate, overclockable to 610Hz. Headlining the launch is the Agon Pro CS24A, a special edition monitor developed in partnership with Counter-Strike 2, which arrives alongside its standard-design sibling, the Agon Pro AG246FK6.

Both monitors are built around a 24.1-inch TN panel that is unapologetically focused on speed. The Full HD (1920×1080) resolution enables the incredible refresh rate, which is paired with lightning-fast response times of up to 0.5ms GtG (0.3ms MPRT). While it is a TN panel, AOC is claiming surprisingly good colour performance, with 99.8% sRGB coverage and a DeltaE of less than 2, alongside VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.

At the heart of these new displays is Agon's new MBR+ (Motion Blur Reduction Plus) technology. Unlike traditional backlight strobing, MBR+ uses a dual light bar system with 20 individual LED groups. This allows for more precise strobing in sync with the monitor's refresh rate, promising a higher level of motion clarity and a near-elimination of ghosting.

The CS24A model celebrates the partnership with unique Counter-Strike 2 branding and bold orange accents. More importantly, it includes an exclusive “CS Mode” preset. Accessible via the included wired QuickSwitch controller, this mode optimises contrast, shadow control, and the MBR+ settings specifically for Counter-Strike 2, aiming to give players a competitive advantage. The AG246FK6 offers a more understated aesthetic, following the same design lines of previous Agon Pro monitors.

Both monitors come equipped with a fully ergonomic stand, a four-port USB hub, and support for both FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility. The standard Agon Pro AG246FK6 is set to launch in August 2025, with the special edition Agon Pro CS24A following in September. Both models will share the same MSRP of £599.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
