AGON PRO AG276QKD2 Combines 500Hz Speed with QD-OLED
- AOC introduces a 26.5″ QD-OLED gaming monitor with 500Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR True Black 500, and advanced connectivity for competitive play.
High-Speed Visuals for Competitive Gaming
AGON by AOC has unveiled the AG276QKD2, a 26.5-inch gaming monitor featuring third-generation QD-OLED technology and a 500Hz refresh rate. Designed for esports professionals, the display delivers a rapid 0.03ms GtG response time alongside high contrast and color accuracy typical of QD-OLED panels. The combination of DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification and DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity positions the monitor as a high-performance option for competitive environments. Its QHD resolution (2560×1440) and 110.84 PPI strike a balance between visual clarity and system efficiency.
The monitor’s format supports modern PC gaming without overburdening high-end GPUs. Fast-paced titles benefit from smoother motion and reduced latency, giving players a measurable edge. Visual fidelity remains uncompromised, with sharp details and consistent frame delivery. These attributes make the AG276QKD2 suitable for both serious gaming and content creation.
Enhanced HDR and Color Precision
Compared to previous AGON PRO models, the AG276QKD2 improves brightness levels with peak outputs of 1000 cd/m² (APL 3%), 515 cd/m² (APL 10%), and 300 cd/m² on full white screens. This enhancement contributes to more vivid highlights and deeper blacks, especially in dynamic scenes. The QD-OLED panel supports 10-bit color depth, covering 99.1% of the DCI-P3 and 98.0% of the Adobe RGB color spaces. With a 147.6% sRGB gamut, the monitor meets the demands of both competitive players and visual professionals.
Motion clarity is further supported by the ultra-low response time, which minimizes ghosting and blur. Anti-reflective coating ensures visibility even under bright lighting conditions. These features collectively improve gameplay precision and reduce distractions. The monitor’s performance has been validated by esports players, including Zack “Stompn” Lamb from G2 Esports.
Connectivity and Ergonomics for Extended Use
Equipped with DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR 20), the AG276QKD2 offers up to 80 Gbps bandwidth, enabling full QHD resolution at 500Hz with 10-bit color. The package includes a 1.8-meter DisplayPort 2.1 cable to ensure optimal throughput. Two HDMI 2.1 ports and an additional HDMI cable provide compatibility with next-gen consoles and varied PC setups. USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports support fast charging and peripheral connectivity, while audio output options accommodate diverse configurations.
Adaptive-Sync technology delivers tear-free visuals across the 48–500Hz range. Console support includes QHD resolution at 120Hz for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The stand offers 130mm height adjustment, tilt (-5°/+23°), swivel (±20°), and pivot functions for ergonomic comfort. VESA 100×100 mounting and a textured black-gray finish complete the design.
OLED Burn-In and Warranty Coverage
To address concerns about OLED longevity, the AG276QKD2 includes built-in OLED Care features and a three-year warranty that covers pixel burn-in under standard usage. This level of coverage is uncommon in the gaming monitor segment and reflects growing industry attention to panel durability. The monitor joins AOC’s expanding AGON PRO OLED lineup, which targets users seeking high refresh rates and premium image quality. At €799, the AG276QKD2 offers a competitive package for serious gamers and creators alike.
