About this deal

The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. In the Standard Eco mode with Game Mode turned off, we engaged the User color temp and made slight changes to the RGB sliders. Gamma was left on the first preset, which is a tad dark at an average value of 2.3. The other two options washed out the picture, so we avoided them. A pixel response time of 1ms means speed without the smear for an enhanced experience. Fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the effects of ghosting. Moving on, the AOC AGON AG493UCX2 has five response time overdrive modes: Off, Weak, Medium, Strong and Boost. As with the old model, the AG493UCX2 is excellent when used with DisplayPort, but there are too many limitations if that is not going to be your primary display connection.

Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely. The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. Although the results on paper aren’t as high as other displays we’ve tested, I was still impressed with the vibrancy of colour, especially at lower brightness levels. Scanning Frequency DP1.4 : 5120x1440@60Hz (FRC) HDMI2.0/USB-C : 3840x1080@60Hz (FRC) 2560x1440@60Hz (FRC)

Given the issues I had with HDMI-connected consoles, I’d have preferred they kept two DisplayPorts and two HDMIs, though in reality users are more likely to have additional devices with HDMI outputs rather than a second desktop with DP.

As such, this display is not suited to competitive gaming where fast response is key, and if you’re particularly sensitive to ghosting this probably isn’t the display for you. I thoroughly enjoyed playing racing games and sims on this monitor, though, and scenic AAA games were an absolute delight. I would highly recommend you carefully consider the kind of games you are interested in playing if you’re considering purchasing this monitor. Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality.The curve is really well done. I also have the AOC CU34G2X 34" and they feel very similar and that is a solid monitor. The stand comes fully assembled, but rather than just clipping into the panel there are four screws to secure it in place. On our review sample, the holes didn’t line up properly, so I had to screw them in at a slight angle. As they tightened they pulled into line, but it’s a rare bit of sub-par build quality that I don’t expect from AOC. The misaligned screw holes are the only negative I can attribute to the build, though. Everything else is pristinely manufactured, with close-fitting panels and a reassuring heft that feels distinctly premium. This monitor spec says it only support the higher 5120x1440@60Hz res using DisplayPort and cable has to support 8K which the one out of the box does. That last one needs a bit of elaborating on: I have my setup configured to have my personal machine on DVI 1 and my work machine on DVI 2. My personal machine has a USB C port (no display over it) while my work computer does not. So I hooked up the standard USB A connector to my work machine and the USB C one to my personal machine. Even the lowest level of High Dynamic Range (HDR) feature poses a significant upgrade to common monitors. The peak luminance of 400 cd/m² enables your display to hone the picture quality with a manifold colour spectrum and more diverse contrast. The VESA-certificate ensures richness of detail and realistic portrayals of game and film worlds.
