I generally have higher standards for colour uniformity, but otherwise tend to agree with these, and that holds true for the AG322QCX. Response times are okay, 4ms grey-to-grey according to the spec sheet, which isn’t quite as fast as a top-end TN but still decent for gaming.

Forget the build quality, though, the worst aspect to this monitor’s design is the LED lighting. You’re looking at $430 when it hits the United States, which is a great price for this sort of hardware. Generally though, these are strong initial results. Greys are the noticeable outliers (along with our favourite teal 1F), with the other shades chosen showing little inaccuracy.

This monitor packs lighting on both the rear and along the bottom edge, which can be set to one of three colors. Before discussing anything else, I wanted to talk a bit about this monitor’s curve. We calibrated the monitor to 120 nits brightness, which corresponded to a brightness setting of 44, contrast of 50 and Gamma setting 1. The AOC AG322QCX’s 1440p resolution and 144Hz refresh rate is a fantastic combination for gaming. The monitor was calibrated using the Spyder4Elite colourimeter, which has some flaws but is the most advanced testing equipment we have at present — an upgrade to a X-Rite i1Display Pro is planned. Another great aspect is the connectivity: there’s lots of it. I’m really glad AOC went for a directional toggle for their on screen display. If you enjoy our content, please consider subscribing...

What you’ll find here is all the usual stuff, like game modes, low blue light, a shadow boosting feature, and even a weird mode called Picture Boost that I don’t know when you’d use. Error values are consistently less than 10%, improving to less than 7% at 50% brightness, showing that the screen’s brightness is rather consistent throughout the panel.

Technically it’s RGB, as it can display red, green and blue, but that’s literally it. IPS monitors at 4K are probably the ideal, but if you want one monitor that does both play games and handle image or video editing, the AG322QCX won’t steer you too far wrong. very bright or very dark). While colour uniformity isn’t great, luminance uniformity is quite good as you can see from the contour maps below. Mobile Accessories, Reviews • September 28, 2017. The grey ramp also seems normal. The combination of size, a decent resolution, and a high refresh rate makes this an attractive option for anyone who wants to be immersed in games but would rather not splurge on a large ultrawide.
