Superior performance in an ultrawide format
With its flat ultra-wide IPS panel, the AG405UXC is designed for gamers who prioritise high-speed performance and superior visual quality on a large display size. This monitor offers a 144 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms MPRT response time, ensuring a high-speed gaming experience with fast-paced games.
The imposing size and ultra-wide 21:9 format of the AG405UXC offer a distinct advantage for gamers, particularly those engaged in strategy, simulation, and role-playing games.

Furthermore, the monitor comes with a versatile stand with a wide range of tilt, swivel, as well as 150 mm height adjustment, providing comfort during extended gaming sessions. Additional features include a USB-C port with 90 W power delivery, a USB hub for convenient peripheral connection, and built-in speakers for a rich audio experience.

20 Comments on AGON by AOC Unveils the Ultra-wide AG405UXC 40-inch 144Hz Monitor
AGON, why? Where are 5K/2K 10-bit ultrawide monitors? Where is innovation in pixel density by monitor vendors?
The panel is enormous for the given resolution, which means you will be able to differentiate the individual dots of the matrix extremely easily.
It will be extremely poor experience, by all standards.
I guess they have severe problems with the DisplayPort and HDMI standards, also the graphics cards media acceleration units which must be updated in order to support ultra-high resolution experience flawlessy.
The industry is a mess.
As for DisplayPort, I understand that DP 2.1 display IC is new, but chips have been available to vendors for some time.That is true, but AMD does offer 54 Gbps ports on 7000 cards and 80 Gbps on workstation Pro cards already.
We had 6 companies at CES announcing that DP 2.1 displays would be coming later on in the year.
Besides, monitor vendors also need to take innovation leadership into their hands and don't wait until Nvidia farts.
4K TVs have already become mainstream and, most importantly, more affordable than ever before. Several hundred million 4K TV have been shipped to date globally. Why are monitors so behind?
Sure, let gamers buy this and similar 1440p monitors, but it's not the end of the road for ultra-wides. We have seen some initial efforts to go beyond 1440p and those efforts need to be communicated to the public and vendors alike. 5K/2K panels have stopped at 60 and 72 Hz and this needs to continue towards and beyond 100/120Hz, both for gamers and professionals.
There are gowing number of professional environments, from financial services, medical, creative, etc. that would benefit from improved ultra-wide monitor designs above 1440p and with higher refresh rates. Vendors need to do their research homework and see the world beyond clerk office worker and gamers.
