About this deal

The monitor isn’t certified to run G-Sync, but we were able to run it anyway (to learn how, see our instructions for How to Run G-Sync on a FreeSync Monitor). With the same settings mentioned above, Tomb Raider played at 90-100 fps with our Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Both FreeSync and G-Sync (unofficially) ran without issue. Power supply and consumption Information about the power supply and consumption, energy efficiency class, etc. 110V

The AOC AG493UCX2 also supports Picture by Picture, which along with the integrated KVM functionality allows you to connect two PC to the screen, display them side by side, and use a single set of keyboard/mouse to control both PCs. The curve is really well done. I also have the AOC CU34G2X 34" and they feel very similar and that is a solid monitor. The stand of the monitor is quite robust and versatile with up to 100mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, +/- 15° swivel and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. The stand comes fully assembled, but rather than just clipping into the panel there are four screws to secure it in place. On our review sample, the holes didn’t line up properly, so I had to screw them in at a slight angle. As they tightened they pulled into line, but it’s a rare bit of sub-par build quality that I don’t expect from AOC. The misaligned screw holes are the only negative I can attribute to the build, though. Everything else is pristinely manufactured, with close-fitting panels and a reassuring heft that feels distinctly premium. The energy efficiency class/label provides general idea about the power consumption. There are different energy efficiency classes and each sets its own requirements regarding the power consumption. Some of the existent energy efficiency classes are A+++, A++, A+, A, B, C, D, E, F, G.VA glow is minimal, and light bleed is visible but not distracting. It’s far better than most IPS displays, and about average for a VA panel.

The monitor has a power switch and integrated KVM functionality, it comes with a remote controller, and one of the USB downstream inputs supports fast charging. Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. Even the lowest level of High Dynamic Range (HDR) feature poses a significant upgrade to common monitors. The peak luminance of 400 cd/m² enables your display to hone the picture quality with a manifold colour spectrum and more diverse contrast. The VESA-certificate ensures richness of detail and realistic portrayals of game and film worlds.Besides the standard image settings (brightness, contrast, color temperature), the AGON AG493UCX2 offers aspect ratio control, three gamma presets and automatic input selection. Unleash your reflexes by switching to the AOC Low Input Lag mode. Forget graphical frills: this mode rewires the monitor in favour of raw response time, giving the ultimate edge in hair trigger stand offs. If the USB setting on the monitor is set to USB 3.2, the max refresh of USB-C is limited to 5120×1440 @ 60Hz or 2560×1440 @ 60Hz in PBP. Finally, if you don’t need a KVM or USB-C, we recommend the Samsung Odyssey G9 for gaming and the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 for HDR, as far as 32:9 ultrawide monitors go. You should also consider the Dell AW3423DWF with a 21:9 OLED panel.
