AOC makes expensive mini LED monitor with Porsche Design

The display features a virtually borderless 32-inch panel with mini-LED backlighting for better contrast and light control. In addition, the minimalist design of the aluminum frame, which looks quite solid, should be reminiscent of the Porsche steering wheel style. Sometimes it’s just what you want to see inside, of course.

Regardless of whether the foot resembles a Porsche steering wheel, the design speaks high. Plus, very few gaming monitors look this elegant. On the back are some RGB LED panels that can take on any color, while on the sides are two headphone supports. It seems a little crazy, but we can imagine gamers often have more than one headset for gaming.

Porsche design is nice, but for many gamers that’s not why they choose this AOC monitor. If they’re paying 1,650 euros for something excluding VAT when converted, then the properties must really be top notch.

The special version of AOC Agon Pro PD32M offers gamers 4k resolution in 16:9 aspect ratio. It also has a 144 Hertz refresh rate, one millisecond response time, DisplayHDR 1400 support, and 97 percent range of the DCI-P3 color space.

Additionally, the spec sheet mentions AdaptiveSync. But it’s unclear what exactly AOC means by that, and whether it supports FreeSync from AMD or G-Sync from Nvidia.

You’ll also find two HDMI ports on the back. One of these two ports supports HDMI 2.1 and therefore displays 4k and 120 frames per second. There’s also DisplayPort connectivity, four USB 3.2 ports, and you can connect wired headphones via the headphone jack.

There’s also a USB-c port, two eight-watt speakers, and you get a wireless controller. This is a kind of remote control used to switch resources and operate some functions.

The real question, of course, is whether an expensive monitor like the AOC Agon Pro PD32M is worth the money. Porsche might add its name to that, but that doesn’t guarantee a high-quality product.

In addition, Apple recently showed that you can go wrong with expensive monitors. Studio Display not only shows problems with the built-in camera, updating is also impossible at the moment. These types of issues can be resolved over time, but they’re not exactly what you want to run into when spending that much money.

On the other hand, it is not the first time that AOC and Porsche have suddenly joined forces. For several years now, Porsche monitors have been a thing, with an emphasis on luxury and a slick look. If monitors had rated badly, it would probably have been different.
