INTRODUCTION

   Arguably the hardest part when building a new PC is finding the right monitor for your needs. I mean think about it, you can decide on pretty much every hardware component (like the graphics card, CPU, mainboard, memory modules and storage) on benchmark results alone (whether by the manufacturers themselves or people like us) but when it comes to peripherals and specifically the most expensive one of them all (i think it's safe to say that's the monitor) there are many things one can take into account. So leaving out the obvious first step which is size (inches) you also need to take into account aspect ratio (16:9/16:10/21:9/32:9), panel type (VA/TN/IPS/PLS/AHVA), refresh rate (60/75/100/120/240Hz), response times (measured in milliseconds) and extra technologies used (like NVIDIA's G-SYNC and AMD's FreeSync which promise reduced screen tearing and input lag). The AGON line of gaming monitors by AOC is extremely popular among gamers all around the world and today with us we have the AG352UCG model.

   AOC is one of the global top brands in the display market. High quality, first-rate service, an attractive design as well as environmentally friendly and innovative products at competitive prices are the reasons why more and more consumers and distribution partners trust in AOC.
