The first model, the AG246FK, features a 24.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1920×1080 and an impressive 540Hz refresh rate. It utilizes a TN panel to achieve this performance. It is VESA Certified for DisplayHDR 400, ensuring it can maintain a brightness of 400 cd/m2 (or nits). The second model, the AG256FS, offers a slightly lower refresh rate of 360Hz, which can be overclocked to 390Hz. However, it features a superior IPS panel, providing better color accuracy and wider viewing angles than the TN panel of the AG246FK. Both monitors boast a rapid 0.3ms response time, ensuring minimal motion blur and lag, which is critical for competitive gaming.
