AOC AGP277QKP Specifications

The monitor uses a Fast IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution. The panel runs natively at 400Hz refresh rate and can be overclocked to 425Hz. AOC lists the response times at 1ms gray-to-gray (GtG) and 0.3ms MPRT. To handle screen tearing and stuttering, the display supports Adaptive-Sync and is Nvidia G-Sync Compatible.

On the image quality side, the display provides a 2000:1 static contrast ratio. It covers 100% of the sRGB color space and 95% of the DCI-P3 color space. The panel comes factory-calibrated with an average Delta E of less than 2. The monitor is also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified, with a peak HDR brightness of 450 nits and a standard SDR brightness of 400 nits.

AOC has included a few features to address eye strain. The monitor uses a circular polarization lighting system intended to mimic natural light. It also features TÜV-certified hardware low blue light protection and a flicker-free backlight using DC dimming.

For competitive gaming, the monitor includes a setting that shrinks the active screen area to 24.5 inches, as well as a 4:3 aspect ratio mode for older esports titles.

Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 2.1 port (supporting UHBR13.5 bandwidth up to 54Gbps) and two HDMI 2.1 ports. There is also a built-in KVM switch that allows users to control two connected devices using one keyboard and mouse. This is supported by a USB hub with one USB-B upstream port, three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 downstream ports and a standard 3.5mm audio jack.

The monitor comes with a fully adjustable stand that supports height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments. The back of the display features AOC’s Light FX RGB lighting, and the frame includes a retractable headphone hanger.
