Recently, the gaming market received a heavyweight monitor, the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC, an OLED monitor with a lot to offer to meet the demands of the most exacting users.
With a bright panel, a generous size, and many appealing internal features, the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC becomes a highly attractive gaming monitor for those looking for a screen that ticks all the boxes for professionals in the gaming world.
General features of the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC
The AGON PRO AGP277QKDC arrives in a highly illustrated box that stands out from many others found on store shelves.
Upon opening the box, we find the product which, at first glance, seems like just another monitor, but we soon realize it goes beyond a simple gaming screen.
At 27 inches (26.5″ to be precise), we have a fairly generous screen size that doesn’t feel too big in almost any setup. The 4th generation Tandem WOLED panel, which uses stacked layers to improve luminous efficiency and durability, featuring Quad HD quality and a maximum refresh rate of 720 Hz, is a pleasant surprise for the eyes.
In terms of response time, we are talking about a monitor with 0.03 ms that also offers a 178º horizontal and vertical viewing angle, so we can rest easy regarding where we install the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC.
Regarding brightness, we have a maximum value of 1500 nits which, if the anti-glare finish isn’t enough to bypass ambient lighting, will get the job done and offer a sharp image in any scenario.
As for inputs, we get 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, 1 DisplayPort 2.1, and a USB-C connection capable of delivering 65W of power and data transfer through a single cable.
In terms of design, it features a practically borderless screen on all 4 sides, giving the entire monitor a more elegant look and allowing for greater immersion for gamers. On the back, there is Light FX RGB lighting that fills the wall with color emitted directly from the monitor.
The stand, with a symmetrical base, allows for height adjustment up to 150 mm and also lets you tilt the screen up or down, in addition to allowing a 90º rotation. Furthermore, it features a built-in headset hook as well as a cable management system.
The AGON PRO AGP277QKDC can be purchased for an MSRP of €899.
Design, elegance, and image quality
One of the first things we said as soon as we set up the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC was “beautiful”. And, indeed, it is a very beautiful and elegant monitor that fits perfectly anywhere and in any setup.
The simple assembly helps us get the final result ready in just a few minutes, requiring only snapping two or three pieces together and then plugging in the cable, always ensuring we hear the “click” for each secure fit.
The frameless screen provides a more modern look and offers greater immersion in any scenario, whether gaming, working, or just watching a video.
The adjustment provided by the stand is more than ideal to suit all users, and the rotation up to 90º allows the monitor to be used vertically, which can be very handy for certain tasks. This way, a gaming monitor easily transforms into a work monitor without looking out of place, making it perfect as a two-in-one depending on the user’s needs.
This is also due to the inclusion of a KVM switch, allowing you to control two machines with just one keyboard and mouse. Moreover, it also has a USB-C port that can deliver video, data, and even charge a device at 65W.
The image offered by the 27-inch OLED panel is very well executed, with highly accurate colors and excellent brightness that, in certain scenarios, we need to tone down a bit due to the closer viewing distance and potential eye strain.
Above-average performance
Right from the start, the 540 Hz of the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC with a QHD resolution already makes this monitor stand out; however, it’s possible to go even further.
The ability to reach 720 Hz at HD resolution, combined with a response time of just 0.03 ms, makes motion blur almost impossible, something crucial during the most intense moments for many gamers.
This point is one of the brand’s major highlights, as it is a less common feature in this type of equipment, elevating the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC to a premium tier.
A warranty that covers OLED panel burn-in
If there is one thing brands never want to assume in the factory warranties of devices with OLED panels, it’s coverage for the well-known burn-in effect that can occur on these types of screens.
However, the brand decided to go against the grain with the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC warranty and includes this potential issue in the monitor’s legal warranty.
In this way, the company aims to convey even more confidence to the customer who, even if worried about this possibility, knows that repairing this issue is covered by the warranty, which does not happen with most brands offering similar equipment.
With everything that characterizes the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC, there is no doubt that it is a premium monitor.
We are talking about a screen with a 4th generation Tandem WOLED panel, with a brightness that can reach 1500 nits (which forces us to lower the brightness in certain scenarios), all integrated into an elegant body with almost no bezels on its 4 sides.
On the back, there is RGB lighting that creates effects on the wall around the monitor, in addition to a very versatile and practical set of ports.
The AGON PRO AGP277QKDC allows you to control two machines at the same time and also features a USB-C port that can charge a device at 65W while transferring data, all with a single cable.
The monitor’s stand itself allows for greater versatility and user comfort, with a good height, tilt, and even 90º rotation adjustment.
When using the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC on a daily basis, we can count on full versatility for any task, and the image quality never fails. When switching to a more entertainment-focused use, especially for gaming—the target market of this equipment—we can really notice its standout features.
In addition to the image quality and bright, appealing colors, we get a 540Hz refresh rate at QHD quality that offers an extremely fluid experience when needed. If we require a little more fluidity for the most important and tense moments, the monitor can reach a 720Hz refresh rate which, together with the 0.03 ms response time, prevents any kind of image trailing.
With everything combined in a single monitor, the AGON PRO AGP277QKDC undeniably places itself in the premium range and offers capabilities that satisfy the most demanding users, without leaving out any key point.
The AGON PRO AGP277QKDC can be purchased for an MSRP of €899.
