The viewing angles hold up pretty well at 170 degrees, though they fall slightly short of other, more expensive offerings. Likewise, its OLED design offers a near-infinite contrast ratio and an impressive 0.03ms GTG response time. However, per our extensive testing, it does underperform in the HDR brightness department, which we suggest you go over if you plan on purchasing this monitor.

Regarding connectivity, the AOC Agon Pro 27-inch features two HDMI 1.4 ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, two USB Type-A 3.2 ports, one USB Type-B port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. As of this writing, the AOC Agon Pro is the most inexpensive OLED monitor at Amazon, making it an absolute steal if you're in the market for an upgrade.

Head to the official Amazon page to snag this monitor before inventory runs out.

    This is a particular bug bear of mine! QLED/Mini Led is better than OLED (for the most part) in terms of brightness. HDR10 implies a maximum brightness of 1000nits. 250nits is pants, even for entry level IPS panels.

    This doesn't mean what you think it does with regards to HDR. This display can reach up to 1000 nits at 3% screen area and 450 nits at 10%. OLED displays due to their nature do not have high full screen brightness so from that aspect will always be beaten by prior technologies.

    Oh, that's interesting. I've seen this kinda thing in reviews, and admittedly didn't really try understand it in any great detail. But looking into it, I see how it works now.

    So, for example if there is a scene in a movie, where lets say there is a single bright bulb in a room - that bright thing (light) may only occupy 3% (or whatever precent) of the screen space and so the screen could give that bright spot the full 1000nits or whatever, and then it's a descending scale, based on the size/proportion of the screen that the bright part occupies. Is that it?

    Yeah that's pretty much it. The metadata within the source dictates how everything should be lit up.

    When I got a TV with proper HDR it was a bit jarring at first when my room was dark because when direct light sources were on the screen in a relatively dark scene it would light up my room.
