I measured an average Delta E, or difference between a specified value and what’s actually measured, of 1.45, which is low enough that you won’t be able to spot errors with the naked eye, but a maximum Delta E of 3.59 for white. Again, that likely won’t be noticeable to most people, but may not be acceptable if your work is extremely color sensitive.

AOC Agon Pro AG274QZM review: It packs a mini-LED - PCWorld

The default gamma was largely very close to the 2.2 target, dipping a bit low in the lighter grey shades and leading to a 2.15 average overall. Nothing of any real issue there though. RGB balance was pretty good, being only a little low in the green mix. But the resulting colour temp was good across the greyscale with 6497k average (0% deviance). It also offered a reliable white point only marginally off the target at 6460k (1% deviance). This all resulted in a respectable and pretty decent 2.1 dE average for the greyscale accuracy. The luminance was high at 356 nits and so the brightness setting will definitely need to be turned down from the default 70. The contrast ratio was reasonable for an IPS panel and on spec basically at 992:1. G-Sync is officially supported, and this display is also FreeSync compatible. The activation window stretches from 48-240 Hz over both DP and HDMI. If you have a gaming console 1440p@120 Hz is available on the Xbox Series consoles, and Sony now supports native 1440p@120 Hz on the PS5, too. Apart from that, HDR is implemented well and really shines in brighter scenes. Whether it was traveling across a dusty desert in Horizon Zero Dawn with the sun overhead, or swinging through a snowy Manhattan in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, there is a richness and depth to the colors and highlights that are more discernible than in SDR. This is likely due to the panel’s ability to output true 10-bit color when HDR is enabled, even at 240Hz. Still, when exploring dark caves in Horizon Zero Dawn, it felt more “dusky” than truly dark. Poor out-of-the-box calibration The 27-inch AGON PRO tournament gaming monitor comes with 2K Quad HD 2560x1440 resolution IPS panel for excellent visuals. The AG274QXM is one of AOC’s most recent additions to their “AGON Pro” line-up of gaming monitors. Some of the specs might be considered fairly standard or common nowadays, with a 2560 x 1440 IPS panel and a pretty modest 170Hz refresh rate – much higher refresh rate 1440p options are available on the market nowadays, such as the recently tested Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q X with 270Hz. Then there’s common IPS technology specs like a 1000:1 contrast ratio, wide 178/178 viewing angles; and also colour enhancements like wide colour gamut and 10-bit colour depth that you’d find on most modern gaming screens. That’s not to say any of this is bad, it’s just fairly typical in this space.The argument presented in the video is a lot more nuanced then "get the OLED", you are entirely misrepresenting it by glossing over the points made. Vayra86Absolute nonsense, all you have to prevent is getting sunlight to fall onto your screen or having it behind you, which is the case with every other monitor ever - that's just unpleasant to look at.It's a funny thing, light bounces. When light is bouncing through a room, it's called ambient light. You'll almost always have ambient light unless you live in a darkroom. I never said anything about direct sunlight, I specifically referenced ambient to avoid the the assumptions like you've made here. Vayra86But 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.No, standard is much higher: Color gamut is a major strength, as the AOC Agon Pro AG274QZM delivers 100 percent of sRGB, which is common, and 100 percent of AdobeRGB, which is extremely rare even among top-tier OLED and IPS monitors with Quantum Dots panels. The monitor handles 95 percent of DCI-P3. It has a 10-bit panel, as well, which means color banding is rarely visible due to the extreme number of colors available.

The argument presented in the video is a lot more nuanced then "get the OLED", you are entirely misrepresenting it by glossing over the points made. Don’t expect much from the pair of 5W speakers, either. They’re loud, but the sound is muddy and doesn’t have much bass. Use external units or a headset and you’ll have a much better time. Image Quality One of the most notable complaints with the alienware or LG OLED monitors is that text is blurry. This extends to the LG C2 as well. IMO this is a dealbreaker because being a PC monitor means having text on screen in most cases, often of smaller sizes, and impairing the ability to read that is going to diminish the experience greatly. 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. Color accuracy is not as strong, but certainly more than adequate for nearly all situations. The monitor’s color appears realistic and lifelike. As mentioned, though, the monitor doesn’t have preset modes tailored to a particular color gamut, so colors may appear oversaturated depending on the content shown.

It’s a practical panel, too. It’s got 120mm of height adjustment and tilt, swivel and pivot movement alongside 100mm VESA mount support. The KVM switch allows multiple PC or device control from one set of peripherals and on the side it has a headphone hook.

The panel response of the AG274QZM is excellent. In my testing, setting the overdrive to Weak garnered the best results, effectively eliminating motion blur. Responsiveness is very slightly improved with the Medium preset, but this introduces slight overshoot, whilst the Strong overdrive setting further increases overshoot and introduces some mild inverse ghosting, though not to the levels of some other panels we’ve tested. Out of the box, the native colour setup could be much better. There was also a slight but visible difference between the default and calibrated image. Gamma presets were either slightly above or below the ideal 2.2 curve and, although the white point technically measured up at a perfectly acceptable 6800K using the Normal colour temperature preset, the display visibly has far too much red present. Think about that for a second. You take your phone outside and it automatically increases screen brightness so that elements on the screen are still visible. The same concept applies here, the more ambient light, the higher brightness that is required to keep the display visible. In typical internet fashion you replied rudely to a comment you skipped through because you felt a single line was incorrect without reading the whole thing. Vayra86Phone outside is a screen that gets brighter especially when it gets hit by direct sunlight or at least, much more ambient light than you would have indoors.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.Asus ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD October 25, 2023 The large 49″ super ultrawide QD-OLED screen from Asus, with a 5120 x 1440 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate and 1000 nits peak brightness spec You are arguing against it without using it. It is not nearly as dark as you think. I have to turn the brightness down on my OLED.My monitor is calibrated to 210 nits via a ColorMunki Display (a professional colorimeter) for a mostly dim room and I've routinely calibrated displays for people with various needs and ambient light levels. Do not assume that someone doesn't know what a specific brightness level is like. Gamut coverage – we provide measurements of the screens colour gamut relative to various reference spaces including sRGB, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB and Rec.2020. Coverage is shown in absolute numbers as well as relative, which helps identify where the coverage extends beyond a given reference space. A CIE-1976 chromaticity diagram (which provides improved accuracy compared with older CIE-1931 methods) is included which provides a visual representation of the monitors colour gamut as compared with sRGB, and if appropriate also relative to a wide gamut reference space such as DCI-P3. The Samsung Odyssey G7 falls behind in terms of image quality. The MSI uses Quantum Dot LEDs to match the AOC for contrast, but its colour performance and relatively weak brightness levels mean that screen can’t contend with the AOC for sheer vibrancy or HDR grunt.

While that is unfortunate, the local dimming can be turned off without affecting the contrast too much. What’s worse is that it also happens when HDR is enabled and disabling local dimming in that case makes it near unusable, resulting in a terrible, washed-out image. So, although this monitor is HDR1000 rated and certainly can hit those heights, I was disappointed by how it handled menus in dark games like Returnal, as the pure white text ends up looking dim and washed out.

Vesa Certified DisplayHDR™ 1000

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
