Conclusion
...an attractive display for enthusiasts seeking something a little more upmarket than your typical gamer fare.Fashioned in partnership with Porsche Design, the elegance of the curved AOC Agon PD27 is accentuated with a stainless steel base that brings a touch of motorsport flair to premium gaming hardware.
Such eye-catching implementation deserves a quality panel to boot, and the VA implementation on offer here ticks plenty of the right boxes for the target audience. QHD is a fine fit at 27in, FreeSync at up to 240Hz ensures silky smooth gameplay, and the panel scores favourably in terms of brightness, contrast and out-the-box accuracy.
Every monitor comes with a list of provisos, mind, and the Agon PD27 is no exception. There's no option to VESA mount, the stylised OSD isn't user-friendly, and despite the stylish exterior, bear in mind this is primarily a gaming solution; a 1000R curve takes some getting used to during regular desktop work.
Bottom line: the AOC Agon PD27 is an attractive display for enthusiasts seeking something a little more upmarket than your typical gaming fare.
