AOC launches 165Hz 27” AG273QX Gaming Monitor

AOC launches 165Hz 27” AG273QX Gaming Monitor

AOC has announced the AG273QX - a variant of the previously introduced AG273QCX, the panel is flat, goes up to 165 Hz and has FreeSync 2 HDR at 2560x1440.

The brightness is up to 400 nits with a typical contrast of 3000: 1. The panel supports FreeSync 2 HDR and is DisplayHDR 400 certified. At a 165 Hz refresh rate, this means the AG273QX draws a frame roughly every 6 milliseconds, which is extremely important for competitive gamers. Coupled with the 1 ms pixel response time (MPRT), this means that gamers will see smoother animations and can track their opponents’ movements more easily.

The AG273QX’s 27” VA panel in QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution employs a native 3000:1 static contrast ratio with deep, inky blacks. Adding to the high resolution and rich contrast is the VESA DisplayHDR 400 support, meaning the monitor is able to reach 400 nits peak brightness. The display accurately reproduces HDR content, such as bright flashes and explosions with varying shades in a dark game world, completely immersing the player in game. The AMD FreeSync 2 HDR feature adds low-latency HDR tone mapping, Low Framerate Compensation (LFC) plus stutter-free and tear-free gameplay just like its predecessor. The flat, sleek, 3-side frameless VA panel of the AG273QX is well suited for gamers who prefer regular, flat displays. Gamers opting for a curved display might prefer its curved siblings the AG273QCX or the AG273QCG.To help gamers transport their monitors to LAN parties or tournaments, the AG273QX is equipped with a carrying handle and provides a one-click easy assembly without screws. The AG273QX also comes with double retractable headset-holders on each side and the Light FX customisable RGB lights on the backside, adding to the personalised feel.


First person shooter fans will especially appreciate the DialPoint, AOC’s aim indicator, which places a crosshair in the middle of screen if there isn’t one present in game. Furthermore, AOC’s Shadow Control can be adjusted in the OSD menu to brighten dark areas or darken bright areas, and the AOC Game Colour makes it possible to increase or decrease colour saturation and grey levels. Three preconfigured (FPS, Racing, RTS) and three user customisable game modes offer easy access to useful presets. The updated OSD on the AGON 3 series makes adjusting settings a breeze, and users can even use the G-Menu software to make further adjustments without using the OSD buttons.

The AOC AGON AG273QX will be available in November 2019 at an MSRP of £439 / 489 EUR.

HDR 400 is useless and 1 ms response time is most likely a marketing trick (technically possible but with big side effects, like tons of overshooting).
Still an interesting option, looking forward for in depth reviews

As far as I know, playing countless titles with "unreal" as the first five letters, center screen was taken away by anticheats, because you just didnt have to target, just move around and get someone in the middle of the screen....this, in my opinion, is a grey area cheat.
I do have an old philips monitor with "game-mode", it lightens up the dark areas, but I never used it.
If someone needs a crosshair from the monitor, as addons might be bannable, then get good, not cheating greymannered.

It beats all the previous HDR monitors doing 200-250 cd/m2. HDR 400 can work in a dark room but is indeed quite underwhelming in decent lit room.

I wouldn't even call them HDR if they don't qualify for the minimum certification (400)
