A pixel response time of 1ms means speed without the smear for an enhanced experience. Fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the effects of ghosting.You’ll need to be a member of the size matters club to appreciate the AG493UCX. At a hair shy of 4 feet wide, its footprint isn’t small. Clear off the desk to set this one up. From the front, you can see a relatively thin, flush-mounted bezel with a wide strip at the bottom broken only by the red Agon logo. The anti-glare layer is the same type found on nearly all computer monitors and has excellent light control with no grain or image distortion. I had considered the Samsung G9 but for that price and the fact that I like play with setting turned up I knew I would never get close to that frame rate and have no interest in spending thousands to trying to game at 240 fps using ridiculously high settings. If it were really into first person shooters I might feel differently. Moving on, the AOC AGON AG493UCX2 has five response time overdrive modes: Off, Weak, Medium, Strong and Boost. I bought this primarily for playing racing and flight sims primarily wanting something with a wider field of view than my 32 inch 4k monitor. So far I love the monitor, setup was simple enough, works great with both my windows PC and my M1 MacBook pro. The MacBook will only allow me to set the correct resolution 5120 X 1440 through the display port on my doc, it doesn’t work correctly via thunderbolt which isn’t a huge deal but the KVM switch only works between my windows pc and Mac via the thunderbird bolt port so I’ll be trying to work around that little issue.

Trying to control it via the monitor itself is pointless. This double-wide aspect ratio is superb for general work and entertainment, too. I routinely use two screens anyway, so I’m used to having the extra screen space to work with, but you aren’t hampered by a separating bezel in the centre, giving you far more flexibility in window sizing and placement. It’s also great if you watch a lot of movies and TV shows that are filmed in a wide aspect ratio.The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. The curve is really well done. I also have the AOC CU34G2X 34" and they feel very similar and that is a solid monitor. Colour saturation and coverage aren’t quite at the heady heights of AOC’s AGON PRO range, but just a few years ago these would be premium display levels. You get full sRGB coverage and reasonable DCI-P3 coverage which gives good colour in HDR content. AdobeRGB coverage could be higher, but the AG493UCX2 is primarily a gaming monitor, so this isn’t a concern. By selecting ‘sRGB’ in the Color Temperature settings in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu, you can also clamp down the gamut to ~100% sRGB to avoid over-saturation, though most users will prefer the added vibrancy of the wider color gamut since it’s not intrusive. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases.

According to the documentation this machine can support One display with 5120-by-2880 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colors (see here - https://support.apple.com/kb/SP795?locale=en_US)

Consoles work perfectly when using PBP, but HDR cannot be used in PBP mode, and there is also no HDR compatibility at all in USB-C (DP alt mode). We didn’t have to stray far from the default settings when calibrating the AG493UCX. While it doesn’t require adjustments, we saw visible improvements after a few tweaks.The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video.
