But finally this year there is one monitor that does have the hardware chops for true HDR performance It’s unclear if Dough will be using Samsung’s or LG’s 31.5″ 4K 240Hz panel, though they are not advertising the DFR (Dynamic Frequency and Resolution) feature of the LG panel that allows for 1080p 480Hz. AOC G-Menu is a free tool that you can install on your PC to have complete customization paired with maximum convenience.

The monitors are based on 1500R curved VA panels with a high 3000:1 contrast ratio, DisplayHDR 600, 1ms GtG response time and wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut. The monitor also features Gorilla Glass with the DXC Anti-Reflective treatment for better reflection handling, support for pixel-perfect integer scaling and a 3-year warranty (2-year warranty for burn-in, zero bright dot pixel policy). Valotasaisuudessa paneelin suurimmat poikkeamat olivat 7 prosentin tasolla eli myöskään valotasaisuudessa ei löytynyt suurempaa moitittavaa. The operating altitude shows the maximum admissible altitude, at which the display will function flawlessly. Above this level it might not operate properly and/or might seize to function.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. AOC Agon 4 AG274QXM edustaa AOC:n Agon Pro- sarjaa ja se on varustettu tasaisella 2560×1440-resoluution IPS-paneelilla, joka tukee 170 hertsin virkistystaajuutta. Virkistystaajuuden synkronoinnista huolehtii AMD FreeSync Premium Pro ja tuettuna on G-Sync-yhteensopivuus. Näytön erikoisuutena on taustavalaistus, joka on toteutettu 576 alueeseen jaetuilla Mini LEDeillä. Aiemmin testaamassamme 32-tuumaisessa Mini LED -taustavalaistussa Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX:ssä taustavalaisualueita oli 1152 kappaletta. Asuksen 4k-näytön hinta on yli 3000 euroa, kun taas nyt testissä oleva AOC:n näyttö maksaa noin 1000 euroa.

The screen in its native mode produces a wide gamut with saturated and vivid colours, and whether you would consider them “accurate” in this mode really depends on your target colour space. There is a very wide colour space extending far beyond the sRGB reference space (145.3% relative coverage). With the large over-coverage in red and green shades especially, you get large errors when viewing sRGB/SDR content (dE 4.8 average) as shown in the top half of the results above. This is common on all wide gamut screens, but its particularly inaccurate here because of the particularly wide colour space. sRGB colours would be considered ‘poor’ in this native mode. The Asus is also versatile as the PG279QM has outstanding color performance. This is a very wide gamut monitor with great coverage of DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, plus it has elite factory calibration including one of the best sRGB modes we've tested. If you just want a monitor that looks excellent and performs to the top of its ability straight out of the box, the PG279QM is the way to go. We should note here as well that we measured a super low input lag on the AG274QXM. There was a total display lag of only 1.60ms average, so the screen is perfectly fine for fast paced competitive games if you need. Console Gaming

We measured a peak brightness of ~1262 cd/m 2 in HDR mode which was a higher than the spec even. This was not possible on the smaller bright areas due to size of the local dimming, but for 10% windows and above we had a high peak brightness capability. This was even possible with full screen sustained brightness. Further measurements for peak brightness are captured below. 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 static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene.

Performance in the default DisplayHDR mode is captured above, and this was similar in the other modes too. You can see a pretty decent PQ gamma on the right hand side which was pleasing, but there is a massive skew in the balance of RGB in this mode for a wide range of grey shades, especially for lighter shades and white. The average colour temp was a bit too cool at 6915k, and white point was slightly cooler still at 7059k (9% deviance from target). This leads to some very high errors in greyscale on the left. The AOC doesn’t get everything right on the outside, but it impresses in benchmarks. In SDR mode its peak brightness of 581 nits is huge, and in HDR mode that figure tops out at 1,014 nits – another fantastic result. Those scores mean the panel serves up bold imagery in any gaming or media situation. 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. There is some moderate improvement to “local contrast” in HDR, measuring ~3080:1 between adjacent bright and dark areas on a 10% area bright pattern test. Mittasimme tehonkulutusta seinästä Cotech EMT707CTL -mittarilla, kun näytöllä oli Windowsin työpöytä. Näytön tehonkulutukseksi mitattiin 51 wattia.The AOC AGON Pro AG274QXM also has a pair of 5-watt DTS speakers which sound considerably better than most built-ins. They have decent volume levels that are suitable for watching videos, but their bass output isn’t as satisfying. That’s normal with built-ins, but at least you get an upgraded pair that works better with this model. Display and Performance At Gamescom, ASUS revealed the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM based on a 31.5″ 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panel by Samsung. Often even a higher peak luminance can be achieved under certain conditions. For example, when a smaller area/APL of the display is used for showing a bright object, when a bright object is displayed for a short time, etc. Pelaamisen näyttö sopii oikein hyvin korkean virkistystaajuutensa, alhaisen viiveensä ja toimivan virkistystaajuuden synkronoinnin puolesta. Kirkkaan paneelin ja rikkaiden värien ansiosta HDR-pelaaminen on näytöllä erittäin näyttävää. Taustavalaisun korkealla taajuudella toimiva PWM-ilmiö saattaa aiheuttaa mm. silmien rasitusta, mutta AOC on toimittamassa näyttöön firmware-päivitystä, jolla ongelman pitäisi korjaantua. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display.

Fast performance and beautiful colours all in one: The AG274QXM combines a super-fast refresh rate of 170Hz with lifelike images thanks to the mini-LED technology and HDR1000. The monitor works for both PC and consoles at the highest level. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC) is a larger 57″ super-ultrawide curved (1000R) gaming monitor with a 7680×2160 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, a 1ms GtG response time speed, 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, 420-nits typical brightness and a 2,500:1 static contrast ratio. 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 setupThe NTSC (1953) color space is introduced in 1953 by the FCC with the appearance of color television and has a wider gamut than the sRGB.
