AGON by AOC, the world’s leading gaming monitor brand, has just taken a major step toward democratizing premium display technology. The company announced its first-ever QD-OLED monitors in the AOC GAMING lineup – the Q27G4ZDR and Q27G4SDR – marking a pivotal moment where the cutting-edge clarity, color, and contrast of OLED panels finally reach mainstream, competitive gamers. Both 27-inch models (26.5” viewable) bring the lightning-fast performance and vivid visuals usually reserved for high-end displays, combining 2560×1440 QHD resolution, OLED’s near-infinite contrast, and insanely low 0.03ms response times. With refresh rates of 240Hz on the Q27G4ZDR and 360Hz on the Q27G4SDR, these monitors give gamers a choice between smooth, all-around performance or absolute peak competitiveness, all wrapped in AOC’s clean new G4 design aesthetic.

Visually, the Q27G4ZDR and Q27G4SDR are sleek and understated, with three-sided frameless bezels and a matte black finish accented by subtle texturing. The fully ergonomic stand provides height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments, while VESA mounting makes multi-display setups simple.

Until now, QD-OLED panels have been the domain of premium monitors well above most gamers’ budgets. AOC’s new AGON QD-OLED duo changes that, introducing OLED’s trademark advantages, including deep blacks, vibrant colors, and unbeatable contrast, at an accessible price point. Both monitors deliver 147.6% sRGB and 99.1% DCI-P3 coverage for color accuracy that rivals professional-grade displays. The 10-bit panels display over 1 billion colors, producing seamless gradients and razor-sharp detail that help players track targets in both the brightest highlights and darkest shadows.

HDR performance is equally impressive: the Q27G4ZDR supports HDR10 with 400 nits brightness, while the Q27G4SDR boasts VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and peaks at 1000 nits for lifelike contrast. With Adaptive-Sync and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, both monitors eliminate screen tearing and stutter across variable frame rates. The near-instant 0.03ms response time ensures total precision, whether flicking across enemies in Valorant or soaring through neon-lit skies in Cyberpunk 2077.

Both Agon QD-OLED monitors have all the connectivity you need for modern gaming: dual HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB 3.2 hub that supports PCs, consoles, and peripherals. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S can take full advantage of QHD 120Hz gaming. And both displays come equipped with AOC’s OLED Care suite and a 3-year warranty that covers OLED burn-in under normal use, an industry-leading promise for this price tier.

With MSRPs of £399 for the Q27G4ZDR and £469 for the higher-refresh Q27G4SDR, AOC is delivering on its promise to make QD-OLED gaming attainable for everyone. The monitors will be available in mid-November 2025, ushering in a new era where top-tier display tech is no longer limited to enthusiasts; it’s ready for every competitive gamer who demands speed, clarity, and unbeatable contrast without breaking the bank.
