The AGON GAMING C27G2Z3/BK is AOC's latest entry-level gaming monitor. Despite retailing for under £200 in the UK and €250 in the EU, the AGON GAMING C27G2Z3/BK offers VRR support, a 280 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms response times.

AOC has introduced plenty of new monitors of late, including the AGON GAMING 27G2ZN3/BK. Now, it has offered up the AGON GAMING C27G2Z3/BK, which packs a high refresh rate, given its price. Specifically, the AGON GAMING C27G2Z3/BK outputs at 280 Hz but can drop as low as 48 Hz using Adaptive Sync (VRR) to mitigate image tearing.

Moreover, the monitor supports 0.5 ms MPRT response times while running natively at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Also, AOC's decision to include a VA panel allows the AGON GAMING C27G2Z3/BK to deliver 300 nits peak brightness and a 4,000:1 contrast ratio. Additionally, AOC claims that the 27-inch monitor covers 92.4% and 124.2% of the DCI-P3 and sRGB colour spaces, respectively.

Furthermore, the monitor has a 1500R curvature, a matte finish and various gaming features like a crosshair and an FPS counter. On top of that, AOC has equipped the monitor with one DisplayPort 1.4 connection and a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports, cables for which it includes in the box. Likewise, the company ships all AGON GAMING C27G2Z3/BK orders with a height-adjustable stand (130 mm), which also contains a cut-out for cable management purposes. The AGON GAMING C27G2Z3/BK will be available later this month for £199 in the UK and €249 in the Eurozone with three years warranty in both markets. Please see AOC's product page for more details.
