AGON by AOC, one of the world’s leading gaming monitor brands, proudly introduces two groundbreaking monitors set to elevate competitive gaming to unprecedented heights. The AGON PRO AG246FK and AG256FS are designed to meet the demands of professional gamers and aspiring esports athletes, offering unparalleled refresh rates and exceptional image quality.
AGON PRO AG246FK: Redefining speed with 540 Hz
The AGON PRO AG246FK features a cutting-edge, 24.1-inch FHD Ultra-Fast TN esports panel that delivers an extraordinary 540 Hz refresh rate – the highest in the market. This revolutionary speed ensures ultra-smooth gameplay and minimal motion blur, giving esports professionals the competitive edge they demand. With a frame time of just 1.85 ms between individual frames and pixel transition times of up to 0.5 ms GtG, the AG246FK provides near-instantaneous visual updates, allowing players to react faster than ever before.
Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, a seasoned Counter-Strike professional from G2 Esports, shared his experience: “When you’ve been playing Counter-Strike at the highest level for as long as I have, you come to appreciate any minute advantage you can get, and oh boy – 540 Hz at 1.85 ms frame rate and 0.5 ms GtG feels absolutely amazing.”
AGON PRO AG256FS: Balancing speed and colour with 390 Hz
The AGON PRO AG256FS boasts a 24.5-inch FHD Fast IPS panel, combining a 390 Hz refresh rate with superior colour reproduction and wide viewing angles. With an impressive responsiveness of up to 1 ms GtG, this monitor strikes the perfect balance between speed and image quality, making it ideal for competitive gamers who refuse to compromise on visual fidelity. Its 99.1% sRGB gamut coverage and DisplayHDR 400 certification ensure a vibrant and immersive gaming experience.
Esports-ready features
Both monitors feature an MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) mode, which uses strobing backlight technology to achieve an impressive 0.3 ms MPRT, resulting in exceptionally clear motion and reduced blur in fast-paced games. Additionally, both models come equipped with Adaptive-Sync support for variable refresh rates, ensuring tear-free gameplay across a wide range of frame rates. The monitors’ low input lag provides an immediate response to player actions, a critical factor in high-stakes competitive gaming.
Jacobo Ramos González, Interim Head of Global Partnerships at G2 Esports, highlights the importance of high refresh rates in competitive gaming: “In the fast-paced world of Counter-Strike, a high monitor refresh rate ensures flawless visual feedback and minimises lag. This allows our players to react instantly and maintain top-tier gameplay, which is crucial for achieving victory. The AG246FK certainly sets a new standard in this regard.”
Designed for the elite
The ergonomic stand features a sturdy yet compact, thin “esports” base, allowing gamers to position their mouse and keyboard exactly as they prefer, while also enabling tilt, swivel, pivot, and 130 mm height adjustment. This design not only saves desk space but also caters to the specific needs of professional players. The built-in USB hub with 4x USB 3.2 ports offers convenient connectivity options for gaming peripherals. The RGB Light FX feature enables synchronisation with other AOC gear, creating a cohesive and immersive gaming environment. A puck-shaped QuickSwitch controller allows gamers to adjust the OSD settings or monitor presets easily.
César Acosta, Product Manager at AGON by AOC, comments: “With the AG246FK and AG256FS, we’re not just raising the bar – we’re completely redefining it. These monitors represent the pinnacle of gaming display technology, offering refresh rates and image quality that were once thought impossible. We’re proud to provide esports professionals and aspiring competitors with the tools they need to perform at their absolute best.”
