The AOC Agon Pro AG326UD gaming monitor has finally made its way across the Atlantic to the US after debuting in Europe and the UK over the past few months. Though priced a bit higher stateside—before taxes—it’s armed with several features aimed at delivering an exceptional gaming experience.
The Agon Pro AG326UD packs a punch with a 32-inch Gen 3 QD-OLED panel courtesy of Samsung Display, boasting a sharp 4K resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. While its refresh rate is 165 Hz, slightly lower than some monitors in its class, including the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G80SD’s vibrant 240 Hz, it compensates with other impressive specifications.
The quick response time of only 0.03 ms GtG ensures smooth and fluid transitions, which should please gamers looking for that competitive edge. This monitor also has the VESA ClearMR 9000 and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certifications, enhancing its color accuracy and contrast levels.
The array of connectivity options includes a 3.5 mm jack, two 8 W speakers, one DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B port, offering versatility for any gaming setup. AOC has also integrated an ergonomic stand and accommodates a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount for those who prefer using different stands.
Moreover, AOC is ensuring peace of mind with a four-year warranty, highlighted by a ‘zero dead pixel guarantee’ throughout the warranty period. Plus, buyers are assured a year of accidental damage protection covering one incident per monitor.
For US-based gamers, the Agon Pro AG326UD is available for purchase at Microcenter, priced at $799.99. This price tag is roughly $50 more than its European counterparts due to currency exchange rates. Nevertheless, the features it offers make a compelling case for serious gamers considering an upgrade.
