AOC is rolling out its new Agon AG322QC4 display which one of the first monitor to support FreeSync 2
This is AOC’s first gaming display to support FreeSync 2, which has more stringent requirements than the previous generation FreeSync, and just the second time it has announced a FreeSync 2 monitor. Part of that specification entails HDR support—in this case, AOC’s new monitor also bears VESA’s DisplayHDR 400 certification badge, with peak brightness rated at 400 nits.
The new monitor features a “3-sided frameless” design with a 31.5-inch VA panel. It has a 2560×1440 resolution (16:9 aspect ratio) with a 144Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, and 2,000:1 contrast ratio. We haven’t tested this display ourselves, though on paper, it looks capable of holding its own in fast-paced gameplay.
Another aspect of FreeSync 2 worth mentioning is Low Framerate Compensation (LFC). This is intended to reduce stuttering when framerates drop below a certain level. With this new monitor having a 144Hz refresh rate, the FreeSync range should be pretty generous.
Port selection consists of two USB 3.0 ports, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a pair of DisplayPort 1.2 ports, and a VGA connector. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack and two built-in 5W speakers.
AOC says the Agon AG322QC4 will be available in June for $599 (£529)
