AOC Announces AGON AG273QCX and AG273QCG 144Hz HDR Monitors
AOC officially announced its newest AGON monitors with ultra-high resolutions, 144 Hz or more refresh rates and HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, in addition to monitors with an ultra-fast response time of just 0.5 ms.
HDR allows exceptional brightness and delivers colours with great contrast. The fastest monitors with 0.5 ms response time let gamers keep their momentum where fractions of a millisecond matter, allowing them not to miss any details which could hamper their success.
As one of the lightning fast models with just 0.5 ms response time, the AG273QCX will be equipped with a 27” curved TN panel at 144 Hz, boasting a QHD (1440p) resolution and AMD’s FreeSync2 with HDR. With a wide colour gamut support, it will have one of the best colour reproductions in TN panels. Its G-SYNC equipped brother, the AG273QCG has similar specs, lacking HDR but in turn boasting higher refresh rate at 165 Hz and G-SYNC support instead of FreeSync2 with HDR.

.5ms response time, that is the only reason they use the TN panel, wish they would do a IPS with a 4ms response time i would be happy about that.

I don't believe it would even measure up to any recognized HDR standard. Just like that last "HDR" VA that stated its specs which were clearly a galaxy away from any standard... then reviewers found it to be worthless in reality.
This TN's specs state 400 CD/M^2, that's 400 Nits at 1 meter. That's nowhere remotely close to making the cut for any HDR standard, it's an LCD, it needs to be insanely bright to create enough contrast to actually be HDR compliant. There is obviously no set number and it depends, but there's no chance 400 CD/M^2 on any type of LCD would be enough.
Also, being a TN, its colours are going to be ass, so even if it can technically display X amount of colours at X bit depth, that's pretty worthless if it's all janky.
Oh and that "0.5ms" is a useless advertising term as well and nothing more. 0.5ms response time of what? Their imagination? As if grey to grey wasn't useless enough of a spec.
I'm still waiting for that 165Hz, IPS/PLS/AHVA, 1440p, 27"+ monitor, which is actually HDR compliant, to become available. I'd just buy a damn TV if there were high refresh rate ones with low enough input lag and response time.
