Porsche Design and AOC have collaborated to introduce the first-ever Porsche Design AOC AGON Gaming Monitor. The PD27 aims to deliver a similar experience to driving a race car with its 27″ 1440p VA Panel, a 240Hz refresh rate, and 0.5ms response time, all packed in a sleek, eye-catching, racing-influenced design which was honored with the Red Dot Award for 2020.
Performance with no compromise on style
Just like a race car driver who anticipates and calculates how to enter the apex of a curve on the track, e-sports players must react quickly and make decisions in milliseconds. The performance of each piece of equipment is of the utmost importance, and can easily dictate the result of a competition. As such, Porsche Design tapped into its motorsports DNA and teamed up with AOC to create a high-performance monitor for gamers who are in it to win it.
“With its linear and purist design that blends form and function, the Porsche Design AOC AGON PD27 is a perfect embodiment of the brand’s DNA and overarching design philosophy. Combined with AOC AGON’s innovative and cutting-edge technologies, the new monitor is developed for gamers seeking optimal performance that doesn’t compromise on style,”
– Roland Heiler, Chief Design Officer at Porsche Design
The PD27’s design is accented by the silver stand, which is shaped like the roll cage of a race car. Just like in a sports car, it also delivers stability, endurance, and durability. Staying true to Porsche Design’s design philosophy which is an elegant blend of style and performance, the monitor can project its logos on the table in different colors, and light up the back of the display, elevating the gaming environment.
Shifting to the next gear
PD27 boasts QHD resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate for smooth and fluid visuals. It’s also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified and has a curvature of 1000R.
Its high refresh rate reduces perceivable motion blur, while its 1ms GtG and 0.5ms MPRT pixel response time guarantee clear, ghosting-free gaming. With Adaptive Sync (AMD FreeSync Premium Pro), users can also experience smooth gameplay, free of tearing. The VA panel’s 550 nits of brightness also ensure undisturbed gameplay under any lighting condition.
Driving gamer’s success
The PD27 also comes with a wireless (IR) keypad, so users can access the monitor’s settings or gaming presets on the fly. They will also be able to appreciate the roar of its 5W stereo speakers with DTS sound. It’s got a 4-port USB 3.2 hub, 2 HDMI 2.0 ports, and 2 DisplayPort 1.4 inputs.
