About this deal

I also noted the built-in speakers with DTS mode. They put out decent volume without distortion and the DTS option expands the sound field a bit beyond the edges of the screen. There isn’t much bass, but the midrange and high frequencies are well-balanced.

Microsoft for Business CouponExclusive: 20% off select Surface Pro 9 for Business + Type Cover Bundle The argument presented in the video is a lot more nuanced then "get the OLED", you are entirely misrepresenting it by glossing over the points made. Vayra86Absolute nonsense, all you have to prevent is getting sunlight to fall onto your screen or having it behind you, which is the case with every other monitor ever - that's just unpleasant to look at.It's a funny thing, light bounces. When light is bouncing through a room, it's called ambient light. You'll almost always have ambient light unless you live in a darkroom. I never said anything about direct sunlight, I specifically referenced ambient to avoid the the assumptions like you've made here. Vayra86But 180cd/m2 is a standard issue brightness & calibration target for any typically lit room. Daylight, mind, or office lighting. OLED meets that spec just fine. Another aspect here is that at higher brightness greyscale balance and deltaE errors can increase which they certainly do on any LCD, with IPS suffering the least - but that comes with a meagre 1000:1 contrast as well.No, standard is much higher:The input panel features a single DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports. DisplayPort supports G-Sync Ultimate from 1 to 240 Hz, while the HDMI ports work from 48 to 144 Hz with either G-Sync or FreeSync. USB comes in version 3.2 with one upstream and four downstream ports. The photo doesn’t show it, but one of the ports is meant for Nvidia’s Reflex Latency Analyzer and is color-coded green. To use this feature, you’ll need a supported mouse. Read more about it in our overview here. OSD Features The AG274QXM has a native 170Hz refresh rate, which is fairly modest in the 1440p monitor space nowadays (with a fair few 240Hz+ options available), but still decent for gaming. There is an advertised 1ms G2G response time spec, and a range of overdrive settings available in the menu to help you obtain the optimal gaming performance and pixel response times. Performance in the default DisplayHDR mode is captured above, and this was similar in the other modes too. You can see a pretty decent PQ gamma on the right hand side which was pleasing, but there is a massive skew in the balance of RGB in this mode for a wide range of grey shades, especially for lighter shades and white. The average colour temp was a bit too cool at 6915k, and white point was slightly cooler still at 7059k (9% deviance from target). This leads to some very high errors in greyscale on the left.

Build quality is not as nice as monitors from Alienware or the Asus Republic of Gamers line, as the design is not as cohesive and doesn’t gel around a recognizable brand identity. It’s close, though, and AOC deserves credit for delivering a handsome piece of kit for the price. The AG274QZM is among the least expensive Mini-LED monitors on the market today, yet feels nearly as premium as competitors sold for hundreds more. The Samsung Odyssey G7 falls behind in terms of image quality. The MSI uses Quantum Dot LEDs to match the AOC for contrast, but its colour performance and relatively weak brightness levels mean that screen can’t contend with the AOC for sheer vibrancy or HDR grunt. If you want solid HDR in games and movies, and want to pay as little as possible, the AG274QZM is hard to beat. AOC Agon Pro AG274QZM: Features and menus evernessinceNo, that's an assumption you made. If you read my priors, I specifically state on multiple occasion that the benefit under typical lighting condition of OLED wanes. I also made an argument that current OLED monitors (I'm putting more qualifiers here because you seem drawn to misinterpreting things) are too dim to be used in all environments, which is 100% true. You’ll notice the benefits when viewing any HDR content, whether it’s games, HDR movies, or even HDR clips on YouTube. A sunset will appear bright, crisp, and detailed, while a flashlight in a foggy midnight forest will appear as a spot of brilliance in an otherwise foreboding scene.

Gamut coverage – we provide measurements of the screens colour gamut relative to various reference spaces including sRGB, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB and Rec.2020. Coverage is shown in absolute numbers as well as relative, which helps identify where the coverage extends beyond a given reference space. A CIE-1976 chromaticity diagram (which provides improved accuracy compared with older CIE-1931 methods) is included which provides a visual representation of the monitors colour gamut as compared with sRGB, and if appropriate also relative to a wide gamut reference space such as DCI-P3. Max brightness of my OLED still is higher than the display I replaced so it's not exactly a deal breaker for a lot of people upgrading. I can understand if you were going from 600+ nits sustained down to whatever but most people are sidegrading the brightness at worst and thats for those at max brightness anyway. That carries over to the Blur Busters UFO test. I can’t spot any motion trails or judder on the test pattern; the AGON PRO AG274QZM has just about the best motion clarity I’ve ever seen on a non-OLED display.

refresh rate This fast-paced panel is ready for eSports thanks to superb motion performance and a 1ms response time. It also sports decent contrast for an IPS panel. Monitors with local dimming zones typically rely on them to boost their contrast rating and can’t compete when it’s turned off. Take the Sony Inzone M9 for example, which dropped from a 1064:1 contrast ratio with local dimming enabled to only 935:1 when it was turned off. That isn’t the case with the AGON PRO, as I measured a respectable 1138:1 contrast ratio without local dimming, a bit better than the standard 1000:1 for these panels. The screen has a blue peak at 449 nm, and is unfortunately not part of the Eyesafe certified range of screens. There are a range of blue light reduction modes in the OSD for pre-defined usage like internet, office and multimedia for instance. Each seems to make the image slightly more greenish in colour in fact and makes the image slightly warmer as well, therefore reducing the blue peak a bit. The maximum mode is called ‘reading’ and is about 5208k. Response Times and GamingOct 12th 2023 OLED Monitor Shipments Predicted to Soar by 323% in 2023; 2024 Shipments Expected to Surpass One Million Units (28) The star of the show is the high peak brightness, with the AG274QZM peaking at over 1,100 cd/m² in HDR. Brightness is equally impressive in SDR, although the measured brightness falls short of the specified 750 cd/m² – the highest recorded brightness was 668 cd/m² but the picture was far too warm. Using suitable display settings for a balanced picture, 540 cd/m² was the best I could achieve, though this rose to over 600 cd/m² after calibration. You can also activate local dimming for SDR content, which boosts the contrast significantly. Out of the box, the native colour setup could be much better. There was also a slight but visible difference between the default and calibrated image. Gamma presets were either slightly above or below the ideal 2.2 curve and, although the white point technically measured up at a perfectly acceptable 6800K using the Normal colour temperature preset, the display visibly has far too much red present.

The spec list will have gamers salivating: it’s Mini LED, runs at 240Hz and has a 1ms response time. It’s littered with RGB LEDs and even has a KVM switch for easy PC and console use. Regarding brightness, I have a lot of light around my screen and I find it bright.I don't know why Microsoft doesn't just support other subpixel layouts in general. OLED text on MACs look great. The panel response of the AG274QZM is excellent. In my testing, setting the overdrive to Weak garnered the best results, effectively eliminating motion blur. Responsiveness is very slightly improved with the Medium preset, but this introduces slight overshoot, whilst the Strong overdrive setting further increases overshoot and introduces some mild inverse ghosting, though not to the levels of some other panels we’ve tested. We should note here as well that we measured a super low input lag on the AG274QXM. There was a total display lag of only 1.60ms average, so the screen is perfectly fine for fast paced competitive games if you need.
