I’m far from being a competitive gamer, but using the AOC AGON Pro AG246FK these past two weeks has me dreaming of being in an esports team. Sure, I still have zero technique when darting around as Pharah in Overwatch 2, and I’m probably more like a Grunt than the mighty Master Chief. However, you’d be surprised how much pairing a 540Hz refresh rate with ridiculous frame rates can help you land shots, not to mention it’ll eliminate lag I didn’t even realize was present.
There’s far more to the best gaming monitors than refresh rate, and while the $599 / £599 AOC AGON Pro AG246FK is ridiculously fast, it’s not going to be for everyone. I’m pretty sure most players out there will think that even 360Hz, which is understandable since the 4K monitor scene only just reached 240Hz peak. Even I’m having to chow down on my own words, as I previously said I couldn’t imagine ever needing a 500Hz monitor in my Alienware AW2724HF review. Silly Phil – if only you’d known what ramping things above that figure could do for your FPS game sessions.
