It seems to be more suitable for multimedia and gaming than it might be for office and general use as a result of this limited backlight adjustment range at the bottom end. Together with local dimming technology,which means that the backlight of the monitor will bright differently depending on the requirements that every picture displayed on the screen needs. With the AGON LED Projection you can now shine a light on your gaming achievements and give your gaming setup a unique style, with 2 projectable icons and RGB adjustments.

Performance is measured and evaluated with a high degree of accuracy using a range of testing devices and software. If you push up to the maximum strong mode at 170Hz you start to see a small amount of pale haloing creep in but it’s quite slight at this max refresh rate. There’s also calibration of luminance uniformity in this mode, but there’s no mention of what gamma or colour temperature targets have been selected. We first want to measure the accuracy of the default out-of-the-box setup relative to typical sRGB content, while also examining the screen’s suitability and accuracy for common wider colour gamut spaces such as DCI-P3, or for Adobe RGB which is used in the professional and photography markets quite often. This is actually in quite a tricky place to reach, being tucked quite a long way behind the screen and not easy to use as a result.Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised actually, as the screen is capable of supporting 700 nits in even normal SDR mode!

As AOC like to promote, their new AGON Pro AG344UXM monitor is the World’s first 21:9 aspect ratio Mini LED monitor, designed to offer significantly improved HDR capabilities and performance in the LCD monitor market. The stand is pretty deep so make sure you have a suitably deep desk, and the screen can get quite warm at the top we found, especially if you run at higher brightness levels and in HDR content where the Mini LED backlight is being utilised a lot. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. Thanks to the implemented Mini-LED technology,this model combines the highest brightness,finest picture quality and best uniformity while still being slimmer than monitors with conventional LED.HDR gaming is obviously a key area of interest and the screen offers excellent performance in that area.
