PRODUCT LAUNCH AGON PRO AG326UZD2

Built for creators and cinephiles The AG326UZD2's 10-bit panel displays 1.07 billion colours across a wide colour gamut: 99.7% DCI-P3, 140.7% sRGB and 96.9% Adobe RGB. Whether editing photos, grading video or simply watching films, the colour accuracy and volume on offer here are on par with dedicated professional monitors, while delivering the speed and responsiveness gamers expect. The new AntiReflection 3.0 coating reduces distracting reflections without the haze typically associated with matte finishes, preserving the vivid, punchy image quality that QD-OLED panels are known for. This makes the AG326UZD2 equally suited for bright living rooms and dedicated dark gaming corners. “As a gamer, it’s incredible to witness the evolution of OLED into this new generation,” says César Reyes Acosta, gaming product manager at AGON by AOC. “With 4K at 240Hz, DisplayHDR True Black 500 and improved Anti- Reflection 3.0, the experience is sharper, brighter and more immersive than ever. Add in HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 and USB-C with KVM, and you have a truly exceptional monitor built for everything,”

and a USB-B upstream connection, while a built-in KVM switch and Multiview (PbP/ PiP) functionality allow users to control and display two sources simultaneously: a practical feature for streamers with a second PC, or professionals juggling a work laptop and a gaming PC. Esports-ready design and ergonomics The AG326UZD2 features the AGON PRO esports base: a low-profile, compact and sturdy stand designed to accommodate various keyboard and mouse placements preferred by competitive players. Full ergonomic adjustability is on board: 150mm height adjustment, tilt (-5°/+23°), swivel (±16°) and pivot (90° portrait), plus 100x100 VESA mount compatibility. Built-in 8 W x 2 speakers round out the multimedia package for casual use. AOC's G-Menu software and on- screen gaming features, including a Frame Counter, customisable Dynamic Dial Point crosshair and multiple Game Modes give players granular control over their experience. As with all AGON PRO OLED monitors, the AG326UZD2 comes with a three-year warranty covering OLED burn-in, ensuring long-term confidence in the investment. n
