The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.
The AOC AGON Pro AG344UXM has an excellent pixel response time so it’s usable for fast-paced games. There is some very minor persistence, but setting the overdrive to its Medium setting will fix it. The Strong setting is good to use as well, but it will start to show some overshoot if your framerate isn’t close to the 170Hz limit. The spectral distribution at a calibrated 6500k is shown above, with the blue peak measured at 448 nm wavelength. This means it is notpart of the Eyesafecertified range of products, as it does not have a blue peak that is outside of the supposed harmful range according to Eyesafe which is 415 – 455nm.The image gets progressively warmer and more yellow as you move through the different settings, getting as far as 4552K in the maximum ‘reading’ LowBlue mode.Somewhat surprisingly, the AQ344UXM surpasses its spec when it comes to peak brightness. Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised actually, as the screen is capable of supporting 700 nits in even normal SDR mode! We measured a peak brightness of 1518 nits, which is a considerable way beyond the 1000 nits advertised. Oddly, the highest brightness is experienced for the large APL, reaching this 1518 nits at 100% white screen which is very uncomfortable to use up close. For smaller APL like a 1% window, the peak brightness was much lower at a fairly modest 651 nits. The peak brightness increases as the window size increases but by the time you get to 25% window size and above it’s basically reaching it’s max brightness range. Perhaps the smaller window sizes were limited in brightness to try and avoid haloing and blooming, although the dimming zones should be sufficiently small to handle 1% APL without too much issue. At 4K input the Xbox reports that the maximum refresh rate allowed is only 60Hz, which is strange given the supposed HDMI 2.1 bandwidth here. If you drop to 1080p then you can select 120Hz though fine. It does seem like 4K 120Hz isn’t available here. HDMI-VRR is supported, so you can select VRR on the console even with adaptive-sync disabled in the OSD menu (that would otherwise activate FreeSync over HDMI for Xbox). This means you can get VRR on both Xbox and PS5 consoles. At the maximum refresh rate of the screen we will also include our familiar more detailed response time measurements, which includes a wider range of transition measurements as well as some analysis of things like the refresh rate compliance. This identifies how many of the measured pixel transitions were fast enough to keep up with the frame rate of the screen. Ideally you’d want pixel response times to be consistently and reliably shorter than this refresh rate cycle, otherwise if they are slower it can lead to additional smearing and blurring on moving content.
Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Recommended brightness setting – to achieve approx 120 cd/m 2, which is the recommended luminance for LCD monitors in normal lighting conditionsThe percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area.
