The AOC AGON AG273QXP has a familiar, clean and modern design, as we are familiar with other AGON series models when viewed from the front.

The model has a circular RGB area on the back, such as the AGON AG273QX monitor that we examined earlier, and the presence of display shields is also a great addition. These shields are used to adjust image calibration and can be fitted to prevent reflections, thereby ensuring visibility, especially during the daytime game. It’s an extremely well-thought-out trait. On the other hand, once you put the shields on, we doubt you’ll want to remove them, because it has a focus-enhancing feature, which allows you to be completely alone with the screen, day or night.

On the other hand, headphone straps are also included in the monitor, another feature that gamers are looking for on the monitor. You can also use these straps placed on both the right and left sides to hang your headphones.

When you look at the monitor from the front, you think it has a very measured design. There’s a red AGON logo at the bottom of the screen with thin edge bezels, while the joystick is illuminated, where you can control menu commands at the edge of the screen. Speaking of lighting, the RGB circle on the back of the monitor also provides a beautiful image, especially in dark environment. Called Light FX, you can control these lightings and choose the color you want, and sync with them if you have accessories like the AOC keyboard and mouse you use.

Well, now to the capabilities of this monitor at the viewing point. The AOC AG273QXP features a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. 27-inch 1440p monitors are the most reasonable choice for achieving high frame rates, while this model stands out for having a refresh rate of 170Hz. On the other hand, it is possible to say that having a 1ms response time welcomes a tremendous performance.

The monitor’s panel is designed to lead to this. In classic IPS panels, the response time is usually between 9 and 25 ms, which is 1ms in this model..

Because the screen uses LGnin Nano IPS technology. This reduces the monitor’s response time from gray to gray by up to 1ms, which is a tremendous score. On the other hand, you can notice the difference compared to a standard IPS display not only in response time, but also in the image. With Nano IPS, AOC AG273QXP has a color scale that covers 97 percent of the DCI-P3 color space, 98 percent of the AdobeRGB color space, and 133 percent of the sRGB, thus providing a much better image than a traditional IPS display with both response times and image quality.

We can say that AOC AG273QXP is perfect for overall picture quality. As soon as you take it out of the box, you can get it back without making any special adjustments. Of course, 6 different game modes are offered on the monitor according to your preference. In addition to FPS, Racing, RTS, Game1 and Game2 ready modes, you can also choose one of the settings that you can save ideally for yourself. So when you watch or work with the game genre or the genre of the movie, your mond is ready.

The monitor’s brightness level is measured in about 380 candelas in the default mode, which is extremely good for the brightest rooms. Moreover, the technical characteristics of the product say that its brightness is 400 candelas; In this sense, we can say that it meets this with the result we have received. Moreover, when you play a little in the settings, you can reach the brightness levels of 430 candela. While the contrast ratio of the monitor is 1000:1, let’s also say that it is HDR400 certified. At this point we tried Battlefield Vi, famous for its good HDR app, and when we activated HDR we were able to achieve a sharp improvement in color vividness.

The AOC AG273QXP is a gaming monitor, although it’s a monitor you’ll love to use when working in or across the street. Therefore, freesync premium and G-Sync compatibility is not forgotten on the monitor. Thus, those who have video cards of both brands can benefit from video card and monitor synchronization. When you connect from the 2 HDMI 2.0 ports on the monitor, you can speed up to 144Hz, while when you connect through DisplayPort 1.4 ports, you can reach up to 170Hz. Such high speeds, of course, benefit enough to win over fast games like Valorant and Apex Legends.

With its features, the AOC AG273QXP is the kind of monitor that gamers will love. Players will get very satisfactory results from this model in terms of performance and image quality. On the other hand, it is also for daily use and non-gaming entertainment.
