OLED monitors once commanded obscenely high prices but the cost of these displays has thankfully tumbled to more affordable territory in recent years. Despite this fall from predominantly four figures to three, these panels are still offer some of the most premium viewing experiences you can hope to get from a display. With this in mind, those in search of a new screen for their setup would do well to consider Agon Pro AG276QZD following its most-recent discount.

Over on Amazon UK, Agon Pro AG276QZD is down 14% (£70.98) making it just £448.97 to buy. This marks a return of its lowest ever price in the region, following stints in September and November 2024. While this particular model isn’t available in the US, its QD-OLED successor (AG276QZD2) is and with a 15% ($84.96) discount to boot.
Getting down to brass tacks, Agon Pro AG276QZD packs a 27in OLED panel with a native resolution of 2560×1440 and refresh rate of 240Hz. This is an ideal selection of specifications that gives the monitor a welcome degree of versatility to service competitive and narrative gamers alike.
Focussing on image quality foremostly, AOC claims Agon Pro AG276QZD covers 98.5% of the DCI-P3 colour space. This is impressive in of itself, but you can rest assured that its wide gamut will produce accurate colours too thanks to the factory calibration of each unit. Combine this with OLED’s inky blacks that offer contrast like no other technology and you have a rich and punchy SDR and HDR viewing experience to enjoy.
In terms of responsiveness, Agon Pro AG276QZD joins other OLED monitors in offering lightning-fast response times around 0.03ms. In tandem with its 240Hz refresh rate, this is a fantastically responsive display that’s more than suitable for high frame-rate gaming in single-player and esports titles. Your ability to hit such lofty performance targets will depend on your hardware, but given a few tweaks your system may surprise you with how high it can fly.
The only major caveat that comes with owning any OLED display, including Agon Pro AG276QZD, is the risk of burn-in. AOC includes several features to help mitigate any problems but it can’t outright eliminate them and it’s ultimately up to you to look after your display. Thankfully this isn’t a huge ask and simple changes like hiding your taskbar and employing a dynamic (rather than static) screensaver help tremendously.
