Update: It would seem reservations regarding the monitor's conservative resolution were right in the money. New details have come to light in that this monitor from AOC apparently supports two display modes: a 1440p, 144 Hz presentation, favoring resolution and graphics quality, or the aforementioned 1080p 240 Hz. This is interesting, offering a solution for gamers who play both competitive shooters and eye-candy-filled games, opting for blazing fast refresh rates or a higher resolution. It remains to be seen whether graphics quality takes a bigger hit than is solely limited to the decreased resolution: using a monitor ona non-native resolution decreases graphical quality, sometimes noticeably so. Still, this is a flexible solution, and I wouldn't be surprised to see users choosing this solution exactly because of the two different modes of operation.

AOC has added a new monitor to its line-up, which seems to be especially geared towards competitive gamers in twitch-shooters. Its astonishing 240 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, and G-SYNC support are its greatest selling points, I would wager, though I bid you good luck in running most modern games at such frame-rates. To achieve this kind of screen refresh rates, AOC had to compromise in other areas, though: the AG251FG's 1080p resolution seems somewhat limited, as does the usage of a TN panel.Connectivity-wise, we're looking at the usual 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, 4x USB 3.0, Audio out and microphone in/out. The AGON AG251FG also features NVIDIA's ULMB mode and AOC's Flicker Free and Low Blue Light technologies. It features AOC's Ergo Dial Base, which allows for tilt, swivel and height adjustments, and also includes a retractable headset holder and a carrying handle for your LAN parties craze. The AOC AGON AG251FG is expected to be available in August 2017, for a bold £519 MSRP (around $673). This seems a tad excessive for a 1080p TN screen, wouldn't you agree? Or do you find the G-SYNC and ludicrous 240 Hz justify such a price-tag?
