And it’s a relative of one of our favourites.
The original AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD is our favourite mid-range gaming monitor with striking, modern looks, a gorgeous OLED panel and a decent port selection. And that has been deemed as excellent value for under £500 when we’ve spottted it at that at varying points.
This deal from Amazon goes a step further, giving you the second-gen model that adds a QD-OLED screen (against the W-OLED of the original), and proper DisplayHDR True Black 400 support for £398. That’s a fantastic discount on a monitor that we’ve usually seen for in excess of £450-500 at the resolution and screen size sweet spot with a whole load of added OLED goodness.
A normal 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor doesn’t usually cost this much, being in and around the £200 mark for a more ‘standard’ IPS screen at the moment. However, in the context of OLED screens, this AG276QZD2 is easily one of the cheapest we’ve seen that hits all the right notes with an easier-to-drive resolution across a great screen size, a super-smooth 240Hz refresh rate for responsive on-screen action, and a lighting fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time. There is support for VRR with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and compatibility with Nvidia G-Sync to prevent any tearing or juddering, while DisplayHDR True Black 400 support is also present for added vibrancy in supported content.
The kicker for the AG276QZD2 is the fact this is an QD-OLED panel, which means deep blacks, surpreme contrast and sublime colours. As someone who’s been in the OLED bubble for a couple of years with our main TV and more recently with a new monitor, it’s life-changing. If you’re worried about potential burn-in, the AG276QZD2 comes with a host of built-in features such as multiple levels of pixel shift and pixel washing settings, and a three year warranty which includes burn-in coverage.
In addition, the AG276QZD comes with a convenient OSD controlled by a joystick on the rear of the panel, as well as some rear-facing ambient LEDs for extra pizzazz. The port selection here is reasonable, with a pair of HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4 options, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack and three USB ports You don’t get more advanced features such as a KVM or USB-C connectivity, though. This is also a smart-looking monitor with an angular stand and lots of adjustment with pivot, tilt, height adjust and portrait orientation all present.
If you want to grab a capable 1440p OLED monitor for a steal of a deal, look no further than this potent Amazon reduction on the AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD2.
