About this deal

I also noted the built-in speakers with DTS mode. They put out decent volume without distortion and the DTS option expands the sound field a bit beyond the edges of the screen. There isn’t much bass, but the midrange and high frequencies are well-balanced.

With HDR enabled there are 4 modes available in the OSD menu – labelled as DisplayHDR, HDR game, HDR movie and HDR picture. The OSD sections for luminance and colour setup are not available once HDR is enabled sadly, and so you are restricted to the screens default setup Space Lynxi mean if you are going to spend this much money you might as well do the OLED LG 27"I think that's the Achilles heel of mini-LED; The FALD arrays and their associated controller adds so much cost that the end result competes with OLED on price.But 180cd/m2 is a standard issue brightness & calibration target for any typically lit room. Daylight, mind, or office lighting. OLED meets that spec just fine. Another aspect here is that at higher brightness greyscale balance and deltaE errors can increase which they certainly do on any LCD, with IPS suffering the least - but that comes with a meagre 1000:1 contrast as well. For example, my Acer monitor has an out of the box brightness of 260 nits and 340 nits in "sports mode". I think you vastly underestimate the brightness standard monitors come with. The AOC AGON AG274QZM is a fantastic monitor that’s only let down by a poor factory colour setup. HDR performance is excellent, bolstered by the MiniLED full-array dimming, producing wonderfully vibrant colour and retina-scorching peaks. SDR picture quality is also very pleasing, with SDR local dimming improving contrast beyond that of regular IPS displays.

That carries over to the Blur Busters UFO test. I can’t spot any motion trails or judder on the test pattern; the AGON PRO AG274QZM has just about the best motion clarity I’ve ever seen on a non-OLED display.The grey-to-grey response is desirably fast, especially for a display that focuses on image quality as much as it does performance, with average transitions under 15ms. This translates well to gaming; It won’t magically make you better at games, but in a competitive environment where every millisecond counts, you have to take every advantage you can get. Your phone adjusts brightness regardless of whether the sun is directly hitting it or not. Ambient light levels are much higher outside of course but that wasn't the point of my example, it was to point out that higher ambient light levels require higher levels of brightness to properly see the screen. Surely you did not think that I was saying that outside midday lighting is normal inside lighting.Sorry maybe I ran with it a bit - but I do believe you also ran a bit with the LCD is better stance 'because of higher brightness'. Bright screens were never a real perk, and when OLED's 'benefit wanes', is not generally the situation where it matters - when it does matter, you'll make sure its benefit doesn't wane by just closing a curtain.

Although I praised the AGON PRO AG274QZM’s SDR performance, and even though it has 576 dimming zones, I mainly use it with local dimming disabled. There were some much larger improvements in “whole screen contrast” in HDR, measuring a 10% sized central bright area relative to a dark area at the edge of the screen. This was measured at ~37,500:1 which was much better and so overall across the screen as a whole you can achieve some significant improvements in contrast in certain scenarios.The AGON PRO has a 240Hz refresh rate and rapid 1ms GTG response time that helps you hit moving targets with precision and get you ahead of the competition by milliseconds.

From a little projector on the bottom part of the stand shines an AOC AGON logo on to your desktop, or you can turn this off in the menu if you’d rather (you can also disable the RGB lighting if you want).
