The best of the best

AOC’s support and sponsorship of the Esports World Championship is just the latest example of the brand’s ongoing commitment to promoting the highest standards in gaming.

Known globally as one of the world’s premier monitor manufacturers, AOC has long championed the rise and recognition of gaming and gamers everywhere.

For years AOC has sponsored esports team and events, and in 2016 AOC launched the dedicated Agon brand specifically tailored to gamers’ increasingly nuanced needs.

The G2590PX being singled out as the leading monitor for professional gamers at the IeSF Esports World Championship is just the latest chapter in an ever-evolving story.

To celebrate the achievement Kevin Wu, general manager of MMD Pte Ltd., was invited to open the event with a keynote speech.

Fittingly, the milestone was achieved in Taiwan – the place where it all began 51 years ago, and still home of AOC HQ today.

What made the AOC G2590PX stand out

There are a myriad of reasons why the officials at IeSF chose AOC’s G2590PX as the official event monitor.

Purpose-built for gaming at a high professional level, competitors benefited from an unrivaled visual experience, marked by matchless onscreen detail and a seamless image flow.

As well serving up 24.5 inches of Full HD visuals, at 1920 x 1080 resolution, the G2590PX offers a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and AMD FreeSync – all of which combine to create a gaming environment free from blur, lag and screen tearing.

Competitors at the Esports World Championship will doubtless have noticed the difference when smashing out precision combo attacks on combat classic Tekken 7.

Other optimizations sure to have made a difference include AOC Shadow Control, which allows players to efficiently manage contrast in overly bright or dark areas on screen – particularly important for navigating the notoriously immersive environments of CS:GO.

Just the beginning

The recognition of AOC at this year’s Esports World Championship marks a major milestone in the brand’s storied history – but it is just the beginning. Earlier this year, AOC was also an official sponsor of July’s UK Esports Awards, while AOC was again called on to serve as official monitor partner for the WESG Oceania 2018, a celebrated esports tournament that provides an open-for-all platform for players from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Because for AOC the competitive gaming revolution is just beginning – and AOC intend on continuing to give gamers the best, every step of the way.

These new and AOC Monitors are now available in partner retail store branches nationwide: PC Express, PC Worx, Octagon, Thinkingtools, Computerworld, ThinkPC, Vivocom, and PC Chain. If you need more information you can refer out to the social media pages of AOC Monitor PH.
