Neal chose... AGON PRO The AGON PRO AGP277QKDC . The first monitor in AOC’s new AGON 7 line and the first to pair Dual Frame Mode with a fourth-generation Tandem WOLED panel: 540Hz native at QHD, or 720Hz dropping to HD. 0.03 ms GtG, 1.5 million:1 contrast, 1,500 nits peak, DisplayPort 2.1, USB-C and a KVM for the streaming rig. It arrives in September, which is exactly when this customer starts saving for Black Friday. Reseller note: Not every competitive player has that budget. The Q27G4SDR brings a 360Hz QD-OLED into the G4 series at a mainstream price, and the AG276QZD2 and Q27G4ZD remain the volume QHD QD-OLED options for the club-level player.

Crucially, it carries DisplayPort 2.1 at full UHBR20 bandwidth, plus USB-C with 65W power delivery and a built-in KVM. Around £799. This customer doesn’t need persuading; he needs you to know the spec as well as he does. Reseller note: The dual-mode and overclock headlines are what he'll ask about, but bandwidth is what he’ll buy on. The AGON PRO AG276QKD2 with its 27-inch QHD QD-OLED at 500Hz
He is unimpressed by round numbers. Budget is not the constraint, being sold to is. “ ”
over DP 2.1 UHBR20 is the same argument in a faster package.
CHALLENGE No.5 A 22-year-old ranked in the top
percentile of a tactical shooter. He has a 9800X3D and a 5090. He measures input latency. Refresh rate is not a feature to him, it is the product, and he will read the panel generation before he reads the price.
