AGON is an ancient Greek word for competition and battle and that’s exactly what AOC’s premium series was designed for: the challenging video gaming experience. Especially in the eSports sector, for streamers or hardcore gamers, the hardware has to be right down to the smallest detail and that’s exactly what the AGON models are designed for.

A refresh rate of 144 Hz, as well as a response time of 1 ms, FreeSync and compatible G-Sync make the Premium series an excellent range of models that deliver very good performance even in high-resolution and fast-paced games. Compared to the G1 and G2 series, the 24-inch model already comes with a QHD resolution and thus delivers detailed and sharp images at a compact size.
