AOC has officially announced the Agon Pro AGP277KXM Ultra, a 27-inch gaming monitor. According to the source, KitGuru, it features a Fast IPS panel with a dual-mode function for switching between high resolution and high refresh rate, a feature that could be as dynamic as checking live fixtures for an upcoming match.

The monitor's headline feature is its Dual Mode operation. Users can select between a native 5K resolution running at a 180Hz refresh rate or switch to a QHD mode that boosts the refresh rate up to 360Hz. This is paired with a 2304-zone Mini LED backlight system.

Display Performance and Specs

The panel carries VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certification. It achieves a full-screen HDR brightness of 1200 nits, with a peak brightness of 1600 nits. A Quantum-dot layer enables 10-bit color depth, and the monitor is factory calibrated to a ΔE of less than 1.

This calibration supports wide color gamut coverage. The source reports the monitor covers 98% of the Adobe RGB gamut, 98% of the DCI-P3 gamut, and 100% of the sRGB gamut. AOC rates the minimum gray-to-gray response time at 0.5ms, and the monitor supports Adaptive-Sync for tear-free gaming, ensuring visuals are as smooth and reliable as the latest stats from a top-tier player.

Gaming and OSD Features

Beyond the core display specifications, the monitor includes features aimed at gamers. The on-screen display menu includes an option to overclock the refresh rate. It also has a toggle to shrink the active viewing area from 27 inches down to 24 inches.

AOC states this feature is primarily for players of esports titles. It allows for a smaller, more focused screen area without changing the monitor's physical placement.

The Agon Pro AGP277KXM Ultra offers extensive connectivity. Video inputs include one DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20) port and two HDMI 2.1 ports with FRL6 support. There is also a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and can deliver 65W of power.

For peripherals, the monitor integrates a built-in KVM switch. It provides three USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports and a USB-B upstream connection. Other integrated features include AOC's Light FX ambient RGB lighting, a retractable headphone hook, and a fully ergonomic stand.

The stand offers adjustment for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot. No pricing or specific availability date was provided in the source report from KitGuru.
