AOC Announces the Agon AG352UCG: Ultrawide 35", 3440*1440, 100 Hz and G-Sync
Joining the already considerable plethora of gaming-oriented monitor offers from the company, AOC has recently announced the launch of the Agon AG352UCG. As it happens with AOC's line of monitors, this one also has quite respectable - and dare I say near-perfect specifications.
It is a 35" behemoth of a monitor, though its ultrawide aspect ratio will undoubtedly make it look smaller due to the lower verticality of the display than in other screen formats; packs a 21:9, 3440*1440 AU Optronics VA panel with 100Hz refresh rate (and 4ms response time), as well as G-Sync support to boot. The panel boasts 100% sRGB coverage, and a 2000R curvature ratio.However, brightness stays at a not-so-extraordinary 300 nits, though it does carry a contrast ratio of 2500:1 and 178-degree viewing angles in both directions. The stand includes height, tilt and swivel adjustments, with the rear of the display featuring LED lighting that can be customized to one of three colors (red, blue, or green).
Ports include 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 1x HDMI, a 4x USB 3.0 hub, and a pair of 3.5mm headphone jacks, with the usual 2W speakers being included in the monitor's body. As a housewarming gift, AOC bundles with the monitor a fold-out stand for your headphones, and there's a handle on the stand in case you want to transport the Agon to a LAN party.
You'll be able to purchase the Agon AG352UCG in March for £799, or about $984, though with pricing in the US being usually much lower than in any EU country, you can expect it to retail for less.
