AOC has just unveiled its new AGON PRO AG276FK esports gaming monitor, with a 27-inch Fast IPS panel and native 1080p resolution, joined by an insane 520Hz refresh rate with a 0.5ms response time (which isn't bad considering this isn't an OLED panel).

The new AOC AGON PRO AG276FK esports gaming monitor features a 27-inch Fast IPS panel that is bigger than its siblings in the AG246FK and AG256FS, but it has a competitive edge: the delicious 520Hz refresh rate. AOC isn't just sprinkling in the 520Hz refresh rate, but also a 0.5ms GtG response time for lighting-quick gaming.

AOC is also cooking when it comes to reducing ghosting and motion blur, with the introduction of Motion Blur Reduction and MBR Sync technologies that enhance motion clarity, which is a key part for competitive gamers.

There's also the Low Input Lag Mode, which bypasses unnecessary image processing on the AGON PRO AG276FK esports gaming monitor.

By introducing this 520 Hz display alongside our AG246FK and AG256FS models, we're offering esports professionals and enthusiasts a complete range of ultra-high refresh rate options with different sizes, speeds and panel types to match their specific competitive needs".
