AOC launches new 27-inch gaming monitor with 4K 200Hz and 1080p 400Hz dual modes

AOC has released the Agon AG277UXA, a new 27-inch monitor in China that features a dual-mode display. The monitor is designed to run at either a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution with a 200Hz refresh rate or a 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution at 400Hz.

AOC Agon AG277UXA Monitor Specifications

To switch between the two modes, AOC has included a dedicated hardware button on the monitor. The display also has settings to change the active viewing area. You can digitally shrink the picture to a 24.5-inch size or use a 4:3 aspect ratio at a 1280 x 960 resolution.

These specific configurations are often used by esports players who prefer a smaller, more centralized field of view. The monitor uses a Fast IPS panel with a 1ms gray-to-gray response time and a 0.3ms MPRT, alongside custom overdrive tuning meant to reduce motion blur and ghosting.

For color and brightness, the AG277UXA covers 95% of the DCI-P3 gamut and supports 10-bit color. It has a peak brightness of 450 nits and carries DisplayHDR 400 certification. The displays are factory-calibrated to a Delta E of less than 1.

The screen surface uses a three-layer treatment: a standard anti-glare coating, an anti-reflection layer to cut down on ambient light interference, and an oleophobic anti-fingerprint coating to make wiping away dust and smudges easier.

The port selection includes one DisplayPort 2.1 connection with 54Gbps of bandwidth, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a USB-C port. The USB-C port supports video input but only provides 15W of power delivery, which can charge smaller accessories like a phone but will not power a laptop.

The monitor also features a built-in KVM switch for controlling two computers with one mouse and keyboard, a three-port USB-A hub, and a built-in headphone hook.

The included stand adjusts for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot. On the back of the monitor, there is an RGB lighting array that integrates natively with Windows 11 Dynamic Lighting, meaning you can sync the lights with other hardware without downloading extra software.

Pricing and Availability

The AG277UXA is currently available in China with a standard retail price of 2,999 yuan ($450) and an initial launch price of 2,199 yuan ($330).

In related news, AOC has recently launched a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED monitor featuring Samsung’s new five-layer Penta Tandem technology, alongside a new 16-inch OLED portable monitor with a slim aluminium alloy body.
