AOC Announces the AG241 Series Fast WQHD Monitors

AOC late last week unveiled the AG241 line of 24-inch monitors featuring high refresh-rates, and WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolutions, under its AGON brand targeted at PC gamers. The series includes two models, the AG241QG and the AG241QX. Both displays feature 23.8-inch TN-film LCD panels by AU Optronics, and are visually similar for the most part, except two key features. The AG241QG offers up to 165 Hz refresh-rates and supports NVIDIA G-SYNC technology; while the AG241QX offers refresh-rates of up to 144 Hz, and supports AMD FreeSync technology.

Both models offer viewing angles of up to 170°/160° (H/V), 1 ms response time (GTG), 1000:1 static contrast ratios, a rheostat-based WLED illumination (flicker-free), active blue-light reduction, and matte anti-glare screen surfaces. Gamer-specific features such as display presets that are specific to gameplay type (genre-specific), a retractable headset hook on the side, VESA wall-mount, and a 4-port USB 3.0 hub. Both monitors take input from DisplayPort 1.2/1.2a and HDMI connectors. Available from November, the AG241QG is expected to be priced at £519, and the AG241QX at £389.

Haha 130 pounds premium for Gsync... wow just wow.
And people wonder why there are more and more Freesync screens released compared to G. I can easily see nV proprietary crap dying by the end of next year. Unless AMD screws up Vega/Zen.

Well IMHO, the gsync one support 19hz more hz so i think its gonna be the better monitor from the two.
And it will make the premium price worth it.

like other panels with refresh rate higher than 144hz, 165hz will be available as overclocking setting without warranty to be used at own peril. Its probably the same panel for both monitors with nvidiot tax of 130£ for gsync version.

Heyyo , hmm 19Hz for 130£? That's 6.8£ per 1Hz... Which is a silly price to pay when many tech enthusiasts can't even tell the difference between 120Hz and 144Hz... So I bet the difference between 144Hz and 165Hz will be even more negligible . . .

Where did you go to school and learn math? 144 + 19 = 163 .....

I would guess you were in the same math class as Chinmi was.

Its also the VRR worked as advertised from day 1 instead of taking almost 2 years to get where its claimed but still isn't completely there yet. Can't dispute the facts so attack the person posting it is what will come of this.

A shame this isn't a 27" panel.
G-sync continues it's funder's edition price premium.
