Today we're back with another QD-OLED review as we check out the AOC Agon Pro AG276UZD. Offering the same 4th Gen 4K/240Hz QD-OLED panel as the MSI MPG 272URX we reviewed recently, this screen promises high pixel density thanks to the 27in diagonal, 1000 nits of brightness in HDR, alongside other OLED benefits such as the near-instant response times and infinite contrast. Retailing for £700, we put this monitor through its paces and see what it can do.

Pricing is a particularly interesting area for the AOC AG276UZD, given the OLED monitor space is starting to get fiercely competitive. The aforementioned MSI MPG 272URX, for instance, officially has a £999 MSRP, but has already been on sale multiple times in the last two months, and is currently listed for just £700. That means AOC will certainly have its work cut out to impress given how much we liked MSI's offering, but we will save judgement until we have put the monitor through our full test suite.
