Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, a professional Counter-Strike expert from G2 Esports, shares his experience:

When you play Counter-Strike at the highest levels like I do, you come to appreciate every single advantage you can get, and boy – 540Hz at 1.85ms frame rate and 0.5ms GtG is absolutely incredible.

The AGON PRO AG256FS features a 24.5-inch FHD Fast IPS panel that combines a 390Hz refresh rate with superior color reproduction and wide viewing angles, known to IPS technology, and responsiveness up to 1ms GtG. This monitor strikes the perfect balance between speed and image quality, making it ideal for competitive gamers who refuse to compromise on visual fidelity. Additionally, the 99.1% sRGB gamut coverage and DisplayHDR 400 ensure a vibrant and immersive gaming experience. Both monitors are equipped with an MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) mode, which uses strobing backlight technology to achieve an MPRT of 0.3ms for exceptionally clear motion and reduced blur in high-speed games. Furthermore, both models feature Adaptive-Sync support for variable refresh rates, delivering a stutter-free gaming experience across a wide range of frame rates. Additionally, the monitors’ low input lag ensures an immediate response to players’ actions, a crucial factor in high-level competitive gaming. Both models come with three esports-calibrated FPS modes with different saturation and pixel overdrive settings for a seamless gaming experience right out of the box.
