The art department and marketing team for monitor maker AOC must have dipped into a case of Red Bull, because their superlative descriptors for the company’s new Agon Pro AG276QZD2 “tournament gaming” display have the hallmarks of a caffeine binge (and hey, we can relate!). One of the images (shown above) has a chat bubble proclaiming the monitor to be “Fast AF!,” while another one pitches it as a “Crazy Ergonomic” display.
Credit to AOC for shaking things up (we’re used to generic renders). Cutting through the marketing hype, however, is this a display to get excited about? That depends on what you’re after in a gaming monitor. Not to be confused with the AG276QZD, this updated model with a “2” at the end appears to trade LG’s WOLED (White OLED) screen for a Samsung QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) panel.
Connectivity options aren’t all that exciting, unfortunately—for display inputs, it has a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports and a single DisplayPort 1.4 input. It does at least offer up a couple of USB 3.2 Gen 1 downstream ports so you can connect a keyboard and mouse, if desired, and a 3.5mm audio jack. A pair of built-in 5W speakers round things out.
