Results here were good, with no significant deviations recorded. There were some patches of relative weakness (warmer colour temperature), particularly centrally, but the deviation recorded was not significant. Note again that individual units vary when it comes this and other aspects of uniformity and that you can expect deviation beyond the measured points. The VA panel also brings with it perceived deviations in colour temperature which aren’t accounted for by these measurements. Indeed, we did observe a noticeably cooler look to white and light greys towards the flanks of the screen which was most intense when viewing from a relatively close viewing position (<60cm). The monitor offers excellent contrast and brightness levels, making it easy to differentiate between light and dark areas in games. This enhances the overall visual experience, making scenes more captivating and realistic. The brightness levels are adjustable, so you can optimize them according to your preferences and the ambient lighting conditions in your gaming space.
By doing so, you will eliminate all screen tearing and stuttering as long as your FPS (Frames Per Second) is within the VRR range. The real Achilles heel of VA models like this, though, are the transitions involving darker shades. This includes so-called ‘high contrast transitions’ between bright and significantly darker shades, but also mixtures of very dark and medium-dark shades moving against one another. There were some standout weaknesses on this model where these transitions were concerned, even using our preferred ‘Strong’ setting for ‘Overdrive’. There were instances of significantly slower than optimal pixel transitions, giving a ‘smeary’ trailing in places. This often contained an element of ‘break-up’ trailing whereby some shades would leach out during the transition. The dark military uniform of a solider at night against the sky, for example, might have some of the dark brown or green shades leaching out as ‘break-up’ trailing. The section of the video below gives some examples of this and also looks and some of the faster transitions on this model. As noted, many transitions are enough to avoid these distinct stand-out weaknesses. But some persist and that could annoy some users. As above, but a significantly weaker LBL setting with no noticeable green tint. The blue channel is weakened only slightly compared to factory defaults.The monitor is bright and can be configured to be at the maximum output of 400 nits, but this isn't an impressive figure for HDR displays. It's of striking quality, but don't expect to be blown away by HDR content on this panel. It's designed more like a gaming display. It has a QHD screen, which means it has excellent sharpness and clarity. This makes it great for gaming and office work, as you can see the text clearly without zooming in. The monitor has a slight curve, but isn’t very noticeable since the screen isn’t too big.
The AOC AG273QCX provides an immersive image quality thanks to its high contrast ratio, wide color gamut, and 1440p resolution, while AMD FreeSync, 1ms MPRT, and 144Hz ensure a smooth and responsive gaming experience.Our suggestions regarding use of VSync also apply, but obviously you’re using Nvidia Control Panel rather than Radeon Settings to control this. The setting is found in ‘Manage 3D settings’ under ‘Vertical sync’, where the final option (‘Fast’) is equivalent to AMD’s ‘Enhanced Sync’ setting. You’ll also notice ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ listed under ‘Monitor Technology’ in this section, as shown below. Make sure this is selected (it should be if you’ve set everything up correctly in ‘Set up G-SYNC’). Gaming features include the Game Mode picture presets (FPS, RTS, Racing, and three ‘Gamer’ customizable profiles), Shadow Control and Game Control (color saturation and gamma curvature adjustments), Overdrive (Off, Weak, Medium, Strong), Dial Point (custom crosshair), Low Input Lag Mode, and Frame Counter. The plethora of additional features as well the ergonomic design and exceptionally rich connectivity options are a big plus as well. Specifications Screen Size The TN panel does mean that you’ll need to be sat head on to the display to get the right viewing angle, and the colour accuracy could sometimes be a little off. FreeSync Premium Pro is supported but there’s no Nvidia G-Sync and the Vesa Display HDR400 isn’t the best you can get either.
The Lagom text appeared with red striping for the most part. This was somewhat more blended towards the top of the screen, with areas of a slightly darker red elsewhere. Around the edges there was a more distinct orange-red striping. There were shifts between various red tones and a more blended appearance alongside head movement changes. This indicates a moderate degree of viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, more so than IPS-type models but to a lesser extent than TN (and indeed some VA) models. The photo below gives a rough idea of how the Lagom text test appeared. Thanks to the AOC AGON AG273QZ’s QHD display (2560x1440p) with 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.5ms response time, it’s safe to say the games we tried looked fantastic and ran smoothly with no lag at all. It is worth considering that to make use of the full refresh rate capabilities, your PC will need the hardware to be able to cope with it. As mentioned in the above section of the video review, we consider the overall pixel on this model to be somewhere in the middle as far as VA models go. Somewhat weaker than what we observed on the Samsung C27HG70 and the AOC C24G1 (even using the ‘Medium’ overdrive setting there). And certainly weaker than on the LG 32GK850G, with appropriate settings. But improved compared to the likes of the AOC Q3279VWF. And quite in-line with the AOC AG322QCX, overall. We also made observations on Shadow of the Tomb Raider. These were largely similar to our observations on BFV and more broadly. This title had a large number of dark shades, with dimly lit interior areas, so ‘smeary’ trailing and ‘break-up’ trailing was quite common. Users probably won’t generally find it distracts too much from the gameplay on titles like this. It’s potentially a lot less bothersome than on titles like BFV, where the added perceived blur and removal of the competitive edge can be more of a nuisance. If your FPS drops below 48 FPS, the monitor uses Low Framerate Compensation (LFC) to maintain smoother performance by doubling or tripling the frame rate. Although the AOC AG273QCX is not officially certified as G-SYNC compatible by NVIDIA, you can still use FreeSync with GTX 10-series or newer GPUs. Finally, thanks to the screen resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, the 27″ AOC AG273QCX has a pixel density of 108 PPI (pixels per inch), which means you’ll get sharp details as well as plenty of screen space without having to use scaling.

The images below are macro photographs taken on Notepad with ClearType disabled. The letters ‘PCM’ are typed out to help highlight any potential text rendering issues related to unusual subpixel structure, whilst the white space more clearly shows the actual subpixel layout alongside a rough indication of screen surface. This model uses a light matte anti-glare screen surface with a slightly rough surface texture. This offers good glare handling and preserves vibrancy better than some matte screen surfaces, whilst avoiding a heavy or ‘smeary’ graininess to the image or a layered effect of graininess. There is instead a light ‘misty’ graininess apparent when observing lighting content, so this doesn’t appear as smooth as on some screen surfaces (including the 31.5” variant of this panel as seen on the likes of the AOC AG322QCX). Most VA models, aside from those using this panel, are known to use smooth surface textures that are free from any readily observable graininess. So we would’ve preferred to have seen panel manufacturer Samsung employ a similar screen surface here. Using the MBR option in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu of the monitor, you can manually alter the strobing frequency (motion clarity vs picture brightness ratio). Features
The monitor also includes a Dynamic Contrast setting called ‘DCR,’ but since there’s no local dimming, it’s not as effective as possible. It reacts well to changes in scene brightness but tends to be a bit too bright for mixed content. We prefer manual brightness control where local dimming is absent. Free-Sync and G-Sync Compatibility Setting the overdrive option to ‘Boost’ enables the Motion Blur Reduction technology. You cannot use MBR and VRR at the same time. While technically the AG237QCX can meet the VESA requirements for DisplayHDR certification, it most certainly cannot at 144Hz, which most gamers buying this monitor will want to do.
In the middle, there’s a spot to attach the stand, and you can also use it with a VESA mount if you want to use your stand. The stand is pretty cool, too, as you can adjust its height up to 110mm, swivel it left and right, and tilt it from -4° to 22° for a comfortable view. But it doesn’t rotate or pivot. Connectivity title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article Be it the mass of ports, FreeSync Pro adaptive sync support or something as simple as the two headset hooks, every detail in the AOC AGON AG273QZ has gaming in mind. It looks modern and premium, with seriously sharp, stand-out image quality and has comprehensive on-screen menus. But while the specs are impressive, they aren’t quite top-tier, ultimately allowing for a mid-range price and just a few high-end features. At 144Hz, above, the UFO appears slightly narrower and more sharply focused. Obviously not as significant a difference as comparing 60Hz to 120Hz, but still an improvement. This reflects slightly lower perceived blur due to eye movement. The trailing behind the object is fairly similar to at 120Hz. Because the perceived blur due to eye movement is decreased (object is narrower) and the refresh rate itself has increased, the pixel response requirements for a ‘clean’ performance also increase slightly. The trailing is therefore slightly more extended, although the overall nature of the trailing is quite similar. Most users will appreciate the improved ‘connected feel’ (explored later) and the overall reduction in perceived blur at 144Hz regardless of this. The ‘Strong’ setting is again optimal, without strong overshoot for the transitions shown here and a slight reduction in trailing compared to weaker settings. The C27HG70 reference almost looks like another step up in overdrive over the AG273QCX, with a bit more of a reduction in trailing without any obvious overshoot being introduced for these transitions. The XG240R reference is very clean indeed, the envy of pretty much any other LCD on the market. Viewing angles aren't bad, and I experienced no issues with light bleed or on-screen artifacts. The low response time and excellent support for gaming also make sure you'll notice very little in terms of lag in-game. If you're gaming, this display was made for you.
