AOC is to release two WQHD (2560x1440) AG241QG and AG241QX monitors based on a 23.8" TN panel. They fall in the gamers AGON line-up with both a Adaptive sync (FreeSync) and GSync model.

The 23.8” TN panels with a 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) resolution means business at a nice 123.41 PPI. The ‘QX’ model features a 30 – 144Hz variable refresh rate range with Adaptive-Sync (AMD FreeSync compatible). The ‘QG’ model features a 30 – 165Hz variable refresh rate range with Nvidia G-SYNC support reports pcmonitors.info

Both screens offer a 1000:1 static contrast ratio and support for 8-bit colour. A 1ms grey to grey response time is specified. The ‘QX’ model features ‘Low Blue Light’ settings and an ‘AOC Shadow Control’ setting (gamma enhancement) to increase details in dark areas. The ‘QG’ model, has ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) as an Nvidia-specific feature. Both models support 100 x 100mm VESA mounting.

Outpust are DP 1.2 (supporting either G-SYNC or Adaptive-Sync for the ‘QG’ and ‘QX’, respectively), HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack and 4 USB 3.0 ports. The HDMI port is MHL-compatible for the ‘QX’ model and there is also an additional DVI port on that one. There are integrated speakers – 2W for the ‘QG’ model and 3W for the ‘QX’ model.

Details on the 23.8” QG and QX models can be found at the links. They’re currently expected in November in the UK at MSRPs of £519/575 euro and £389/430 euro for the ‘QG’ and ‘QX’ models, respectively. Availability in regions such as the US is not currently known.

Imo optimal resolution for 1080p. But too small for 1440p.

Yet more terrible monitors with horrible black levels... The only way to get your games looking good is with great colours and black levels, not hz.

I've recently came up with a great idea for my 28inch 4k monitor. By running it at 3840 x 1646 instead of 2160. I've turned my monitor into a smaller paranomic 21:9 running at 1646p. This makes sense as 4k is really hard to run at a nice fps on modern games and running it at ultrawide paranomic looks very cool.

Not true and I have 144 Hz monitors and they have their place for like BF3, 4 etc but anything else? Nope. So don't exaggerate.

If you're not playing competitively then you could go for something else that would be far better in quality.

Besides I play a number of games competitively and when I decide to go downstairs to play on my TV which is far better quality picture wise I enjoy the games more and it does not seem to affect my performance tbf.

I can tell the difference in smoothness but I for one enjoy my games more. If I really want to be competitive I will go upstairs but competitive is not everything. Not every game is competitive.
