AOC launches AGON AG251FG 25in premium gaming monitor

AOC has released its AGON AG251FG, a 240 Hz refresh rate 25” gaming monitor with NVIDIA G-Sync and a 1 ms response time. The 16:9 screen can manage 2560x1440 and offers a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Brightness measures in at 400 cd/m2, and that 2560x1440 is actually at 144Hz and 240 Hz at 1080p. Which,we agree is a little weird. So what is this a Full HD or WQHD screen? AOC recommend the Full HD 1080p resolution.

With a refresh rate of 240 Hz, NVIDIA G-Sync technology and a response time of only 1 ms, the 25” premium gaming monitor AOC AGON AG251FG puts an end to these issues once and for all. Instead, competitive gamers are able to enjoy smooth and highly response gameplay and graphics. AOC Shadow Control enhances image quality by adjusting the shadow and light levels on the screen so that the screen is neither too washed out nor too dark.

To make long gaming sessions more enjoyable, the AG251FG is equipped with the AOC Ergo Dial Base, allowing for height, tilt and swivel adjustment. An integrated height scale enables you to always set up the monitor in your preferred setting and suited to your individual needs. The display is also easy on the eyes, with AOC Flicker-free technology reducing the flicker that so often causes eye discomfort and fatigue.

Size 24.5"
Resolution 2560x1440@144Hz
Inputs HDMI , Displayport , USB fast charge
Response time 1 ms
Features Plug and Play, i-Menu, e-Saver

The AOC AGON AG251FG is expected to be available in August 2017. The MSRP is £519 / 559 Euro / 499 USD.

Probably bandwidth related. 1080p240 would be approximately 1.49GB/s, while 1440p144 is approximately 1.59GB/s. HDMI 2.0 provides for 2.25GB/s of total bandwidth, DP1.4 some 4.05GB/s, so neither is capping out the external interface but they could be getting close to the limits of the G-sync module or some other internal interface.

yes but 1080 over 1440 is way too bad. unless you can do a black frame around and pretend you are on a 19" monitor.

if it was only 27" I would have already made up my mind to buy 3 to replace my current surround setup. ( I assume reasonable qled/oled and hdr10 will be another 8 year wait at this rate considering no self emitting diode yields and monitor adoption hasn't even started. And HDR color accurate fast monitors r just priced bonkers. )

With my luck the market will read as much as meaning a market does not exist instead of them realizing they miscalculated reality by a couple parallel universes where they could butt f*%k us with 27" $2000 monitors and we would b grateful for the buggering.
