AOC Announces the AGON AG251FZ 25-inch 240Hz FreeSync Monitor
AOC's AGON line of PC monitors has been increasingly added to by the company - which usually signifies strong sales and brand recognition. In trying to cater to an even more diverse consumer base, AOC has now added a new offer to their AGON line of gaming monitors: the AG251FZ.
The AG251FZ 25" is a 16:9 ratio monitor, which comes in at the still-dominating 1920*1080 resolution, sporting a TN-type panel with a 1ms Grey-to-grey response time which allows it achieve a 240Hz refresh rate. The panel offers 16.7 million colors, brightness of 400cd/m2, contrast ratio of 1000:1, and pretty decent viewing angles of 170/160. On top of that, the monitor also includes AMD's royalty-free FreeSync (active from 48Hz towards the 240Hz maximum refresh rate), with 1x HDMI 2.0 and 1x DisplayPort 1.2a adaptive sync compatible inputs, as well as more legacy 1x DVI and 1x VGA inputs. The monitor also features a connectivity hub, sporting 4 x USB 3.0, Audio out/in, and Microphone in/out ports.
The AOC AGON AG251FZ comes with a 130mm height-adjustable 'Ergo Dial' ergonomic stand which can also tilt (-3.5/21.5 degrees), swivel (-10/20 degrees), or pivot to portrait orientation. Alternatively the monitor can be fitted to a 100 x 100 VESA mount. For portability (and that LAN party trekking, if you're into such things), the AGON AG251FZ also includes a carrying handle.
This panel will release in January 2017 for £449 (around $560 directly converting the currencies, but I trust American customers can count on a lower price).

Even if I could wall mount it I'm still not sure I'd do that since if you want to re-arrange the desk a bit you have a problem with your fixed monitor.
It's quite easy to install actually.
P4-630 having your desk positioned like that, ya no wall mount. Some desks come with back brackets to mount screens. But may not look nice In your case.
And the price is too high, why would anyone buy a 25" 1080p TN 240Hz monitor when you can get 27" 1440p IPS 144Hz monitor for less.
Living in an apartment, i use desk mounts. Still miles better than normal stands.
Anyway, would be nice to try a 240hz monitor.
Wouldn't this Acer XG270HU 27" WQHD Edge-to-Edge Frameless 1ms Adaptive-Sync (Free Sync) 144Hz, HDMI DisplayPort Monitor that Newegg has for $350 after $30 off w/code EMCFFGG27, (ends 11/28). I'd rather have the resolution than some theoretical "maximum" refresh rate, wouldn't more dependent on the Game and card ability to generate.
And I'd much rather have VESA mounting holes than some fancy stand, as yea I'm more about getting that big of panel securely fasten in So Cal, but even more so if I lived in really earthquake prone place like North Oklahoma.
