COMPETITIVE SPEED ON A HUGE SCREEN, AGON BY AOC LAUNCHES

LARGE 32” GAMING MONITOR

AG325QZN/EU

WITH 240 HZ, UP TO 1 MS GTG AND HDR

AGON by AOC – one of the world’s leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands – announces the next model from the AGON gaming monitor series. The 32” (80 cm) AGON AG325QZN/EU features a fast VA panel, which can run at a dazzling 240Hz refresh rate. With an impressive 3000:1 contrast ratio, deep blacks, rich colours and a DisplayHDR 400 certification, the AG325QZN/EU delivers jaw- dropping visuals, and its fast responsiveness with up to 1ms GtG response time and 0.5ms MPRT shows that it is built for competitive titles. Thanks to its imposing size, the AG325QZN/EU suits a wide range of use cases, from large gaming stations to couch-gaming or dedicated simulator setups.

THE LARGER, THE BETTER

While FPS esports players prefer smallersized displays (27″ or even 24″) to better focus on all the action happening at once, esports and competitive gaming cover a variety of genres, where a 32″ display size can make more sense. Action/RPG titles, fighting games, real-time and turn-based strategy games, or simulation games, all benefit from a larger display size to better display intricate details and/or immerse the player in the action itself.

A 32″ display such as the AG325QZN/ EU offers more screen real estate whilst keeping the common 16:9 aspect ratio, making the adjustment easy for players. The AG325QZN/EU features a QHD resolution (2560x1440), which is the sweet spot for rich details and high framerates. Compared to 4K, for example, modern GPUs can achieve 240 fps on a QHD resolution much easier in many titles, allowing gamers to take advantage of the high refresh rates from day one. And thanks to the high refresh rate and high-resolution combination, the AG325QZN/EU is a future-proof gaming display which can serve gamers for years on end.

FAST ACTION, FAST RESPONSE

The AG325QZN/EU employs a panel, offering fast pixel transition times (up to 1 ms GtG) and low pixel persistence (0.5 ms MPRT), with different overdrive levels to choose from, so gamers can finetune the responsiveness of the monitor to their taste to achieve a ghosting-free experience. Adaptive-Sync support ensures tear-free and stutter-free gaming on both platforms. Whereas on a monitor, the user will see a new frame every 16ms, this is reduced to just 4ms on a 240Hz refresh rate monitor. With just a short time between frames, gamers will feel more connected to the game –enabling them to react quicker to their opponents’ actions and ultimately win the competition.

Versatile And Flexible

Outside of gaming hours, the large 32″ display size makes the monitor a beast for productivity in day-to-day tasks. The large screen area allows users to open and work on multiple application windows simultaneously. Thanks to the VESA Display HDR 400 certification, the AG325QZN/EU renders HDR content in videos and games. And with a peak brightness of 400 nits and wide viewing angles (178/178°), the monitor is also suitable for use in bright indoor settings. A 4-port USB 3.2 hub and an upstream USB port to the PC are also included, allowing users to connect peripherals directly to the monitor, reducing clutter. Just like other AGON 5 models, the AG325QZN/EU features a sleek, angular design with very thin bezels and a sturdy metal stand. The ergonomic stand with tilt (-5/23°) height (150 mm), swivel adjustments and orientation allows comfortable usage for any user and any occasion.

Evnia, a new range of Philips monitors and accessories to reinvent the rules of gaming.

The gaming industry has come a long way. From its simple, two-dimensional debut in the 1970s and 80s, gaming has kept pace with the rapid evolution of digital technology, rising to become not just a form of entertainment but a truly immersive sensorial experience with uniquely powerful appeals. Increasingly, modern gamers expect a brand that reflects the diversity of their tastes and desires while their identities are embraced, which is what led us to Evnia.

The word Evnia (Greek: Εύνοια) consists of eu (good) and nous (mind), which literally means “well mind” and “smart thinking”. Evnia is used as a word to show interest to support and protect someone or something. It’s often used in the context of luck. Everyone can be a gamer, and Evnia, true to the name, supports the joy of gaming for all.

One Voice For All

The definition of a typical gamer is more diverse than ever – however, the stereotype that gaming is only for teenagers is still the norm. The need for a welcoming community required a brand that could embrace every gamer, making them feel truly part of the group. Starting from its unique design, Evnia differentiates from the crowd of speconly-driven aggressive models, bringing back the joy and fun of gaming, keeping emotional benefits at the core.

The Evnia range reflects its mantra: “Reinvent the rules”. Far from the known gaming stereotype, Evnia adds freshness, premium and elegance to the mixture. From product lines to Ambiglow lights, it prioritises emotional benefits as well as technical advantages. The sophisticated design fits every environment, being a perfect addition to the furnishing of a casual gamer lounge or a proper PC gaming set-up.
