Curved AOC AGON frameless gaming monitors now available
AOC’s two new curved AGON gaming monitors with almost bezelless design on 3 sides are now available in stores. Both the 31.5″ QHD AG322QCX and the 27″ Full HD AG272FCX are equipped with a curved display with an extremely small curvature radius of 1800 mm.
Boasting a 144 Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync support, the two new members of the AGON premium gaming line-up will satisfy gamers with a super-smooth experience without motion blur, tearing or stuttering. A highly adjustable stand and multiple convenience and health features will ease gamers’ worries with their long gaming sessions.
Immersion guaranteed
AOC’s new monitors from the AGON premium gaming line-up boast 16:9 VA panels. The 31.5″ (80 cm) AOC AGON AG322QCX brings details to life with the 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution of its big display. A more compact 27″ (68.6 cm) variant, the AOC AGON AG272FCX is equipped with a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. The curvature with a radius of just 1800 mm lets gamers feel fully immersed in their favourite virtual worlds, which also shine in vibrant colours thanks to the VA technology. On its top and sides there are virtually no bezels, which also helps the immersion even more.
Competitive and versatile
In order to satisfy the responsiveness that gamers are looking for, both displays boast a high refresh rate of 144 Hz and offer AMD FreeSync support. Therefore they can handle fast-paced games without motion blur, tearing or stuttering. Additional features include the Low Input Lag Mode, which reduces lag even more, bypassing some internal video processing of the monitor. AOC Shadow Control also enables players to see details masked by overly dark or bright sections. With the included AOC QuickSwitch controller, users can easily change various presets and settings without navigating through the OSD.
To keep players healthy and relaxed, the AOC Flicker-Free technology and the AOC Low Blue Light Mode help to protect their eyes during long gaming sessions. Height, tilt and swivel adjustments thanks to the AOC Ergo Base help to improve their posture as well. Customisable LED lights on the back and the lower bezel, the retractable headset holder and a carrying handle bring convenience and style together to make the impressive feature set complete.
The AOC AGON AG322QCX and AOC AGON AG272FCX are available now. The MSRP is £519 and £389 respectively.

Why is pure cancer? It's the truth. Vendors sell this as gaming hardware, but gaming at 27 inch with that low resolution is atrously bad, and the level of jaggies is very high. The performance you could gain by going that low resolution you loose by enabling AA.
And I'm talking by experience, I tried to use one but I sold it with because I could not stand it.
24 inch is the max I would go for 1080p.

You still need AA on 1440p, besides most of us cant afford a new GPU every year. With mine budget 1440p would be doable when a midrange card could handle that resolution as good as my 480 handls 1080p and since I have bad eyesight that resolution is easier on my eyes with weaker glases that I use at home.

Yeah well, that's only your opinion, as a gamer i'd rather have 1080p with 144hz refresh rate, than a higher rez monitor stuck @ 60hz.

Games and movies look perfectly fine. Just fonts on the desktop looks grainy.
It's the same effective resolution as a 56" 4K TV.

I hate that most reviews NEVER include the format of HDMI OR DISPLAYPORT that the moniter supports.
blah..then you have to hunt for it FOREVER. blah. For some of us, thats a dealbreaker, having an ancient HDMI standard connection.

I used to have a 27" 1080p. Games/movies look fine as stated, but its desktop, text and other elements where pixelation may stand out. 1440p resolves this. 1080p is fine up to 24".. but you're stuck with a small monitor.

Ha ha, that and more specific panel information can be a real pain to look up at times.
EDIT: For a 1920x1080 resolution it wouldn't need the bandwidth advantages found in newer DP and HDMI revisions though there might be other features of interest of course besides that.
(EDIT: Ah but it's a 144hz and it supports FreeSync.)
EDIT: For the 2560x1440 monitor.
http://aoc-europe.com/en/products/specification/ag322qcx
Scanning Frequency Scanning Frequency HDMI2.0/DP : 30 -230KHz (H), 48-146Hz (V)
EDIT: And the 1920x1080 one.
http://aoc-europe.com/en/products/specification/AG272FCX
Scanning Frequency Scanning Frequency 30~160KHz; 48-146Hz
Guessing it's 2.0 as well even if it's unlisted for this one, Display Port I'm a bit uncertain about but 1.3 maybe then?

"almost bezel-less design on 3 sides" is not frameless.
