Porsche Design and Agon by AOC Launch the PD27S Gaming Monitor

Porsche Design and AGON by AOC, one of the world's top gaming monitor and IT accessory businesses, have collaborated to create the Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD27S, a 68.6 cm/27-inch premium gaming display with a design inspired by Porsche racing cars. With a 165Hz refresh rate overclocked to 170 Hz, a 1 ms Grey-to-Grey (GtG) reaction time, DisplayHDR 400 certification, and a broad colour gamut, the PD27S is the gaming monitor equivalent of a high-performance racing vehicle. The PD27S blends a beautiful, sleek, and utilitarian design with high-level technology, providing the user with enjoyment on every occasion, from day-to-day work to entertainment and high-performance gaming.

Awarded Design Complemented By Gaming Credentials

"We are now adding a new model to the portfolio we have established with Porsche Design. "Sharing the same creative and practical design platform as the PD32M introduced earlier this year, the PD27S provides mainstream gaming functionality in an attractive packaging," explains Stefan Sommer, Global Head of Marketing at TPV.

"Building on its successful cooperation with premium monitor brand AGON by AOC, Porsche Design is once again infusing the gaming industry with sportscar-inspired design. "Having received the 2022 "iF Design Award" and the "Red Dot Award: Product Design 2022," the Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD27S has received high critical acclaim, and its performance and level of technological innovation are as impressive as its design," says Roland Heiler, Chief Design Officer at Porsche Design.

Award-wining Design

The PD27S's functional design is identical to that of the 32-inch PD32M, which was unveiled in April. The PD27S was awarded the "iF Design Award 2022" and "Red Dot Award: Product Design 2022." For hard, extended gaming sessions, players must be able to depend on their equipment's durability. The primary feature of the PD27S is the sandblasted aluminium cast stand with its durable, utilitarian design and distinctive form, which resembles the steering wheel and spokes of a racing vehicle. Following the practical architecture of its internal components, the PD27S's clean, streamlined form has tapered surfaces on the back and sides of its housing. On the left and right sides of the gadget, metal mesh inlays resembling air-cooling intakes on automobiles contain the speakers. These portions are indirectly lighted using programmable RGB lighting (Light FX) to improve immersion and boost the sense of motion. The PD27S's ergonomic stand allows for pivot orientation, 150 mm of height adjustment, as well as tilt and swivel adjustments.

Cutting-edge technology

The distinctive design of the PD27S is paired with the superior display knowledge of AGON by AOC to provide stunning features for competitive gamers. The Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD27S has a flat IPS (AAS) screen with great colour accuracy and a broad colour spectrum. The PD27S excels in all color-critical jobs due to the 10-bit IPS panel's brilliant colour reproduction, which supports 95 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut and 99 percent of the sRGB gamut. The capacity of the DisplayHDR 400-certified PD27S to decode and reproduce high dynamic range material in movies, videos, and games enables the display to present visuals that are true to life. With its 109 ppi pixel density and sharp QHD resolution (25601440) on its 27-inch display, the PD27S is well suited for regular business usage. A QHD resolution is also the resolution of choice for ambitious gamers that want to easily attain both high framerates and high levels of detail. The 165Hz / 170Hz refresh rate and 1ms GtG reaction time enable fluent motion and almost no ghosting in fast-paced games. The PD27S features variable refresh rate thanks to Adaptive-Sync technology, minimising artefacts like as tearing and stuttering.

Superior everyday driver

The PD27S is not just a gaming monitor, but also a premium multipurpose device. Equipped with a 4-port USB 3.2 hub, external devices such as keyboards, mouse, and external hard drives may be linked quickly and efficiently, eliminating cable clutter and providing each workstation with a clean, practical structure. To complete the audio-visual experience, the PD27S is equipped with twin 5W DTS-enhanced speakers that provide clear and full sound. To remind consumers of its origins, the monitor will display an animated logo upon startup. The on-screen interface for adjusting numerous parameters, including colour options and game modes, is also uniquely designed. The display is accompanied with a USB drive including user instructions and relevant software.

The Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD27S is currently available for a suggested retail price of €499 through Porsche Design stores, specialised retailers, online at www.porsche-design.com, and via select online merchants.
